These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

!!The series contain examples of:
*AbnormalAmmo: The UV and silver nitrate bullets are used as in canon.
*ActionGirl: Naturally applies to Selene; Erika tries to assist, but concludes that she isn’t a natural fighter.
*AmnesiaMissedASpot: Even without her memories, Erika immediately recognises the Doctor’s scent (even though she last smelled him before she acquired vampire-enhanced senses), and also finds herself attracted to him.
*ArtisticLicenceBiology:
** The Doctor’s research into the history of the vampires and lycans leads to him concluding that the virus that transformed the Vorvinus siblings was a form of rabies before it was mutated by their unique biology.
** A minor example; Selene notes that the process of turning a human into a vampire has a rejuvenating effect, to justify how Erika can be Reinette when she doesn’t look forty-three.
*AscendedExtra: From the perspective of ''Underworld'' fans, Erika goes from being the servant trying to win Kraven’s affection to an ally in Selene’s efforts and a love interest for the Doctor, [[spoiler:to the extent that once the crisis is over, Selene makes Reinette a shareholder in Ziodex so that she has access to money for later even as Reinette starts travelling with the Doctor]].
*BerserkButton: The Doctor [[spoiler:shoots Kraven in the heart with an ultraviolet bullet for shooting Erika]] and later hits Tanis when he refers to Erika as a whore.
*BigDamnHeroes: The Doctor and Erika pull one off when they assist Selene and Michael in escaping Marcus, the Doctor driving up behind their stolen van so that Erika can shoot Marcus’s wings.
*BrokenPedestal: Selene initially speculated that Viktor would appreciate the chance to meet a being from another world, but after she awakens him she acknowledges that Viktor’s blind prejudice against lycans will limit his views, even before she learns of Viktor’s role in her family’s deaths.
*ContrivedCoincidence: A minor example; Erika jumps out of a window, and by the time she reaches the ground, the TARDIS has materialised in such a position that she manages to land on top of it.
*ContinuitySnarl: A minor example; as this was written before ''Rise of the Lycans'', reference is made to the events of the novel ''Blood Enemy'' when discussing Lucian and Sonja’s relationship, including how Sonja was arranged to marry Marcus’s son only for her to fall in love with Lucian instead (although none of the information disclosed in the films rules out the idea that Viktor was making such arrangements).
*DaywalkingVampire: [[spoiler:Selene and Erika/Reinette both become these at the end]].
*DefrostingIceQueen: More explicitly than in canon for Selene, as she shows genuine concern for the Doctor and Erika/Reinette even when she knows they won’t be assets in a fight, [[spoiler:and later shows signs that she will take over as the head of the vampires’ operations in a manner that will require more regular interaction with humans]].
*DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaptation:
** Amelia lives for a few more hours when Selene is able to warn Kahn about Soren’s planned treachery, [[spoiler:but she is still killed during the raid on the lycan base when Lucian shoots her with ultraviolet bullets]].
** Instead of being killed by Marcus, [[spoiler:Kraven is shot by the Doctor]].
*DistinguishingMark: The Doctor confirms that Erika is Reinette rather than just a surprising doppelganger because she has a distinctive birthmark under her arm.
*DramaPreservingHandicap: The Doctor is prevented from trying to help Michael understand what’s happening to him when Michael freaks out upon first seeing the TARDIS and knocks the Doctor out in a panic.
*EveryoneHasStandards: The Doctor still disapproves of killing as a first option, but doesn’t voice any objections when Selene confirms that she’ll kill Singe after he’s been interrogated after the Doctor’s seen the experiments he conducted on other Corvinus descendants, and later recognises that Marcus’s ambitions are too dangerous for them to try and simply talk him down.
*EvilCannotComprehendGood: Invoked when [[spoiler:Marcus feeds on the Doctor, as he suffers a psychological breakdown because he can’t emotionally cope with the scale of loss that the Doctor has experienced during his lives and the emotions that accompanied it]].
