** Jafar is far more vile here than in the movie: some of his guards had their tongue removed so they couldn't blab about his secrets, imprisons a couple of small kids for ''two years'' inside a damp dungeon just because they associated with Aladdin a couple times, and his lust for Jasmine is way more prominent.
** Due the movies and series being family friendly works, Aladdin and Jasmine never do anything riskier than simply sharing a kiss. Their relationship here is ''way'' more physical and intimate than in canon (though they're never seen having sex onscreen).

This or 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, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); 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

There is also a one-shot, "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13958126/1/Wild-Card Wild Card]]", that WordOfGod confirms can be seen as a sequel or epilogue to ''Queen'' or just serve as a stand-alone, featuring an alternate "reunion" between Cassim and Aladdin.
