He acted alone, convinced his success would force his superiors to accept a job well done, but Princess Luna is not only against the plan per se, she is also furious that he was so careless as to be found out. He doesn't say the actual phrase, but falls to the floor and moans [[OhMyGods "Mare in the Moon!"]] which prompts Luna to chastize him further for taking her name in vain when she is standing ''right there''.
* Twilight has a few of these as she copes with the fallout from ''[[Fanfic/EakinsHardReset Hard Reset]]''. Especially given how she started treating ponies (herself included) during the GroundhogDayLoop.
* According to ''FanFic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'', this was Smart Cookie's reaction when she realized that the plans she helped Puddinghead draw up for colonizing a new homeland would mean effectively leaving the other tribes to slow death by starvation and hypothermia.
* ''[[Fanfic/AFutureOfFriendshipAHistoryOfHate A Future of Friendship, A History of Hate]]'': Rarity has this reaction in Episode 4 when she realizes that she's been blowing off her friends without a thought in order to spend time with [[LoveInterest Regal Rule]], most prominent being that she [[spoiler: completely forgot about Fluttershy's birthday]].
* ''FanFic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': In the aftermath of the fight with the Changelings in Gallopfrey, Applejack nearly slips into a HeroicBSOD over the realization that she had to [[TheseHandsHaveKilled kill for the first time]] during said fight. Fortunately, a few reassuring words from [[RetiredBadass Granny Smith]] are able to pull her out of it.
* Spitfire has this reaction in the Blog/ReadingRainbowverse when she realizes how horrible she's been to her daughter.
[[AC: ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'']]
* Sakura has one in ''Legacy of the Rasengan: Naruto'' after Naruto [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rips]] [[WhatTheHellHero her apart for stealing his tin of personally created jutsu.]] Actually a DelayedReaction when cerain facts hit her. In order: A)Naruto spent '''YEARS''' creating his jutsu for '''HIMSELF'''. B)She stole from him. C)The reason they have ''Uzumaki Family Scroll'' on them is because Naruto is an orphan and wanted to pass on ''something'' to his kids.
* ''A Mother's Love: Fire and Blood'': The Third Hokage for pretty much screwing Kushina and Naruto over (The Third made it so their lives would be miserable) and letting them get kicked out of the village. The village has one years later when they admit that kicking out them out was a dick move on their part since [[TheDreaded ''The fox in the desert'']] might return for revenge.
[[AC:''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* This shows up in two different ways in the ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' post-Third Impact fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5334678/1 Scar Tissue]]:
** Asuka, who has been physically and sexually brutalizing Shinji for months, has minor moments of this whenever her temper finally abates, then has a ''massive'' moment of this coupled with VillainousBreakdown when [[spoiler:she finally beats Shinji badly enough to nearly kill him]]. The fic starts after this moment; when it's not filling in backstory, it's detailing her attempts to atone for her actions.
** Shinji, on the other hand, blames '''himself''' for everything Asuka has done to him, seeing his actions during the canon story (especially the hospital scene in EoE) as so unforgivable that he can justify her abuse as karmic retribution.
* ''FanFic/{{The Second Try}}'': Shinji and Asuka are at a lake with Asuka swimming in it. Trying to get Shinji to swim (he admits he can't) she pretends to drown, making him panic and jump in to save her. She takes a look at his face and realizes that she scared him shitless and, for a brief instant, [[NightmareFuel made him think he was going to watch her die and be the last human alive in a post-Third Impact world.]]
[[AC:''SherlockHolmes'']]
* In ''Fanfic/AStudyInRegret'', SherlockHolmes invokes this several times -- sometimes word-for-word -- in regards to Watson, Mary, and Marcel. The [[TearJerker heartbreaking part]] is that, half the time, he's taking blame for events that are not his fault.
** Speaking of Holmes, he also very nearly invokes it when speaking with InspectorLestrade in ''[[Fanfic/DeliverUsFromEvilSeries Mortality]]'': “I’m sorry. Dear God, I’m so sorry.”
** The authors of both works give us Holmes with this attitude ''again'' in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'', during and after his HeelRealization.
[[AC:''SonicTheHedgehog'']]
* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5353458/1/Blast_to_the_Past Blast to the Past]]'' Princess Elise managed to prevent the Metarex from changing the past, (without Eggman, they'd have no competition, and most likely none of the events of the Sonic games would have never happened) but latter finds out - much to her shock and disgust - [[spoiler: that ''she'' was the one caused the events that [[SonicUnderground started it all,]]]] something that was just as bad when [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic was killed because of "That damned demon within her."]]]] Silver and Blaze managed to convince her that Sonic played an important factor in everyone's lives, [[spoiler: [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3272287/1/Sweet_Dreams almost the same way that Eilse convinced him.]]]]