*FakingTheDead: In the final confrontation with Marcus, [[spoiler:the Doctor stops his hearts while Marcus is feeding on him so that Marcus won’t drain him to the point of death, anticipating that his allies will be able to stop Marcus and get him to the TARDIS for treatment]].
*FamedInStory: While he only learns of the Corvinus vampires and lycans during this encounter, the Doctor learns that Tanis and Alexander Corvinus have already read about his appearances across history, to the extent that Alexander has hacked UNIT files to learn more about the Doctor’s true nature. Tanis observes that the Doctor has such a lethal reputation that Selene should be grateful the Doctor doesn’t consider her an enemy while Alexander notes that it’s an honour to meet the Doctor after reading about him for so long.
*FantasticRacism: Viktor demonstrates this towards lycans as in canon.
*GoodSamaritan: Michael demonstrates this as in canon, although the Doctor ends up taking over some of his later moments.
*HeelRealization: Selene has a minor one when she realises that in all her years of fighting lycans, she never considered the risks of humans getting their hands on an immortal’s body.
*HeroicBSOD: In an interesting variation, [[spoiler:Marcus is forced to experience one after he drinks from the Doctor, as he can’t cope with the losses that the Doctor has suffered over the centuries and briefly shows signs that he is reliving the end of the Time War from the Doctor’s perspective]].
*IHatePastMe: Invoked when [[spoiler:Reinette looks back on her time as Erika, embarrassed at the lengths she would have gone to for Kraven’s attention when he would have just used and discarded her]].
*IdentityAmnesia: A key subplot is the Doctor’s efforts to find a way to restore Erika’s memories of her life as Reinette, which he eventually learns have been suppressed by Marcus; Erika has spent the last few decades believing that she was just a cabaret singer in Berlin who was dying of consumption before Soren turned her, when in reality she was turned by Marcus in Versailles over two centuries ago.
*InternalReveal: Selene learns of Lucian’s plan earlier than she did in canon when the Doctor infiltrates the lycan lab and shares his discoveries with her.
*InternalizedRacism: The Doctor speculates that Viktor was subject to this, as a being of Viktor’s prejudices wouldn’t have liked to be reminded that he wasn’t a pure-born vampire like Marcus even if he made every effort to hide this fact from the general populace.
*ItsPersonal: The Doctor initially regards the discovery of the war as just another crisis for him to resolve, but acknowledges that it’s become personal when he recognises Erika as Reinette.
*KilledOffscreen: Unlike in canon, where he survived until the final attack on the lycan base, Soren is killed by Amelia when his treachery is exposed and this fact is only disclosed after she returns to the mansion.
*ManipulativeBastard: Viktor shows this as in canon, with Tanis disclosing the extent of his schemes to the Doctor, Selene, Erika and Michael.
*TheMasquerade: Tanis observes the value of humanity not learning about the existence of immortals, [[spoiler:and the series ends with the implication that Selene and Michael will be able to maintain the secret now that the war is over and Selene has returned to take command of the coven’s resources]].
*MeaningfulName:
**After Selene introduces herself, the Doctor muses that it’s fitting for a vampire to be named after a moon goddess.
**When Selene first mentions Kraven, the Doctor reflects on the implications of the name, listing terms such as ‘craven thief, craven liar, craven conformist’, and concludes that he doesn’t like Kraven even without meeting him.
*MrExposition: Tanis provides the backstory for the conflict to the Doctor and his new allies, while the Doctor fills in his own observations.
*MySkullRunnethOver: [[spoiler:Marcus and Erika/Reinette both have to deal with this after Marcus feeds on the Doctor, but where Marcus was driven insane due to his inability to cope with the Doctor’s grief, Reinette is better able to process it]].
*NotSoDifferent: The Doctor and Alexander Corvinus are both immortals who have been guarding humanity for centuries, but the Doctor still disapproves of how Alexander has allowed the war to continue simply because the old man couldn’t kill his children after the Doctor was forced to destroy his own people to stop a greater war.
*OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When the Doctor sees Kraven [[spoiler:after the vampire has shot Erika, the normally anti-violence Doctor just pulls out a gun and shoots Kraven in the head]].
*OhCrap: The idea of Marcus getting his hands on a time machine even prompts a moment of explicit shock from the normally controlled Selene.
*OmnidisciplinaryScientist: The Doctor fills this role as always, quickly determining how humans can become vampires and lycans and later analysing the history of the coven from various perspectives.
*PaperThinDisguise: When the Doctor infiltrates the manor, Selene gives him a coat belonging to one of her deceased Death Dealer allies so that he can accompany her to the library, but acknowledges that he will only pass for a Death Dealer under casual inspection.
*PlausibleDeniability: While Selene gives the Doctor a possible route into the mansion, she makes it clear to him that she won’t vouch for him if he’s caught.
*RagtagBandOfMisfits: Tanis observes that Selene’s new ‘team’ of herself, Erika, Michael and the Doctor is basically this, explicitly asking when Selene started to work with a ‘freak squad’; Michael responds with the observation that all they need is a theme song.
*RealityEnsues: Even after [[spoiler:Erika regains her memories of Reinette, she recognises that she doesn’t have any applicable skills that would allow her to survive on her own in the present day, reinforcing her decision to travel with the Doctor]].
*ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Selene is stunned to learn that she’s spent decades dismissing Erika as just a servant whore when in reality she was not only a lady before she became a vampire, but the official mistress of the King of France.
*TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Doctor doesn’t deliver one to Alexander Corvinus directly, but as he and Erika travel to retrieve the TARDIS, he denounces the idea that Alexander can be excused for not wanting to kill his children to stop the war when the Doctor had to destroy his entire planet to stop a greater war for the sake of the universe.
*RelatedInTheAdaptation: A minor example; the Doctor muses (and Tanis confirms) that Viktor’s wife was a distant relative of the Corvinus family, specifically ‘chosen’ by Viktor so that he could link his own bloodline to the Corvinus family, making Sonja another relative of Alexander Corvinus.
*RememberTheNewGuy: As it turns out, Marcus was present at the party where Reinette met the king while dancing with the Doctor, but never took action because the Doctor disappeared too quickly and taking Reinette after she attracted the king’s interest would have drawn too much attention.
*ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Erika does this more explicitly after Viktor is awakened, as she recognises that she is going to be in trouble for helping Selene and the Doctor once Viktor’s sorted through Selene’s memories and chooses to flee the manor with Selene.
*SecretTestOfCharacter: Not exactly a ‘secret’, but Selene muses that part of the reason she makes the Doctor get into the mansion by himself is to test his abilities, and hence his worth as an ally.
*SequelEpisode: From the Doctor’s perspective, this encounter is a follow-up to “[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E4TheGirlInTheFireplace The Girl in the Fireplace]]” as he is reunited with Reinette.
*SmallRoleBigImpact:
** From a certain perspective, this applies to the Doctor; [[spoiler:he doesn’t have much impact on the overall plot, as Selene and Michael would have defeated Viktor and Marcus even without him, but thanks to his presence, Erika survives to learn her true identity of Reinette]].
** On a wider note, [[spoiler:it is tempting to consider that the Doctor’s aid in getting the group back to Budapest after Marcus’s death allows Selene to more effectively re-establish the coven’s human contacts in order to maintain the masquerade and prevent humanity learning about the immortals as they did between ''Evolution'' and ''Awakening'']].
*SparedByTheAdaptation:
** A minor example; the Doctor manages to save Lucian and Singe’s unnamed, pre-Michael test subject, and gets the man to a hospital, rather than leaving him to bleed to death in the lab.
** While she died ‘offscreen’ in canon, here Erika survives [[spoiler:and goes on to regain her old identity of Reinette]].
*StarCrossedLovers: Selene and Michael (an augmented vampire and a vampire/werewolf hybrid) and the Doctor and Erika/Reinette (an alien and an augmented vampire)
*TheStarscream: Kraven is still a traitor, but he proves to be even less effective than he was in canon, as the Doctor tips Selene off to his allies’ plans in advance and helps her expose Soren’s assassination attempt on Amelia.
