Line 1: '''A Broken Night''' is an AU story by [[Angelinhel]] that takes as its point of departure Daria's break-up with Tom Sloane in [[Is It Fall Yet?]] Daria wanders the streets of Lawndale and encounters Anthony DeMartino, who projects onto Daria his memories of a nurse he knew in Vietnam. Nominated for the 2005 [[The CRAPPIES\|Crappie]] for "Biggest "What the Fuck?" Ending" and almost won "Visual Most Likely to Cause the Reader to Gouge His/Her Eyes Out", though it lost to [[Kara Wild]]'s "[[They Came from Planet Xulfanex]]" in a tie-breaker. ==Plot Summary== Line 14: Her alarm grows when Mr. DeMartino does not take Daria back to her own home, but rather to his own shabby house. Asking to use the phone, Daria discovers it has been disconnected by the growing storm outside. Faking a conversation with her mother, she tries to get Mr. Demartino to take her home. Mr. DeMartino suddenly grabs Daria and kisses her, confessing he has developed romantic feelings for her over the summer while they both worked at [[Timothy O'Neill]]'s [[Okay toTo Cry Corral]] summer day camp. Frightened by his actions, Daria grabs the closest weapon she can find to ward him off, a rusty steak knife. When DeMartino aproaches her again, she stabs him in the shoulder. Seeing Daria's shock at her own actions, DeMartino uses the opportunity to wrestle her to the kitchen floor, restraining her. Having hit her head on the kitchen table during the struggle, Daria is disoriented and begs to be let go. Caught between his memory of the nurse in Vietnam and his own slipping sanity, DeMartino tells Daria he loves her and can't bear to see her suffer. He snaps her neck, killing her instantly, thinking he has saved her from her pain.
