* The ''Series/DoctorWho''/''Series/{{Smallville}}'' crossover "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5381560/1/The-Clinton-Street-Car-Crash The Clinton Street Car Crash]]" features the Tenth Doctor arriving in Metropolis and realising that someone has been tampering with Clark Kent's timeline to retard his development into becoming Superman. He eventually determines that [[spoiler:the party responsible is General Zod, who has been posing as the Jor-El A.I. in Clark's Fortress, who changed history by preventing a car crash that killed Chloe Sullivan as a child, starting a chain of events that led to Lex Luthor coming to Smallville (Zod hoped that Lex's influence would corrupt Clark, but settles for Clark's development as Superman being retarded). In the end, the only way to end Zod's influence on Clark's timeline is for the Doctor to take Clark and Chloe back to the moment of the original divergence, where Chloe deliberately causes the titular car crash to [[TemporalSuicide kill her own past self]] and restore the original timeline]].

* ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'': Future Bunnyx ''believes'' that she's [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong setting the timelines straight]] with her meddling. In reality, she's meant to take a hands-off approach, only intervening to trim off dead branches and doomed timelines. Sadly, she's so [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] that she presumes ''any'' deviation from the reality she knows is problematic, no matter how minor, and that all other timelines are {{Expendable Alternate Universe}}s. Among the myriad issues she's caused with this closed-minded mentality is [[NiceJobBreakingItHero contributing to Marinette's breakdown]] by [[TheScapegoat blaming her for every]] problem that arose, real or imagined, and dragging her into the BadFuture to face Chat Blanc and her own future counterpart's dead body, leaving her heavily traumatized.

* ''Fanfic/WeightOffYourShoulder'': Future Alix takes the attitude that ''her'' timeline is the only one that matters, and seeks to "correct" Marinette's mistake of passing the Ladybug Earrings on to a successor. Never mind how said successor has already brought down Shadow Moth, averting horrors like [[spoiler:his stealing the Miracle Box, melting down all the Miraculouses inside and enslaving the Kwamis as Monarch]]. No, the only thing she cares about is ensuring that [[ItsallAboutMe she gets to become Bunnyx eventually]], without caring one whit about all the suffering that's been prevented.

** Eventually, it's revealed that it goes even further than that: as Bunnyx, she's been manipulating the very same timestream [[{{Hypocrite}} she claims to be "protecting" and "preserving"]], all for the sake of [[ShipperWithAnAgenda forcing Marinette and Adrien together]], as she's convinced they'll make the "ultimate power couple". This puts her LackOfEmpathy for the villains' victims and everyone else's suffering in a whole new light.

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''Fanfic/TheNecromancer'': After Sauron arrives in Storeybrooke, he sets out to reclaim the One Ring so that he can go back and rebuild his empire, which will erase the modern world (Middle-Earth being the past of Earth rather than another world as they initially believed).
* ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku:''
** In "Hope Carried 1,000 Years", an assassin from the 31st century traveled back in time with a Kryptonite bullet, intent on assassinating Izuku before he becomes [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Superman.]] Luckily, the would-be assassin is foiled by the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes. The side-story also implies that so many people have gone back in time to kill Izuku before he becomes his FutureBadass-self that the Legion has its members watch his younger self in ''shifts'' to prevent these attempts from succeeding.
** "Time and Chance (1): How the old Ice-Cream Parlor will Change" shows that this wasn't even the first attempt on Izuku's life. Brainiac assimilated a two-bit Villain named Koujou Joubu (also from the 31st century) as a proxy to deal with Izuku when he was five years old and vulnerable.
* ''Fanfic/OfQuirksAndMagic'': Izuku does this unintentionally when the League of Villains attacks Kamar-Taj. He uses the Eye of Agamotto in hopes of going back in time and stealing back the Book of Caligostro from Kurogiri, but he nearly gets sucked into the Timeless Aether and allows Ikiji to escape instead. He's immediately regretful for this and promises to never use it again.

[[AC:''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/ArrowRebirth'': This is the main plot for the second story, ''The Age of Heroes''. [[spoiler:The Council of Time Masters covet their ability to manipulate the timeline so much that after Oliver Queens's foiling of the Undertaking renders the timeline they chose not only unfeasible but also completely redundant in favor of a better one, they try to correct it by having the Ninth Circle kill all the people who originally died in the Undertaking to get the original timeline they chose back]].