*TakeAThirdOption: Defied; while the Doctor expresses a wish that they could find a peaceful solution to Marcus’s plans to release William, faced with Marcus’s ambitions for world domination with William as his enforcer, he recognises that they don’t have the time to do anything other than kill Marcus.
*TokenGoodTeammate: Tanis’s words suggest that this was the case for Amelia in the Elders, as she was basically turned to act as a buffer between Viktor and Marcus’s conflicting desires for William’s fate, Tanis noting that Amelia and Marcus were actually lovers for a time.
*TokenNonHuman: Arguably applies to the Doctor, as Selene, Erika/Reinette and Michael were all human at one point whereas the Doctor was always an alien.
*UnknownRival: While the Doctor expresses his disapproval of Viktor after learning about his role in starting the war, it is unclear if Viktor was ever even aware of the Doctor’s existence, as he never mentions him when talking with Selene about her ‘crimes’, Selene speculating that her memories may have been so jumbled that Viktor didn’t ‘remember’ the Doctor.
*UnskilledButStrong: Michael has no combat training, but he still manages to tear through most standard enemies even when protecting the Doctor and Erika/Reinette.
*VillainBall: Assuming that the lycans can be considered the ‘villains’ when following Kraven’s plan for a coup, this applies to their use of the ultraviolet ammunition, as it tipped Selene off to the idea that the lycans were planning something big and had more resources than the coven officially expected.
*WeakButSkilled: The Doctor might be the physically weakest member of the group, but Selene recognises that he has ulterior talents that could make him just as formidable as the others in a fight.
*WellIntentionedExtremist: As in canon, Lucian’s actions amount to trying to save his species, while Viktor tries to present himself as such even if the idea doesn’t hold up once the Doctor and Selene learn the truth.
*WomanScorned: After realising how much she has been manipulated, Erika vows to assist the Doctor and Selene in their investigations even before she fully regains her memories of Reinette.
This series consists of two fics; [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3141209/1/Eyes-on-a-Moon-of-Blindness Eyes on a Moon of Blindness]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3199628/1/The-Ground-Beneath-Her-Feet The Ground Beneath My Feet]], incorporating the Doctor into the events of ''Underworld'' and ''Underworld: Evolution'' respectively.
!!The series contain examples of:
*AbnormalAmmo: The UV and silver nitrate bullets are used as in canon.
*ActionGirl: Naturally applies to Selene; Erika tries to assist, but concludes that she isn’t a natural fighter.
*AmnesiaMissedASpot: Even without her memories, Erika immediately recognises the Doctor’s scent (even though she last smelled him before she acquired vampire-enhanced senses), and also finds herself attracted to him.
*ArtisticLicenceBiology:
** The Doctor’s research into the history of the vampires and lycans leads to him concluding that the virus that transformed the Vorvinus siblings was a form of rabies before it was mutated by their unique biology.
** A minor example; Selene notes that the process of turning a human into a vampire has a rejuvenating effect, to justify how Erika can be Reinette when she doesn’t look forty-three.
*AscendedExtra: From the perspective of ''Underworld'' fans, Erika goes from being the servant trying to win Kraven’s affection to an ally in Selene’s efforts and a love interest for the Doctor, [[spoiler:to the extent that once the crisis is over, Selene makes Reinette a shareholder in Ziodex so that she has access to money for later even as Reinette starts travelling with the Doctor]].
*BerserkButton: The Doctor [[spoiler:shoots Kraven in the heart with an ultraviolet bullet for shooting Erika]] and later hits Tanis when he refers to Erika as a whore.
*BigDamnHeroes: The Doctor and Erika pull one off when they assist Selene and Michael in escaping Marcus, the Doctor driving up behind their stolen van so that Erika can shoot Marcus’s wings.
*BrokenPedestal: Selene initially speculated that Viktor would appreciate the chance to meet a being from another world, but after she awakens him she acknowledges that Viktor’s blind prejudice against lycans will limit his views, even before she learns of Viktor’s role in her family’s deaths.
