* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29926677 Ten Centuries Apart]]'': In a FusionFic of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006 Legion of Super Heroes]]'', Green Lantern and Green Arrow fear telling Superman that his cousin Kara choose to stay in the 31st century with Brainiac 5, given Superman's volatile history with the present-day Braniac but unaware that Superman had met Brainiac 5 and the other Legionnaires as a teenager. Meanwhile, Clark can tell they are deliberately hiding the identity of the boy Kara meet, and he narrows down the only option as Lightning Lad's ReformedButNotTamed brother Lightning Lord. It's not until both he and Oliver blurt out their guesses that Clark can sigh in relief, especially knowing that Braniac would treat Kara well.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7225350/1/Bloodsucker Bloodsucker]]''. During a biology class experiment, Star discovers Danny's abnormally low vitals. Then he inadvertently shows off his SuperStrength during a gym class. The Casper High student body, shocked by all this, correctly conclude that Danny is one of the supernatural undead. Of course, since only a handful of people outside the ghost Zone even know it is possible for someone to be half-ghost, they specifically think that Danny is a vampire. Danny, amused, goes with the flow by saying he's a dhampir.

* In ''Fanfic/LearningHowToBeAPrincess'', Edric and Emira correctly deduce that Luz is the half-witch daughter of the human who was sighted on the Boiling Isles around fourteen years prior, concluding that she's the civilian identity of the Golden Guard. They're correct on the former, but while the later is a reasonable assumption based on the magical prowess she's displayed, Luz isn't the Golden Guard. Amity does point this out herself, but uses timing as a reason why this isn't the case (the Golden Guard very publicly left the Isles for a mission months prior) rather the reveal Luz's actual secret (she's the daughter of Emperor Belos).

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12986165/4/A-Monster-s-Marriage A Monster's Marriage]]'', Roman Torchwick's introduction has him convinced that Jaune Arc is a master crime boss and a major player in the criminal underworld, since Jaune has managed to be connected to and well-liked by almost every other high-ranking criminal in the city. In reality, Jaune is an oblivious NiceGuy who met these criminals through [[VillainsOutShopping rather mundane means]] or through his wife Cinder, who is an ''actual'' crime boss ([[LockedOutOfTheLoop though Jaune is unaware of that]]).
* ''Fanfic/AnArcForEverySeason'': During the fic's one-chapter take on the "Jaundice" arc, Cardin and his team are confused that Jaune doesn't show any real reaction to their bullying unless another member of Team RWBY-J is present, at which point he plays everything off as "guys being guys". Cardin eventually reasons that Jaune is doing this so he can maintain some level of masculinity and respect in order to impress the girls, which prompts him to go out of his way to make sure that one of them manages to witness Team CRDL's actions to embarrass Jaune. The real reason Jaune is acting this way is because all the girls are [[WrongContextMagic highly-powerful Maidens]] who would absolutely engage in DisproportionateRetribution just short of murder if they learn he's being bullied. Jaune himself tries to explain this, but Cardin doesn't take it seriously until it's too late.

** ''FanFic/ProfessorArc'' and its sequel ''FanFic/HeadmasterArc'': The story is the result of Jaune becoming a professor at Beacon as [[GoneHorriblyRight his falsified credentials have made him seem too experienced to be a student]]. Much of the humor and plot is drawn from people making the wrong assumptions. [[spoiler: Cinder draws the conclusion that Jaune is like her: a criminal with an agenda. She is ''technically'' correct in that his falsified credentials are illegal, and he ''has'' an agenda--it's just that it's nowhere near what she thinks it is]].

* ''Fanfic/PoundTheTable'': J. Jonah Jameson has long since clued into the fact that the teenage freelancer Peter Parker doesn't just ''happen'' to be able to get good pictures of Spider-man when no one else can. After all, his staff has experience reporting and photographing in everything from natural disasters to active warzones, and they can't get a single good picture of him, so there's no way a random teenager can without there being ''something'' more to it. The conclusion he comes to, however, is that Spider-man is blackmailing a desperate teenager into being his personal photographer to better aid in his GlorySeeker ways. Consequently, [[spoiler: Jonah has been quietly stowing away all the royalties Peter has been unknowingly earning for his photography into a trust fund to be paid out when he turns eighteen, so he can "get away from that menace."]]

