* In the hockey RPF fandom there's the concept of 'goalie nesting', in which a goaltender can suddenly go feral, hoard hockey equipment, and become either more aggressive or more affectionate toward his teammates (or rather a specific teammate, in the latter case).

* Numerous ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' fics revolve around older interpretations of the characters. Most are {{Dark Fic}}s or {{Deconstruction Fic}}s about a depressed teenage Charlie Brown going through high school. The "unauthorized parody" play ''Theatre/DogSeesGod'' is the most well-known example.

* In the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' fandom, more than a few pre-G4 fanworks (usually G1 material) revolve around WingedUnicorn characters. Until G4 introduced some, there weren't any canon ones outside of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales''. Thus many [=OCs=] were secretly winged unicorns hiding as more common types of pony.

** "Alternate Heresy" is a genre of ForWantOfANail fanfic that changes which of the Emperor's eighteen sons rebelled, and which remained loyal, and how that shapes the "modern" setting of the 41st millennium. The first of these was ''FanFic/TheDornianHeresy'', with ''Fanfic/TheRoboutianHeresy'' and ''Fanfic/TheImperialHeresy'' following shortly after.

* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' has Rorschach being sent to the [[FishOutOfTemporalWater future]] or an Alternate Universe. On some of those occasions, he (reluctantly) [[WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC teams up with]] ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}.
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' FixFic (usually involving either Peter or Mary Jane fighting off Mephisto in an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny).
** Fics where MJ, Gwen, or someone else gets powers (usually spider-related). Of course, then we got AscendedFanon like ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland'', ''ComicBook/SpiderGwen'', and ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManRenewYourVows''...
** With [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan both]] [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan versions]] of Peter Parker now dead, there's naturally a lot of this floating about. In Ultimate's case, these mostly consist of Peter returning to life and taking the name Ben Reilly, since his replacement, Miles Morales, is almost universally loved. And in the case of 616, beating the crap out [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Otto Octavius]]]], who is a more controversial replacement Spider-Man. [[spoiler:That said, it may die down now the case of the classic Marvel universe since Peter's back.]]
** [[spoiler:Same with Ultimate. Peter's back (it's hinted he and Osborn are resistant to death, thanks to the OZ serum). After a freak-out and fight with Morales (namely to get his dad's webshooters back), Peter and Miles team up to beat the reborn Goblin. With Miles curb-stomping the Goblin, Peter gives Miles his blessings and says he will [[WanderingTheEarth wander the Earth]]... though more accurately, he ended up more-or-less eloping with MJ.]]
** UltimateUniverse-style retellings of the series.
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' has a lot of GenerationXerox stories and fanart, with the Titans' own children growing up to be Titans themselves. The characters typically included are [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} Damian Wayne]], [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Lian Harper]], [[ComicBook/TheFlash Iris West]], Milagro Reyes (ComicBook/BlueBeetle Jaime Reyes's little sister; a RunningGag is that her life's ambition is to become a Comicbook/GreenLantern), and sometimes Mar'i Grayson/Nightstar, ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} and ComicBook/{{Starfire}}'s daughter in the ''Comicbook/KingdomCome'' reality who is not (yet?) born in the main one.
* For ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'', you can find a million stories/comics where an adult hero discovers that Billy Batson is a [[KidHero prepubescent]] HomelessHero and takes him in. The most popular seems to be Franchise/{{Batman}}, due to a combination of a.) contrasting personalities, b.) Billy fitting the black-hair/blue-eyes pattern of the other Robins, and c.) his last name ''literally being [[StealthPun Bat-Son]].''
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':

* ''Franchise/TheFlash'':

** If there's a fan-story about a late teens/early twenties Wally having to overcome insecurities chances are the climax (or an event a little before the climax) will take from his epic beat down of [[spoiler:Brainiac-ified Lex Luthor]] in the Franchise/JusticeLeague cartoon by having him [[spoiler:running around the world multiple times in the matter of nanoseconds]] to beat the villain, only to overuse his energy and [[spoiler:fall into the Speed Force leading to his supporting cast having to reach in and pull him out.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' has a lot of stories where baby Kal-El is found and adopted by another family, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and her cousin make it to Earth together, or Kara survives the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
* The ''ComicBook/New52'' reboot has many fans trying to find a way to go back to the old continuity. Fics range from it being a hallucination caused by a villain to Donna Troy refusing to be erased from existence again and returning to dismantle the universe. DC ''themselves'' have attempted something of a fix themselves with the transition to [[Comicbook/DCRebirth Rebirth]] - among other things, bringing back the original Superman (married to Lois Lane and all) as well as the red-headed Wally West.
