Fanfics that made you cry the most.

How has no one mentioned Twist and Shout yet?? It's on fanfiction.net and it was the only fanfic that made me cry each and every time I read it. And every time I hear Elvis. And I go to a beach. Or I spill milk. Don't read it. It will ruin your emotions with sadness. Do not be fooled by the first 4 chapters of fluff.

The Survival of Hope, a digimon fic, always makes me cry. I mean, I cry at a lot of things. so in this case I don't mean "misty eyes" or "short of breath" or anything. I mean literally gut wrenching sobs. I've read it twice and finally had to ban myself from reading it, even though it's such a great story, because I can't handle it.

Hitchcups, A How To Train Your Dragon fic. Its a bit too long but great.

"Highway to Hell" a Real Ghostbusters fic.

Back when I was new to fanfics Plans For A Seduction really made me tear up.

The ending to this Tales of Vesperia fic made me cry, and I don't even ship the characters in question.

The Heart Rate Of A Mouse, or THROAM, for short.

Basically a sad gay love story sort of thing but really sad

What fandom is it from? Can you link?

Im extremely sorry for the double post, but I have another one.

Flailing Spirits by Gabu

It really made me cry. Wendy is also amazing on this fic, and I love her so that's always a plus. Also a tiny bit of Soosx Melody. That's always a MAJOR Plus.

Grief, a HTTYD fanfic that explores a world where Hiccup was killed by the mind-controlled Toothless in the second movie.

Cabin Fever. Now, to be precise, this ATLA fanfic didn't make me cry. But the trauma that Katara (my favorite character from the show) went through still haunts me.

Somewhere Only We Know. Now this ATLA fanfic made me cry. It's set during the LOK show and Katara is mourning Aang's passing on Korra's 18th birthday.

Everything Will Be Just Fine. Aang helps Katara to let go of him as old age takes him away from the world of the living.

EDIT: I've come back to add more fanfics that made me cry or made me depressed. I might multi-post if this thread becomes more active in the near-future.

You dont need to multipost. I will post here so you dont have to.

That's why I said "until this thread becomes more active in the near-future".

That implicitly implies that someone will post which means that I won't be double, triple or quadruple (etc.) posting.

Albeit, that happened sooner than I expected, and I don't have any other fics to offer this thread at the moment. XD

There's a part in a Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys Fan Fiction, In The Dark, that got me going. Mostly due to the likely outcomes to Melanie... when I work on the ghosts of the fallen in my Celebrity Deathmatch Fic, I should add that somehow.

This Mega Man story leading Classic into X is so sad I nicknamed it "the sad fic." https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9691407/1/Supernova

Requiem for a Loud is amazingly sad. And I dont even like The Loud House.

Buried.

Two Words = Poor Kim.

Hmm... Out of all fanfics I've read and had made me cry(and there are couple of those), the one I remember very well was Redwall-fanfic that was unfortunately been deleted, The Sword and His Flowers, written by Free Thought, also deleted.

While I don't remember all the details, I do remember that it was Martin/Rose fanfic with very Bittersweet Ending that made me feel all kind of feelings, especially sadness.

I've lately been binging Gravity Falls fics (super-late to that particular party, I know, but shut up :V), and I always thought I could never feel sad when reading a fanfic. Until I read the oneshot Mabel's Guide to Death, that is. I've read some other sadfics since then but this one stands out because it's not, like, total endless sadness; it's actually more focused on humour, despite the circumstances (which I won't spoil, though I'm sure you can guess from the title), and honestly wouldn't feel too out of place in the actual show, which I spose works well to highlight how bittersweet it all is. Hell, even now I can't read the last segment without feeling a lump in my throat. And I don't get sad easily, believe me.

Change My Mind by larry_love13.

A massive fic on Steven Universe: Future diverging from after the episode "Fragments", taking Steven's trauma and turmoil to the extreme!

Um... that's most definitely not the fic you intended to share...

Of all fandoms, this Untitled Goose Game fanfic is surprisingly sad. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13548648/1/Goose-In-The-Time-Of-Social-Distancing

I'm not gonna link it because it's explicit in parts, but The Scandinavian Defense by leoandsnake on ao3 is probably THE most famous Kendall/Stewy fic of all time and MY GOD. It's made me laugh, it's made me cry. It's so good. Succession has the best fic writers I swear.

There's also a Dale/Gerry fic on ao3 which the name escapes me, but it's the only one on there. And holy fuck I was crying for the second half of it, excellent use of Break the Comedian (literally, since Gerry is a comedian). I'm also not linking that one because again, it's explicit in parts.

Holiday with the Hippogriffs: I just have to praise the author for how they perfectly portrayed someone with the trauma of being an orphan, not having family at all, and growing up in Wretched Hive inhabited only by Jerkasses. The moment where Gallus suddenly runs away from Silverstream and her family and starts crying after reaching desolated part of the beach was something that I expected will eventually happen after Gallus starts thinking about his parents and comparing how life in Mount Aris/Seaquestria is different than life in Gryffinstone. But after all, the scene where Gallus tells Silverstream about his problems is highlight of this fic and ends fanfic on a positive note.
