History Main / DeconstructionCrossover

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' emerges as this, deconstructing the popular [[FandomSpecificPlot conceits]] of Harry having different parents and the clichés of Super!Harry, Lord!Harry and SexGod!Harry, in which Harry mysteriously becomes [[TheAce hypercompetent]] [[InsufferableGenius at]] [[InvincibleHero everything]] and usually changes his personality for the worse, leading to a classic GaryStu. Instead, as the story demonstrates, he's very leery of more fame, cautiously happy about new/rediscovered family, and while he does develop new abilities, they tend to be rather difficult to get under control and cause more problems than they solve. In other words, he's still Harry Potter, albeit one who has to grow up rather quickly, though he does learn to assert himself more. He has massive potential, but for now the main issue is staying alive long enough for that potential to be realised. As for the sex god thing, as WordOfGod frequently points out, while Harry is a thirteen year old boy (the story starts in third year) who is quite cute once he loses the malnourished look and on course to be very good looking, very sweet in a dorky sort of way and has a functioning sex drive that he's just beginning to become aware of, he is still thirteen years old. On top of that, the new family, allies and powers is all very well, but [[RealityEnsues it also leads to lots and lots of new enemies and him being thrust into situations where he is very much out of his depth.]]
** The sequel, ''Ghosts of the Past'', initially seems to play the classic tropes straighter; having turned 14, Harry hits a growth spurt, becoming more classically TallDarkAndHandsome with a [[SkunkStripe 'mysterious' lock of white hair in his fringe]] and consequently being able to pass for closer to 18, he gets his massive powers under much better control, he's a great deal more confident, and [[UnresolvedSexualTension him and Carol]] spend a lot of their time [[BlatantLies absolutely-definitely-not-flirting-in-any-way-shape-or-form-whatsoever]]. However, those enemies mentioned above are still around, and when the first major arc, ''Forever Red'', seems ready to be wrapped up pretty early with a lot of raw power, a smart IndyPloy and a bit of XanatosSpeedChess, and Harry using his MagneticHero tendencies and the PowerOfTrust to induce a HeelFaceTurn in the villain's most powerful LivingWeapon subordinate who was programmed from infancy. Then, RealityEnsues: a bit of charm, genuine sincerity, and the PowerOfTrust aren't going to undo a lifetime of brainwashing (though they do have a palpable effect) and [[IndyPloy making up your plans as you go along]] is just asking for something to go horribly wrong - [[PoorCommunicationKills especially if you don't bother to tell friends, family, and allies what you're up to]]. The end result is an absolutely ''brutal'' TraumaCongaLine that nearly drives Harry insane, results in [[spoiler: his becoming the Dark Phoenix]], throws a significant chunk of the world into chaos, and leaves brutal psychological scars on Harry himself that take a very long time to even ''start'' healing.

* ''Fanfic/NoChanceForFate'' is a serious deconstruction of not only the FukuFic but also of the source material ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' and ''Anime/SailorMoon''. The standard plots for this kind of crossover are either outright averted or subverted, often mixed with lampshade hanging or snarky mocking. The absurd plot points of the source material are dissolved in RealityEnsues and of course add more snarking. Yet, all this manages to show the true strength of the heroes, who still fight for the right cause.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13094900/1/Practicing-Medicine Practicing Medicine]]'' is this for Medic/Mercy shipping and crossovers between ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' and ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' in general, showing just [[RealityEnsues how badly it would turn out]] if the two universes ever actually did meet. Mercy gets captured from her own time by the Medic, who becomes enamored by her. Unfortunately, being [[MadDoctor the Medic]], his way of showing his "love" for Mercy is [[ColdBloodedTorture medical experimentation on her without anesthesia]] ''Meet the Medic'' style [[spoiler: and repeatedly regrowing and harvesting her organs]], because he and the rest of the RED Team are too comically violent and/or insane to care.

