Line 84:
A trope-breaking version of this appears in "[[It Slipped Through My Hands, Like a Shadow, Like a Dream]]," in which Amy eventually becomes overwhelmed dealing with a mentally retarded Daria who has received little love and affection from her parents or sister.
===Flawed Amy===
This one was traditionally a reaction to Amy's fandom sainthood: deliberately pointing to her flaws, or creating new ones, to create an Amy that could be less saintly or even an outright bitch. Longer fics that have done this include "[[It Slipped Through My Hands, Like a Shadow, Like a Dream]]" by [[TAG]] and the [[Running Wild]] series. Shorter ones include "[http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=547815#p547815 I Don't, Honest]" by JoeMerl, Amy's debut scene done with everyone talking honestly about their motives and thoughts.
===Amy of the Undefined Job===
