* ''Fanfic/CodePrime'', especially ''R1'', spends most of its latter acts having either Lelouch, Optimus Prime, Starscream, and ''Megatron'' calling out Suzaku Kururugi's motives, from him killing his own father to working with Britannia to change to system, and even to his true motivations as a DeathSeeker. ''R2'' is when the story stops becoming this with Suzaku essentially having developed in a much nicer way.

** ''[[Fanfic/MissingMiraculousLadybug Missing]]'' has Marinette go missing after Ladybug is hit by an akuma that makes its victims disappear, unintentionally wiping away the superheroine's SecretIdentity. In her absence, those who knew her come to realize just how much they took her presence for granted, with those who betrayed her trust getting hit the hardest by [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone guilt and grief]].
** ''[[Fanfic/RecklessnessMiraculousLadybug Recklessness]]'', a RecursiveFanfiction for ''[[Fanfic/TheLamentSeriesChaoticNeutral The Lament Series]]'', focuses on Alya's [[FatalFlaw tendency to]] [[KnowNothingKnowItAll assume she knows what's best]] and force Marinette into uncomfortable situations, betraying her trust. Here, she takes her betrayal to a whole new level by deciding to steal the Earrings and Ring in order to make a [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy reality-rewriting Wish]]... [[MundaneUtility just to learn Hawkmoth's]] SecretIdentity. She blatantly dismisses Marinette's concerns about misusing such massive power, JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope by [[LackOfEmpathy not even caring]] when she [[spoiler:gets Marinette killed]]... and suffers LaserGuidedKarma in the new reality, as [[ExactWords the Wish is granted by]] [[spoiler:making ''her'' Hawkmoth]].
** ''[[Fanfic/TheWolvesInTheWoodsMiraculousLadybug The Wolves in the Woods]]'' paints Miss Bustier as a hopeless enabler who allows bullies to rule her class while punishing their victims. Under her tutelage, Alya and the majority of her students become self-declared {{Bully Hunter}}s who drive Marinette out of Francoise Dupont entirely, then brag about their successes to others, threatening to do the same to them if they don't do as they please. Most of the class are also depicted as {{Entitled Bastard}}s who expect both Marinette and Lila to bend over backwards to cater to their every whim, [[AllTakeAndNoGive offering nothing in return]] but scorn if they don't do as demanded.

Here, however, Yusho is repeatedly called out for not even bothering to say goodbye to his family first, asking Reiji to keep an eye on things in his absence, or tell ''anyone'' what was going on. It gets to the point that Yvonne, Ruri and ''Zarc'' all tell him that he's made very stupid decisions.
** Reiji is also held accountable for how he'd told Yusho about everything, but never really cared about Yuya unless it benefitted his plans in some fashion. Yusei tells Reiji that he's [[LikeFatherLikeSon just like his dear old dad]].

This culminates in a furious confrontation where she takes them to task for their neglect before running away.

Her villainy extends to [[spoiler:invoking negative consequences by making the public believe ponies had died in the invasion to discredit Celestia's authority]].

Keeping Adrien in the dark about his dad being Hawk Moth, treating him like an AssholeVictim to the things going on, is also putting him on the extremely fast track to [[PersonOfMassDestruction becoming Cat Blanc]]. In the end, the only person who seems to benefit from her actions is Hawk Moth). Word of the author is that this latter part of the plot came when they felt Marinette becoming more abhorrent while Adrien became more pitiful as the canon series went on.

*** The whole concept of a "Symbol of Peace" is regularly torn apart in terms of practicality and logistics long before any of the canon issues that came from it could occur. In addition to highlighting how, by making himself into the symbol, Toshinori unintentionally gave the public unrealistic expectations of him and made any potential successor likely to be viewed as a SketchySuccessor, his means of trying to have Izumi initially be his replacement just put a lot of pressure of her shoulders, made worse by her already fragile mental state. Even after he realized the latter though, his attempts at trying to make the students ready for his inevitable retirement, while well-intentioned, were beyond feasible, and just put a lot of pressure on ''students'' before they should even have to worry about that. Everyone who finds out about this such as Durandal, [[spoiler:Kaina]], and [[spoiler:Shota]], while understanding of Toshinori's reasoning, can all agree the idea of having any ''one'' person try to take his place is doomed to fail regardless of who they are, since they ''won't'' be another "All Might".

