* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14085217/1/A-Spider-s-Evolution A Spider's Evolution]'' starts when the Brotherhood and the X-Men were both attempting to recruit Rogue (''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', "[[Recap/XMenEvolutionS1E3RogueRecruit Rogue Recruit]]") only for ComicBook/SpiderMan to get involved in the confrontation, which leads to Rogue basically choosing him over the two teams.

** Amora and [[spoiler: Agatha]] both had good things going in [[Series/OnceUponATime Storybrooke]] and could easily use any new outsiders with ease. However, Evie and Mal immediately [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness pick up on the personality incongruities for Regina]], and thus begin their journey to find out what's going on and then tear it down.

* In "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23791732 Spidey-Team]]", Peter Parker of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse has been part of the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse Spider-Verse crossover]], with the result that he is already aware of the multiverse before he meets Beck and thus knows that Beck can't be a dimensional traveller as he doesn't know anything about the rules (such as how Beck "should" be glitching if he's been in another dimension for two weeks).

* ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K]]'': The Imperium of Man's sudden and violent arrival to the [[Franchise/StarWars Galaxy Far, Far Away]] has unknowingly severely disrupted Palpatine's plans. They are a piece on the board that the Sith Lord has no control or influence over. Their presence means he can't move against the Jedi as he needs them to help defeat their forces. In addition, the Imperials have forced Palpatine to redeploy most of the Republic fleet to protect Coruscant. This not only allows General Grievous to effectively defeat the Outer Rim Sieges but also weakens Palpatine's control of the Senate due to the outrage many Senators feel over their planets and systems being abandoned.

* ''[[Fanfic/FivePetalsNaruto Five Petals]]'' [[PointOfDivergence diverges dramatically]] when Sakura shoves Sasuke out of Orochimaru's way and [[TakingTheBullet gets bitten instead]]. Orochimaru didn't ''intend'' to give her the Cursed Seal, and while he initially dismisses her as a 'minor' setback whom he expects will prove unable to survive the seal's presence, she proves herself to be a persistent thorn in his side, causing him to spiral through a series of {{Villainous Breakdown}}s.

* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'' gives a borderline humorous example in an otherwise completely serious situation. [[BigBad Bagan]] has set up an elaborate XanatosGambit that would work out in full to both secure more power for himself as well as kill [[BigGood Harmony]]. A crux of it was keeping a displaced Monster X separated from his comrades and put into the Equestria Girls world, where he'll be weaker in his human form and thus easier to kill by Bagan's agent, Enjin. One bystander messed it up and they weren't another kaiju nor an Equestrian hero intervening in the fight. EG!Photo Finish happened to be at the scene of a battle between X and Enjin at a hospital and took some pictures, thinking it was a movie stunt being filmed. Days later when an ally of X was in the same realm but dozens of miles away, she bumped into Photo, saw the pictures and recognized X in the images; and was able to alert her allies that she'd found him and he was in trouble. Bagan, the billions year old PhysicalGod got his plans set back by a photographer who didn't even know what she was snapping pictures of.

** The whole series is kicked off by Chloé's decision to [[PointOfDivergence steal the Ladybug Earrings out of Marinette's purse]]. She has ''no clue'' about their significance; she was just looking to punish her favorite bullying victim for ''daring'' to stand up to her and assumed the box was some kind of family heirloom. As a result, she becomes the {{Nominal Hero}}ine Scarlet Lady, leaving Master Fu at a complete loss as to how the Earrings wound up in the hands of a complete stranger.

** The Doctor's interference gives the allied forces enough of an edge that the Mekon War is cut considerably shorter than it would have been otherwise, including preempting the Mekon's planned attack on Earth. It later turns out that this is the [[ForWantOfANail divergence point]] between the main timeline and the MirrorUniverse.

** The Unluckies. If the ForWantOfANail in Chapter 19 wasn't enough, in Chapter 20, Cross attempts to use Soundbite's powers to stop or stall the Rebel Army outside of Alubarna. Unfortunately, the Unluckies arrive and snatch the snail, scrapping that plan. And even after they're beaten, Miss Friday manages to disable Soundbite's powers until Luffy beats Crocodile.

* ''Webcomic/FeralnetteAU'': Lila gets hit with two of these at once during the ''Birds of a Feather'' arc. Firstly, Principal Damocles defies all expectations by actually ''listening'' to Marinette's side of the story rather than letting Lila completely control the narrative. Then when she insists that Marinette should be expelled, Damocles casually reveals that [[spoiler:Chloe has claimed Marinette as her tutor, and made clear to him that if he kicked her out of school, she'd [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections set her father's fury]] on Francoise Dupont]].

* ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K]]'': The Imperium of Man's sudden and violent arrival to the ''Star Wars'' galaxy has unknowingly severely disrupted Palpatine's plans. They are a piece on the board that the Sith Lord has no control or influence over. Their presence means he can't move against the Jedi as he needs them to help defeat their forces.