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12986165/4/A-Monster-s-Marriage A Monster's Marriage]]'', Roman Torchwick's introduction has him convinced that Jaune Arc is a master crime boss and a major player in the criminal underworld. He came to this conclusion because Jaune seems to be connected to and well liked by almost every other high-ranking criminal in the city; when in reality, Jaune is an oblivious NiceGuy who met these criminals through [[VillainsOutShopping rather mundane means]] or through his wife Cinder, who is an ''actual'' crime boss (though Jaune is unaware of that).
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/8249843/chapters/18904520 at least it was here]]'': When Jaune walks into the kitchen without a shirt on, everyone sees that he has a long line of hickies along his chest. Since everyone ([[ObliviousToLove except Jaune]]) knows that Pyrrha is in love with him, they angrily order him to put a shirt on, hoping Pyrrha won't notice. They are unaware that [[FriendsWithBenefits Pyrrha was the one who gave him the hickies]]. As an extension of this, both Jaune and Pyrrha are convinced that the other isn't interested in dating and refuse to even bring up the idea out of fear of ruining their friendship, while everyone else (''especially'' [[ShipperOnDeck Nora]]) wonder when they'll get their act together.

* There are several of these in the ''Pokemon'' story ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'':

* In ''Fanfic/PokemonMysteryDungeonLostTracksOfTime'', several characters note how caring Sneasler is of rescuer newcomers Ingo and Emmet. She goes out of her way to help them, understands their train lingo, and even mimics their pointing habits and speeches. On top of this, Ingo and Emmet are both Sneasels, and Ingo is even the same variant that can evolve into a Sneasler. The common assumption is that Ingo and Emmet are her younger brothers. Sneasler denies the claim, but neither Ingo nor Emmet do at any point.
** And the reason Sneasler acts so familiar with Ingo and Emmet? [[GeneticMemory Noble pokemon retain memories from previous nobles]], and she remembers Warden Ingo. Since reincarnation exists in this world, she assumes that Ingo the Sneasel is the reincarnation of Warden Ingo, and he thinks he's human because he retained some PastLifeMemories. The truth is that Warden Ingo was transformed into a Sneasel and time travelled to her time period.

** Iron Man and Centurion being ShroudedInMyth lead many to speculate about their identity: Catelyn Stark thinks they are Benjen Stark and Jory Cassel while Tyrion Lannister is convinced Brynden and Edmure Tully are wearing the armors. Both of them dismisse Anthony Stark - a RichIdiotWithNoDayJob who faithfully serves Lord Tywin - and his ward Jon - JustAKid who couldn't keep his mouth shut if he was a vigilante.

* In ''Fanfic/HailToTheKing'', the human in King Sombra's body makes several assumptions based on the idea that he's actually in a coma and is dreaming everything around him. His idea that Shining Armor (who identified himself as prince of the Crystal Empire) is his son makes Cadence facepalm.

* ''at least it was here'': When Jaune walks into the kitchen without a shirt on, everyone sees that he has a long line of hickies along his chest. Since everyone ([[ObliviousToLove except Jaune]]) knows that Pyrrha is in love with him, they angrily order him to put a shirt on, hoping Pyrrha won't notice. They are of course unaware that [[FriendsWithBenefits Pyrrha was the one who gave him the hickies]].

** Ladybug is initially convinced that the Akuma Wicked Witch is Chloe, due to the latter's volatile nature and having been just been publicly humiliated and effectively disowned by [[AbusiveParent her mother Audrey]]. When she and Chat Noir find Chloe, they discover that she was akumatized into Little Red, a skittish BrokenBird that sees the Witch as her sole protector. The Wicked Witch is actually Alix, who became akumatized out of anger upon learning what happened to Chloe, though Ladybug is at a lost as to why Alix would care so much about the school AlphaBitch's feelings, unaware that [[spoiler:the two are secretly dating, much less that [[MutualMasquerade Alix and Chloe are witch and familiar]].]]

