* In ''Fanfic/WrongRoadToTheRightPlace'', Laurel’s attempt to find out who is behind the List led to Moira being forced to agree to having a contract put on Laurel’s life in the belief that this would draw attention away from her own children.

** In TMDDF: Danny and Kara, after Danny and Jazz learn how Sam spied on Danny and Kara, Jazz confiscated her weapons, making it easy for Penelope Spectra to capture her.

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': Sam went to Bellwood with Tucker to spy on Gwen, and when they found out about her powers, Sam used her phone to video Gwen using them [[DramaticIrony since she assumed that Danny doesn't know about them yet]]. That was when Operative K and Operative O of The Guys in White recognize Sam and Tucker and capture them. While they escape, Sam accidentally left her phone behind and the Guys in White found the video with Gwen using her powers. So thanks to Sam, The Guys in White are now hunting Ben, Gwen, and Kevin in Bellwood along with Danny.

* In ''Fanfic/MementoVivere'', a VideoGame/FinalFantasyX fanfiction, Jecht [[spoiler:forces the party to flee the battle after he tosses his sword at the Espada, thereby losing the weapon]]. He does it again when he attacks the Moonflow Shoopuf.

* ''FanFic/InnerDemons'': If Celestia had told Twilight about the prophecy sooner, or broken the news to her differently, it's possible that perhaps Twilight's transformation into the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Queen of Darkness]] could have been slowed or altogether prevented. [[spoiler: At the very least, Twilight wouldn't have [[FreakOut freaked out]] and turned Celestia to [[TakenForGranite stone]] in a fit of anger at the revelation.]]
** Twilight actually pulls this on ''herself''. After the above incident, she convinces her friends to lock her up in the library basement while Rarity searches for a way to stop her descent into darkness [[spoiler: and free Celestia]]. Unfortunately, since Spike is busy helping Rarity and Twilight's all alone, there's no one to wake her up from her nightmares, wherein the Queen persona consumes her completely.
** A little later on, [[spoiler: Sweetie Belle]] is on the verge of a HeelRealization, when Rarity's unfortunate wording during a conversation hits an emotional trigger [[ManipulativeBastard Queen!Twilight]] had previously planted, causing [[spoiler: Sweetie Belle]] to fully embrace her FaceHeelTurn [[spoiler: and reject Rarity as her sister]].
** Apple Bloom ends up [[spoiler: accidentally killing [[TheDragon Trixie]], whose death [[MoralityChain causes]] Queen!Twilight to suffer a VillainousBreakdown that [[PowerBornOfMadness results]] in her [[OneWingedAngel transforming into an Alicorn]].]]

* ''Fanfic/{{Game Theory|LyricalNanoha}}'' has quite a few examples. The two most notable are Chrono [[spoiler:[[PoorCommunicationKills assuming that Nanoha was working with Fate]] and attacking her in her home, which led to her ''actually'' deciding to help Fate fight the TSAB]], and Nanoha's consequent decision [[spoiler:to help Precia revive Alicia.]]

* In FanFic/AMinorVariation, Rarity sends the CMC to ''deliberately'' provoke a disharmonious event near the statue of Discord to see if he was showing signs of breaking loose. Oops.
* There are not words to describe Celestia's epic screw-up in ''Fanfic/PastSins''. Suffice it to say that if she had just held back, almost none of the really bad things would have happened.

** [[spoiler: [[EnemyWithin Fluttercruel]] honestly just wanted to teach Fluttershy something important for her own good, to let her learn the cruel part of nature, but it ends up [[SuperpoweredEvilSide corrupting]] her for real as opposed to being just brainwashed by Discord. Fluttercruel is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone absolutely horrified]] realizing this.]]
*** [[spoiler: She also gets Fluttershy, and herself, ''[[CantHoldHisLiquor drunk]]'', which WordOfGod admits may have had something to do with their behavior following and made Fluttershy more vulnerable to the darkness than she otherwise would be.]]
** [[spoiler: While it's LooseCanon, it's implied that the Mane Cast are, unknowingly, being manpulated into commanding [[BigBad Princess Gaia's]] army via a boardgame they're playing with Gaia herself. If this is believed, Rainbow Dash unwittingly guides Gaia's army into "Gaiafying" Gilda.]]
*** [[spoiler: If this is true, it is quite possible that Trixie and Twilight Sparkle are unwittingly providing a front for Princess Gaia to ''brainwash their own mothers'' into being her knights.]]

* Pulled on the ''readers'' in [[Blog/ReadingRainbowverse Dungeon Master Bonbon.]] When Lyra temporarily takes over the blog, they spam her with asks saying how Bonbon loves her, causing her to ''break up'' with Bonbon out of fear she's leading her on.