* In ''Fanfic/UltimateSleepwalker: The New Dreams'', the Green Goblin kidnapped and planned to publicly murder Gwen Stacy as a way to get revenge on her father, Captain George Stacy of the NYPD. While Franchise/SpiderMan intervened and tried to rescue Gwen, the Goblin had anticipated that and set things up so he'd be able to kill both Spider-Man and Gwen at the same time. Unfortunately, what he ''didn't'' take into account was Sleepwalker following Spider-Man to the [[ShoutOut top of the bridge]] a Cascnd distracting him long enough for Spider-Man to rescue Gwen and get her to safety. The Goblin proceeded to have a VillainousBreakdown.

** Thanos himself is a spanner to many groups bigger plans, as his snap ended up derailing, revamping or changing how villains plans were across the multiverse.

** Amora and [[spoiler: Agatha]] both had good things going in [[Series/OnceUponATime Storybrooke]], and could easily use any new outsiders with ease. However, Evie and Mal immediately [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness pick up on the personality incongruities for Regina]], and thus begin their journey to find out what's going on and then tear it down.
** The "Wild Card" sets herself to be one, observing multiple universes, plucking selected people from them and hiring them as employees, in order to fulfill ominous goals concerning the entire Multiverse.

** Iri did this to herself with Assassin: Since the intent is for Shirou to have sex with all the girls, the fact that she can't touch anyone without killing them is a problem. Iri quickly summons [[https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Mash_Kyrielight Sir Galahad]] as Shielder, who has the power to resist poisons and can pass this onto her allies. And she makes Caren, Kirei's long-lost illegitimate daughter, her Master just to mess with Kirei.
** And Iri ''again'' manages to do this to herself. By summoning Shielder and Ruler, she broke the normal limits on number of Servants and left the door open for others to be summoned. Three separate groups start summoning Servants of their own. Iri can't shut them down, but she can make sure the Servants and Masters are all female. She gives the Ainsworth family [[https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Jeanne_dArc_Alter Jeanne Alter]] as Avenger, but instead of letting Julian become the Master as they intended she grabs his sister Angelica. She gives Fiore of the Yggdmillennia clan [[https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Oda_Nobunaga_(Archer) Oda Nobunaga]] ([[HistoricalGenderFlip who is female in the Nasuverse]]) as Gunner. And Miyu wasn't trying to summon a Servant at all, but didn't understand how the Grail War worked and got [[https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Báthory Elizabeth Bathory]] as Temptress.

* In ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'', Berk suddenly gaining control over dragons upsets the balance of power in Europe and derails many plans already in motion. Wulfhild notes that Hiccup pretty much changed rules of the game overnight and forced everyone else to play catchup.

* ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'': Jade's otherwise flawless [[OperationBlank Operation: Steel Lightning]] only fails because of the presence of Agent Wisker, who she didn't know and couldn't plan for. He doesn't stop her, but slows her down long enough for Uncle to catch up with her and beat her.

** Along similar lines, most of the Hinata Girls see Keitaro as this after he GrewASpine and left the inn, forcing them to start facing actual consequences for their actions. Part of this is simply by warning others about them, ensuring that they know that they're dealing with.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38856951/ A Real Chance]]'' opens with Uatu witnessing He Who Remains prune over a hundred timelines where at least one of the other Avengers spoke with Wanda before she went to Westview, or at least reached out to her before she "committed" to the idea of using the Darkhold to try and get her family back. Despite Uatu's vow to only observe, after witnessing He Who Remains express such satisfaction at how the [=TVA=] have cut Wanda off from so many allies in so many worlds, Uatu sends Wanda a discreet telepathic warning Wanda that she and Peter Parker are about to be attacked in the final timeline the [=TVA=] were to prune, featuring the two meeting in London as Wanda followed up a lead on the Darkhold and Peter happened to see her after the battle with Mysterio. With this advance warning, Wanda and Peter are able to fight their attackers off and affirm they'll be alert for the future, creating a new timeline where Wanda not only rejects the Darkhold, but also prevents Spider-Man's identity being exposed.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2086636/1/Rescue-Run Rescue Run]]'', Captain Dena Reese unknowingly serves as this to the Machines' cycle of control to keep the human population of Earth under their control; not only does she confirm that the Matrix has existed for longer than the two centuries the people of Zion believed, but she also helps them make contact with the human colonies in the rest of the solar system. Through her presence, [[spoiler:the people of Zion are evacuated from Earth and relocated to a new green planet, while the spacefleet destroys the Machine mainframe and the Matrix to prevent the machines following them into space]].

