These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

** The basic concept of the fic is that without the experiences that brought them together in canon, including Sayaka's death, Makoto and Kyoko's personalities are simply too different for them to be romantically compatible. By the time Kyoko realizes her feelings for Makoto, he's already moved on and hooked up with Sayaka.
** Graduating from Hope's Peak is a significant advantage for students, but they still have to take- and thus study for- entrance exams, as Makoto and Kyoko do in Act III.
** While Sayaka is a talented IdolSinger, she can't stay popular forever. Eventually, the public gets sick of her after the novelty of her being the Ultimate Pop Sensation fades, and her career ends within a few years of her graduating high school.

''Cat's In The Cradle'' is a ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' fic by Theralion.
The fic is a look at how Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiri's relationship would have progressed if the Tragedy had never happened, starting with their admission to Hope's Peak and concluding year's after they graduated.
The fic is relatively short, at roughly 4,000 words, and is divided into four acts. It has been completed, and can be found on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13826189/1/Cat-s-In-The-Cradle Fanfiction.net]] or [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29648082/chapters/72892923 AO3]].
!The fic contains examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: Sayaka is forced to quit as an IdolSinger, but she and Makoto get married. Kyoko doesn't get together with the guy she likes, but accepts Makoto and Sayaka's relationship and tries to be happy for them.
* BookEnds: The fic begins with the chorus of the first half of the song of the same name, and ends with the chorus from the second half.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Kyoko ultimately loses Makoto to Sayaka.
* FirstNameBasis: The first indication of Makoto and Sayaka being in a relationship is when Makoto, who usually calls Sayaka "Maizono-san," calls her "Sayaka." At the wedding, Sayaka and Kyoko start calling each other "Kyoko-san" and "Sayaka-san."
* ForWantOfANail: The fic shows that without the Tragedy and killing game, [[FireForgedFriends and everything they went through together]], Makoto and Kyoko would likely not have have become as close as in canon.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Kyoko gracefully accepts Makoto and Sayaka's relationship and stays friends with the couple.
* LoveTriangle: Type 4. Kyoko loves Makoto, but Makoto and Sayaka love each other.
* MeaningfulEcho: At the start of the fic, when Kyoko asks why Makoto's willing to share so much about himself with someone he's just met, Makoto asks, "Why wouldn't I?", before expressing the hope that he and Kyoko can be friends. At the end, Sayaka asks if she can stay in touch with Kyoko, if Kyoko would like, and Kyoko says, "Why wouldn't I?"
* ParentalTitleCharacterization: Sayaka notices that Kyoko calls Jin by his title of "headmaster," never "Dad" or even "Father." Kyoko says that this is because they don't have much of a relationship.

* SchoolFestival: In Act II, Makoto invites Kyoko to attend Hope's Peak's school festival with him, but she declines, since she has an investigation to do for her father.
* ShoutOut: The entire fic is one to "The Cat's In The Cradle" by Music/HarryChapin. The song is even namedropped late in Act II.
* ThemeNaming: Every chapter is titled after a verse from the Harry Chapin song.
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: Implied. In the first half, Makoto is the one who initiates interactions with Kyoko, but in the second half, Kyoko initiates her interactions with Makoto. This implies that Makoto might have been interested in Kyoko at first, but by the time she developed feelings for him, Sayaka had already won his heart.
* WeddingsInJapan: In the final scene, Makoto and Sayaka have a Western-style wedding.
* WhamLine: Early in Act IV, Makoto drops one to Kyoko, revealing that his relationship with Sayaka has changed.
-->'''Makoto''': Well, your guess was half-right, because I'm not the one who's troubled- [[FirstNameBasis Sayaka]] is.
* YoureNotMyFather: Kyoko intends on coming to Hope's Peak to cut her father Jin out of her life, but never can bring herself to do so.