----
* Katara has one of these in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4252182/1/The_Chong_Sheng_Trilogy_Peace The Chong Sheng Trilogy]]'', after [[spoiler: going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge when Jet is tortured and murdered in cold blood right in front of her. She uses said cold blood to literally rip apart anyone wearing Fire Nation armor, even the ones surrendering or running for their lives. It results in a HeroicBSOD that nearly [[DrivenToSuicide drives her to suicide]].]]
[[AC:''AxisPowersHetalia'']]
* In the doujinshi ''Besame Mucho'', Spain gets one of these (quoting the trope name included) when standing in front of a destroyed house in a village his army just slaugtered. He is passing by when he sees a dead child's arm peeking out of a pile of wreck, and it makes him remember about Romano. Something was in my eye when he says that they just killed people, who were the same as him or little Romano. His companion's answer? "You are wrong. You are not human.". TearJerker, indeed.
* Also in an ''Axis Powers Hetalia'' fic, this is lampshaded by an authoress in the notes of the first chapter of her intense FACE bondage-dominance foursome. Repeat, the /first/ chapter.
* In yet another AxisPowersHetalia fanfiction ''Let me be Your Savior'' Romano/Lovino has one after stumbling across his brother (Italy/Feliciano) [[spoiler: after Romano/Lovino had violently raped him]] crying, and it finally hits him that what he's been doing is wrong. This scene is a nice breakthrough, seeing as Romano/Lovino had seemed to cross MoralEventHorizon before.
[[AC: {{Bleach}}]]
* ''A Protector's Pride'' has Yamamoto himself go through a subtle version of this while waxing philosophical as he realizes that his playing ObstructiveBureaucrat and [[DudeWheresMyRespect treating Ichigo like a child]] has led to Ichigo only tolerating the Gotei 13 while they have been giving him reasons to outright hate Soul Society and watch it burn.
[[AC: CrossOver]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'', Jade has a reaction like this when she severely wounds Kitten during their battle in the Tournament of Villainesses (to be fair, not only was Kitten really rude to Jade when she was SEVERELY outclassed AND offered a chance to surrender, Jade, due to her previous encounters with the Titans, etc., expected her to be MadeOfIron). Of course, the other villains think her reaction means something else.
* In ''FanFic/TheCriesOfHaruhiSuzumiya'',[[spoiler: Kyon after he kills Haruhi.]]
* [[spoiler: Fluttershy]] has this reaction in chapter 10 of ''[[{{FanFic/AceCombatEquestriaChronicles}} Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]''. She saved Cloud Kicker's life, but believes her actions partially led to[[spoiler: Razor's death]]. She utters the actual quote (without the "My God" part) and until her friends comfort her later on, along with [[spoiler: Princess Celestia stating that Razor died in the explosion caused by [[WaveMotionGun The Burning Talon]]'s overheating]], she is reduced to [[HeroicBSOD crying]] [[TheseHandsHaveKilled and blaming herself]].
* ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'': [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix]] says this almost word-for-word towards the end of the first day of the trial [[spoiler:after [[ShootTheDog casting suspicion on Fluttershy of murder to buy more time to investigate]]]]. Others are not shy on pulling some WhatTheHellHero on him as well.
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''[[Fanfic/MyLittlePonyVs My Little Pony Vs...]]'' features the Mane Cast [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny forced into fights to the death]] against [[IntercontinuityCrossover various characters from other media]]. Rarity and Fluttershy both have this reaction after defeating [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Toph Bei Fong]] and [[Literature/TheHungerGames Katniss Everdeen]] respectively.
** Twilight has a mild one after killing a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]], if only because she had previously thought it was an robot instead of a living creature.
** Rainbow Dash has one when she realises that her Buccaneer Blaze tore [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] [[NauseaFuel to shreds]] - she had been ready to kill in self defence, but she hadn't meant to be quite so brutal.
** Pinkie Pie has one after beating [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Taokaka]], as the two had gotten on well up until Discord showed up with a horribly inaccurate video of her battle with [[Anime/ElfenLied Lucy]].
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'']]
* In the ''FanFic/TamersForeverSeries'', when [[spoiler: Chaos]] first emerges, but ''before'' Takato realizes he's a separate entity. From his perspective, he destroyed a significant part of the Internet just by having his BerserkButton pressed. You'd be a bit scared of yourself too.
** This is also Takato's reaction when he [[spoiler: uses the Omnivice to remove the pain from Azulongmon's ''Wind Electricity'' technique, only to find out that he'd transferred the pain to Rika, Henry, Renamon and Terriermon. His horror, frustration and grief combine to send him over the edge, unleashing the power of [=ChaosGallantmon=]]].