** AdventurerArchaeologist Daring Do assumes that the ancient, well-defended, intimidating structure built to last forever in the middle of the desert is a tomb, and that the writing inside in multiple unknown languages is a curse meant to scare away tomb robbers. Entirely reasonable assumptions for the AdventurerArchaeologist which would serve her well otherwise, but unfortunately, the building isn't a tomb, and the writing isn't a curse.

** After overhearing Alix complain about the full moon and realizing she smells like wet dog, Juleka becomes convinced that she's also a magical/supernatural being and is a werewolf, and tells the others so that they can help corner her. While correct that she's part of the magical world, Alix is actually a witch. It's Chloe, who happened to be around during those moments, that's the werewolf. Alix was the one complaining because she's the one Chloe entrusts to make sure she doesn't cause too much damage when in a feral state, and Juleka didn't catch on because she always left before hearing Chloe's side of the conversation.

* In ''Fanfic/TheresMoreMagicOutThere'', Ladybug is initially convinced that the Akuma Wicked Witch is Chloe, due to the latter's volatile nature and having been just been publicly humiliated and effectively disowned by [[AbusiveParent her mother Audrey]]. When she and Chat Noir find Chloe, they discover that she was akumatized into Little Red, a skittish BrokenBird that sees the Witch as her sole protector. The Wicked Witch is actually Alix Kubdel, who became akumatized out of anger upon learning what happened to Chloe, though Ladybug is at a lost as to why Alix would care so much about the school AlphaBitch's feelings, unaware that [[spoiler:the two are secretly dating, much less that [[MutualMasquerade Alix and Chloe are witch and familiar]].]]

* In ''Fanfic/PeterParkersFieldTripOfCourseItsToStarkIndustries'', while Peter ''does'' work for Tony Stark, the fact that Stark Industries has a policy that forbids High School students under 18 for liability reasons would have you believe that Peter could have forged the documents that act as evidence. It's the fact that they did nothing to check if they were forgeries or if Peter actually was an exception to the rule nearly has the school sued for contract violation.

* In ''Fanfic/TheresMoreMagicOutThere'', Ladybug is initially convinced that the Akuma Wicked Witch is Chloe, due to the latter's volatile nature and having been just been publicly humilated by her own mother. [[spoiler:When she and Chat Noir find Chloe, they discover that she was Akumatized into Little Red, a BrokenBird that sees the Witch as her sole protector. And it isn't long until they find out that Wicked Witch is actually Alix Kubdel, having been akumatized out of anger for what [[AbusiveParent Audrey]] had done to Chloe]].

* The famous ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2g65jL3HDg split timeline explanation]] took a lot of evidence from the games to create a working timeline, with the split happening in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', due to the adventures of child and adult Link (either resulting in the Sacred Realm being protected or Ganon being sealed). Nintendo released the official timeline, which was a split timeline based on the actions of ''Ocarina of Time'', but there was a ''third'' split that hadn't been considered, a timeline where the Hero of Time [[TheBadGuysWin fails]].

* Am 'entertaining in a horrifying way' occurred in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12672367/1/The-Nightmare-House The Nightmare House]]'' with Lily. Lily, being a BrainyBaby, is more aware of things than most, but she still lacks context. So, she hears her parents talking about mortgages and how having her affects them. She knows they are a looming problem, but has no idea what it is. So how does her sleeping brain interpret it: Mor-Gaj the monster.

* In ''Fanfic/LakesNewNormal'', Jesse's father believes that Lake (the MirrorSelf of a teenage girl named Tulip) is omitting some information from her backstory, which is absolutely correct. However, he believes that the main thing she's hiding is that she forced Tulip to swap places with her, and the human is now trapped in the Mirror World serving as Lake's reflection. Lake angrily corrects him on this, saying she's probably safe back in Minnesota and that she'll give him the means to check that information.[[note]]She does mentally note that trapping Tulip ''was'' her original plan, and that she only abandoned it when it turned out it wouldn't work (though she wisely doesn't say this out loud).[[/note]] The real thing she's hiding is the fact that she [[KillingInSelfDefense killed two people]] during her journey on the train.

