I'm not really into that dark kind of fanfiction, so I can't provide specific examples. But generally, such fanfiction might explore Naruto's extreme despair or difficult situations that push him to the brink of suicidal thoughts, which is a very disturbing and non - canon take on the character.
One good example could be a story where Merlin discovers the reader's suicidal thoughts through his magic. He then uses his powers to show the reader all the beauty and potential in life. Another might be a fic where Merlin's unwavering friendship slowly pulls the reader back from the brink. For instance, he might take the reader on adventures in Camelot, introducing them to new people and experiences that make them see life in a new light.
In a small town, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy who was an artist. But the boy was constantly struggling with his own demons and self - doubt. The girl tried her best to support him, but the boy thought he was not good enough for her. Eventually, he ended his life, leaving the girl in a state of shock and deep sorrow. Their love was cut short by his tragic decision.
The theme of sacrifice is also common. Sometimes in love, one person sacrifices so much for the other, but when things don't go as expected, they might feel that all their efforts were in vain. For example, a person might give up their career or dreams for their partner, but if the relationship fails, they may become so despondent that they consider ending their life. Another theme is the lack of communication. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, and in a love relationship, this can build up over time and lead to a very sad and sometimes suicidal situation.
They're tragic because love is supposed to be a positive, life - affirming force. But in these stories, it leads to death. It's the destruction of the hope that love usually brings.
Typically, 'suicidal love fanfic' often has a very gloomy atmosphere. The love in it is often overshadowed by feelings of despair and hopelessness, with characters perhaps having self - destructive thoughts due to unrequited love or some tragic backstory.
One story is about a young man who felt extremely isolated. He had lost his job and all his friends seemed to have abandoned him. He stood on the edge of a bridge one night, the wind was howling and the water below looked black and menacing. But at the last moment, a stranger passing by noticed him and started a conversation. This simple act of human connection made him step back from the edge.
Some cringe love stories involve people who are in love with the idea of being in love rather than the actual person. They might go on dates and pretend to be head - over - heels, but it's clear they don't really know or care about the other person's true self. There are also those who use love as a means to gain popularity or social status. For example, a person dating someone just because they are popular in school or at work, and they make a big show of their 'love' which is really just a ploy for attention and is super cringe.
In 'The Phantom of the Opera', the Phantom's love for Christine was a cursed one. His disfigured face and his dark, possessive love made it impossible for them to have a normal relationship. Christine was torn between the Phantom and Raoul, and the whole situation was filled with mystery, danger and a sense of doom.
One example is 'Wuthering Heights'. Heathcliff and Catherine's love is dark. Their passion is mixed with revenge and envy. Heathcliff is treated poorly as a child, and his love for Catherine turns into a dark obsession after she marries another. Another is 'The Phantom of the Opera'. The Phantom's love for Christine is dark as he tries to control her life in the name of love.
