After a work goes through a [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome reality check]], it hardly ever stays there. After all, this is fiction. If there's magic in the world, you know a [[AWizardDidIt wizard will eventually do something]] to get things back to where the work belongs. Fantasy All Along is the way a work gets back to its story in a way that is consistent with the content of the work before reality ensued. If something started realistically and then turned to fantasy, then it may be AllJustADream. If done poorly, this can become an AssPull. Beware the return to fantasy.

* Spock dies on ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' because, well, he walked into a reactor with no protection whatsoever as a HeroicSacrifice (and SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome because, final speech aside, it wasn't a pretty death--he had radiation burns and had been blinded)... and then came Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock where we discover that he used a variation of the Vulcan Mind Meld as a memory back-up and his resurrected body is on the '''"Genesis(!?)"''' Device-created planet.

Added DiffLines:

* The first novel in Kai Meyer's ''Literature/DieAlchimistin'' series starts realistically, with Christopher getting adopted by a strange but seemingly non-supernatural family that lives in an eerie but overall mundane house. The plot seems to be setting up for a historical thriller or whodunit... until the grass that grants immortality is brought up and revealed to be real.

* In the Eddie Murphy movie ''Film/TheGoldenChild'', one of the heroes is an acrobatic young woman who has a midriff-baring outfit and does some standard SheFu throughout the movie. The villain simply shoots her in the gut during the final showdown with a crossbow, and she dies pretty anticlimactically. She didn't do THAT good a job at dodging or because SheFu is not suited to use against the BigBad. Good thing that the titular 'Golden Child' is capable of healing people... which he does when the last battle is finished.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Sting," [[IdiotHero Fry]] meets the kind of senseless death suffered by all of Farnsworth's [[RedShirt previous crews]] up to this point and proceeds to [[UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode stay dead for the duration of the story]], with the expected DeathIsCheap solutions [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] at every turn, until [[spoiler:the whole thing turns out to be a [[AdventuresInComaland coma dream]] experienced by a badly injured Leela, who wakes up with Fry alive and well at her bedside.]]
