* In the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' comic [[http://thebadtimeline.tumblr.com/ Future of Despair]], Panne is married to Henry and pregnant with Yarne. Her Taguel instincts and what she remembers of their traditions dictate that a Taguel mother must give birth in the woods ''and'' in her beast form.\\
'''You'd Expect''': For Panne to tell Henry (a young man with ''severe'' mental/emotional issues, which she's ''very'' aware of) to give her a hand and help her find an adquate place in the nearby woods to deliver their child without any risks. That way she can safely become a mom without having to give up on her instincts, and not to mention Henry gets to participate in the birth of their son.\\
'''Instead''': Unable to "resist her instincts", she transforms and runs away from the mostly safe palace she and Henry are currently staying in ''completely alone and apparently behind Henry's back'', to have baby Yarne in the woods. She's then mistaken as a wild animal by two local hunters and [[HumanPincushion gets shot full of arrows]], ''barely'' managing to give birth before kicking it - which soon sends the mentally unstable Henry through a SanitySlippage and a DespairEventHorizon crossing - and sooner or later will cause him to throw his own life away, therefore leaving Yarne almost completely alone.

'''Instead:''' The Centauri emperor actually anticipates the Minbari demand by decreeing Minbari space forbidden for the duration of the war, and the Orieni government, after some rumbling on how the Minbari are their natural allies, accept their demand. The problem is that some Centauri raiders decide to prey on Minbari shipping in Minbari space to make a quick buck with their advanced technology, while the Orieni decide to try and bypass the fortifications of the Centauri border systems by passing into neutral space, and accidentally penetrate Minbari space.

'''You'd Expect:''' The Orieni and Centauri governments to apologize and the raiders to run like they're chased by an angry god.\\

* Rose Potter is the queen of this, mostly because the author wanted to make her look better than Harry, which resulted her figuring out the plots that required Harry being a hotheaded idiot, but was too lazy to change the plot in any way. The result was that Rose ended up looking much stupider than Harry.
** For Example:\\
In the climax of Order of the Phoenix, Rose knows Legilimency, so she, unlike Harry, knows that what awaits her at the Ministry is a trap.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Her to avoid the ministry like the plague, given that there's nothing in it for her, since she knows she's being fooled. Or, at least, if she were to go, to alert the Order of the Phoenix immediately, call in for druidic backup, maybe place an anonymous and suitably vague call in with the ministry to make sure they'd be on what passed for their guard,, and generally prepare, as she knows that there will be a lot of Death Eaters waiting for her.\\
'''Instead:''' She does the ''exact same thing'' that Canon Harry does, except that she knew it was a trap. She calls for no backup save what Harry had in the original books.\\

'''You'd Expect''': Roll to maintain her cover, and at the same time, try to give out hints to [=MegaMan=], Lan, and of course Maylu, that she's still herself and try to do a little damage as possible.\\
'''Instead''': She doesn't do any of the above, trying to delete [=MegaMan=] for real, and telling off Maylu that she doesn't need to controlled by her anymore. Also, the matter of reverting back to her old self while grabbing a hold of the former.\\
'''So now you'd expect''': She would reveal her true colors and with the power of the rare twisted chip, she would defeat [=TorchMan=] so that she and her teammate would win and proceed to the finals of the N1.\\
'''Instead''': She continues to act like she's brainwashed by pretending like she wasjust getting [=MegaMan=] to drop his guard so that he will have no other options to do with her.

** Lereal, the leader of the Sufferists, has been recruiting people and has managed to stay hidden. The Sufferists are in no real danger, but Lereal isn't satisfied with staying hidden and staying alive. Karkat, Sollux, Nepeta, Kanaya and Tavros, the descendants of some major rebels, arrive, and Lereal takes this as a sign that the Sufferists will triumph over the oppressors. However, once Gamzee is rescued, he warns his friends and Lereal that the Condesce and Grand Highblood know exactly where they are and ''will'' come after them.\\
'''You'd Expect''' that Lereal would at least try to move the Sufferists to a new, safer location, even if he didn't trust Gamzee, and that he'd realise that even though the Sufferists number in their hundreds, they're no match for the fleet.\\
'''Instead''' he decides that with Karkat on their side, they can't lose. The Sufferists attack the fleet and are wiped out, leaving only two ships alive- one containing Karkat and co, who flee to Earth, and the other containing a group who decided to mutiny, and who made it out but whose whereabouts are now unknown. ''Great one'', Lereal.

