* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/28591239 The Boys Vs The MCU]]'' is exactly what it says in the title. When [[Series/TheBoys2019 Billy Butcher, Hughie, and Annie]] find themselves in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Billy immediately starts from the assumption that the Avengers are just as corrupt as the 'heroes' he's familiar with; he concludes that Stark funds the Avengers just to make more money from the publicity, Hulk was originally deliberately created to be a villain, the reports of SHIELD being infiltrated by HYDRA were faked to allow the Avengers to act autonomously, and Thanos's army was a set-up to give the Avengers greater control and get rid of the Accords. Ultimately Billy concedes that the Avengers are genuine when he has a chance to confront Zemo and General Ross and confirms that they aren't the victims he assumed they were, particularly when military records confirm that Ross was responsible for the Hulk. Billy is finally forced to confront the Avengers when he attempts to break Zemo out of prison, followed by an aborted attack by Homelander that ends with Thor pinning him down with Mjolnir, proving to Billy that these heroes are exactly what they seem to be.

* In ''Fanfic/RouletteWheelOfFate'', Bingge still operates under stallion novel logic in the ''Scumbag System'' world, believing he can murder and rape as much as he wants because he will obtain his LustObject at the end. Unfortunately for him, Shen Qingqiu bestowed the Protagonist Halo to Liu Qingge, turning the setting into a DarkFantasy in which the ultimate goal is to slay the Demon Tyrant harassing the LoveInterest: Bingge himself.

* ''[[Fanfic/TheLamentSeriesChaoticNeutral Chloe's Lament]]'': Chloé uses the [[RealityWarper reality-warping Wish]] to switch lives with Marinette, expecting a straight RoleSwapAU wherein ''she'' gets to become Ladybug and lavish in everyone's praise of her heroics while Marinette is despised for being the Mayor's SpoiledBrat of a daughter. Unfortunately for her, she's actually in a BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor scenario wherein she's just created her own SelfInflictedHell: their roles may have changed, but their ''personalities'' remain the same. So Chloé retains her spoiled, self-centered and bullying ways ''without'' [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty the protection that being the Mayor's daughter afforded her]].

** When the Imperium of Man is transported into the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe, they assume the Galaxy Far, Far Away is no different from their home galaxy where humanity constantly struggles for survival against AlwaysChaoticEvil aliens in a CrapsackWorld. In reality, they couldn't be further from the truth as the ''SW'' setting is far more optimistic than that; not only is humanity at large prospering, but the overwhelming majority of aliens are relatively friendly compared to the xenos from ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''. Basically, the Imperium thinks they're in a grimdark MilitaryScienceFiction story as the anti-heroic protagonist faction fighting a GuiltFreeExterminationWar to defend humanity, when they're actually the antagonistic EvilEmpire in a more traditional, heroic SpaceOpera. This means that their genocidal attitudes towards non-humans, which might seem NecessarilyEvil in a setting where AliensAreBastards like ''40K'', instead serve to establish how much of a VilerNewVillain they are from the perspectives of the ''SW'' characters.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2586023/1/The-Way-the-Fairy-Tale-Goes The Way the Fairy Tale Goes]]'' features Jeremie using fairy tale logic to determine how his relationship with Aelita should progress. Little does he know he's in a cartoon where the most powerful member of the team is the one with the tech skills and that the princess has already decided she wants him and no one will shake that choice. And even in universe, his logic is treated as utterly bogus; Ulrich is outright ''annoyed'' that [[ObliviousToLove Jeremie is completely oblivious]] to [[EveryoneCanSeeIt what is blatantly obvious to literally everyone else]] (though he manages to be sympathetic since he realizes [[HeroicSelfDeprecation it's just Jeremie's low self-esteem talking]] and [[BigBrotherInstinct is outright pissed at whoever put those ideas in his friend's head]]). And for an added bit of irony, there are ''many'' fairy tales where the princess's hand is won by someone whose greatest strength is either his good heart or sharp mind, traits Jeremie has in abundance.

* In ''Fanfic/TheDragonAndTheButterfly'', Hiccup thinks that Casita is more sinister than it really is, repeatedly shown reluctance to enter their home under the assumption that it would someday eat him.

** Upon discovering the existence of the Galactic Republic, a galaxy-spanning [[TheFederation democratic union]] where humans have peacefully co-existed with thousands of different alien races for over 25,000 years, the Imperium reacts with extreme skepticism and hostility because everything about the Republic seems ''way'' TooGoodToBeTrue from their perspective. If this were a dystopian setting like ''Warhammer 40K'', the Imperials would be ProperlyParanoid for thinking this and the Republic would probably turn out to be a [[CrapsaccharineWorld crapsaccharine]] FalseUtopia. However, since this is in the more hopeful setting of ''Star Wars'', the Imperials' suspicions are unfounded and they instead come across as ImproperlyParanoid {{Absolute Xenophobe}}s to everyone else.
