* ''Fanfic/HeroicsAndOtherThingsThatDontRequireSuperpowers'' deconstructs the Fanon arc of Bakugou Katsuki becoming a villain when [[HeroWithAnFInGood his violent obnoxiousness becomes too much for the Heroes to stand]] (ex. ''Fanfic/{{Cain}}'') by showing that he was also too violently obnoxious [[EvenEvilHasStandards for the League of Villains to stand]], [[spoiler:with All For One [[Off8ngTheAnnoyance eventually]] deciding to steal Bakugou's Quirk and leave him for dead.]]

** Colette Bevier

*** Also of the SpoiledBrat, ProudBeauty, and SerialHomewrecker. She's used to getting her own way and being adored by boys for her beauty (to the point she can easily steal other girls' boyfriends), but the very concept of a boy who has no interest in her makes her go ballistic as it's a serious blow to her ego. She becomes obsessed with stealing Danny from Star for being the first guy to reject her, and her growing fixation only deepens his hatred for her and makes everyone realize how deeply disturbed she is.

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded''

*** Also of the SpoiledBrat, AttentionWhore, ProudBeauty, and SerialHomewrecker. She's used to getting her own way and being adored by boys for her beauty (to the point she can easily steal other girls' boyfriends), but the very concept of a boy who has no interest in her makes her go ballistic as it's a serious blow to her ego. She becomes obsessed with stealing Danny from Star for being the first guy to reject her, and her growing fixation only deepens his hatred for her and makes everyone realize how deeply disturbed she is.
*** Of the AbhorrentAdmirer, StalkerWithACrush, {{Yandere}}, GreenEyedMonster, EntitledBastard, ManipulativeBastard, EvilIsPetty, and TheUnfettered. Her obsessive need for attention and beating Star causes her to fixate on stealing her boyfriend Danny because his Undying Loyalty toward Star makes him completely immune to Colette's charms, which isn't helped by the fact her utter lack of scruples only earns her and fuels his endless hatred towards her since she's fine with hurting him and others to get what she wants. Everybody else gets so disturbed by her unhealthy obsession that Team Phantom tries to get a restraining order against her, the A-Listers are seriously considering kicking her out especially since they don't want to get involved in her schemes to steal Danny anymore, and her overindulging parents contemplate seeking professional help for her like therapy or boarding school.

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'':
** Colette Bevier is a deconstruction of the AlphaBitch. Her arrogance and conceited nature are the results of a dangerously narcissistic mindset that drives her to endanger and injure others to get what she wants. In a reversal of the usual trope, she hits on the main protagonist, but she treats him less as of a person she ought to care for and more as an object she must possess. Her attitude gets so bad that even her father and stepmother get sick of her vain and wasteful ways.

* ''Fanfic/MyDeepestDarkestSecret'': Solon deconstructs the BlackSheep role. Him getting [[AloofBigBrother ignored]] and sometimes even [[BigBrotherBully teased]] by his brothers because of his mistrust of Sooha is seen in a negative light, when it's shown how badly it affects him. The mistreatment is clearly affecting his mental state, as Solon [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex constantly feels inferior compared to his brothers]], almost to the point of depression and being self-destructive, as Solon does '''anything''' to prove that he's equal to them; one being joining Nightball despite not really liking it, and he ''very'' terrified of them discovering that he's half-werewolf because [[FurAgainstFang they loathe werewolves]]. It also made Solon feel unworthy of love, as he is a cripplingly InsecureLoveInterest to Enzy [[OneTrueLove (despite the two being the werewolf equivalent of soulmates)]] which got worse when the BigBad made him feel worthless by telling him that everyone in his life only wanted him as nothing more than a cash grab [[spoiler:and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] him]].

** Granny Hina's status as a CoolOldLady is gradually broken down when the full scope of her actions gets revealed. While in canon she's treated as a ParentalSubstitute who opened the Hinata Inn to troubled girls who needed a place to be unburdened by their problems, it's shown that by allowing them to do as they please she exacerbated their negative traits since they were never taught any consequences for their actions. Furthermore, she abdicated her role as manager of the inn to selfishly go on a world tour in order to set Keitaro up to fall in love with Naru, his "promise girl," without telling him she converted the inn into an all-girls dormitory or the real reason for her actions. As a result, she ends up looking like a ManipulativeBitch willing to prioritize the happiness of a abusive brat over the health and safety of her own grandchild. She only makes things worse for herself by her ongoing refusal to admit she's done more harm than good for the Hinata Inn girls, even as most of them leave because they realize how toxic the environment is or are taken away when their actions bite them in the ass.
** Shinobu's role as the TokenGoodTeammate is scathingly torn apart by Keitaro, Nanami, and Kanako. Even if she was the only one who never abused or attacked Keitaro, Shinobu still did little to actually speak up in his defense whenever Naru and Motoko attacked him for being "perverted," which was just as bad as the outright physical abuse and manipulation he suffered from the aforementioned two as well as Su, Kitsune, and Sarah. Keitaro tells Shinobu he can't be around her anymore because of the frequent accusations, while Nanami and Kanako both believe Shinobu's a curse on him. Her role later gets reconstructed when Shinobu's the first to fully accept her role as an AccompliceByInaction, owning up to her guilt and then making an earnest attempt to help Keitaro as he wants to be helped.