* The eponymous VillainProtagonist in Fanfic/TheRiseOfDarthVulcan main occupation-aside from looting ponies- is calling out the ponies for their dumb actions in canon. In-universe, many of actions of the Mane 6 and others make the situation with him a lot worse:

* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/305759/the-clockwork-consequence The Clockwork Consequence...]] Hoo boy! Let's just say that Twilight's BatmanGambit to escape from Nightmare Moon in the NightMare Moon timeline from ''The Cutie Re-mark Part 2'' was ''not'' one of her better ideas. But, to be fair she had no idea just how far Nightmare would go to protect her rule.

* Happens quite often in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' fancomics on Webcomic/RichsComixBlog.

[[AC: ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao'']]
* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8514012/12/Keena-the-Defendants-of-Constan-Magic-Academy Keena & the Defendants of Constan Magic Academy]]'', main villain Eiko tells Lily that her and Michie can't end up together due to Lily kissing Akuto before ([[ContinuityNod which happened in the actual Demon King Daimao anime]], and Lily only kissed him as a "reward"), as it automatically causes her to be engaged to him due to him being the Demon King. Cue short {{Tearjerker}} and SanitySlippage.

* In ''Fanfic/MementoVivere'', a VideoGame/FinalFantasyX fanfiction, Jecht [[spoiler: forces the party to flee the battle after he tosses his sword at the Espada, thereby losing the weapon]]. He does it again when he attacks the Moonflow Shoopuf.

* In ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMysticForce'', The togwarts staff and students all drive Harry away despite needing him to face Voldemort. [[spoiler:Subverted/Justified as it turns out most of the key figures were subtly brainwashed by the real BigBad to get Harry out of the way while he carried out his own plans]].

* ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'': Right after Twilight has stopped the Changeling invasion by shrinking the Changelings, [[ManipulativeBastard Prince Jewelius]] blames all the other heroes for the invasion, telling the wedding guests and royal guards half-truths about the canon mistakes Princess Celestia, Shining Armor and Twilight's friends made before the invasion. Even Celestia is taken aback by her [[BitchInSheepsClothing previously well-mannered]] nephew's hostility, so aside from nervous requests for him to calm himself, she doesn't try to stop him. She also tries to claim that everything would have been solved differently if Twilight had acted calmly and gathered evidence against the disguised Queen Chrysalis calmly and/or brought

calls Princess Celestia, Shining Armor out of their mistakes aggressive

* [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Nia]][[SonicTheHedgehog my]] of ''Fuck The Jesus Beam'' decides to deal with the Bombignat threat by releasing O.B.A.M.A. from his prison, despite him having started 95 World Wars as president and, as it is later revealed, being the source of the Bombignats. Upon his release, O.B.A.M.A. says that he will reclaim his domain, and takes control of the Bombignats.

* In ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''MassEffect''[=/=]''StarWars''[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its [[FanFic/SovereignGFCOrigins sequel]], this happens frequently.

In the fan fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14062524/chapters/32395740 Before the Dark Times]]'' Obi-Wan does the very thing Anakin pleaded with him not to do is told the Jedi Council about his use of the Dark Side, once by accident and his marriage to Padme. This in turn causes the council to throw Anakin out of the Jedi all the while lecturing how it's impossible to come back from the dark side once one starts on that path. This is including the years of Mace Windu doing nothing but being a condescending jerk to Anakin for years. Needless to say all this sends Anakin right to Palpatine who is more then happy with these developments and helps turn Anakin into Darth Vader. And for extra Mace flat out tells Anakin that the Jedi are going to take his children to be trained to become Jedi as infants regardless of what Padme or Anakin wants.

Sure Anakin did Force choke General Grievous and accidentally started doing it to Obi-Wan before stopping within mere seconds. If the Jedi showed Anakin actual compassion and tried to help instead of kicking him out with betraying his trust, especially in Obi-Wan's case Anakin's becoming Darth Vader could have been prevented.

** The Lunarians didn't have any real idea what the Glorft were planning and were mostly hiding from them. The problem is that if Megas (and her crew) hadn't been there, they probably would have stayed hidden until the Glorft would have gone away... meaning that both the Lunarians and the Earth would have been destroyed when Warmaster Gorrath smashed the moon into the planet. After overhearing Megas's crew on their return visit, the Watatsuki sisters give this realization to themselves and resolve to be more decisive next time, vowing to annihilate the Glorft should they cross paths again.

* In MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover-but-mostly-''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' story ''Fanfic/BloodAndRevolution'', Saitou and [[Characters/{{SaintSeiya}} Shun]] awaken the [[{{GodInHumanForm}} Earthkami]] to stop a lesser kami from going to war against humanity with an army of youkai.[[spoiler: It turns out that waking up the incarnation of the earth itself is not a good plan. The manage not to literally end the world, but it does cause the [[{{TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt}} end of civilization]].]]
