Favorite Fics - General Angst

[merith]

General Angst - The definition of Angst in the dictionary contains the synonym Gundam Wing. Like romance, there are many angst fics. The characters in this series just bleed angst, and we fanficcers adore it. Mostly. Now, angst can come from many sources, so be sure to check the main intent of the story first. Such as a prison fic infused with NCS and torture is angst-filled, but it probably is best found in the NCS/Violence category. But, a story where life is getting the protagonist down (break-up, lost job, dog died, best friend moved away), that is general angst and fits right in here.
