Do you know any angsty fourtris oneshots?
Thanks for this question! It is kinda ironic you asked this. After reading the marvelous one shots by Milner (The First Time) and Windchimed (Intrusion and Waiting, technically a 3-shot), it made me want to post a list of my favorite one shots. Since you asked for angsty ones, the list is a bit shorter, but here goes:
First off, if you are familiar with Lola Bleu’s stories, you should definitely read her Pictures on the Wall. It is a collection of drabbles (similar to one-shots) in her various universes, such as Patterns and Fairytales. The ones that are more angsty are: Jealous Four, Hactivist/Activist, War of Attrition, Four Makes An Appearance, One the Road and Patterns and Fairytales Alternate Ending.
Technically a two-chapter story and not a one shot per se, but if you haven’t read Lola’s into the blood we sink and burn, do so immediately. It is definitely angsty and so beautifully written.
Muscle Memory is an excellent one shot and very moving.
Say Something is another good one shot. Tris is lethally injured and Tobias struggles to make it through. It does have a good ending, so don’t worry.
Wide Awake is a M-rated one shot that will leave you heartbroken at the end, so be warned.
‘Tis But the Truth in Masquerade is one of my favorite stories. It is not technically a one shot, but instead a series of AU short drabbles about if Four & Tris had chosen differently. Some of them are angsty, so I included it.
Free is an AU. It has angst re: the abuse Tobias suffered at the ends of his father, but does have a hopeful ending.
We Never Got Out of Style is definitely angsty, but the happy ending makes up for it. It is really well written, as are the rest of TheaWrites’ stories.
Close My Eyes Forever is another one that is angsty (Tris and Tobias are broken up at the start), but the ending is uplifting and hopeful.
Stay With Me is a one-shot from Tobias’ POV when Tris leaves for Erudite, so definitely high on the angst factor.
Before Daylight and Her Tobias are both full of the angst associated with the ending of Allegiant, so get those tissues ready.
Tips is an excellent long one shot that I recently discovered. I don’t know if it is truly angsty, but definitely full of uncertainty and trepidation. I highly recommend it.
One of the most heartbreaking one shots I know of is One Small Moment.
Worth Fighting For offers an alternate ending to Allegiant, but getting there is full of worry and angst.
Finally, I have to mention my all time favorite one-shot Touch by one of the best Divergent fan fic authors, wee kraken. It is not exactly angst-ridden, but it is beautiful. And if you haven’t read her stories yet, you need to do so urgently. Her Killing Four (don’t worry, he doesn’t really die) is one of my favorite fan fics.
