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.

''The Black Flower'' is a Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction, involving Lila as the Ladybug holder, Felix as the Cat holder and Marinette as their constant victim.
After Lila arrived at her school, Marinette starts to lead a miserable life, being bullied by her classmates, victimized by the hero Coccinella and constantly harassed by her partner Chat Noir. After a bad confrontation with Alya, Marinette is akumatized and killed. From there, Marinette finds out that despite what she thought, there are people willing to help her.
It can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37880047/chapters/94591849 here]].
----
!!This fic provides example of:
* AccompliceByInaction: Adrien and Nino are considered as such during Lila's bullying campaign towards Marinette.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Downplayed in every possible case. Lila and Felix are the main heroes of Paris, but while they are willing to save the day, it's only because it will benefit them and they are absolutely despicable outside (and inside) the suit.
** Played straight for Adrien, who became a hero not to escape his life but because he actually wanted to protect Paris.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Gabriel is definitely more pragmatic and scheming than his canon counterpart.
* AdaptationalSympathy: Audrey is portrayed in a much more sympathetic light than her canon counterpart. In fact, [[spoiler:Audrey was raped back in New York and it left her impregnated of Zoé, thus her apparent mistreatment of her being born of fear of her raper]].
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** Lila tops her canon counterpart for being willing to kill an akumatized Marinette to keep her secrets safe and also for her own personal amusement.
** On the same note, Felix goes from an annoying opportunist to a sexual harasser.
** Marinette, Rose, Juleka, Chloé, Sabrina and [[spoiler:Zoé]] work for Gabriel mostly out of spite for the heroes, even though they also agree that they need to be stopped. They're also far darker than their canon counterpart, being more prominent with Marinette, Rose and Juleka.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In their few instances together, Gabriel and Nooroo are shown to not have a master-slave dynamic and the Kwami is actually willingly working with him.
** Chloé and Sabrina are of the same caliber, showing that they are actually genuinely friends with one another.
* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted for most, played straight for Miss Bustier. That's the main reason she gets fired.
* AlphaBitch: Lila to the class. In the flashback chapter, it's said that Chloé was one as well.
* AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler:Black Tigress]] delivers one to Chat Noir in the form of kicking his balls.
--> '''[[spoiler:Black Tigress]]''': This is for what you did to Marinette! This is for what you did to [[spoiler:Sabrina]]! This is for what you did to [[spoiler:Rose]]! This is for what you did to all the girls you harassed! And this?is because I hate you!
* AttentionWhore: Lila saves Paris only because it attracts attention on her. [[spoiler:This later turns on her as Risk makes her reveal herselves to her classmates, leading to Vesperia figuring out where the Miracle Box is and confirming that Lila is indeed Coccinella]].
* BerserkButton: Chat Noir is one for Marinette. In fact, as Princess Justice, her main goal once he shows up is to bash his head rather than hitting him with her truth-revealing powers.
* BetterOffWithTheBadGuys: Marinette and her friends decide that it's better to help Gabriel take down the holders than to wait for them to get defeated and risk additional harassment.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Hawk Moth arrives to fight Chat Noir so that Black Tigress can go save some civilians from a crumbling building. Mayura also arrives to help Hawk Moth and will pull a HeroicSacrifice]].
* BlatantLies: The protagonists see Lila's lies as such. [[spoiler:Zoé]] is appaled by how their classmates actually believed them so readily.

* ChekhovsGun: During the fight with [[spoiler:the Dearest Family]], Coccinella angrily mentions to Purple Tigress that Princess Justice threw her in a trash can. At the end of the fic, when Juleka tells Marinette, [[spoiler:it leads to her realizing that Lila is Coccinella]].

* ThrowTheDogABone: The entire premise of the fic involves this by giving Marinette a chance to strike back against her abusers.
* TooDumbToLive: A policeman charged the girls for assaulting a group of thugs not caring that he charged the mayor's, Jagged Stone's and his superior's daughters with no investigation whatsoever.

----
!!This fic provides example of:
* AccompliceByInaction: Adrien and Nino are considered as such during Lila's bullying campaign towards Marinette.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Downplayed in every possible case. Lila and Felix are the main heroes of Paris, but while they are willing to save the day, it's only because it will benefit them and they are absolutely despicable outside (and inside) the suit.
** Played straight for Adrien, who became a hero not to escape his life but because he actually wanted to protect Paris.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Gabriel is definitely more pragmatic and scheming than his canon counterpart.
* AdaptationalSympathy: Audrey is portrayed in a much more sympathetic light than her canon counterpart. In fact, [[spoiler:Audrey was raped back in New York and it left her impregnated of Zoé, thus her apparent mistreatment of her being born of fear of her raper]].
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** Lila tops her canon counterpart for being willing to kill an akumatized Marinette to keep her secrets safe and also for her own personal amusement.
** On the same note, Felix goes from an annoying opportunist to a sexual harasser.
** Marinette, Rose, Juleka, Chloé, Sabrina and [[spoiler:Zoé]] work for Gabriel mostly out of spite for the heroes, even though they also agree that they need to be stopped. They're also far darker than their canon counterpart, being more prominent with Marinette, Rose and Juleka.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In their few instances together, Gabriel and Nooroo are shown to not have a master-slave dynamic and the Kwami is actually willingly working with him.
** Chloé and Sabrina are of the same caliber, showing that they are actually genuinely friends with one another.
* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted for most, played straight for Miss Bustier. That's the main reason she gets fired.
* AlphaBitch: Lila to the class. In the flashback chapter, it's said that Chloé was one as well.
* AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler:Black Tigress]] delivers one to Chat Noir in the form of kicking his balls.
--> '''[[spoiler:Black Tigress]]''': This is for what you did to Marinette! This is for what you did to [[spoiler:Sabrina]]! This is for what you did to [[spoiler:Rose]]! This is for what you did to all the girls you harassed! And this?is because I hate you!
* AttentionWhore: Lila saves Paris only because it attracts attention on her. [[spoiler:This later turns on her as Risk makes her reveal herselves to her classmates, leading to Vesperia figuring out where the Miracle Box is and confirming that Lila is indeed Coccinella]].
* BerserkButton: Chat Noir is one for Marinette. In fact, as Princess Justice, her main goal once he shows up is to bash his head rather than hitting him with her truth-revealing powers.
* BetterOffWithTheBadGuys: Marinette and her friends decide that it's better to help Gabriel take down the holders than to wait for them to get defeated and risk additional harassment.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Hawk Moth arrives to fight Chat Noir so that Black Tigress can go save some civilians from a crumbling building. Mayura also arrives to help Hawk Moth and will pull a HeroicSacrifice]].
