* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34804000 Court Summons]]'' lays the DramaticIrony on ''thick''. Adrien participates in Lila's plan to accuse one of his classmates of working with Hawkmoth, but balks upon seeing that the target is ''Marinette''. Namely because Adrien already knows here that their "everyday Ladybug" ''is Ladybug'', but had seen no reason to help her expose Lila as a ManipulativeBitch or seen anything wrong with dragging ''anyone else'' into a KangarooCourt. As he breaks down, Lila attempts to encourage him by claiming "[Marinette]'s just trying to confuse you, but you know what's right and wrong, that's why Ladybug trusts you." To her confusion, that just makes him break down ''harder''.

When Bustier arrives, she expresses her condolances for the loss, along with lamenting all of the plans for the school trip that were lost in the process... unaware that most of her students were actually responsible for ripping said sketchbook apart. The more she talks about how ''amazing'' Marinette's plans were, and what a shame it is that none of them can happen now, the culprits are increasingly horrified by everything they'll be missing out on.

* ''Fanfic/BlackbirdArrow'': Quentin unknowingly did this every time he drunkenly insulted Laurel in Sara's presence, as she knew Laurel didn't leave him by choice, having been traded to the League of Assassins by Dinah in exchange for Sara's freedom. That is probably why she didn't leave Dinah to move in with him until after Laurel is rescued from the League.
* Izuku does this in ''FanFic/ConversationsWithACryptid'' when All For One asks him about his family. When Izuku talks about his DisappearedDad Hisashi, he says that he has no real relationship with his father except bitterness because his abandonment was so hard on Inko. [[spoiler:Izuku doesn't know that All for One ''is'' Hisashi and was so distant because of his criminal enterprises.]]
* ''Fanfic/DarknessBurning'': This occurs during Anna and Elsa's first time talking to each other on their own accord in possibly ''years''. The conversation ends when Anna accidentally says "I guess there's a lot about me you don't know" to her reclusive sister, causing Elsa to shut down again and go back into her room.
* ''FanFic/DekuIThinkHesSomePro'': When Izuku admits to Sir Nighteye that he's honestly a little jealous of how Mirio's Quirk has mutated to grant him SuperStrength while he remains Quirkless, Nighteye can't help but wince. After all, he's aware that it's ''not'' a random mutation, but that [[ForWantOfANail All Might passed his Quirk on to Mirio]]... something he did on Nighteye's recommendation.