** A 14-year-old girl is brought into [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria]] and transformed into a pony. [[DamnYouMuscleMemory Her inability to use her new body]] is seen by doctors to be the result of a lifetime of abuse, and she can't tell the truth because she can't even use her own tongue.

* Appears everywhere in ''Fanfic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess''. Malty regularly makes decent but inaccurate guesses about Naofumi's world such as assuming he was a Cinderella type character due to being used to sleeping on the floor, not knowing about futons. Or hearing that Naofumi learned of her world threw a book and assumes he read a heretical version of the legend of the four cardinal heroes and that wars are fought over such things in his world. Meanwhile, Naofumi determines that the king and queen of Melromarc are a pair of {{Magnificent Bastard}}s who summoned all four heroes to stave off an invasion by Stiltvelt and functionally hold the world hostage to keep the other kingdom off their backs. Even Malty, who's certain she knows otherwise starts wondering if he's right.

** In Chapter 9, [[TheRival Bakugou]] is quick to assume that his 77 Villain Points on the entry exam secured him first place on the UA's entry exam ranking. [[spoiler: Little does he know that [[TheHero Izuku]] blew him out of the water by scoring 175 points [[ChronicHeroSyndrome by spending more time helping others]], which in turn inspired them to do the same. That coupled [[HeroWithAnFInGood his complete lack of Rescue Points]] knocked him down to 10th place.]]

* In ;;[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11826487/1/Mysterious-Hunter Mysterious Hunter]]'', Ichigo is mistaken for Qrow's bastard son because of his claims to have grown up with no father and giving a coincidentally accurate description of Qrow for his deadbeat father. Later, his immense power, unusual abilities, lack of a paper trail, and dislike of attention lead Ozpin and Glynda to believe he is a Maiden who underwent gender reassignment surgery to go into hiding.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10312454/1/Haunted Haunted]]'' has all the students who were killed and executed in [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc the first game]] become ghosts at the moment of their deaths with their memories of their school life and the Tragedy restored. Upon realizing that Mukuro is missing, they first assume that she was the subject of Monokuma's Motive Video for Junko and are more confused as to why Junko's ghost seems to be missing. It's not until Hifumi's killed that they realize that Junko's the mastermind behind the Killing Game and the Tragedy.

* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5536346/15/Inviolate chapter 15]]'' of ''Fanfic/{{Inviolate}}'',[[note]]For those who care, it's an AU set just after Luthor is impeached in the DCU continuity[[/note]] ComicBook/LexLuthor concludes that Bruce Wayne is backing Franchise/{{Batman}}... but thinks that Batman is Matches Malone (sort of true, since both are really Wayne), and that [[ComicBook/TwoFace Harvey Dent]] wore the cowl before him (completely false, but sensible -- Jim Gordon thought much the same thing at one point).
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11810567/1/Bat-Wolf Bat-Wolf]]'': After seeing a huge wolf in the park under the full moon and being unable to find Bruce in the house, an eight-year-old Dick Grayson starts to believe his guardian is actually a werewolf. He considers this "totally cool", but Bruce is horrified when he sees his ward nearing a beast able to maul him under the assumption it won't hurt him.
* ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'': After hearing about Clark Kent’s strange habit of going to the restroom just before a newscast, a detective investigating his disappearance wonders if Kent might be doing drugs. Understandable mistake, since he ignores Clark needs to change into Franchise/{{Superman}}.

* For a given value of ‘entertaining’, in the ''Series/{{Dexter}}'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8801169/10/Even-though-I-m-broken-will-you-accept-me Even though I'm broken, will you accept me?]]'', it is revealed that a recent serial killer was trying to draw out the Bay Harbor Butcher as he became convinced that the killer was still alive, but he actually captures Debra when she goes to follow up on her lead rather than Dexter.

