* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'': Discussed in chapter 15, with the two main cases being borderline examples. Swift-Pad, on hearing it, isn't happy to find out they'd do such a thing, though he begrudgingly admits that at least they made sure their foals would have someone who knew what they were doing watching over them.
** Scootaloo's parents are always away, and while her two aunts are very caring, they also aren't around all the time, though they ''do'' make sure she has trusted adult supervision when they can't be in Ponyville for her.
** Rarity admits that her parents go on vacation and leave Sweetie Belle with her on a regular basis, but they do so because they trust her to care for her sister (in fact, her mother feels Rarity is a better mother to Sweetie Belle than she herself is).

* Averted and played straight in ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku''. Izuku's adoptive parents are very attentive to his needs and are always trying to provide a safe and happy home for him even as he grapples with his identity crisis and growing powers. At the same time, he spent the last ten years of his life since discovering that he was an alien wondering why his biological family never came to retrieve him, wondering if they were held up, didn't care about him, or were dead. Anyone who knows Superman's backstory knows that the latter is true.

* This is implied as to how Ryuuko ended up in Satsuki's (mostly known as "Sis") care during the events of ''Fanfic/TheOutside'', as, apparently, their parents separated when the former was probably a toddler and their dad died. Some of what drives the plot is this trope as, Ryuuko is later taken from Satsuki's care and put into a home, social services trying to sort out where their mom is. As we find out, Shiro lost both of his parents before he was eight and Nui's parents were gone from her life before she was four. Eventually, Ragyo returns and, while custody she regains custody of Ryuuko, she also takes in Shiro and Nui.

[[spoiler:Empath is Papa Smurf's only begotten son, but was brought to Psychelia in order to be trained in the use of his abilities. The Psyche Master then takes Empath away from Papa Smurf and erases Empath's memories so that he would not remember Papa Smurf as being his father. The erasure procedure, painful as it was, made Papa Smurf that he sent his own son to die in Psychelia, and thus would be estranged from his wife from that point on, setting up the events where he would become the village leader.]]
