Blessed with Suck/Fanfic


 * With Strings Attached has two instances of Blessed with Suck:
 * John has complete control over water and the body of a winged god; but he also has to eat constantly, has ears so sensitive that he folds up in pain at shrill sounds that don't bother other people, and, worst of all, is no longer human, so he's no longer sexually attracted to human women.
 * Paul is so ridiculously strong that he can barely move without causing chaos. He has practiced literally day and night to get to the point where he can walk around, but he has to keep constant watch on himself, keep his arms at his sides, etc. To revert to his more manageable lower level of strength, he has to explode, creating a large glassy crater and pretty much wiping out everything around him. Even at his lower level of strength he has to fiercely regulate his behavior. And in neither case does he dare have sex. Oh, and neither of them can go home as is...
 * In Kyon: Big Damn Hero, Haruhi realizes her power and nearly goes into a Heroic BSOD when she realizes just how sensitive it is. Yuki helps subvert this trope by becoming a buffer, and Haruhi runs a Memory Gambit on herself to limit herself to more manageable Mind Over Matter powers.
 * Pretty much all of the hybrids in Morphic to a greater or lesser degree (it is a Deconstruction after all), but Gabriel, a half-Slugma really takes the cake.
 * Doubled. Not only is he half a blob of magma, but if he absorbs mud or stone, he begins to heat and get fire powers, which is awesome ... until you realise that, as his body temperature goes up, major tissue and organ damage would result. He's only (part) human. Special mention also goes to Mia Kerrigan, the Scyther morph, who has bladed arms, lightning reflexes, accelerated growth and is probably the strongest of the cast ... but does not understand empathy, limits or self-control.
 * In Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns, the dwarven noble protagonist is a Magic Knight because he harbors a tear in the veil. Unfortunately, while he did get some of the spirit warrior abilities form Awakening, this seems to have caused at least as may problems, some of them rather serious.
 * In the Tamers Forever Series,  is gifted with immense power, but that same power is slowly and painfully killing him from the inside out.
 * In The Prince of Death Light/Kira becomes the Prince of the Shinigami which means he's been powered up into a Flying Brick Physical God Invincible Hero. However this is balanced out by SEVERE Blessed with Suck: He lives in constant pain, because he's technically dead any wound he sustains will never heal, he needs to kill innocents to survive, and since he shares an empathic connection with the Death Notes if one is destroyed he slips into a Convenient Coma for a week. Also his powers are driving him crazy or more accurately even crazier . ALSO, as a Shinigami he is bound by their rules and naturally L ends up with the leash. Naturally since becoming a Shinigami he now has the Shinigami eyes but Light thinks it would be more useful not to be able to see the lifespan of a Death Note holder.
 * A Naruto/negima crossover Fanfic, "Broken Faith" by Kur 0 Kishi has this in spades. Naruto inherited Kyuubi's core and powers before he came into Negima's era, giving him an extended and merged version of the red Kyuubi Cloak and the golden Kyuubi Chakra Mode from Canon manga with awesome horns and chains to boot, rendering him a literal God on the battlefield. The problem? It literally burns his flesh away every second unless he reinforces his organs liberally with Chakra first, to the point where people start to see his bones if he holds the mode up for anything longer than 5 minutes.
 * Doubled in that using the power accelerates the breaking of the seal that's keeping him weak and stuck in Mahora. Sounds good doesnt it? It isn't, if the seal is released in a way it wasn't meant to ( i.e ; Breaking), both him and the tree go up in an explosion powerful enough to kill Divinity, taking everything in radius along with him at the same time.
 * Axis Powers Hetalia fanfic Mistakes uses the common Fanon that the nations can't be killed by physical means and can recover from apparent "death". This isn't necessarily a good thing when the fic starts with China being effectively gang-raped to death and being thoroughly traumatised on waking (particularly since up until it happened to him he thought rape was unimportant and murder actually fun, since human morality doesn't quite work with immortals), and the Koreas ...