** Cole's entrance into Francoise Dupont makes it significantly harder for Lila to get away with any of her schemes. Since Marinette warned her ahead of time, Cole makes sure to gather plenty of evidence, such as [[CaughtOnTape recording her threats]] and having proof of her own movements.
** Cole also makes things much more complicated for Chat Noir. Not only does she call him out on being TheLoad, she exposes his exploitative behavior to Master Fu, who isn't pleased to learn that Chat Noir is deliberately skipping out on fights to try and {{Blackmail}} Ladybug into 'admitting she loves him'. As a new permanent bearer for the Fox, Vexxin proves to be the loyal and trustworthy partner Ladybug ''needs'', proving that she doesn't have to rely on somebody who refuses to take their heroic duties seriously or acts entitled to her.
** Adelaide becomes one after [[spoiler:Alya attacks Cole]]. Upon learning what kind of abuse Marinette and Cole have been dealing with at school, Adelaide immediately takes action against the district, resulting in [[spoiler:Ms. Bustier potentially losing her job, Alya's reputation going up in flames, and the exposure of Lila and her followers]].

* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'': Gabriel Agreste has a secret emergency fund account which he uses for various purposes. Unfortunately, this is also the only one of the Agrestes' accounts Adrien is able to access -- and thanks to Gabriel being such a ControlFreak, his son [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense knows very little about money management]] or basic precautions. Adrien accesses the account in full view of [[ConArtist Lila]], who memorizes the passwords and secretly cleans him out... making the account effectively useless not just for Adrien, but for Gabriel ''and'' Nathalie, both of whom intended to use that money to their own ends.

** The whole series is kicked off by Chloé's decision to [[ForWantOfANail steal the Ladybug Earrings out of Marinette's purse]]. She has ''no clue'' about their significance; she was just looking to punish her favorite bullying victim for ''daring'' to stand up to her, and assumed the box was some kind of family heirloom. As a result, she becomes the {{Nominal Hero}}ine Scarlet Lady, leaving Master Fu at a complete loss as to how the Earrings wound up in the hands of a complete stranger.

** Midoriya discussed this with All For One, as he discovers that something must have happened for the murderous supervillain to put his plans on hold. All For One cryptically says that plans can change. [[spoiler:In fact, it was because of his marriage to Inko and Midoriya being born that caused All For One to change his plans so he could stay with them and/or keep them safe.]]

* ''Fanfic/{{Juxtapose}}'': Shouto runs into one during the Sports Festival. As in canon, he intended to beat the strongest person in the tournament purely with his ice side in order to spite his father. However, he fixated on [[spoiler:Katsuki]] as his target, and is thrown off by [[spoiler:Momo beating Katsuki in her fight. This leads him to assume that he can breeze through the remaining competitors, not taking his semi-final opponent seriously... and enabling Hitoshi to take him by surprise and score a victory]].

* The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' has one that's notable for the exceptionally long time required for the spanner to actually get into the villain's works. [[spoiler:Back in the G3 Universe, which was facing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt (actually a ShootTheDog to avert a Class Z Apocalypse) at the time, Pinkie Pie's best friend Minty just bled to death after their fight with Luna, leaving behind her "spirit" (or at least a piece of herself). Strife, Discord's sister and Spirit of Natural Selection, is fighting the survivors of the doomed world (in order to give them at least the chance to fight for their survival, something she believes is the right of all living things) and sent Heartless-like spirits of "erased" ponies after them. One of these falls into the canyon where Pinkie and Minty's fight took place, wounded in battle. Pinkie, in a split second choice, fuses the piece of Minty with the shadow, which turns out to be that of the G1 Twilight. The result? ''[[TheHero Twilight Sparkle!]]'']]
** During the [[BadFuture Dark World Arc]], [[spoiler:Discord's little sister Rancor is this. She arrives to get close to Discord and ultimately steal back Destruction's power from him so it can be used for its intended purpose (Destruction's original job as an AnthropomorphicPersonification), mortally wounding him in the process. This ends up throwing a gigantic wrench in Nightmare Eclipse/Paradox's plans, allowing Discord to {{Out Gambit|ted}} her and alert Twilight to the [[GroundhogDayLoop true nature]] [[IronicHell of the Dark World]], forcing Paradox to expose herself to the heroes. The name Rancor chooses after succeeding (Disruption) couldn't be more appropriate. It's this trope especially because, while its implied she knew Paradox was there, she didn't care one way or the other what happened so long as her own mission was a success]].

*** For a while, it actually became something of a RunningGag that the Straw Hats' plans never worked out as planned, to the point that the characters started making note of in their planning sessions. This was particularly frustrating and humiliating for Cross, as he is the official tactician for the crew. But starting after Skypiea, things start going much better.