* ''FanFic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'' is a deconstruction of the BlackAndWhiteMorality of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''. WarIsHell is in full effect, and the characters' black-and-white view of morality gets challenged almost ''constantly''.

** The famous JediMindTrick typically used by the good guys to outwit dumb mooks? It accidentally gets used on Weiss by Jaune when he asks her out on a date. Unlike in the Star Wars movies, this is [[PlayedForDrama played for absolute drama]] as Jaune has essentially {{mind rape}}d his friend into doing something that she doesn't want to. We are also shown what it's like for those being mind tricked afterwards. Weiss describes feeling as though [[PsychologicalHorror her own thoughts and emotions were being controlled by an outside force, all while she is consciously aware of what's happening and helpless to do anything about it]].

Unlike in the Star Wars movies, this is [[PlayedForDrama played for absolute drama]] as Jaune has essentially {{mind rape}}d his friend into doing something that she doesn't want to. We are also shown what it's like for those being mind tricked afterwards. Weiss can still feel the effects of being mind tricked and describes it as feeling as though [[PsychologicalHorror her own thoughts and emotions are being controlled, all while she is aware of what's happening]].

* ''FanFic/FantasyOfUtterRidiculousness'' can be considered a deconstruction of the FandomSpecificPlot of Yukari sending an outsider to Gensokyo[[note]]though in this case, it was the Watasuki sisters who were responsible[[/note]]. When said outsider is [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR Coop]] with his giant robot car in tow, Reimu and the others can't ''wait'' for him to leave.

** ''Comicbook/LostGirls'', with art by Melinda Gebbie, crosses the stories of ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', ''Literature/PeterPan'' and ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''. The deconstructive part comes where instead of fantasy tales, they're all converted into similar stories of sexual awakening, often taking place when the girls are quite young [[spoiler:and sometimes with [[ParentalIncest family members]]]].

* ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'' does this with fairy-tales and nursery rhymes.
* ''Comicbook/{{Twilight}}'', by Creator/HowardChaykin, did this with Creator/DCComics' [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] science fiction characters. No relation to ''Twilight of the Superheroes''. Or [[Literature/{{Twilight}} that book with sparkling vampires.]]
* The ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'' miniseries. The plot of the series was all about the differences between the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and Franchise/TheDCU. Compared to the DCU, Marvel is a CrapsackWorld, and compared to Marvel, DC heroes are just [[ComicBook/TheJoker one bad day]] away from BewareTheSuperman.

%% * ''FanFic/ADarkKnightOverSinCity'' explores the similarities and differences between the two comic franchises.
* ''FanFic/AbigailAndTheRatsOfNIMH'' brings together characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'', ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'', ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' and deconstructs the MouseWorld trope, exploring what would really happen if the oblivious humans in these kinds of stories actually started to notice the civilized rodents living among them. Naturally, NIMH becomes very interested.

* [[http://sire.thewebcomic.com/ Sire]] is a comic about the descendants of literary characters reliving their "Sire"s story and having to take cues and morals from the original work so as not to earn a tragic ending. Rare as the characters are aware of the trope and use the deconstruction as a means to survive.

* ''FanFix/WhiteDevilOfTheMoon'' makes [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha Takamachi]] the [[Franchise/SailorMoon reincarnation of Princess Serenity]] instead of Usagi and proceeds to poke holes at all the reincarnation plot points in ''Sailor Moon''.

* ''Fanfic/CodePrimeR1Rebellion'': ''Many'' tropes and character archetypes get shredded in this story.

!Examples:

** The idea of someone [[BadPowersGoodPeople using the Dark Side for good]] gets deconstructed. It's shown that due to its nature, anyone who tries to exercise restraint while wielding the Dark Side weakens themselves as the Dark Side is ineffective without negative emotions to fuel it. It's basically ''required'' to embrace emotions like anger and hate in order to use the Dark Side to its fullest potential.