* When Lucy and Yukino are sent back 400 years in the past to kill Zeref in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13093196/1/Time-for-a-Change Time for a Change]]'', they meet a young Zeref ''Dragneel'', which makes Lucy believe that he's a distant ancestor of her teammate Natsu Dragneel, which is helped when Zeref mentions that his dead brother's name is Natsu. This is proven wrong when Zeref follows the two girls back to the present, then glomps Natsu and calls him his ''little brother'', figuring out he succeeded in bringing him back to life.

** When Lucy asks Zeref where Cana, a notorious drinker, is, he takes her to Pinewoods Residental, a rehabilitation facility for alcohol and drug abuse. Naturally, Lucy concludes that Cana is in rehab and tries to break her out, only to find out that Cana is the head of security for the facility. Lucy then realized that Zeref never confirmed or deny that Cana was in rehab

* In ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13844307/1/DNA DNA]]'', which takes place years before the series, a [=DNA=] ancestry test Erza takes with the rest of the guild reveals she's not only related to the ancient Queen Irene from 400 years ago, but that she's her biological daughter, something Erza finds hard to believe even after the data was retested almost a 100 times and came back with the same result. The visiting King Toma suggests that Irene used time travel magic, a forbidden but known magic in modern Fiore,to send Erza to the future to escape a great war devastating the country at the time. With the known information at the time, it is an easier conclusion to come to than what really happened in canon[[note]]That Erza was in gestation for 400 years after Irene turned into a dragon[[/note]].

* [[LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero Siesta]] and the other commoners working at Tristain Academy of Magic in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9658968/1/ Enslaved]]'' take Saito speaking their language but not being able to read or write it along with being unfamiliar with the continent's geography to mean he grew up in an isolated village, probably in the mountains, where he'd never need to learn such things. Of course, Saito's actually from another world entirely.

* In ''Fanfic/SeventhEndmostVision'', Rufus is this for most of his first chapter. He is being escorted through the Bombing Mission by Tifa Lockheart, but he knows that ''can't'' be right; Tifa died five years ago in Nibelheim alongside her fellow 1st Class SOLDIER, Aerith. Nonetheless, Cloud- [[ChildhoodFriends who insists he knew Tifa]]- claims it's her, and the Tifa accompanying him both has the SOLDIER eyes and is a very competent martial artist. He ends up reaching a totally logical conclusion based on what his knowledge and his beliefs: Tifa trained a lot of fellow SOLDIERs in the Zangan-style martial arts, and he thinks [[NiceGuy Cloud]] is too trusting. Thus, he concludes that the "Tifa" he hired as a mercenary is, in fact, a 3rd Class SOLDIER who happened to ''look'' like Tifa, who was trained by her, and is working both to prey on Cloud's gullibility by pretending to be Tifa. He's completely wrong, as later events prove, but it's a rational thought to have given what he's seeing.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3655940/1/ Dark Memories]]'', Dumbledore comes to the conclusion that Harry is in contact with Mage and HAS been in contact with him through a common link: [[spoiler: Hagrid]].
* In ''Fanfic/{{Moratorium}}'', Harry thinks Professor Quirrell is a pedophile. [[ForegoneConclusion She's wrong.]]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8233288/1/Faery-Heroes Faery Heroes]]'' there's a vigilante known as Mr. Fox going around robbing and killing [[Literature/HarryPotter Death Eaters]]. Amelia Bones manages to question Mr. Fox when she almost captures him after he sacks Azkaban. His comments about the Unforgivables and the spell to cast the Dark Mark being "burned into his mind" and his disgust at Death Eaters going free after the war, lead Amelia to suspect he's a muggleborn who was Obliviated improperly during the last war after his family was killed. In reality, Mr. Fox and his unknown associates are Harry, Hermione, and Luna [[PeggySue who've been sent back in time to prevent the extinction of the Fae and kill Voldemort]].
* ''Fanfic/DodgingPrisonAndStealingWitches'';
** Harry Potter's brother John suffers from this twofold. First, when he's given a second chance to defeat Voldemort, John believes he's in a GroundhogDayLoop so when he can't win, willingly walks to his death, not knowing he was only given ''one'' second chance. Next, when John "awakens" to the timeline, he has memories of the first timeline and thinks he's in the second. In reality, he failed and is in the ''third'' timeline where Harry was sent back. He learns something's wrong when Ginny hates him and his parents talk about a mysterious Lord Slytherin.
** Having observed Harry all year, Voldemort realizes that Harry has his memories. Since long distance time travel is thought to be impossible, he comes to the reasonable conclusion that Harry somehow absorbed the soul fragment in his scar. Likewise Lucius Malfoy, whose time as a professional duelist has given him the [[AwesomenessByAnalysis ability to tell a lot about a person by analyzing their casting and dueling techniques]], figures out that both Lord Slytherin and Harry Potter duel like Voldemort does and assumes they're new incarnations of him from other horcruxes.

