I don't know if this would count as angst, but here's my nomination:

Title: Pretty Hate Machine
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7113042/1/Pretty_Hate_Machine
Author: AeonFrodo
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/867109/AeonFrodo
Rated T
Summary: One devastating event sets off Ulrich on a dangerous path to self-destruction. Can his friends help him before it's too late?
Chapter: Any/All
I'm nominating this because it one of the most well-written stories I've seen in a while. It's a story that really has you on the edge of your seat and you in suspense as the story progresses.

Here's mine:

Title: Stone's Throw Away
Author: SeeMeInTheShadows
Rated: K+
Summary: They're all on the verge of madness.
Reason for nomination: Slight copy-paste of what I said in my review for this story - it captures the tone of a subdued and melancholy day perfectly, but with a really uplifting hopeful ending. I like how it paints the friendship between the LWs and how it implicitly suggests how the fight against XANA has affected them all.

Story Title: Project Zaia

Rating: T
Summary: 1 year after XANA's demise and the gang shuts down the supercomputer, Franz Hopper's mysterious past launches a war for the future of Lyoko. With the French government involved, no one is safe. Serialized drama.

Reason For Nomination: This story was a fantastic read, and I really like this interpretation of the backstory. It falls under suspense and drama, I believe. This story ranks pretty high on my list of favs.

Summary: It was lonely at the top... Aelita had heard that before but never really understood what that meant until now. OxAxJ
Chapter (if applicable): oneshot
Reason For Nomination: This is a really sad angsty story. It really sums up the jobs that Jeremie and Aelita have on Lyoko, and the effects the others have. It shows how hard their job is, and how much relies on them.

Title: Resentment (one-shot)
Author: AeonFrodo
Rating: K+
Summary: There's no words to describe my horrible life. But there are some people that deserve the blame, some more than others.
Reason: I can't believe I've never read this before, but there I was, browsing the angst genre, and I found this. It's a tad depressing, but at the same time, this could almost be canon. You can imagine William feeling this way, because why wouldn't he? In the end, he really did get the short end of the stick. It was very realistic. The way Aeon told this was also great. It wasn't heavy on description, but honestly, that was what the story needed. It was matter-of-fact without getting too heavy on the description. And even though it was matter-of-fact, it wasn't shoving all the facts in your face...Aeon was just giving us a story untold. The nicest part was that it is also one of the lightest angsts I've ever read. Resentment isn't about death or near-fatal injuries, but it is about the metaphorical loss of a life, in that William had very little control of his life. I really liked that.