[[folder:Fan Fic]]

* For ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', an easy crossover is to have Louise summon someone from another franchise. A one-shot story in ''The Beasts of Zero'' collection deconstructs the "a more competent character becomes Louise's {{Familiar}} instead" FandomSpecificPlot. Louise manages to summon a powerful familiar, [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon]]]], and She gets the EXTREME misfortune of summoning her when [[SealedEvilInACan she was sealed away]] and [[HeelFaceTurn not reformed yet]]. The familiar slowly but surely creates chaos as she attacks anyone that continuously mocks her and Louise (Kirche, Guiche, etc.) that the idea she has such a powerful-looking familiar is a silly joke. No one is laughing when the familiar finally gets fed up playing the game of slave and [[TheNightThatNeverEnds spreads eternal night over Halkeginia]] and [[CrapsackWorld rules over them]] as an EvilOverlord. No one can stop her, and Louise is forced to hide in shame [[NiceJobBreakingItHero for being the one that summoned her in the first place]].

No one can stop her, and Louise is forced to hide in shame [[NiceJobBreakingItHero for being the one that summoned her in the first place]].

* ''Fanfic/SleepingWithTheGirls'' brutally deconstructs the SelfInsertFic by demonstrating just what would happen if a person from the real world got sent to various anime worlds, but the rules of the real world applied to that person. It also demonstrates why having a GenreSavvy person from the real world in an anime world may not be the best thing for said anime world.
* ''Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMe'': The characters aren't getting along, and are not opening up to each other (Yugi and the others don't tell about Battle City, May and Max can't tell about Atem and his past), Pokemon are being subjected to monsters and power far worse than Team Rocket can do to them, and the characters are dealing with a world that will literally kill them without guilt.

No one can stop her, and Louise is forced to hide in shame [[NiceJobBreakingItHero for being the one that summoned her in the first place]].
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime''. The first season deals alternately subtly and heavily with the blood on [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor's]] hands, and the BigBad deconstructs him thoroughly every chance he gets. Literature/SherlockHolmes as a Companion starts out well... and then his own caring, protective nature is turned against him, his need for control is played like his violin, and what he turns into shows just how far wrong a Companion can go. ThePowerOfLove and ThePowerOfFriendship are played against the heroes in some truly terrifying ways... And then [[EverybodyLives it all gets healed]] if not quite Reconstructed in the end.

* ''FanFic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'' is a deconstruction of the BlackAndWhiteMorality of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''. WarIsHell is in full effect, and the characters' black-and-white view of morality gets challenged almost ''constantly''.

* The ''FanFic/CodeMarsTrilogy'' is this for ''Anime/SailorMoon'' in the world of ''Anime/CodeGeass''. The former is usually stuck with BlackAndWhiteMorality and are screwed up when choosing between the oppressive [[TheEmpire Brittanians]] and [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the Black Knights.]] Adding to this is how the Black Knights are an [[DarkIsNotEvil exception]] to the DarkIsEvil [[LightIsNotGood and]] LightIsGood tropes. Moreover, they're in a world of HumongousMecha instead of normal supernatural monsters. Unless the shots are well-placed, Knightmare Frames NoSell the Scouts attacks.
** In the course of the story, the Scouts [[DeconReconSwitch get over this.]] They start in episodes 19 and 20 by showing their true selves and joining the Black Knights, accepting the DarkIsNotEvil trope. This is supported with incidents like the [[spoiler: SAZ Massacre]] and when an actual ''Sailor Moon''-like villain comes in to side with Britannia. Bonus points when they [[spoiler: get their AceCustom Knightmares]], and encounter phantom-like {{Mooks}}, allowing them to fight enemies on the ground and against the [[MookMobile Mook Mobiles]].
* ''FanFic/AbigailAndTheRatsOfNIMH'' brings together characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'', ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'', ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' and deconstructs the MouseWorld trope, exploring what would really happen if the oblivious humans in these kinds of stories actually started to notice the civilized rodents living among them. Naturally, NIMH becomes very interested.
* ''FanFic/TheWeddingCrashers'' is a crossover between ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' that introduces the Winchesters and Castiel into the Twilght universe as friends of Leah just in time to attend Jacob and Renesmee's wedding, showing how the more-normal Sam and Dean react to a lot of things in the Twilight universe (imprinting, sparkling, the attitudes of the Cullens and their allies, the Cullens' spending habits, how little most characters in the series care about humanity) and finally blows up in the best possible way.
* ''Fanfic/MiraculousLadybugVsTheForcesOfEvil'' is a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' and ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug.'' While also something of a FixFic, it's also a deconstruction of both franchises in different ways. It's overarching view is a MonsterOfTheWeek plot of Ladybug, but contextualizes it using Star's more arc based plotting. Compared to the akumas Marinette and Adrian fight regularly, Ludo and his monsters lack gimmicks and just use straight forward brutality tactics to overwhelm foes who aren't Star and Marco. It shows that even if [[spoiler: Jackie and Marco had broken up in a different context]] that wouldn't mean Star and Marco would automatically get together. It laughs at Hawkmoth's egotism and how that's a direct contradiction to his supposedly noble intentions. And of course it's big deconstruction is on what would happen [[spoiler: the day Ladybug and Cat Noir lost]]. Answer? Feelings of betrayal, secrets revealed, and the end of them being [[spoiler: secret heroes]].

