* ''Fanfic/{{Fractured}}'': Samantha Shepard repeatedly experiences this even more than in canon. Being in a crossover universe helps, as [[MileLongShip giant]] [[TheBattlestar ships]] appearing out of nowhere to apparently solve the [[EldritchAbomination Reaper]] [[AlienInvasion problem]] definitely counts as weird.

Unfortunately, [[ObstructiveBureaucrat some things]] go exactly as you'd expect, while others [[HeelFaceTurn surprise]].

[[AC:Unsorted]]
* Mainiac97 of the ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' fanfiction ''The Adventure Through [=RuneScape=]'' certainly qualifies. He is attacked by vampires and powerful monsters on a regular basis, and all of it happens whenever he tries to go mining, questing, completing tutorial island, or does anything mundane.
* Harry in ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', as in the below example, is even more of this than in canon. [[GenreSavvy He even]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]] to Hank [=McCoy=]:
--> The more powerful I get, actually or just potentially - [[TheCallPutMeOnHold and mostly just potentially]] - the more people try and kill me in new and interesting ways. Don't get me wrong, I love having a family and the Avengers. I love being a wizard too. But I could do without the near-death experience every few months.
** It gets even worse in the sequel, with [=McGonagall=] at one point despairingly asking if they could go ''even one term'' without Harry getting involved in some grand scale plot, nightmarish incident, or death-defying adventure. Dumbledore, who is more realistic, replies that it would probably be better to hope for a month. Or perhaps a fortnight.
* Harry in ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'', even more so than in canon (probably because he is much more curious in this version). Some of the girls at the school take the implications a bit too literally.
-->It said something, Hermione Granger thought, and it was something rather sad — as the eight of them strolled back through the maze of twisty little passages that was Hogwarts, their time before the next class having run out without finding any bullies — that she genuinely didn't know whether Harry Potter had been led around by the ghost of Salazar Slytherin or a phoenix or what. And whatever Harry had done, she hoped it didn't work for them. And most of all she hoped that the others didn't vote for Tracey's idea of stunning Harry Potter and carting his unconscious body around with them to attract Adventures. That couldn't possibly work in real life, or, if it did, she was giving up.
** In several other fics Harry stated that if it was unlikely or impossible, chances were that whatever it was would happen to him. Sometimes on multiple occasions.
* The protagonists in ''Fanfic/Swing123AndGarfieldodiesCalvinverse'' attract all kinds of strange stuff. Calvin really enjoys it.

* Fanfic/TheEmiyaClan attracts insanity like has its own gravitational pull. Each kid seems to find some way to get themselves into [[Manga/ToLoveRu interplanetary politics]], [[Manga/RosarioPlusVampire monster academies]], [[Myth/KingArthur stuck in medieval Camelot]], or [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles dumped on the front lines of a war in a parallel world]] to name a few. Whether this is LaserGuidedKarma due to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou]] having so many wives, the result of the family's CosmicPlaything status, or just [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Zelretch]] messing with everybody is up for contention. Most likely, it's a mixture of all three.
* In the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', Shining Armor becomes this in his own StoryArc. So far, he's attracted the attention of an insane GeneralRipper (and SuperSoldier [[spoiler:who turns out to be [[SpacetimeEater an existence eating]] [[HumanoidAbomination Equineoid Abomination]] escaped from [[SealedEvilInACan Pandora's Box]] and now seeks world domination]]) who takes a ''tiny'' offense and [[DisproportionateRetribution tries to murder him for it]] with ''tripods powered by unicorn horns'', been chased by a wolf-like entity trying to {{Retgone}} him, and has to meet with a spy to get intell in a supposed haunted AbandonedHospital built on a convergence of leylines where magically sensitive individuals can supposedly see into other worlds. And that's not taking into account the craziness that is going to happen at the wedding...
-->'''Shining Armor''': (after finding out about the aforementioned meeting with a spy) [[LampshadeHanging ...When did I become a Weirdness Magnet?]]
** It only gets [[SarcasmMode better]], as it eventually turns out that [[spoiler: he's ImmuneToFate, living in SanDimasTime compared to the rest of the series, and is the only one who can circumnavigate said GeneralRipper's [[RealityWarper powers]] and destroy him because of this]]; by the climax, he's shrugging off anything weird that comes his way, and even his squadmates don't let it get to them anymore. For bonus points, at one point he meets [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]], who's also one of these, and they compare notes.
** Even after [[spoiler:Makarov's been [[RetGone erased]]]] Shining is ''still'' one of these. The ''biggest'' example being [[spoiler:he's ''literally'' [[ForWantOfANail the nail between the main timeline and]] [[BadFuture Dark World]]]]. And that [[spoiler:the Interviewers are technically his ''sisters'' (though he never finds that out.)]]
** And now the Wedding happened. Not only did it turn out [[spoiler:Chrysalis is actually a demi-goddess, Cadence's EnemyWithout, and a PeggySue]], the Wedding Arc ends with [[spoiler:Cadence overthrowing Chrysalis, becoming Queen of the Changelings, and thus making Shining Armor the ''King'']]. Also, [[spoiler:they adopted Chrysalis' after she was rebooted into an innocent Zebra Alicorn filly]]. Yep, his life is STILL weird as ever.
** He decides to make sure his honeymoon doesn't happen at any place with a history of weird events or such. [[spoiler:And still ends up unknowingly kidnapped by the Dark World Nightmares to be used in a sacrifice to resurrect Amicitia, sleeps through a gigantic battle, has part of his essence used by the Goddess of Wishes to harmlessly reincarnate as Half-Light Midnight, and is returned to his room where]] he wakes up with a bandage he doesn't remember getting on his stomach.
--> '''Shining Armor''': I think I'm either a victim of a prank, or I got abducted by aliens in my sleep...And I'm not doubting either at this point.
* ''Fanfic/{{Fractured}}'': Samantha Shepard repeatedly experiences this even more than in canon. Being in a crossover universe helps, as [[MileLongShip giant]] [[TheBattlestar ships]] appearing out of nowhere to apparently solve the [[EldritchAbomination Reaper]] [[AlienInvasion problem]] definitely counts as weird. Then, [[spoiler:the Flood]] shows up which may count as InUniverse SerialEscalation in the weirdness department. Unfortunately, [[ObstructiveBureaucrat some things]] go exactly as you'd expect, while others [[HeelFaceTurn surprise]].
* ''Fanfic/StarWarsParanormalitiesTrilogy'': [[TheHero Zolph Vaelor]] has been dealing with weird stuff - especially by ''Franchise/StarWars'' standards -- ever since he joined the Jedi Academy. In the five years between Episode I's prologue and first chapter, he's had to deal with [[Literature/NewJediOrder masochistic, dogmatic aliens with organic technology]] at a few points in time. In the story itself, he's had encounters with an undying soldier, a pseudo-Sith Lord prone to BodyHorror, an eccentric BountyHunter [[FourthWallObserver in touch with the fourth wall]], and an army of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that can possess people and defy the nature of the Force, and that's not even the end of it.