[[AC:''Series/DoctorWho'']]
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9824830/1/The-Battle-of-Actium The Battle of Actium]]'' has the Trickster try to hypnotize Mark Anthony and alter the title battle to prolong the Roman civil wars.
* ''Fanfic/TheRoadToShalka'' has a villain whose main motivation is to retroactively turn a PleasurePlanet into a grimdark industrial powerhouse. The Doctor notes this ''will'' result in a small-scale TimeCrash, though, if not fixed.

[[AC:''Franchise/FinalFantasy'']]
* ''Fanfic/MementoVivere'': After winding up stranded in the past and joining Braska, Auron and Jecht on their Guardian pilgrimage, Rikku recognizes that she's running the risk of inadvertently doing this through her presence alone.

[[AC:''Literature/GoodOmens'']]
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21155153/chapters/50350343 Underlined Twice]]'': Gabriel, unhappy with Armageddon having been thwarted, uses the Archangels' combined power to send back a note to his past self that he needs to raise the Antichrist himself and prevent Crowley from Falling to make sure that Armageddon happens as planned. Crowley and Aziraphale barely avoid being {{Retgone}}d out of existence by the new timeline and they have to team up with their alternate timeline selves to thwart Armageddon again, with the added complication that going through too many time loops to fix it will result in a TimeCrash.

[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/129187/chapters/189618 The Western Sky -- Series 1]]'': Ginny uses a ritual requiring the death of twelve innocent people to go back in time and kill Sally-Anne Perks and her mother, then spends the following month giving instructions to her past self. Why? So she ends up [[StalkerWithACrush married to Harry Potter]], of course...

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'']]
* ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'': Drago comes back in time from some unspecified point in the future in order to eliminate Jade and other potential threats to his own rule in the future.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'': Future Bunnyx ''believes'' that she's [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong setting the timelines straight]] with her meddling. In reality, she's meant to take a hands-off approach, only intervening to trim off dead branches and doomed timelines. Sadly, she's so [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] that she presumes ''any'' devation from the reality she knows is problematic, no matter how minor, and that all other timelines are {{Expendable Alternate Universe}}s. Among the myriad issues she's caused with this closed-minded mentality is [[NiceJobBreakingItHero contributing to Marinette's breakdown]] by [[TheScapegoat blaming her for every]] problem that arose, real or imagined, and dragging her into the BadFuture to face Chat Blanc and her own future counterpart's dead body, leaving her heavily traumatized.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/489758/great-minds-think-alike Great Minds Think Alike]]'': Parodied. A large collection of villains from Twilight's future travel back to the past to kill her before she can stop them, all happening to arrive on the eve of the first anniversary of her coronation. However, since they're all working independently and [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou each wants to be THE person who offs Twilight]], they quickly dissolve into petty infighting rather than doing anything before [[spoiler:getting rounded up by Twilight's future self. Future Twilight made all her villains think there was something special about her anniversary so any of them attempting this trope would all arrive at the same time, interfere with each other, and be able to be dealt with in one swoop]].
* ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'':
** [[spoiler:Nightmare Eclipse/Paradox]]'s plan is to have each [[BadFuture Dark World]] time loop end with Twilight [[spoiler:going Nightmare and becoming her]] to perpetuate the GroundhogDayLoop. If any other outcome occurs, including Twilight saving the world without doing that, Paradox herself interferes in such a way to ''force'' Twilight to, even if the end result would've been a good outcome or actually SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong and prevent Discord's reign. This is especially notable because her original motivation was to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, but she allowed herself to [[spoiler:be consumed by vengeance for Discord, [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget forgetting why she started in the first place]]]].
** In the Shining Armor Arc, it eventually turns out that [[spoiler: the [[TheEmpire Hooviet Empire]] was supposed to have imploded decades ago, but [[BigBad General-Admiral Makarov]] -- in actuality a [[RealityWarper reality bending]] imagination demon called the Shadow of Chernobull --]] influenced and manipulated events to prevent that, thus having the ripple effect of making the world a much darker place than it would be without his influence. It thus becomes the goal of Shining Armor and the [[LaResistance Anti-Hooviet Rebels]] to RetGone him from existence.