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5286519/1/Bleach-at-Youkai-Academy Bleach at Youkai Academy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6334262/1/Karakura-Adventures Karakura Adventures]]'', shows what would happen if an ExperiencedProtagonist like [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ichigo]] was given an UnwantedHarem, which is what ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' revolves around. Unlike Tsukune[[note]]Who does show up eventually, and is already in a relationship with [[spoiler:Mizore]][[/note]], Ichigo is not shallow enough to fall for the first pretty girl he sees[[note]]And even if he was, Moka is ''hardly'' the first beautiful girl he's met[[/note]], [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Inner Moka's]] arrogance rubs him the wrong way, and Moka's habit of feeding on his blood serves as a turn-off. [[spoiler:Ultimately, he falls for Kurumu, whom--being a succubus--better understands the concept of love than Moka, whose Inner side is in denial that she has feelings for Ichigo and keeps getting more self-entitled and mean-spirited as the story goes on, until Moka finally gets fed up and [[FaceHeelTurn joins Fairy Tale]] after Miyabi claims he can give her the power she needs to ''force'' Ichigo to marry her.]]
* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'', while showing Danny Fenton going on many dates, showcases many of the flaws of several of the characters Danny interacts with, based on how a (relatively) normal person would react to them.
** Some chapters often deconstruct the flaws several characters have through their interactions with Danny. Vicky and Cree show how someone would react to a child-hating villain.
** Tucker's CasanovaWannabe behavior also gets dragged through the mud, since it leads to dates that are almost always terrible.
** Katie Kaboom's transformations, which were meant to be comedic, are treated as horrifying to someone not from ''Animaniacs''.