[[AC:''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'']]
* In ''FanFic/TheNewRetcons'', after Elly snaps out of her insanity and is confronted by the doctors with what happened to her and what she did to others, she's horrified at her actions, particularly when she reads the letters she wrote while insane, and realizes how much Connie enabled her.
[[AC:''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
* In ''The Day He Was Pushed Too Far'' Dumbledore, in order to avoid legal repercussions, let a copy of Harry "die" and gave Harry a new identity after Harry shot Umbridge and then himself fifth year. Harry said "What have I done?" shortly after coming across Neville, who was dealing poorly with the "loss" of the only person who cared about him, trying to kill ''himself''.
* In ''Lily's Changes'' Voldemort said this almost word for word after eleven-year-old Harry, having future knowledge, convinced him to absorb the soul fragments in two of his Horcruxes, regaining his sanity.
[[AC: ''KingdomHearts'']]
* Sora in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8762400/1/ Broken Heroes]] has this reaction twice: [[spoiler: When Ventus dies and he realizes how much of a JerkAss he has been to him]], which causes his character 180, and when [[spoiler: he agrees to become Xemnas's slave (Implied to be SexSlave) to keep Riku, Kairi, and his other friends safe,]] which spurs him into [[spoiler: [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8762400/36/ adopting the identity of Roxas.]]]]
[[AC:''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'']]
* During the final few chapters of ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn'', [[spoiler:[[EvilDiva Cyros]] has this reaction when she nearly kills her father figure and mentor Kage while in her SuperpoweredEvilSide. This also allows Pyrus to reveal ''his'' side of her StartOfDarkness, making her have this reaction yet again when she realizes her grudge on him was based on a complete misunderstanding on her part. [[TheAtoner This drives her to nearly make a]] HeroicSacrifice to {{Invoke|dTrope}} this trope with her mother [[BigBad Deadlock]]. Deadlock has a VillainousBSOD when she sees her 21 year long vandetta nearly cost her the one thing that means the most to her in the entire world, her adopted children, leading to her HeelFaceTurn.]]
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4625774/1/The_bLegend_b_of_bSpyro_b_bNew_b_bFrontier_b The Legend of Spyro: New Frontier]] has one from Cynder after [[spoiler: she almost kills Spyro]], even quoting the trope name (minus "My God").
[[AC:''Franchise/MassEffect'']]
* The Quarian admiralty board has one in the second book of the ''{{Fanfic/Uplifted}}'' series, when they discover the Nazi concentration camps.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/66500/maternal-instinct Maternal Instinct]], in a fit of unbridled rage, [[spoiler: Queen Chrysalis]] exploded in a vicious tirade against her [[spoiler:heavily mentally and physically disabled daughter and heir, Princess Pupa]] and proceeded to beat her. ''Savagely''. But when [[spoiler:Chrysalis]] came to her senses and saw her daughter on the floor, barely conscious and with blooding oozing out from wounds on her crown and temple, the aghast and repentant [[spoiler:Queen]] immediately threw herself at [[spoiler:her daughter]]'s mangled form, kissing her face and trying to stop the bleeding, mentally crying, [[spoiler:''‘Kami above, forgive me! Please, forgive me!’'']]
* ''[[http://aleximusprime.deviantart.com/art/quot-After-the-Gala-quot-255397965 After The Gala]]'' shows this as [[spoiler:Fluttershy's reaction to her [[BewareTheNiceOnes explosive display of anger]] at the Gala. She's outright horrified by what she did and left a sobbing wreck. Her friends console her, though, and manage to get her out of her HeroicBSOD both by their forgiveness and Celestia revealing everyone was okay and it wasn't entirely her fault (the animals were rather wild to begin with and Celestia apologises for not warning her beforehand).]]
* ''FanFic/InnerDemons'': Twilight is horrified when she [[spoiler: accidentally [[TakenForGranite petrifies]] Princess Celestia in a fit of rage about the prophecy]]... at least until she's consumed by her [[EnemyWithin "Queen of Darkness" persona]] and goes from regretting it to [[IgnoredEpiphany bragging about it]].
** Shining Armor also has this reaction when he realizes that [[spoiler: the "Cadence" he slept with was actually [[BrotherSisterIncest Queen!Twilight in disguise]]]].
** Apple Bloom's reaction to [[spoiler: accidentally killing [[TheDragon Trixie]]]].
* ''FanFic/PastSins'': Celestia has several lines of this during Luna's WhatTheHellHero speech.
