Wham! Line/Fan Works

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Shinji: We had a child.

  • Forward: "Inducer One-One-Nine. (...) Kathryn Wade. Katie."
  • Mass Vexations: "You don't fucking understand! I knew she was going to fucking die since I fucking arrived on the fucking Citadel!"
  • Tiberium Wars: "You can call me LEGION."
  • Fuck the Jesus Beam: " Are you kidding me, girl? I've been in stasis for over a HUNDRED MILLION YEARS. If anyone threatens my domain, they -will- die. But first, I shall reclaim it."
    • Chapter 8:
  • Relationships Series: "I think...you need to break up with Wendi and Nove, now."
  • Renegade: "You can't kill the Messiah."
  • My Immortal: "Very well [...] Butt we cannot do this. We can’t close the school. There is only one person who is capable of killing Voldemort and she is in the school. And her name is…………………………………………………………………..Enony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way."
  • In Derelict, Lieutenant Mackie figures out what the SD Nyarlathotep is trying to accomplish after forty-five missions of complete mystery.

Mackie: Oh my god! I know where she's going! Home! The Nyarlathotep is going home!"

Blud: "THAT'S WHERE YOUR WRONG MY SHINY HAIRED APPRENTICE. YOU SEE I ONLY PRETENDED TO BE YOUR SHINIGAMI BUT IN FACT I WAS L'S ALL ALONG. I GAVE HIM A LIFE NOTE AND ALL I HAVE TO DO IS WRITE L'S NAME IN IT AND HE WILL COME BACK TO LIFE AS GOOD AS NEW AND YOUR PLANS WILL HAVE BIN FOILLED!"

    • Chapter 14, after Dark finds some familiar age/sex/location information on a Talk to Dead Dudes Note.

Dark: "r u l lol?"
L: "yep"

Fate: "I'm sorry, I can't. Mother, did you know you had a split personality disorder?"

Gordon Freeman: John Freeman you let next boss step on me and made me headcrab zombie. Combines came and put science in me and made me live and strong and big now. I make you and Henry Freeman headcrab zombies. Prepair to die.

Raonar: Ladies and gentlemen… I have just made the Archdemon smarter, and if it was not self-aware before, it definitely is now.

Madara: JAKE! U MUST KNOWETH SOMETHING! TALIANA! SHE IS THOU MOTHER!"

    • This exchange.

Madara: "YES! U WILL NEVR MAKE IT 2 DA COUMCOLS ROOM!"
Ronan: "THA COUNCIL? IM LOKING 4 SAKUR!"
Madara: "OH WELL DEN UR IN 4 A SURPRIS... 4 U C DIS IS THJE CUNCILS HEADQURTES!"

    • At the end of Chapter 49, the Council declares that they will resurrect Sakura if Ronan wins their tournament. What makes it a Wham line? Sakura isn't dead yet, and is killed immediately after they say this.
    • This line from Chapter 70, or even the presence of a Chapter 70 in a fic that was set to end after 69 chapters.

Hello. Do not adjust your computer screen... for it is I, Benji (that guy Jake bitches about all the time)!

Blaine: ...I'm not a virgin.

    • And in the twentieth chapter:

Greg: Having a rough patch, Tom?

  • Soul Chess: "Aizen! Kill yourself!"
  • When There Was a Tomorrow: We're given the line "For now simply know that your prior feelings when we first met were understandable and I do not think poorly of you for them." Now, what makes this apparent Character Development laden line so surprising? Legion is the one saying it! What makes it even Whammier is that when Tali points out this change in behavior Legion insists it's not calling itself "I" and seems genuinely unaware that it's doing so. The exact significance of this line has yet to be seen, however.
  • With Strings Attached has two:
    • “The biggest thing is that there really isn't a curse on Ketafa.”
    • “It's all been a real game, hasn't it.”
  • Death Note fanfic Xanatos starts off with L reconsidering his method of catching Kira, and so striking a deal with Rem. We're made to believe that she went along with his plan after L fakes his own death, but then chapter nine gave us this:

Still, maybe she [Rem] was wrong about L...maybe she shouldn't have killed him...