* ''Webcomic/FiveYearsLater'' takes a swing at TheEarthPrimeTheory by having ''[[Franchise/Ben10 Eon]]'', a resident of a timeline that isn't the Prime Ben 10 timeline, declare that such a way of thinking basically assumes that all other timelines don't really matter.
* ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'': Quite a few parts of the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series are picked apart.
** In the games, you can wear any kind of armor you want, from any faction, with no penalty (unless it is explicitly faction armor, which only shows up in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''). When Littlepip wears some raider armor because she wanted some basic protection, she is immediately mistaken for a raider and shot.
** Addiction in the games is barely more than an annoyance; the penalty for withdrawal is minor, it can be relieved with another dose, and if it ever gets too bad, any doctor can remove the addiction for cheap. Littlepip, on the other hand, becomes more and more dependent on the Mint-als, to the point she can barely function without them, and the drugs cause a major schism between her and Velvet Remedy. And while a magical addiction cure does exist, it's pointed out that this does nothing for the psychological addiction, and Littlepip will always crave the drug for the rest of her life.
** Killing, even in self-defense, is intensely deconstructed as well. Both Littlepip and Velvet have extreme difficulty coming to terms with the fact they have to kill to survive, even in self defense, to the point that [[spoiler:Littlepip goes into an extended period of [[HeroicBSOD self loathing]] after wiping out a cannibal clan]], and Velvet [[spoiler:has a nasty BSOD after gunning down a tribe of Raiders, despite the fact they were both threatening innocents and desecrating her idol's home]].
** Remember the shooting range James sets up in the Vault 101 reactor chamber in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}''? The same story happens in Stable 29, but with a tragic ending: one stallion did the same thing for his son, who [[spoiler:accidentally shot the water talisman (the heart of the water purifying system), which doomed the complex to being murdered by the artificial intelligence programmed to control population levels by any means necessary so that they remain proportional to the amount of resources]].
** On the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' side, one of the themes is "corrupted virtues." The Elements of Harmony that the show espoused are great in theory, but can quickly become destructive without the key context of friendship. Corrupted Magic is obsessed with power, corrupted Kindness will help people without considering the consequences, corrupted Generosity with try to "gift" people something [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans they really don't want]], corrupted Honesty will tell the truth even if it gets people killed, corrupted Loyalty will follow the letter of a contract without care for the people, and corrupted Laughter can lead to trying to suppress all emotions and become a StepfordSmiler.
* ''Fanfic/KimiNoNaIowa'':
** ''Anime/YourName'' canon doesn't really dive into Mitsuha's mental scars. Here, though, more is done to show how having lost her mother as a child and subsequently being groomed to be the replacement heiress to the family shrine, as well as her father becoming a functional depressive and walking out on his daughters - something they admittedly weren't entirely innocent in - has left mental scars that still hurt even after more than 10 years, reconciliation and therapy.
** The shipgirl works' FandomSpecificPlot of "Natural Borns", shipgirls whose spirits {{reincarnat|ion}}ed into being born of human women and only coming into their true nature later, rather than being summoned from the afterlife either out of their own effort or through deliberate action, takes a few jabs. Ayaka finds her true nature and its muted reaction to things she thinks normal humans should be more concerned about worrying and wonders more than a few times about her own humanity. She also takes getting hurt on her first proper mission quite badly as her new nature hasn't completely overridden her once-human instinctual reactions.
** William D Porter usually gets depicted in shipgirl works, official and fanmade alike, as TheJinx or TheKlutz as derived from the ship's accident-prone history. It is usually PlayedForLaughs. Here, though, the impact of being so butterfingered you cause harm to allies and infamous for it has more serious consequences. She is fully aware that [[TheMillstone she is a burden who only brings harm to those around her]] and has developed suicidal ideation as a result.
* A FandomSpecificPlot for ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' tackles SupermanStaysOutOfGotham by crossing over with ''Franchise/TheDCU'' or other superhero series, with the young heroes calling for backup and not getting any support. Frequently because their cries for help [[CassandraTruth aren't believed]]. By the time any of the experienced heroes investigate what's happening in Paris, the Miraculous holders are generally embittered by their own experiences as ChildSoldiers. Other fics, such as ''Fanfic/WhatTheCatDraggedIn'', claim that this is due to concerns of what would happen if Hawkmoth were to akumatize a superhero.
