* ''Fanfic/JoffreyFromGameOfThronesIsReplacedWithOctavianFromRome'': Tywin wanted to have a King that continued his legacy and proved to be capable and intelligent. Octavian is that - to the point of doing stuff Tywin disagrees with and standing up to Tywin when he tries to force the issue.

* ''Fanfic/ErasedPotential'': After the League's assault on the USJ [[ForWantOfANail seriously damages U.A.'s reputation]], [[TheChessmaster Nedzu]] decides to deal with the concerned parents of his charges by hiring Midoriya Inko on as a liaison. However, while he ''intended'' for this to be more for show than anything else, he ''severely'' underestimated how seriously Inko would take the job -- as it turns out, she's quite good at it, making clear that she '''will''' see improvements made in how U.A. treats its students, come hell or high water.

* The premise of ''Fanfic/WishCarefully'' is that, instead of taking up the fight, Harry Potter surrendered Wizarding England to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, arranging for everyone else that was loyal to the Light to be evacuated. The Death Eaters now rule England without any opposition or Muggle-blooded taint... with [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome all of the problems that would naturally come with what they wanted]]. Voldermort's England has no genetic diversity to prevent inbreeding defects, no working class, no skilled professionals, and an economic infrastructure that can't support them. On top of that, their leader is a murderous psychopath who starts making Dark Marks burn on people just to stave off his boredom. Lucius Malfoy notes in his journal that the Light's plan was deviously ingenious, because it let the Death Eaters destroy themselves while the Light doesn't have to do anything but sit back and watch.

* ''Fanfic/TheHighRoadMiraculousLadybug'': Deliberatedly invoked by Marinette; her classmates wanted her to get along with Lila, so she did that, and then some by dragging everybody else into making sure all of Lila's whims are catered to. This prompts them into taking everything Lila says with a grain of salt and finding holes in her claims, if only to escape being her servants.

* ''{{Fanfic/TheHighRoad|MiraculousLadybug}}'': Deliberatedly invoked by Marinette; her classmates wanted her to get along with Lila, so she did that, and then some by dragging everybody else into making sure all of Lila's whims are catered to.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoNstX5AIa0 this]] fan video, [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Gloria]] suddenly finds herself faced with a huge [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Zinogre]] that she escapes by distracting it with the fried chicken that she brought for lunch. Sometime later, the Fanged Beast arrives at her door with a Kulu Ya-Ku in its jaws, wanting her to make more.

* In [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/saphroneths-smaller-snippets.947731/page-132#post-96466493 this]] short, well - for context, Worm is a world where ''all'' superpowers are by definition a TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening - and Emma spent a year and a half tormenting Taylor by being a BarbaricBully. Emma realizes - ''after'' Taylor triggers that Taylor now has superpowers and a ''lot'' of good reasons to be mad at her, and that this was the ''logical outcome'' of what she was doing - so well, it '''might''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough have been a bad idea.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Hoo boy. [[spoiler:The assassination attempt on the Good Hunter instead of the Goddess Reborn is an absolute success! Both in [[BackFromTheDead killing him]] [[ResurrectiveImmortality (once, that is)]] and [[UnstoppableRage pissing him off]]. In response, the Good Hunter [[NothingIsScarier rewards the assassin]] [[SarcasmMode handsomely]] for his MomentOfAwesome.]]

* ''Fanfic/ABadWeekAtTheWizengamont'': The fic opens with the Ministry of Magic trying Harry for using magic outside of school while underage as if he were an adult, even though Harry is still a couple years away from the age of majority by the very definition of his crime, so they can silence his claims that Voldemort has returned. Unfortunately for them, treating Harry as an adult in a Magical court of law means Harry is now legally and magically an adult, and he has both the financial resources to go elsewhere and negate his punishment and the shrewdness to ensure that the Ministry pays for what it's done. Within a week, the British Wizarding government becomes the laughingstock of the European Magical Union as Harry goes public on how he was treated, culminating in the Ministry shutting down for several days due to Harry and his godfather Sirius Black suspending their magic from an ancient treaty that allows the government to function at all.

* ''Fanfic/{{Couturiere}}'': One of the reasons Lila kept harassing and framing Marinette for things she hadn't done was so she would be so stressed Hawkmoth would be able to akumatize her. She succeeds when Marinette is turned into the titular Akuma... who not only proceeds to prove her lies to their classmates, but then breaks her arm and leg, tortures her by hurting her [[spoiler:and sews her mouth shut, something that traumatizes Lila so hard she become an ElectiveMute]].

* In the fanfic ''Zootopia: Lone Digger'' (a crossover between the [[WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} film]] and music video for the song by Music/CaravanPalace), a landlord is trying to close down the Lone Digger Club by arranging a brawl between patrons. Instead, he gets the bloody slaughter depicted in the music video.
