6	* ''Fanfic/CindersAndAshesTheChroniclesOfKamenRiderDante'' reveals early on that Hoshi had attempted suicide after his friend did the same. However, as the attempt was an experience only he and a random civilian know about, two later mentions are this trope, as both his friend and sister find out about this on separate occasions.

After Batman meets Xander and Faith on patrol, he visits them at the school they run as a cover for training Slayers to give Bruce Wayne a reason to meet Faith and reveal their relationship, but Faith only learns that Bruce is Batman after she is attacked by Bane, who refers to Batman as 'Bruce' right in front of her.
27	%%* ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'' (''Literature/HarryPotter'' & ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''): This happens so often that it may as well have its own page.
28	* ''Fanfic/ImNobody'': Roxas spends the start of the fic FakingAmnesia because he has no idea how to explain to the Normandy crew that he's a soulless "human" from a different dimension with only a month's worth of memories.

34	* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'':
35	** The Wolf casually reveals he killed Ramsay sometime after King's Landing has been taken.
36	** Tyrion suspected the Wolf had something to do with Euron betraying Cersei, having found Euron's helmet onboard the Wolf's ship, but was convinced otherwise. After the Wolf [[spoiler:is beaten by Drogon and flees]], Tyrion starts reexamining everything they knew about him, coming to the conclusion that the Euron they saw was one of the Wolf's men dressed as Euron, Euron is likely dead and the Iron Fleet works for the Wolf. [[spoiler:All of which is correct.]]
37	** [[spoiler:Harry Strickland]] waking up from his coma around the same time as [[spoiler:Sandor Clegane]] lets the heroes realize the Wolf can teleport almost anywhere he wants.
38	* ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'': Pretty much anyone who has picked up an American comic book in the past 50+ years would know that Izuku is Kryptonian. But since his adoptive parents had to run away with him for dear life to avoid getting caught by the authorities, they only managed to grab the lid of his spaceship rather than the whole thing, leaving him in the dark about his origins even after learning that he is an alien. This leads to his QuestForIdentity: hunt down his spaceship to figure out who and what he is to finally obtain some closure. [[spoiler:He gets his wish and then some when it turns out that K.E.L.E.X. stored a VirtualGhost of Izuku's biological father, Jor-El.]]
39	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14201224/1/The-New-Recruit-a-One-Shot The New Recruit, a One-Shot]]'' (''Film/{{Chronicle}}'' & Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse): Phil Coulson learns about the events of ''Chronicle'' when he meets Matt Garetty. Anyone who saw the film already knows the story, though Agent Coulson is hearing it for the first time.
40	* ''Fanfic/NewStars'' (''Series/TheOrville'' & ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''): While any Star Wars fan knows about the inhibitor chips placed in the clones that [[BrainwashedAndCrazy forces them to kill the Jedi]], the majority of clones are unaware of this. In this fanfic, [[AccidentalHero Dr. Finn]], while examining Maxx, finds the chip (mistaking it for a tumor) and removes it, giving it to Isaac for study. Isaac eventually discovers the chip's purpose, and he and Claire tell Maxx about it. He...doesn't take it well.
41	* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Readers who have already played ''VideoGame/BloodBorne'' or studied its lore will surely know [[PlayerCharacter Kyril's]] whole journey in Yharnam before setting foot to Eostia.

42	** Chapter 5 has Celestine and Olga taking a peek at Kyril's journal. The journal shows [[ApocalypticLog several segments of Kyril's journey in Yharnam]]: a death by a mob, his first visit to the Hunter's Dream, [[EverybodysDeadDave the deaths of almost everyone he met]], parts of his journey in the [[EldritchLocation Hunter's Nightmare]], and his final parting words before meeting Gehrman under the great tree.
43	** Being [[TheApprentice an apprentice]] to Kyril means they get to learn something about him that the readers already know about, albeit not everything. By Chapter 5, Kyril had already told Sanakan and Hugh about how he became a hunter by signing a contract, referring to the opening cutscene of the game. He is seen reenacting the tradition to the two so they can officially serve him under his command. By Chapter 7, they had learnt about the horrible job of a hunter, the origin of the beast plague, and the implication that [[spoiler:Kyril is [[HumanoidAbomination not human]], albeit his [[EldritchAbomination exact nature]] is still unknown to them.]]
44	** Celestine and Olga would eventually learn about the existence of the [[PocketDimension Hunter's Dream]], as well as Kyril's companionship with the Doll, in Chapter 7 and 12 respectively. At this moment, [[GenreSavvy both decided it is in their best interests to not pry any further]].
45	** In Chapter 28, Kyril reveals to Claudia about what he did before coming to Eostia, namely, spending a horrible amount of time killing off mobs of insane villagers and nearly dying, while seeing many people torn apart by beasts and other horrible things... which is exactly what the game is all about.
46	** Starting from Chapter 32, the fact that Kyril [[spoiler:experienced his first death meant that Celestine, Olga, and the assassin responsible knew about his ResurrectiveImmortality.]]
47	** Chapter 33 has Kyril showing Celestine and Olga more segments of the Night of the Hunt: his battle against a Cleric Beast, the opening cutscene of the game, his first death, his journey through the Forbidden Woods and Byrgenwerth, the descent of the pale moon, and lastly, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the Workshop burning]].
48	* ''Fanfic/OniGaShikuSeries'': For most of his life Izuku had absolutely no idea that his {{Honorary Uncle}}s were all Yakuza legends. Until [[spoiler:a news report announces Majima's death]] that is. After that particular story arc Izuku demands explanations from everyone.

76	** In Chapter 25-26, Stolas learns that (A) Octavia is alive, (B) Blitzo's adopted daughter who he mentioned to Stolas before was Octavia the entire time, and (C) that Octavia's kidnappers gaslit her into believing Stolas ''gave'' her to them and (D) that she saw him and Loona bonding in the Ring of Envy from afar and it seemed to validate what Via's kidnappers told her in her mind, which means (E) she now hates him.
77	** In Chapter 28, Blitzo finally sees fit to reveal to Moxxie and Millie the full details about how he met and adopted Octavia and what happened to her beforehand.
78	* ''Fanfic/PreciousLikeStarlight'': The audience knows who Charlie is from the start, but Lute doesn't realize that her host Charlie is actually Princess Charlotte Morningstar until the end of chapter 3.
