History AfterTheEnd / FanWorks

* ''Fanfic/StellaronDisasterAU: After the Stellaron landed on Teyvat, it spelled the end of the world. The Astral Express lands in the world long after its people and gods are dead save for the monsters and a single survivor.

* ''Fanfic/NineteenEightyThreeDoomsdayStories'': The stories all take place after a nuclear war broke out in TheEighties, and what happened after ''that'', from the perspective of the Nations themselves.

* ''Fanfic/AtTheEndOfDays'': This happens when the life fibers take over the world completely, though it's not so much "after" any more than it is ''during'', as Ryuuko mentions the time before, while crazy, was normal.

* ''Fanfic/TheFaceless'' is an [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] which explores the FridgeHorror of having a realm of Death Gods that only need your name and face to kill you and what would happen once the [[BrokenMasquerade Masquerade Broke]].

* ''Fanfic/ScarTissue'': Most of Governments have been reinstated, and the half of world population has returned. However the major cities are in ruins, the roads are broken, the other half of people keeps missing and the returned ones are living on refugee camps as cities are being rebuilt, there is a lack of supply water, crops are damaged and there are riots due to the lack of food and water.

* The Forum Quest ''Roleplay/DragonBallAfterTheEnd'' takes place several centuries after the destruction of Earth, focusing on the descendants of the survivors, who have since all become part Saiyan.
* The ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/DownToAgincourt'' is AfterTheEnd in that the Apocalypse is well under way when it starts--but it's also literally ''after "The End"'', the episode it's based on!
* ''Fanfic/TheFaceless'' is a ''Manga/DeathNote'' [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] which explores the FridgeHorror of having a realm of Death Gods that only need your name and face to kill you and what would happen once the [[BrokenMasquerade Masquerade Broke]].
* This is a surprisingly popular trope in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction.
** ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'': This ''MLP'' fanfic -- along with the countless [[RecursiveFanfiction Recursive Fanfics]] it has inspired -- takes place about 200 years after a magical-nuclear war between the zebras and ponies destroyed almost the entire world, and of what it takes to try and bring light back to the wasteland.
** ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsOptimalAlwaysSayNo'', a RecursiveFanfiction of ''FanFic/FriendshipIsOptimal'', goes into far more detail about the collapse of society as humans [[BrainUploading emigrate]] to Equestria, which is mostly glossed over in the original story.
** ''Fanfic/HarmonyTheory'': The Schism was an apocalyptic event which resulted in this.
** ''Fanfic/MyLittleMetro'': Similar to ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' but set much nearer to the recent apocalypse, crossed with the underground world of ''VideoGame/Metro2033''
** The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' reveals Equestria's tribal history seen in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve Hearth's Warming Eve]]" (and to an extent, the modern day as a recovered state), is this for the G2 world, whose late 20th century-level civilization collapsed when [[spoiler: Discord's brother Destruction basically nuked the planet in order to [[CosmicRetcon prevent the creation of G3]] and thus a ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 Apocalypse.]] The "Gaiden: 7 Dreams/Nightmares" collection shows the immediate aftermath of this from the perspective of the main G2 ponies, and it definitely fits the qualifications of the trope.
** ''Fanfic/RuinValue'' takes place in the ruins of a city after Discord taught the people of the world how to harness his magic. [[spoiler: The story is actually a StealthPrequel to the entire series, with Celestia, Luna, and Discord being the genetically engineered products of a much more advanced civilization -- humanity.]]
** Part of the premise of ''Fanfic/TheEndOfPonies''.
** The twist that [[TheEndingChangesEverything changes everything]] about the story ''Fanfic/TheWritingOnTheWall'' is that what Daring Do and company were exploring wasn't any sort of tomb at all but [[spoiler:a nuclear waste storage facility left behind by humanity.]] The titular writing wasn't a curse, but a warning from the now extinct species about the dangers within.
* ''Fanfic/MyNameIsMolly'' is an ''Animal Crossing'' fanfic that reinterprets the world as being this. There was a [[ThePlague fast-spreading plague]] that endangered the human species. Children who weren't sick with the plague were rounded up, forcibly turned into animals, removed of their memories, and shipped off to far-away villages to live as {{Funny Animal}}s. The adults and remaining children were bombed.
* The Pokemon story ''Fanfic/NewWorld'' takes place some time after a yet to be specified event has wiped out human civilization. The main story takes place far enough after that that the main characters are not even aware that there ever was a previous civilization, and know nothing about the the end of it. A subplot about a girl who lived in that time period shows us more of what was happening back then.
* In episode 48 of ''Fanfic/PrettyCurePerfumePreppy'', [[spoiler:the Cures encounter a desolated, post-apocalyptic Oriyama after returning from the Scent Kingdom]].
* The ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' and ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'' crossover fanfic ''Fanfic/SeinenKakumeiUtena'' has its story beginning ten years after the Duel called Revolution, and several weeks after the Fate Train Transfer.
* ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'' is this for most of the Milky Way Galaxy, largely devastated by thirty years of the Metarex War and Shroud infestation. Most of the worlds in the galaxy are either lifeless or actively malevolent too, with Demons and Angels fighting over the scraps that still remain.
* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': The final chapters happen during and after the Third Impact: the world gets wrecked, two thirds of humanity, and the survivors have to rebuild their civilization.
* [[http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/XoRax XoRax]] portrays [[spoiler:Hyrule]] this way after a strange and unexplained plague called [=XoRax=] kills most of the population and mutates those who remain.
* The later parts in the ''Fanfic/Gensokyo20XX'' series take place after WorldWarIII.
* ''Fanfic/HalloweenUnspectacular'' has a couple of examples:
** "Masters of War" starts with WorldWarIII breaking out and devastating America and most of the rest of the world. The rest of the story follows the attempts by civilization to survive and rebuild afterwards.
** "South Point" is set years after an AlienInvasion resulted in humanity being enslaved and taken off planet, until Earth is left depopulated. The only people known to have escaped this fate are [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny, Dani, and Jazz]].
* This happens in ''Fanfic/AtTheEndOfDays'', when the life fibers take over the world completely, though it's not so much "after" any more than it is ''during'', as Ryuuko mentions the time before, while crazy, was normal.
* ''Fanfic/HuntersOfJustice'': After Braniac's AlienInvasion and the subsequent bottling of Vale, life has not been kind to those that survived. Only Beacon and the surrounding agricultural district are under law and order; the rest of the city has devolved into complete anarchy, with criminals like Adam Taurus running amok. One such criminal, Roman Torchwick, has taken control of what's left of the industrial district and is now holding the city by the balls with it. The dwindling resources have also caused the economy to shift to a bartering system, and things like dust fragments have replaced Lien as currency. Most of all, however, is the complete sense of despair that hangs over the entire population. Within days of the invasion's end, so many people succumbed to depression that all the alcohol stores were depleted, causing the bars to resort to moonshine. The end result is that suicide rates are at an all-time high, and, in Beacon at least, Ozpin has already started and increased the amount of group therapy sessions to keep what little morale is left up. While the narrative doesn't dive into how the other bottled Remantian cities are doing, there are implications that they are hardly any better off.
* ''Fanfic/LightDarknessAndParadox'' has the world beyond the first Tartarus, in which angels have committed genocide on the residents of the surface world.

** ''FanFic/FriendshipIsOptimalAlwaysSayNo'', a RecursiveFanfiction of ''FanFic/FriendshipIsOptimal'', goes into far more detail about the collapse of society as humans [[BrainUploading emigrate]] to Equestria, which is mostly glossed over in the original story.