*ContrivedCoincidence: A minor example; Erika jumps out of a window, and by the time she reaches the ground, the TARDIS has materialised in such a position that she manages to land on top of it.
*ContinuitySnarl: A minor example; as this was written before ''Rise of the Lycans'', reference is made to the events of the novel ''Blood Enemy'' when discussing Lucian and Sonja’s relationship, including how Sonja was arranged to marry Marcus’s son only for her to fall in love with Lucian instead (although none of the information disclosed in the films rules out the idea that Viktor was making such arrangements).
*DaywalkingVampire: [[spoiler:Selene and Erika/Reinette both become these at the end]].
*DefrostingIceQueen: More explicitly than in canon for Selene, as she shows genuine concern for the Doctor and Erika/Reinette even when she knows they won’t be assets in a fight, [[spoiler:and later shows signs that she will take over as the head of the vampires’ operations in a manner that will require more regular interaction with humans]].
*DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaptation:
** Amelia lives for a few more hours when Selene is able to warn Kahn about Soren’s planned treachery, [[spoiler:but she is still killed during the raid on the lycan base when Lucian shoots her with ultraviolet bullets]].
** Instead of being killed by Marcus, [[spoiler:Kraven is shot by the Doctor]].
*DistinguishingMark: The Doctor confirms that Erika is Reinette rather than just a surprising doppelganger because she has a distinctive birthmark under her arm.
*DramaPreservingHandicap: The Doctor is prevented from trying to help Michael understand what’s happening to him when Michael freaks out upon first seeing the TARDIS and knocks the Doctor out in a panic.
*EveryoneHasStandards: The Doctor still disapproves of killing as a first option, but doesn’t voice any objections when Selene confirms that she’ll kill Singe after he’s been interrogated after the Doctor’s seen the experiments he conducted on other Corvinus descendants, and later recognises that Marcus’s ambitions are too dangerous for them to try and simply talk him down.
*EvilCannotComprehendGood: Invoked when [[spoiler:Marcus feeds on the Doctor, as he suffers a psychological breakdown because he can’t emotionally cope with the scale of loss that the Doctor has experienced during his lives and the emotions that accompanied it]].
*FakingTheDead: In the final confrontation with Marcus, [[spoiler:the Doctor stops his hearts while Marcus is feeding on him so that Marcus won’t drain him to the point of death, anticipating that his allies will be able to stop Marcus and get him to the TARDIS for treatment]].
*FamedInStory: While he only learns of the Corvinus vampires and lycans during this encounter, the Doctor learns that Tanis and Alexander Corvinus have already read about his appearances across history, to the extent that Alexander has hacked UNIT files to learn more about the Doctor’s true nature. Tanis observes that the Doctor has such a lethal reputation that Selene should be grateful the Doctor doesn’t consider her an enemy while Alexander notes that it’s an honour to meet the Doctor after reading about him for so long.
*FantasticRacism: Viktor demonstrates this towards lycans as in canon.
*GoodSamaritan: Michael demonstrates this as in canon, although the Doctor ends up taking over some of his later moments.
*HeelRealization: Selene has a minor one when she realises that in all her years of fighting lycans, she never considered the risks of humans getting their hands on an immortal’s body.
*HeroicBSOD: In an interesting variation, [[spoiler:Marcus is forced to experience one after he drinks from the Doctor, as he can’t cope with the losses that the Doctor has suffered over the centuries and briefly shows signs that he is reliving the end of the Time War from the Doctor’s perspective]].
*IHatePastMe: Invoked when [[spoiler:Reinette looks back on her time as Erika, embarrassed at the lengths she would have gone to for Kraven’s attention when he would have just used and discarded her]].
*IdentityAmnesia: A key subplot is the Doctor’s efforts to find a way to restore Erika’s memories of her life as Reinette, which he eventually learns have been suppressed by Marcus; Erika has spent the last few decades believing that she was just a cabaret singer in Berlin who was dying of consumption before Soren turned her, when in reality she was turned by Marcus in Versailles over two centuries ago.