* ''Fanfic/PokemonMysteryDungeonLostTracksOfTime'': By befriending Sneasler, Ingo and Emmet [[spoiler: inadvertantly prevented her from getting [[BrainwashedAndCrazy chained]] at the same time as the other Nobles, preventing the BigBad from getting the 18 Plates they needed to usurp Arceus.]] Special mention goes to Emmet for [[spoiler: removing the Red Chain from Ingo before it took affect and stealing the Toxic Plate from Sneasler when she is successfully chained.]]

** In ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Not According to Plan]]'', the teenagers' plan to make anti-Cybertronian propaganda would have gone much better if Annabelle didn't decide to join the other kids that were going to be in the propaganda.

* Mid-way through ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11221042/1/Start-from-Scratch Start from Scratch]]'', Jade has been convinced to return to Beck after running away from his drunken abuse to stay with Tori, as Beck's demonstrated that he's genuinely trying to change to the extent that he's able to show her his sixty-days-sober chip. However, when Jade runs into a casting agent she recently had an audition with while out for a walk, the agent mentions that she was told Jade couldn't accept the past as she had to have surgery. With this as a catalyst, Jade checks back regarding a couple of other recent rejected auditions, and realises that Beck has been sabotaging her auditions with the goal of breaking her spirit so that she won't have the "incentive" to be anything more than his meek, devoted wife.

* ''Fanfic/{{Quicken}}'': [[AntiHero Emma]] accidentally and inadvertently causes a gang war only because she was in the wrong place in the wrong time wearing the wrong clothes.

* ''Fanfic/DevilsDiary'': Before his first outing, Magneto looked into the then-current cadre of heroes and villains and decided neither of them would want or be able to stop his coup. Yet still he was driven away by five heroes who nobody had previously seen before... although he KNEW who they were working for.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13869977/1/Despair-Arc-Execution-Failed Despair Arc: Execution Failed?]]'', Kyoko and Makoto ruin Junko's plan before it even gets off the ground, as Kyoko's investigation leads her and an accompanying Makoto to discover a [[spoiler:still alive Chiaki before she succumbs to her gruesome wounds. This, in turn, leads to not only 77-B being snapped out of Junko's influence, but Izuru returning to being Hajime]].

* ''Fanfic/SliceOfVelvetAndPear'': Princess Celestia expected her student in this timeline, Moondancer, to go on the same journey and discover friendship in Ponyville, as Twilight Sparkle did in canon during the events of Nightmare Moon's return. But there's two problems she didn't count on; Moondancer is ''even less'' [[NoSocialSkills social grace, tact, and interest in other ponies]] than Twilight did at the start of the series. Leading to her quickly alienating herself from Ponyville's residents and attempting to go after The Elements of Harmony on her own. And two, Moondancer's old classmate, Twilight Sparkle. Who in this timeline, is already living in Ponyville with her friends and was never Celestia's personal student and there go, not somepony she particularly factored into her plans. Who InSpiteOfANail, winds up going through more or less the same journey with her friends from while rushing to catch up and help Moondancer. [[spoiler: Resulting in The Element of Magic being split between Twilight and Moondancer. Something Celestia did not expect and does not know what to make of when she arrives.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: In ''The Golden Mean'', Finnick sadly laments that many of the victor-tributes who died in the arena, the mentors who died when Peacekeepers came to arrest the rebels, and many people killed in Districts 4 and 12 when the Rebellion broke out might have survived if not for an oblivious Capitol worker spotting the hovercraft meant for the escape and kicking things off early in a desperate scramble,

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': Godzilla is a secondary character rather than the protagonist of this story, but he's responsible for kicking off the entire plot when he ripped San's head off of Ghidorah during the events of ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'', leaving San and the OnlyMostlyDead Vivienne inside his head separated from Ghidorah's malevolent influence before being reborn as the two-headed [[AdaptationalHeroism Monster X]].

* Daniel Jackson (''Series/StargateSG1'') serves as this to the plans of John Cavil/Number One (''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'') in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13891584/1/Seven Seven]]'', as Daniel is the last of the Number Seven and is able to expose the extent of Cavil’s insanity and manipulations to the other Cylons.
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23791732 Spidey-Team]]'', Peter Parker of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse has been part of the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse Spider-Verse crossover]], with the result that he is already aware of the multiverse before he meets Beck and thus knows that Beck can't be a dimensional traveller as he doesn't know anything about the rules (such as how Beck "should" be glitching if he's been in another dimension for two weeks).

* ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'': Lila gets hit with two of these at once during the ''Birds of a Feather'' arc. Firstly, Principal Damocles defies all expectations by actually ''listening'' to Marinette's side of the story rather than letting Lila completely control the narrative. Then when she insists that Marinette should be expelled, Damocles casually reveals that [[spoiler:Chloe has claimed Marinette as her tutor, and made clear to him that if he kicked her out of school, she'd [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections set her father's fury]] on Francoise Dupont]].
