''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6581000/1/The-Utonium-Trials The Utonium Trials]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' fanfic by Ergoemos.

Four years have passed since the Powerpuff Girls were created yet the sisters have not grown an inch. This leaves them alienated amongst their peers. After the government becomes aware of the girls existence, their father Professor Utonium is arrested for creating them. The girls are then taken into custody and put on trial. Can it be proved that, in the end, they're just normal children trying to live average enough lives? Or are they inhuman dangers to society?

''The Utonium Trials'' is a ''Powerpuff Girls'' tale set in a darker universe that deconstructs elements of the cartoon.