* In ''Fanfic/TheAwakeningOfAMagus'', after Fudge is shown evidence that he had compulsion spells on him, including one that made him trust Malfoy, he considers it an obvious frame-up attempt... after all, he trusts Malfoy anyway, so why would such a compulsion be used except as deception?

* The famous ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2g65jL3HDg split timeline explanation]] took a lot of evidence from the games to create a working timeline, with the split happening in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', due to the adventures of child and adult Link (either resulting in the Sacred Realm being protected or Ganon being sealed). Nintendo released the official timeline, which was a split timeline based on the actions of ''Ocarina of Time'', but there was a ''third'' split that hadn't been considered, a timeline where the Hero of Time [[TheBadGuysWin fails]].

* A somewhat darker example than most in "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13461834/ Spider-Who]]", an AU that introduces Mary Jane Watson to the MCU (Michelle Jones still exists as a separate character); at one point Mary Jane tells Spider-Man (still unaware of his true identity) that she has feelings for him and for someone else, and Peter assumes that the other person is Harry Osborn as Harry is rich, successful and confident in himself, when in reality the other person Mary Jane has feelings for is ''Peter Parker''.

* In ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'', when Asuka's synchro ratio drops, Ritsuko blames it on Asuka getting upset after Zeruel defeated her. A reasonable conclusion, since she doesn't know that Asuka "went through a hell that led to the destruction of the world, recently lost [[spoiler: her child]], then for some time her lover as well, now probably another close person, and is about to face that aforementioned hell once again."
* In ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'', Misato believes Kaji is peering at her cleavage when he's merely checking if she's still wearing her cross necklace. Kaji humorously notes she predictably leapt "to the wrong -but perfectly understandable- conclusion".

* ''Fanfic/ThoughABirdCantFlyThatDoesntMeanItNeverWill'' is a ''Manga/OnePiece'' AU featuring a universe where Kuina ended up blind instead of dead, and Zoro helps her become a talented swordsmen nonetheless. That's the backstory/prologue. The real story is Kuina misunderstanding Zoro's loyalty to Luffy as a forced slavery. Hilarity Ensues when we're shown outrageous {{Imagine Spot}}s revolving around "murderous, [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]], ManipulativeBastard" Luffy. Kuina is understandably shocked when she finally figures out Luffy's a kind, IdiotHero, and that Zoro (and "Prince Sanji's") loyalty is genuine.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12986165/4/A-Monster-s-Marriage A Monster's Marriage]]'', Roman Torchwick's introduction has him convinced that Jaune Arc is a master crime boss and a major player in the criminal underworld. He came to this conclusion because Jaune seems to be connected to and well liked by almost every other high-ranking criminal in the city; when in reality, Jaune is an oblivious NiceGuy who met these criminals through [[VillainsOutShopping rather mundane means]] or through his wife Cinder, who is an ''actual'' crime boss (though Jaune is unaware of that).
* ''at least it was here'': When Jaune walks into the kitchen without a shirt on, everyone sees that he has a long line of hickies along his chest. Since everyone ([[ObliviousToLove except Jaune]]) knows that Pyrrha is in love with him, they angrily order him to put a shirt on, hoping Pyrrha won't notice. They are of course unaware that [[FriendsWithBenefits Pyrrha was the one who gave him the hickies]].

** ''Fanfic/WhiteSheepRWBY'':