* In ''Fanfic/SoullessShell'', Arnold has been sentenced to death for rape by Leif, who is the [[GodModeSue incredibly powerful]] [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking leader]] of the vermin of Redwall, but manages to escape and convince his guards to join him.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Him to flee the country, given that no creature alive can even hope to challenge Leif. Failing that, you'd expect him to come up with a plan to take Leif by surprise and use his guards to gain an advantage in numbers.\\
'''Instead''': Arnold decides that vengeance against Leif can wait until after he's raped a young girl. Since RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Leif finds him, [[OneWingedAngel turns into a demon]], and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown kills him]]. His guards aren't even present, and soon afterward try to attack Leif in revenge, only to get killed fairly easily.
* A few times in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3303241/1/A_Very_Special_Arthur A Very Special Arthur]]''.
** In the beginning, after Arthur hits his head on the bottom of the pool, they get out to call 911.\\
'''You'd Expect''': That his friends would take him out of the pool, since he's still submerged in water and unconscious after hitting his head.\\
'''Instead''': They leave him in the pool, underwater, for 20 minutes until the ambulance arrives, which helps cause him to become mentally retarded (and this is following the in-story logic behind this, as Arthur would be dead in real life).
** Arthur’s friends try to reverse his condition, but are told that the only hope for doing so, stem cell treatment, is illegal. They then decide to replicate the process that caused it in order to get him back to normal.\\
'''You’d Expect''': Them to use simple logic (as well as listen to the Brain when he points this out) and determine that pushing him into the pool would only make it worse.\\
'''Instead''': They go through with it, and are surprised when it makes Arthur's condition even worse.
* In ''Fanfic/EigaSentaiScanranger,'' [[BadassPreacher Peter]] uses the Film Power of all-mighty God to fight [[BigBad Blackorg]] and is inches away from winning...\\
'''You’d Expect''': The other Scanrangers to sit back and watch. Or, to just get out of there.\\
'''Instead''': [[SixthRanger Takeshi]], for some reason, runs out and asks to help Peter. Momentarily distracted telling Takeshi to leave, Peter is left vulnerable to a fatal blow by Blackorg.
* ''FanFic/ToKillAThief'': [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] has it on with his final plan to kill [[Manga/KamikazeKaitouJeanne Jeanne]].\\
'''You'd Expect''': He has to check out on his Death Note to make sure Miyako doesn't touch it and write down not only her name, but also Jeanne's and Chiaki's to make them die of heart attacks quickly.\\
'''Instead''': He writes down on the notebook, not realizing it's a fake one. On the top of that, he blurted out to Jeanne, Miyako, and Chiaki that he's Kira. As soon as the 40 second countdown ends, they're not dead. Now they know the truth.
* ''FanFic/{{Alex}}'' has the titular antagonist herself doing a press conference at the Candy Kingdom where she pins the blame on the dark swamp event on Marceline. On the top of that, she shows them of her crimes against Princess Bubblegum since "What Was Missing".\\
'''You'd Expect''': The Candy People will know that she's a friend of their princess and that she can't just charge her for all this.\\
'''Instead''': They believe her word. As soon as Marceline shows up, they started throwing rotten tomatoes to her for the acts she had done to their princess. What's worse is that Finn and Jake also believe Alex.
** In chapter 9, Marceline and Princess Bubblegum prepare to go to Alex's castle.\\
'''You'd Expect''': They should take Finn and Jake with them to investigate the place in order to see what Alex just did and regain their memories of being friends with the former.\\
'''Instead''': They went there by themselves. As a result, Alex kicks their asses and reveals her plot.
* ''[[FanFic/ErisGame Eri's Game]]'': Eri has taken some potshots on the police at the building her [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Kenzo Hiryu]] is. She knows she's gonna meet her end and knows there's gonna be a lot of men with guns outside the building. What should she do?\\
'''You'd Expect''': That Eri should know that if she tries a death wish like that, the mysterious force ([[spoiler:who is none other than Shiki]]) that keeps on foiling her death attempts would foil this one. Even if she accepted her death, she would try to stay alive\\
'''Instead''': Eri boldly opens the building and strides on the police who are all pointing guns at her. She manages to take some of them before dying. This time, the mysterious force isn't there to stop her. That finally got her death wish for sure, but...\\
'''Even Worse''': The reason the mysterious force ([[spoiler:Shiki]]) doesn't foil this one because of her battle with the Game Master at that time.
* ''FanFic/{{Hivefled}}'': Equius and Eridan receive a rambling, emotional IM message from Gamzee, babbling about how his mentor is giving him the creeps. Reading between the lines, it's quite obvious that said mentor is touching him inappropriately, but it's not entirely clear how Gamzee feels about this or even if he knows what's going on, as he's clearly typing while high as a kite.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Them to ask for clarification, and then tell him what's going on and tell him he should be running away.\\
'''Instead''': They [[PoorCommunicationKills assume he's bragging]] and tell him to just keep doing what he's doing.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8695313/6/Black-Heir Black Heir]]'': Harry has a magical contract that forces Narcissa Malfoy to do whatever he writes on it. When he decides that he's restricted her freedom too much, he asks for advice from her on how to change it (after ordering her to tell the truth). Narcissa suggests that on top of not being able to reveal his secrets, he should make it so she can't harm or allow him to be harmed in any way, shape, or form and that he force her to not hate or resent him for what he did.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Harry to take her advice since she has to be honest about what would be good failsafes against her acting against him.\\
'''Instead''': He decides that manipulating her emotions would be too harsh. Cue Narcissa painlessly knocking him out, changing every rule he's written, then destroying the contract so that while it's still in effect, he can't change anything on it anymore.
* ''[[FanFic/PonyPsychologySeries Secrets and Lies]]'': Twilight Sparkle has been the victim of numerous acts of vandalism, culminating in a confrontation with the insane pony responsible where Twilight is goaded into vaporizing her in the heat of the moment, and evidence indicates to her that Discord is responsible, attempting to weaken the Elements of Harmony and break out.\\
'''You'd Expect''': As this is the sequel to a story where the rest of the Mane Six hiding their issues led to utter insanity and Twilight needed to uncover said issues and reassure the others of the strength of their friendship in spite of it all, that Twilight could now gather said friends, explain the situation in full (putting her own unfortunate act in the context of Discord, as that was how she was trying to deal with the guilt), and inform Celestia as well (understandably afraid of the Princess's reaction, but ''[[MadGod Discord]]'').\\
'''Instead''': She tries hiding it all from ''everyone'' except for vague warnings (and a few rants doubting her friends' ability to support her) that ultimately drive all of Ponyville into chaos. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice]] [[SelfFulfillingProphecy going]], Twi.
