* ''Literature/TheSevenPercentSolution'' by Nicholas Meyer is a ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' fic bizarrely combining this with using a historical character as PossessionSue. You see, ''actually'' Franchise/SherlockHolmes was just a delusional junkie. And the one desperately needed there is all-shiny... who? [[spoiler:[[FreudWasRight Dr. Sigmund Freud]]!]] Yes, just like that.

* It's common in fics based on the film version of ''TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' to introduce a female OC, whose purpose is either to facilitate a slash pairing between two of the guys or to hook up herself with whichever of the team the author found most attractive. Or both.

* In TheVampireDiaries, Bonnie seems to exist to be a living AuthorsSavingThrow to keep the show going.
* Stocke in VideoGame/RadiantHistoria is an in-universe example. Inevitable disasters are always narrowly averted, he makes flawless tactical decisions, and makes counterintuitive strategic calls that by all logic should sink his side but always end up being the perfect course of action. Other characters constantly comment on this. Since the player controls Stocke, though, they are well aware that he does this by experiencing the disasters the first time around, and then using the [[TimeTravel White Chronicle]] to go back and use future knowledge to change the outcome.
* In the ''Haruhi Suzumiya'' novels, the character Yasumi appears just in time to save the protagonists from [[spoiler:Fujiwara]]'s plot and reconcile the timeline. There is a very good reason for this: [[spoiler:she's an avatar of Haruhi who was created specifically to do this. Naturally, she has a degree of Haruhi's powers and omniscience]]. After Yasumi's purpose is achieved, she fades into the story's background and no longer interacts with the protagonists.

The Fixer Sue is a unique entity in the MarySue class in that he or she was never meant as a character so much as a plot device. They may or may not represent the author or indulge in the CommonMarySueTraits, but what they do is use their magical plot altering powers to get things "back on track" in the eyes of the author. The plot still elevates the character to unrealistic heights, but instead of it being done for the greater glory of the author, it's to get to a particular end within the canon. Once the character is done fixing all the "problems", he or she will usually get unceremoniously removed (either by death, being PutOnABus, or just getting downgraded to a minor character).

Fixer Sue can be just anything and everything so long as he or she gets the results desired. A VillainSue comes in and ceremoniously kill off the LoveDodecahedron outside of the OTP? Hey, that works. A SympatheticSue {{wangst}}s about how her (non)canon sister is depressed and unloved, inspiring the protagonist to choose her instead? That also works. This is also often done in a tongue-in-cheek manner (for example, a PuritySue shows up and makes the hero realize how much he really hates extremely girly women and goes for the tomboyish childhood friend).

* In many RanmaOneHalf fanfics, Ranma Saotome is made into a FixerSue of sorts. This would make sense since probabilities would become warped and wild things would occur whenever he's around.

** On the other side, the entire length of canon couldn't solve Manga/RanmaOneHalf's LoveDodecahedron, but one mediocre fight with a Fixer Sue collapses the whole thing, quickly and neatly. A great number of fics start off with one of the girls in mortal peril from some new enemy, and it is only after he rescues her that Ranma finally realizes how important she really is to him. Then the majority of the story is actually spent tying off all the romantic loose ends.

Amongst {{fanfiction}} writers, the FixFic is incredibly popular due to everybody having an opinion on how a particular canon should go. Don't like how they took your favorite character and DroppedABridgeOnHim? Nah, HesJustHiding. Your [[OneTruePairing OTP]] got ruined? [[CharacterDerailment Derail a few characters]] to get things on the right track. Wish the villain wasn't such a cad? Maybe he found that there was good in his heart after all. But how are you going to make this happen? This is when you call your local {{fanfiction}} repair business and request they send out a Fixer Sue.

* ''VideoGame/StarFox'' usually has either Falco or Wolf be Fixer Sues in order to "rescue" Fox from Krystal. Strangely enough, another rising example is the [[RetCon ret-conned]] Miyu, a female lynx, from ''Star Fox 2.'' There are at least two fanfics (by the same author, no less) where Miyu "saves" Fox from an abusive-ized Krystal; one of them even has her express belief that, though he's a fox and she's a lynx, they can reproduce and have children, even though they're two entirely different species.

** It's not uncommon in ''RanmaOneHalf'' ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fics for Ranma to have an unknown cousin, brother, uncle or ancestor[[note]]usually on Nodoka's side of the family to avoid Genma having anything cool[[/note]] who suddenly appears and solves all of his problems.
** On the other side, the entire length of canon couldn't solve RanmaOneHalf's Manga/RanmaOneHalf's LoveDodecahedron, but one mediocre fight with a Fixer Sue collapses the whole thing, quickly and neatly. A great number of fics start off with one of the girls in mortal peril from some new enemy, and it is only after he rescues her that Ranma finally realizes how important she really is to him. Then the majority of the story is actually spent tying off all the romantic loose ends.