* ''Fanfic/MassFoundations'': In the earlier drafts of ''Mass Foundations: Redemption in the Stars'', Ethan Sunderland, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Courier]], possesses the Wild Wasteland trait, which increases the likelihood of weird scenes, such as an encounter with [[CaptainErsatz Ersatzes]] of [[Film/ANewHope Han Solo and Greedo]].
* ''Fanfic/StarsAbove'': [[Manga/LuckyStar Kagami and Tsukasa]], as {{Barrier Maiden}}s for TheMultiverse, become irresistible targets for [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica the Demons]].
* One ''Literature/HarryPotter'' ficlet pokes fun at this. When two separate but related accidents turn Hermione into a [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord]] and Harry into a [[Series/DoctorWho Tardis]], Hermione steals Harry who simply remarks, "It's because it's Wednesday isn't it? On Tuesday I turned into a magic blue box so on Wednesday my best friend carjacks me."
* ''Fanfic/OfLoveAndBunnies'' lampshades this. Repeatedly. If you are, were, or will be a Ranger, weird stuff ''will'' happen to you. Angel Grove is so used to the insanity that the Rangers bring that the citizens are almost blase about it, and Reefside is quickly following suit.

* ''Fanfic/InsontisII'': [=McCoy=] reflects on the sheer amount of bizarre dilemmas that occur on the ''Enterprise'' after Kirk is almost electrocuted by a wire malfunction.
* ''Sailor Moon: Legends of Lightstorm'': Tokyo is inside a bizarre region of space-time called the Tokyo Anomaly. No one knows where it came from or how it works, but it generates unique conditions that enable the Negaverse to harvest energy from the people of Tokyo, among other things. This is why the Negaverse cannot harvest energy from elsewhere in the universe, or even elsewhere on Earth.
* ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'': Ash Ketchum and co., and time travel has only made it worse, since he now actively seeks it out. Ash's former/future traveling companions, upon seeing his antics on the news, barely note it besides it being a little more "spectacular" than last time, while everyone else who knows about the time travel thing but lack the memory restoration are downright flabbergasted at what he gets up to. [[spoiler:Houndour]] at one point wonders why an Absol (a Pokémon known to appear right before disaster) doesn't follow him around, leading one reviewer to speculate that there's an agreement among all Absol not to follow him, otherwise ''all of them'' would (turns out they just escape whenever they see him).
* In ''Fanfic/BattleFantasiaProject'', [[Anime/SailorMoon Naru Osaka]]'s status as one gets {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Minako, whose birthday gift to her is ''a Death Busters weapon for self defense''. She then demonstrates it when the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Sailor Animamates]] [[VillainsOutShopping show up to have a snack]] and she mistakes it for an attack (they ''were'' planning one, but after finding out how many times she had been attacked they realized she couldn't possibly be a target or she would have awakened as a Sailor Senshi already).