*InternalReveal: Selene learns of Lucian’s plan earlier than she did in canon when the Doctor infiltrates the lycan lab and shares his discoveries with her.
*InternalizedRacism: The Doctor speculates that Viktor was subject to this, as a being of Viktor’s prejudices wouldn’t have liked to be reminded that he wasn’t a pure-born vampire like Marcus even if he made every effort to hide this fact from the general populace.
*ItsPersonal: The Doctor initially regards the discovery of the war as just another crisis for him to resolve, but acknowledges that it’s become personal when he recognises Erika as Reinette.
*KilledOffscreen: Unlike in canon, where he survived until the final attack on the lycan base, Soren is killed by Amelia when his treachery is exposed and this fact is only disclosed after she returns to the mansion.
*ManipulativeBastard: Viktor shows this as in canon, with Tanis disclosing the extent of his schemes to the Doctor, Selene, Erika and Michael.
*TheMasquerade: Tanis observes the value of humanity not learning about the existence of immortals, [[spoiler:and the series ends with the implication that Selene and Michael will be able to maintain the secret now that the war is over and Selene has returned to take command of the coven’s resources]].
*MeaningfulName:
**After Selene introduces herself, the Doctor muses that it’s fitting for a vampire to be named after a moon goddess.
**When Selene first mentions Kraven, the Doctor reflects on the implications of the name, listing terms such as ‘craven thief, craven liar, craven conformist’, and concludes that he doesn’t like Kraven even without meeting him.
*MrExposition: Tanis provides the backstory for the conflict to the Doctor and his new allies, while the Doctor fills in his own observations.
*MySkullRunnethOver: [[spoiler:Marcus and Erika/Reinette both have to deal with this after Marcus feeds on the Doctor, but where Marcus was driven insane due to his inability to cope with the Doctor’s grief, Reinette is better able to process it]].
*NotSoDifferent: The Doctor and Alexander Corvinus are both immortals who have been guarding humanity for centuries, but the Doctor still disapproves of how Alexander has allowed the war to continue simply because the old man couldn’t kill his children after the Doctor was forced to destroy his own people to stop a greater war.
*OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When the Doctor sees Kraven [[spoiler:after the vampire has shot Erika, the normally anti-violence Doctor just pulls out a gun and shoots Kraven in the head]].
*OhCrap: The idea of Marcus getting his hands on a time machine even prompts a moment of explicit shock from the normally controlled Selene.
*OmnidisciplinaryScientist: The Doctor fills this role as always, quickly determining how humans can become vampires and lycans and later analysing the history of the coven from various perspectives.
*PaperThinDisguise: When the Doctor infiltrates the manor, Selene gives him a coat belonging to one of her deceased Death Dealer allies so that he can accompany her to the library, but acknowledges that he will only pass for a Death Dealer under casual inspection.
*PlausibleDeniability: While Selene gives the Doctor a possible route into the mansion, she makes it clear to him that she won’t vouch for him if he’s caught.
*RagtagBandOfMisfits: Tanis observes that Selene’s new ‘team’ of herself, Erika, Michael and the Doctor is basically this, explicitly asking when Selene started to work with a ‘freak squad’; Michael responds with the observation that all they need is a theme song.
*RealityEnsues: Even after [[spoiler:Erika regains her memories of Reinette, she recognises that she doesn’t have any applicable skills that would allow her to survive on her own in the present day, reinforcing her decision to travel with the Doctor]].
*ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Selene is stunned to learn that she’s spent decades dismissing Erika as just a servant whore when in reality she was not only a lady before she became a vampire, but the official mistress of the King of France.
*TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Doctor doesn’t deliver one to Alexander Corvinus directly, but as he and Erika travel to retrieve the TARDIS, he denounces the idea that Alexander can be excused for not wanting to kill his children to stop the war when the Doctor had to destroy his entire planet to stop a greater war for the sake of the universe.