-->"I do not need to be told the heinous nature of my actions!"
** Subverted, however, because the author doesn't portray her as being entirely in the wrong for taking said actions. For those not familiar with the story, Celestia has been forced to separate a young filly from her adoptive mother -''hopefully'' temporarily- in order to perform a complex diagnostic spell on her, acting against her better judgement but on the advice of an expert in the dangerous form of magic that the filly in question had been touched by. This would have been [[DirtyBusiness unpleasant]] but [[IDidWhatIHadToDo justifiable]], save for the fact that Celestia did not find out that the person giving her that expert advice was [[ManipulativeBastard being economical with the truth to further his own agenda]] until the shit hit the fan.
* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' has several examples:
** Rarity's reaction to yelling at Sweetie Belle and nearly hitting Sweetie Belle with a sharp circlet, coming close enough to cut a few hairs in her mane, in a fit of rage.
-->'''Rarity''': "Reality came down on top of me like Luna's moon fallen from orbit. What had I done? WHAT HAD I DONE-?!"
** [[spoiler: Fluttercruel's reaction when her attempt to teach Fluttershy about the crueler side of nature [[BreakTheCutie corrupted instead of helping her]].]]
** [[spoiler: The denizens of [[VideoGame/StoryOfTheBlanks Sunny Town]] have this reaction whenever Applejack's LivingLieDetector gaze forces them to remember their misdeed through Princess Gaia's spell.]]
** Rainbow Dash's reaction to how her dealing with Discord's SadisticChoice turned out.
** Celestia had two in "[[{{Prequel}} Origins]]": first, when [[spoiler: she realizes she helped Discord discover his sadism]], and then when [[spoiler: she realizes she was responsible for the Windigoes' rampage]].
** [[spoiler: After Discord restores her sanity, Golden Tiara/Screwball remembers she tried to kill her daughter Diamond and has a rather nasty one of these, including saying this practically word for word]]:
-->" [[OhMyGods Dear Cadence]], what did I do?! WHAT DID I DO?! If Filthy hadn't [[PapaWolf stopped me...]] WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE TO MY BABY?!"
* The spy [[spoiler: Lord Eminence]] in ''Fanfic/UnderTheNorthernLights'' when he realizes that his plot has been found out because he has been very careless [[spoiler: because his special talent for being inobtrusive and even turning invisible doesn't work on reindeer, meaning there are lots of witnesses to his acts]]. He acted alone, convinced his success would force his superiors to accept a job well done, but Princess Luna is not only against the plan per se, she is also furious that he was so careless as to be found out. He doesn't say the actual phrase, but falls to the floor and moans [[OhMyGods "Mare in the Moon!"]] which prompts Luna to chastize him further for taking her name in vain when she is standing ''right there''.
* Twilight has a few of these as she copes with the fallout from ''[[Fanfic/EakinsHardReset Hard Reset]]''. Especially given how she started treating ponies (herself included) during the GroundhogDayLoop.
* According to ''FanFic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'', this was Smart Cookie's reaction when she realized that the plans she helped Puddinghead draw up for colonizing a new homeland would mean effectively leaving the other tribes to slow death by starvation and hypothermia.
* ''[[Fanfic/AFutureOfFriendshipAHistoryOfHate A Future of Friendship, A History of Hate]]'': Rarity has this reaction in Episode 4 when she realizes that she's been blowing off her friends without a thought in order to spend time with [[LoveInterest Regal Rule]], most prominent being that she [[spoiler: completely forgot about Fluttershy's birthday]].
* ''FanFic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': In the aftermath of the fight with the Changelings in Gallopfrey, Applejack nearly slips into a HeroicBSOD over the realization that she had to [[TheseHandsHaveKilled kill for the first time]] during said fight. Fortunately, a few reassuring words from [[RetiredBadass Granny Smith]] are able to pull her out of it.
* Spitfire has this reaction in the Blog/ReadingRainbowverse when she realizes how horrible she's been to her daughter.
[[AC: ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'']]
* Sakura has one in ''Legacy of the Rasengan: Naruto'' after Naruto [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rips]] [[WhatTheHellHero her apart for stealing his tin of personally created jutsu.]] Actually a DelayedReaction when cerain facts hit her. In order: A)Naruto spent '''YEARS''' creating his jutsu for '''HIMSELF'''. B)She stole from him. C)The reason they have ''Uzumaki Family Scroll'' on them is because Naruto is an orphan and wanted to pass on ''something'' to his kids.
* ''A Mother's Love: Fire and Blood'': The Third Hokage for pretty much screwing Kushina and Naruto over (The Third made it so their lives would be miserable) and letting them get kicked out of the village.