* ''Fanfic/FashionUpgrade'':
** After Bustier bails on her class rather than help them through a crisis, Adrien swallows his frustration and offers her comfort rather than a callout, reminding her "Aren't you the one who's always telling us it's okay to ask for help when we're stressed out?" Ironically, this causes her to dissolve completely into tears; the incident has forced her to realize how much she pressured Marinette to handle ''her'' problems all by herself, to the point that ''Bustier'' couldn't handle things without Marinette there to shunt matters off onto.
** Adrien tells Nino about the Lila situation [[IHaveThisFriend through the filter of having a 'model friend' dealing with it]]. While offering advice, Nino explains how staying silent about the lying would be the ''worst'' thing his friend could do, as he's just enabling matters to get worse and leaving the liar's victims to suffer. Adrien can't help but squirm uneasily.
* ''[[Fanfic/TheHighRoadMiraculousLadybug the high road]]'':
** Deliberately {{Invoked}} by Marinette when she praises her classmates for their willingness to help her accommodate Lila's various [[ObfuscatingDisability disabilities]]. While she acts unaware of how reluctant they are to go along with her efforts, in reality, she's fully aware, and is pretending otherwise to give them ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine and force them to really ''look'' at [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]].
** She also invokes this when thanking Adrien for how he advised her to leave Lila be and give her another chance, stating that "If it weren't for you, I would've missed out on a really amazing friend. I owe you one." This causes Adrien to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize]] that he unintentionally pushed her into the arms of a ManipulativeBitch.
* In ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5227982/chapters/12055802 I Knew You Were Trouble]]'', Oliver recalls how he cheated on Laurel almost immediately after they started dating. He was so guilt ridden by it he became genuinely ill...and Laurel came to nurse him back to health. Naturally, this only further convinced him that he didn't deserve her.
* ''FanFic/LadyBugOut'': After a new Cat Hero debuts, most of Adrien's classmates rave about how much more impressive and professional they are compared to Chat Noir, and how much happier Ladybug seems to be now that she has a partner who takes their job seriously. None of them realize that Adrien ''was'' Chat Noir, and that their comments are driving salt into the wound.
* {{Downplayed}} in ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'': When discussing the identity of the man who sabotaged the gates of King's Landing during Daenerys' attack, Tyrion offhandedly wonders if he might have run into Jaime (who was last known to be near the walls on the day of the incident). As the Wolf is behind both the sabotage and Jaime's abduction, he gets noticeably annoyed and changes the subject, although Tyrion puts it down to nerves from not killing anything recently.
* In ''Fanfic/SomethingInTheNight'', Chat Noir makes a false report to conceal his encounter with Ladybug and defends it to a suspicious Chief Roux. He then talks with his SecretKeeper Thomas and tells him the same story. Thomas replies, "I didn’t think you’d lie about something like this," and later praises him for how well he's stuck to his agreement over the years, causing Adrien considerable guilt about deceiving his closest friend on the force.
* Volume II, Chapter 9 of ''FanFic/SpectacularSeven'' sees Artemis doting on his niece, the LonelyRichKid Moondancer. Because Artemis is giving her unbridled attention and affection with no strings attached, Moondancer feels awful BeneathTheMask, especially when he confides in her that a magical artifact was stolen. Unknown to Artemis, Moondancer helped orchestrate the theft at the behest of [[TheManBehindTheMan her benefactor]] [[spoiler:Tempest Shadow, who had Moondancer exploit Lamia to steal from her own family]]. Moondancer feels so guilty that she briefly considers telling Artemis the truth and asking for his help, but [[IgnoredEpiphany lets the moment pass, choosing instead to brush it off]].
* In ''Fanfic/{{Suikakasen}}'', Kasen pretends to give Yoshika hermit training so that she can gather information needed to get past [[SomeKindOfForcefield the gate Rajoumon]], and intends on killing her once she can get past the gate's barrier. As such, Kasen prepares to covertly off Yoshika while the latter was lying in her lap during a trip to a mountaintop.

* ''FanFic/ATacticiansTestimony'': In "Footsteps of Fate," Lyn recalls that many people are [[FantasticRacism prejudiced against Sacaeans]] due to their ways of life, and tells Katri she's glad she isn't like that and is so kind. Unbeknownst to Lyn, Katri ''is'' [[NobleBigot prejudiced against Sacaeans]], and remarks in [[LemonyNarrator her narration]] that she's never felt so guilty in her life.
* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''FanFic/TruthAndConsequences'': Ladybug ''thinks'' Adrien is doing this when he gives a toast in her honor, proclaiming how trustworthy and honest she is, after she [[FaceHeelTurn secretly made a deal with Hawk Moth]], betraying Chat in the process. In reality, Adrien ''is'' Chat Noir, and [[PassiveAggressiveKombat very aware of the affect his words have]] on his [[EvilFormerFriend ex-partner]].
* In ''Fanfic/UnexpectedSurprise'', Nino says a couple of times how he would love to get his hands on Chat Noir for leaving Marinette alone and pregnant... right in front of Adrien, who already beats himself up for it far harder than Nino could ever hope to.
* ''Fanfic/ViridianTheGreenGuide'': When Katsuki attempts to apologize to Izuku for all the years he spent bullying him, Izuku brushes him off, insisting that things weren't really that bad. This only serves to drive home to Katsuki just how much damage he did, as Izuku internalized and accepted all the abuse.
* In ''Fanfic/WolfInTheStreetsSardineInTheSheets'', Fenrich was hired to assassinate Valvatorez and kidnap one of the kids under his care. He ends up working at the rehabilitation center as a volunteer, and Valvatorez's sincere faith in his supposed nobility and earnest praise quickly worms its way under his skin.
