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.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As Renée points out to Danny, even if they find out that she really is his missing daughter (which turns out to be the case), things aren't just going to go back to the way they were before. Taylor has been Renée for years now and is a proud thief, she's not going to just return to being the happy young girl Danny dropped off at summer camp all those years ago at the drop of a hat.

* AdultFear: Danny goes through this throughout the past two years of his life and the first couple arcs of the story. He loses his daughter at summer camp and tries to find her for years, but to no avail. Then she turns up on his doorstep, only for him to learn that she became of the most wanted criminals in New Orleans.

* AngstWhatAngst: InUniverse example. It sets off a small red flag for Renée when she tells Emma - whom she was told was as close to her as a sister growing up - that she has absolutely no memories of her, and she brushes it off as quickly as she tells her.

* EasySexChange: Jess is gender-fluid like in canon and switches between male and female identities at the drop of a hat. According to Renée, it's apparently the longest running prank in history as they love {{troll}}ing their enemies with altering identities.

* ScoundrelCode: Jess gave Renée 30 rules for both how to act on the work and life lessons. [[NoodleIncident She was never sure what rule 10 has to do with anything though...]][[note]]Rule 10 is "Never trust a drunk leprechaun in a tutu to give directions anywhere but to the nearest bar. Even then assume he is lying. Absolutely never trust him with your car keys[[/note]]
