I don't mind these types of stories. For instance, one of my favorite stories on here is "Whitewashed" wherein Lincoln stops talking to his sisters after they not only destroyed the comic book he was working on, but they also washed his mouth out with soap, and beat him up. Needless to say, I liked the story - especially with Lincoln giving Lori a good punch in the face (even though it seemed a little...much). He was a real savage in that fanfic.

For the most part, I like stories that either deconstruct the basic premise of the show, or are tragic. Now, I don't hate happy endings or heartwarming moments, but I feel that a tragic ending or whatever scarcely happens in most stories based on the LH. I loved Requiem because of how it seemed close to how I would expect the family would react if Lincoln did get diagnosed with a terminal illness. Granted, I no longer have any interest in it, and I don't really find it sad anymore. In truth, I would actually care more if any of the other characters died than Lincoln, mostly because after that story was published several other stories about Lincoln taking the dirt nap popped up. It's just not surprising anymore. That, and I never found him as my favorite character, so I really only felt sorry for the family. That, and it's just cheesy in most of its scenes.

Or Syngenesphobia or whatever the heck you spell it. I loved that one because it deconstructs the fights in the show. While show-wise it's meant to be comedic, this story actually delves into how horrific it can truly be if it were realistic. I honestly didn't feel sorry for the sisters when they started to face the consequences for it either. Yes, they regret what they had done to Lincoln, but there was no way that they were going to get out of this one....those karma houdinis. I honestly would prefer the story to not have a happy ending, because I feel that Lincoln being permanently scared of his siblings would be the worst punishment for them. They would have to live the rest of their lives knowing that they scarred their only brother, and there would be nothing they could do about it.

Whatever the ending, this story actually made me inspired to write Shattered Innocence as a what if for "No Such Luck."
