SailorEarth, ObviousCrossoverMethod, FukuFic, CoffeeShopAUFic, and TheShipsMotor are subtropes. Compare CommonCrossover, TheStationsOfTheCanon, and StockParodyJokes. See also FanficFuel, which tends to produce the second flavor of these fandom-specific plots.

** ''[[FandomSpecificPlot/RanmaOneHalf Ranma ½]]''

** [[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.]]

** 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.]]

** "Calvin grows up" is a common enough genre to have had its tropes [[http://chainsawsuit.com/comic/2014/09/10/tracer-bullet-marries-stupendous-man/ parodied]] in the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Chainsawsuit}}.''

** "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 millenium. The first of these was ''FanFic/TheDornianHeresy'', with ''Fanfic/TheRoboutianHeresy'' and ''Fanfic/TheImperialHeresy'' following shortly after.

** Many a FixFic is built around Orpheus and Eurydice reuniting in some way. Some simply have Orpheus not turn around at the end, or run with the idea of the story being retold by having the characters be aware of and break the endless loops, allowing them to be happy. Post-canon Hades/Persephone reconciliation fics tend to include Hades bending the rules so Orpheus and Eurydice can reunite, while others have them reunite after Orpheus dies like in some versions of the myth.myth.
** Eurydice picking up where Orpheus left off post-canon and campaigning for better treatment for the workers is a popular fanfic topic, with some having her lead a resistance against Hades while others have her working with him and Persephone to bring change.

** ''FandomSpecificPlot/MoralOrel''

** ''FandomSpecificPlot/YinYangYo''

** ''FandomSpecificPlot/CaseClosed''

* One of the more popular subjects for {{WMG}}s in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' is "What happens when the GodEmperor dies?". Theories range from hopeful (now [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence no longer tied to the physical realm]], He can finally confront, and defeat, the Ruinous Powers on their own turf) to even worse than 40K already is (the Emperor provides the sole means of semi-reliable FTL transit; without Him, planets are completely cut off from each other, even in the same system) to completely changing the setting (the Emperor was very much an atheist in life, and likely will not appreciate the "God" part of GodEmperor). The latter partially came true when Primarch Roboute Guilliman was revived and had a massive HeroicBSOD at what had happened to the Imperium, and has taken (admittedly small) steps to rectify that.

** The ''Batman'' fandom has Catlad: in which [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]] is taken in by ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} and becomes her apprentice under the name Catlad or, more often, Stray. As a rule, Catlad!Tim is always written as bisexual or gay and much flirtier than his possibly asexual canon counterpart. It's obvious {{Fanservice}}, of course.
** You can find a lot of age reversal fics, where Damian is the eldest and Dick is the youngest.
** Tim Drake is frequently subjected to two fandom specific whump plots; if he's ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}} or younger turning his parents' neglect and his father's emotional abuse into something far worse and having the Waynes save him from them is popular, while tales set post-''ComicBook/RedRobin'' tend to have his newly missing spleen lead to him getting sick.

** ''FandomSpecificPlot/MarvelCinematicUniverse''

** ''FandomSpecificPlot/XenobladeChronicles3''

* ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' fanfics frequently included or focused on OriginalCharacters, usually Toa, but sometimes Matoran or Makuta (after it was revealed there was more than one). Stories focusing solely on these would often be set on an original island the writer made up, or one of the places mentioned but never visited in canon (especially once the canon map of the Matoran Universe was released). The expansion of ElementalPowers beyond the original 6 also led to Toa with these powers (like [[MagnetismManipulation Magnetism]], [[GreenThumb Plant Life]], or [[MakeSomeNoise Sonics]], to name a few), and many characters had invented [[MaskOfPower mask powers]] too.

** There is ''a lot'' of fanon surrounding Wally, especially in fanfics. His father being horribly abusive, (which ''does'' have ''some'' basis in canon but not to the UpToEleven qualities in fanworks), is common.

* ''Webcomic/TwoKinds'' has an overwhelming amount of stories about the author's ([[AlwaysMale inevitably male]]) OC getting [[TrappedInAnotherWorld Isekaied]] into Mekkan (usually a military man going through a [[{{Teleportation}} teleporter]]), meeting an escaped [[BeastMan keidran]] slave girl based on the author's favorite large predator who falls in love with him, and fighting the [[MagicKnight Templars]] with the gun he had in his back pocket when he got bamfed. Interacting with the canon events after meeting our expies of Trace and Flora are optional. You can expect BlackMagic to be largely ignored, despite it being a central part of the comic's story, and they will also probably meet a [[OurOrcsAreDifferent basitin]] (and an Eastern one at that) despite them being rare outside of their homelands.

** 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/RenewYourVows''...