* There is a certain ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fanfic out there which cranks this trope to the highest level. A woman from the "real world" pretty much descends like an angel from heaven into the Magic Box and proceeds to spend chapter upon chapter spouting off about how wonderful [[DracoInLeatherPants Spike]] is, making him out to be the sweetest, most courageous boy ever and verbally tearing down anyone who stands in the way of this new worldview. [[ShipperOnDeck (And the Spike/Buffy ship.)]] This, of course, means that [[DerailingLoveInterests Riley and Angel]] are [[RonTheDeathEater revealed]] as a [[FantasticRacism speciesist]] sociopath and a vicious, egotistical [[YouKeepUsingThatWord pedophile]], respectively. The Fixer Sue flat out says that she hates Riley and thinks he's boring, but gets a thin guise of "trying to help Angel"... for about three minutes, before listing every way he's terrible. (A majority of these reasons are blown way, way out of proportion or just made up "psychological" analysis.) They are exiled by the "enlightened" Scoobies, who may have ripped them apart with their bare hands if the author had deemed it fitting drama. It gets worse after that.

* [[VideoGame/RadiantHistoria Stocke]] is an in-universe example. Inevitable disasters are always narrowly averted, he makes flawless tactical decisions, and makes counterintuitive strategic calls that by all means should sink his side but always end up being the perfect course of action. Other characters constantly comment on this. Since the player controls Stocke though, they're well aware he does this by experiencing the disasters the first time around, but then uses the [[TimeTravel White Chronicle]] to go back and use future knowledge to change the outcome.
* In the ''Haruhi Suzumiya'' novels, the character Yasumi appears just in time to save the protagonists from [[spoiler:Fujiwara]]'s plot and reconcile the timeline. There is a very good reason for this: [[spoiler:she's an avatar of Haruhi who was created specifically to do this. Naturally, she has a degree of Haruhi's powers and omniscience]]. After Yasumi's purpose is achieved, she fades into the story's background and no longer interacts with the protagonists.
* In the early chapters of ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', Tohru mostly serves as a catalyst for the Sohmas' CharacterDevelopment (being an outsider who encourages them to seek freedom from [[BigBad Akito]]). The second half of the story focuses on her and explores ''why'' she feels so [[ExtremeDoormat invested]] in making others happy. [[spoiler:The reason isn't a good one]].

** This would be done again in [[http://tellygunge.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/dhp-episode-3-slimefall-the-new-bond-girls/ Davina's House Party Episode 3]], where, in a James Bond parody,[[note]]At the time, ''Film/Skyfall'' had been announced, and would be released one year later[[/note]] Stevens threatens to dunk the duo (who are not Fixer Stus this time), only to be attacked by Davina, who gets her messy, and traps her in a vat of custard.

Therefore it wasn't ''really'' homosexuality because Haruka was ''[[DiscountLesbians really]]'' [[DiscountLesbians a boy]]. Cue InternetBackdraft and loss of what little credibility they ever had!

REMOVE BAD FORMATTING.


Amongst {{fanfiction}} writers, the FixFic is incredibly popular due to everybody having an opinion on how a particular canon should go. Don't like how they took your favorite character and DroppedABridgeOnHim? Nah, HesJustHiding. Your [[OneTruePairing OTP]] got ruined? [[CharacterDerailment Derail a few characters]] to get things on the right track. Wish the villain wasn't such a cad? Maybe he found that there was good in his heart after all. But how are you going to make this happen? This is when you call your local {{fanfiction}} repair business and request they send out a FixerSue.

The FixerSue is a unique entity in the MarySue class in that he or she was never meant as a character so much as a plot device. They may or may not represent the author or indulge in the CommonMarySueTraits, but what they do is use their magical plot altering powers to get things "back on track" in the eyes of the author. The plot still elevates the character to unrealistic heights, but instead of it being done for the greater glory of the author, it's to get to a particular end within the canon. Once the character is done fixing all the "problems", he or she will usually get unceremoniously removed (either by death, being PutOnABus, or just getting downgraded to a minor character).

FixerSue can be just anything and everything so long as he or she gets the results desired. A VillainSue comes in and ceremoniously kill off the LoveDodecahedron outside of the {{OTP}}? Hey, that works. A SympatheticSue {{wangst}}s about how her (non)canon sister is depressed and unloved, inspiring the protagonist to choose her instead? That also works. This is also often done in a tongue-in-cheek manner (for example, a PuritySue shows up and makes the hero realize how much he really hates extremely girly women and goes for the tomboyish childhood friend).