** ''Fanfic/MyHeroAcademiaMechanicalGreen'': {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While the fic has the tag "Sasaki Mirai | Sir Nighteye Bashing", the matter itself is properly dealt with early into the fic. Namely, Mirai is taken to task for his canon motivations and behavior regarding One For All and, after getting both TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and a punch to the face from Toshinori and the threat of [[CripplingCastration castration]] from [[MamaBear Inko]], he ends up mellowing out and becomes one of many mentors to Izumi.

*** {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but the canon reasoning for the students being involved in the Paranormal Liberation War, that the HPSC effectively instituted a draft and forced them to participate despite being ''students'', is torn apart in the backstory for the Avalon War. Namely that they did something similar there, only it resulted in a ''lot'' of students dying, and it was pointed out that HPSC neglected using the much more experienced and fitting Japanese Special Defense Force for a literal ''war'' in favor of using Heroes they controlled, said actions being just one of the ''many'' nails in the HPSC's coffin and subsequent loss of power.
*** Chapter 67 of the redux partly serves as a callout of the entire "Plus Ultra" mentality in canon, by demonstrating how Toshinori's revised plan for the joint training camp just ended up exhausting and infuriating the students while damaging their trust in the staff. Kaina in particular lampoons the mindset by pointing out how, while trying to "go beyond" one's limits is important, those limits exist for a ''reason'' and need ''time'' to move past them, and trying to charge past them at breakneck pace will just cause ''you'' to break first, which is what happened to Izuku in canon as he tried to gain control over One For All and just kept breaking himself repeatedly.

** ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'', the prequel to ''Blossoming Trail'', has Lillie furious at Gladion for essentially keeping her in the dark about what happened on the night Nihilego appeared, and withholding Type: Null's role in all of this, meaning that Gladion is the reason why Lillie's fear of Pokémon lingered longer than it should. However, Lillie is also given reality checks that for all Gladio did wrong, she's not clean either. Dulse plainly points out this DoubleStandard with one question -- if Lillie had this trauma for so long, ''why didn't she tell Lusamine sooner''?

* ''Fanfic/AMothersTouch'' has Yoko viscerally and verbally ripping apart Reiji Akaba and Sylvio Sawatari for their actions in the first part of ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV''. For Reiji, she questions why he doesn't just ''ask'' Yuya for his Pendulum Cards instead of this convoluted, idiotic, asshole of a plot that involves requesting Sylvio to steal his cards and put children in danger for the sake of two stupid cards. And that's not adding how Sylvio whines and complained about Yuya (actually Yuto) attacking Yuya when he was that much of a moron to not notice that the Yuya who dueled him used Xyz; an archetype ''Yuya doesn't know at that point''. Then, Yoko asks why Reiji tries to force Shuzo, principal of You Show and not ''her'' the co-owner of it, to buy a school for such a flimsy excuse just to take Yuya's cards and not pay any royalties for it.

* The ''Franchise/RanmaOneHalf'' and ''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' story ''Fanfic/TheWildHorseThesis'' plays this straight as an arrow with both Ranma and Evangelion...
** With the Ranma cast, Ranma uses the fact he's trapped in another world to casually tell people about several things he's been unable to say to the face of the various people controlling his life, with characters like Ryoga and Tatewaki Kuno getting the harshest treatment.
** With Evangelion, Ranma beats up Gendo as therapy, refuses to go through the entire song and dance routine to stop one of the angels and tears Asuka a new one for her excessive superiority complex. And manages to woo both Asuka ''and'' Rei, while helping them both with their own issues.