  • Harry Potter fanfic Pretending to Live has the main Original Character drop this one on a sixteen year old Tom Riddle:

I can help you...with your Horcruxes.

  • Two in rapid succession at the end of Stars Above Chapter 4:

"We're the only ones left."
"Neither of us killed it... you did."

Applejack: AH AIN'T SAY YA LYIN'! YA ARE A LIE!

Shinji: (to himself) "Well, at least (the next world) can't be as bad as the one I just left, right?"
Cute red-headed young woman with horns: "N yu?"

Phoenix: The suspect the defense accuses is the witness... Fluttershy!

Ema Skye " Scientifically speaking, she is right.

Firefly: Because... he... he...! He killed my parents!

    • Chapter 16, when Black Star tells Edge to deliver a message for Firefly:

Black Star: (to Edge) I feel regret for killing her parents. Let her know that.

Shizune: I hit 'Send' as I turned the handle and walked in on Shiina[1] and Hisao fucking on my bed.

Auror Komodo: Hermione Granger, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of Draco Malfoy.

Mai: You see all those years ago, when I got to your letter, something had to be done. You where not sick... like I wanted everyone to believe... I had made something just for you to eat so that little problem would go away... and yes, I took pleaser in doing it...

Lilly: "I-I’m sorry, but Hisao... p-passed away ye-yesterday"

    • Chapter 8
  • Hakumei: (extra jarring considering he's essentially leveling a blood feud against his own clan)

Masaru, a.k.a. Arashi no Sasuke/Sasuke Uchiha: Uchiha Yumi...I swear by this blood that I will have my revenge for {{[spoiler|Sakura}}]. Every drop of blood that your spilled will be repaid ten times over. I denounce you, Uchiha Yumi, you and your entire family as hypocrites and murderers. From this day forth, I and my children will never eat with you and yours. I arm myself against you

Gregory: Here's the really unpleasant part Warwick. How many families do you know with that old photo on the mantle and the child who they don't talk about anymore?

Sol: (jokingly) Maybe they're Jovian!

  • The Doctor Who fanfiction Of More Value Than Many Sparrows, in which the Doctor takes a depressed Rose to visit New York.

" She looked up and stared, her mouth hanging open, at buildings that should't be there."

  • Poke Wars has quite a few of these:
    • From The Coalescence:

"This explosion would be seen from several cities away, and it was something that they would never forget. It would also commemorate something else. That day was the day that the 23-year-old gym leader known as Sabrina died.

    • From The Incipience:
      • Chapter 7:

Regigigas: "Ho-oh, it's not a matter of wanting to give you the orb, not that I would give it to you…if I had it."

      • Chapter 9:

"'Hmm…how unusual. How did this get here? Interesting. Wonder if this machine is capable of creating this. Will have to see. Interesting prospect, may open new doors. Will have to keep this secret. Ho-oh's shortsighted hatred may make him blind to the possibilities this subject can create,' Uxie said to himself, looking at the single strand of black hair."

      • Epilogue:

Darkrai: "What if we were to remove the dampeners of the humans?"

    • From The Exigence:
      • Chapter 4:

"Butterfree's Protect held for exactly five seconds."

    • Chapter 7:

Houndoom: "We mean you no harm."

    • From The Defervesence:

Uxie: "Muk thrive in areas of waste. Unwanted by humans in cities and unwanted by Pokémon in wild. Coexistence with others in wild difficult due to neighboring Pokémon exhibiting heightened senses of smell. Not uncommon for Muk to be forced into city by aggressive Pokémon in wild. Muk typically forced to live in sewers beneath city to avoid human aggression. Limited light. Limited mobility. Dampener removal and message from you initiated desire to take and expand territory. Despite our eminence, chances of reasoning with them to stop are…low. Will have to eliminate entire species."

Alpha: "I guess before the Heartless invaded, this castle used to exist in a world known only as Radiant Garden."
Fawful: "So, I guess now would be a good time for me to drop the act, huh Commander?"