* ''Fanfic/ASecondChance'':
** Leni's traits are deconstructed by pushing these to its logical conclusion. Her stupidity makes the [[LethallyStupid problems worse]], compensating her lack of malice as shown when she unintentionally started the flu-zombie apocalypse in the house, and her [[SickeninglySweet constant niceness]] pushes most characters away rather than lift their spirits up, and she is always used as a pawn by Lori. Rather than the charming ditz who is appreciated for her nice nature, she is actually shown to be an annoying and dangerous DumbBlonde that most charactes has disdain for.
** Lola's SpoiledBrat attitude is amped up here but is deconstructed as the story goes on. Her vile personality, HairTriggerTemper, and unflinching NeverMyFault attitude sour her relationship with her entire family, to the point that even Lincoln starts doubting if she's redeemable, and drive her further into [[EvilMentor Kathleen's clutches]].

** ''Devil's Retribution'' has Byro take apart PrinciplesZealot and UndyingLoyalty. He is absolutely devoted to the church of Zentopia and it's cause, having great faith in their leaders judgement, and is willing to give up his life if that ensures their missions success. The problem is that he expects this same level of devotion from his allies as well, being surprised when they object to being put in the cross-fire from one of his attacks and is willing to treat them as enemies for merely attempting to ''negotiate'' with their adversaries and question their given orders. The members of Fairy Tail also point out his willingness [[TheNeedsOfTheMany to make hard decisions]] just means he is unwilling to consider alternatives that don't involve bloodshed (with Dante in particular pointing out that sacrificing other without their consent is functionally murder) and that his dismissal of emotions is really just a way to avoid feeling guilt. What's more is that his absolute belief in his leaders judgement means that he ignores blatant evidence that they may not be as benevolent as they appear, and only escalates the confrontation when Fairy Tail offer to talk things out. Overall his dedication to such principles make him a [[HolierThanThou self-righteous,]] inflexible, {{Hypocrite}} unable (or just unwilling) to acknowledge the flaws in his attitude and cause.

* ''Fanfic/RealityCheckMHA'' deconstructs the archetype of the underdog protagonist. Having been labeled a "villain" for most of his life due to his brainwashing quirk, Shinsou has decided he wants to be a hero to prove everyone wrong. To do this, he had to prove himself against other hero candidates to make it into the Hero Course, and he succeeded by doing things his own way--training under the mentor who believed in him and using the very trait that got him labeled a villain. All of this is standard underdog fair. However, even though Shinsou overcame his disadvantages and achieved his goal in his own way, he's left with the emotional baggage of a life that constantly reinforced in his mind that the world is against him, his peers are his antagonists and his rivals, his only ally is his mentor, and getting into the Hero Course is proof he's hero material, while his rivals succeeded with, he assumes, far less disadvantages, and thus didn't prove themselves like he did. As he believes he's proven himself more than anyone else in the class, he insists that the parts of the curriculum he isn't good at are simply skewed to favor his unfairly privileged rivals. [[spoiler:This eventually leads to Shinsou failing out of the Hero Course, as he neither cooperates in group projects nor puts enough effort into doing the work demanded]]. In the end it's made clear Shinsou made his hero academia entirely about self-validation; [[spoiler:upon self-reflection, he doesn't even know if he actually wants the job.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': Interactions with Danny's dates deconstruct Dash's role of TheBully, JerkJock and a FutureLoser from the series. Dash Baxter has no aspiration for a life after high school, not even considering to use his skills in football to make something of himself. He's openly rude and disrespectful to people he considers beneath him, while expecting others to line up for him. Finally, he thinks himself important because of his self-designated role of "king of Casper High". As a result, Danny's dates, including people connected to them who meet him, see him as a pathetic jerk. Eventually, he becomes treated the same way people like these in real life are treated, with little to no respect. Clover rejects him for not even considering a life after he graduates, Kara threatens to expose his bullying to the public if Casper High continues to turn a blind eye and he ends up getting into trouble that ends up undermining attempts to make something of himself.

** Misty Smith-Yang is a deconstruction of the MageBornOfMuggles, being the first member of the Yang clan in ages to develop magic. While under most circumstances she'd be the protagonist of her own story, she's unwittingly a villain in Danny's. Unlike other characters of this trope, including its [[TropeCodifier Codifier]] [[Characters/HarryPotterHermioneJeanGranger Hermione Granger]], Misty keeps her powers a secret from her entire family, has no friends or support group to fall back on, no mentor or instructor to go to for advice and lessons or even friendly fellow magic users to commiserate with, an inability to make proper connections with others, and an extremely impulsive mindset. Misty is essentially would happen if a normal girl with a less than stellar life, limited ability to socialize, and a lack of impulse control developed magic: someone who irresponsibly relies on magical shortcuts to improve her lot, no matter how many times they backslide and lead to disaster, and is consistently manipulated into aiding others' malevolent agendas.

* ''Fanfic/ResurrectedMemories'': Paulina is this of the AlphaBitch and Spoiled Brat by showing how unlikable a domineering and entitled harpy like her would be. Danny wants nothing to do with her to the point he wants her out of his life just to get some peace from her stalker-ish behavior; she made a dangerous enemy of Ember McLain by bullying her; Star turns on her after being pushed too far by her, she gets into a lot of trouble with her parents who ground her for drinking alcohol, she's suspended from school for a month for bringing alcohol to school, and her parents have to bribe the school into not expelling her, and by the end of the story, all of Casper High gets so sick of her callous and self-centered behavior that they pelt her with fruit at prom and partake in Ember's humiliation of Paulina at Nasty Burger by making her do all kinds of degrading punishments.
** Paulina is also one of the Fangirl because her Celeb Crush on Danny has completely stopped being endearing and grew into an unhealthy obsession that just makes her come off as creepy and irritating to everyone to the point Danny is desperate to get her out of his life just to get some peace and quiet.

* Uxie in ''Fanfic/PokeWars'': is a deconstruction of TheSpock. Being the personification of logic, he shows that acting on solely logic without emotion can lead to ''utterly sociopathic'' acts.
