Depressing Fiction Recommendations

The level of emotional devastation for each work is based on my personal reading experience, so there may be considerable bias. Most feature gender-swapping, with elements of other worlds and real life. Some have happy endings, others tragic ones, and overall they're quite painful to read. Fans of emotionally devastating stories, don't miss these! I highly recommend every one of them, after reading them all during my college years. (>人<;)