* Ditzy Doo flat out states she's a weirdness magnet in ''[[Fanfic/OversaturatedWorld Sailor Orbital]]'' and backs up her claim with enough [[NoodleIncident Noodle Incidents]] to start a small buffet. It helps that her KidFromTheFuture is there to agree with her.
* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' fic "Bless the Children"- both the [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3070319/1/Bless-the-Children-Gen-Version Gen]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3070316/1/Bless-the-Children-Ship-Version Ship]] versions (the ship version includes Daniel and Sam getting into a relationship)- it is observed that Jack and Daniel are the ones who tend to get the really weird stuff happening to them, with this idea being explicitly acknowledged by Jon, the teenage clone of Jack O'Neill, when he first meets Danny, Daniel's eight-year-old clone (Jon retaining all of Jack's adult knowledge while Danny only remembers what Daniel did when he was Danny's age).

* According to Cologne and [[OriginalCharacter Parvati]] in ''Fanfic/RanmaSaotomeChiMaster'', Jusenkyo has a secondary curse that attracts chaos to the cursed, though usually just in the form of getting hit by water at inopportune times. Ranma somehow got a supercharged version of the secondary curse.
* In the [[Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}} Contractually Obligated Chaos]] series, Lady Delphine describes her foster son Hugo as being more or less this, noting that spirits are drawn to him and he's drawn to them right back. She theorizes that Lydia is something similar.
* ''Fanfic/TheDragonKingsTemple'' shows a Jack O'Neil so jaded by his team's various mishaps that when Sam and Janet don't come back in time, he's ready to consider the possibility of them being abducted by ''Santa Claus''.
** The Gaang proves itself similar when Sokka talks about how they thought Toph and Zuko had been carried away by flying mutant were-lemurs and Suki sheepishly admits it would be more than possible for their group, it would be ''probable''.

* In ''Fanfic/DreamingOfSunshine'', Team 7's C-rank level missions routinely end up A-rank or worse, S-Rank. This why the [[AscendedFanon Mission Desk Ninja]] fear assigning them missions, and [[DrawingStraws Special Jonin do not want to go on patrol with one.]]
* In ''Fanfic/PokemonShadowOfTime'', all of Ash's Pokémon are relatively blasé about finding themselves in an altered version of the past as they're aware that their trainer gets into interesting situations.
* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', being an alien apparently isn't weird enough for Izuku. He gets attacked by the Sludge Villain while walking home from school, subsequently meeting All Might in the process. After this, his quest to find his spaceship pits him against an army of robots inside of Mt. Fuji. Then he's taken hostage by [[spoiler:a legendary MadScientist in the body of an albino gorilla]]. He doesn't even have time to make breakfast on his second day at U.A. without running into [[GreatGazoo Mister Mxyzptlk]].

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13633428/3/Falling-Stars Falling Stars]]'' has Benjamin Sisko bemoaning Deep Space Nine's canonical insane regular hijinks right as they're about to fall into ''yet'' another one:
-->"''One'' day. I would simply like one day where we are not under attack, being infiltrated by Dominion spies, accidentally activating Cardassian purging systems, or, apparently, rewriting human history."
* ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeries'': In "Relics of Demons Past", when the group is discussing how they don't know what new evil is coming or how to deal with it, Jade suggests just waiting, given that that kind of stuff tends to find ''them'' most of the time. Alchemy admits that she has a point.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its sequel ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'', Samantha Shepard repeatedly experiences this [[UpToEleven even more]] than in canon. Being in a crossover universe helps, as [[MileLongShip giant]] [[TheBattlestar ships]] appearing out of nowhere to apparently solve the [[EldritchAbomination Reaper]] [[AlienInvasion problem]] definitely counts as weird. Then, [[spoiler:the Flood]] shows up which may count as InUniverse SerialEscalation in the weirdness department. Unfortunately, [[ObstructiveBureaucrat some things]] go exactly as you'd expect, while others [[HeelFaceTurn surprise]].
* In ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsParanormalitiesTrilogy Star Wars: Paranormalities]]'', [[TheHero Zolph Vaelor]] has been dealing with weird stuff - especially by Franchise/StarWars standards - ever since he joined the Jedi Academy.

* In the earlier drafts of [[Fanfic/MassFoundations Mass Foundations: Redemption in the Stars]], Ethan Sunderland, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Courier]], possesses the Wild Wasteland trait, which increases the likelihood of weird scenes, such as an encounter with [[CaptainErsatz Ersatzes]] of [[Film/ANewHope Han Solo and Greedo]].

* The ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' Fanfic ''Fanfic/OfLoveAndBunnies'' lampshades this. Repeatedly. If you are, were, or will be a Ranger, weird stuff ''will'' happen to you. Angel Grove is so used to the insanity that the Rangers bring that the citizens are almost blase about it, and Reefside is quickly following suit.