* ''Fanfic/AsNApproachesInfinity'', a crossover between ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', serves as both a deconstruction and reconstruction to the series' respective worlds and characters.
** Homura Akemi, [[BrokenBird no matter how cold-hearted and jaded she became]], was a lonely, caring kid stuck between a rock and a hard place. She still cares deeply for not just Madoka, but the other Magical Girls as well, as they were some of her first friends and her first team. Any reminders of their deaths has her shut down emotionally, and when she realizes she finally has the opportunity to save them as well after countless loops spent forced to write them off as expendable, she breaks down in tears. Even the death of Karin and Yuzu causes her despair, in spite of only having known them for a week.
** The Incubators have operated for thousands of years, secretly gathering the countless souls of all the powerful, spiritually-aware girls they harvested. While they claim to store this energy to oppose entropy, once they learn about the King's Key and its ability to let them alter reality, they switch track and quickly start becoming the biggest threat the Shinigami ever faced. In the one timeline where they realize they'd been exposed, they turn Walpurgisnacht into a Hogyoku, devastating Karakura and killing most of Bleach's cast in one blow.
** However, with the direct support network and emotional support provided by Ichigo, his family and the Shinigami, the Mitakihara girls are able to stop themselves from losing their sanity and regain their footing, unlike in canon. It doesn't hurt that Orihime is able to not just purify Soul Gems, but revert Grief Seeds back into Soul Gems, and theoretically able to turn Soul Gems back into souls.
** For Kisuke Urahara, he was always considered a rather shady character, especially with his own tendencies to make long-term counter plans. These tendencies, while generally accepted by the Bleach cast, end up becoming counterproductive when working with Homura, who finds it difficult to work with Kisuke as a result and makes the other characters scrutinize him even more than usual.
** Mayuri Kurotsutchi, the resident TokenEvilTeammate of the Gotei, actually becomes more of a hindrance to the cast than an asset. This is precisely because of his amoral tendencies, which many fear will cause him to experiment on the Magical Girls ForScience instead of actually helping them. His cruel experiments also prove to be a terrible antidote to studying Soul Gems when he's finally given some; he ends up breaking several of them due to their delicate nature.
* ''Fanfic/PeaceOfMindPieceOfHeart'' deconstruction ToughLove. Catra attempts this with a cat girl named Marmalade she meets in her second car, forcibly pushing the scared child down a large slide. The kid gets hurt in the process, with Marmalade's friends and the child herself, calling out Catra for her unnecessary violence, causing Catra to run away out of guilt.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' deconstructs what happens if characters from one world get drawn into the ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain''. The Anime/{{Pokemon}} world has no idea what to make of it since the Train isn't connected to any legends regarding Pokémon. Those who actually ''have'' Pokémon are just as equally able to be attacked or harmed in some way whether they be hostile denizens, the Train itself or the Apex. And since the Train can pick up people from all ''types'' of worlds -- we have [[VideoGame/AngelsOfDeath Zack]] and [[Manga/HappySugarLife Satou]] briefly spare with one another -- then that ends up with the terrifying possibility of what type of mentally challenged people one can encounter on the Train itself.

* The fic ''Fanfic/ZuluSquadNoTsukaima'' is another deconstruction of "crossover character X" becoming Louise's familiar, in that the [[EliteMooks Zulu Squad sergeant]] from ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' ended up in Halkeginia because Louise performed the summon familiar rite twice. He ends up being more of a bodyguard than a familiar/slave/romantic interest. Being a ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' crossover, it also deconstructs crossover fics by subverting the WarIsGlorious aspect by showing the real horrors of [[WarIsHell fighting a medieval war with modern weapons]].

* ''Fanfic/JauneArcLordOfHunger'' is a crossover between ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'', specifically ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', and deconstructs elements from both franchises.
** The whole "dark anti-hero [[BadPowersGoodPeople that uses evil powers for good]]" ubiquitous in nearly every fandom gets deconstructed. Whereas a lot of these fanfics are just about power fantasies, here it's shown how this type of character would realistically turn out. Rather than appearing cool, Jaune comes across to the reader as a sociopathic {{Jerkass}} who regularly straddles over the MoralEventHorizon. Another feature common amongst these character types is the tendency to be a FixerSue. However, all Jaune does is create more conflict and he does nothing to change the outcomes of canon events. Eventually, he ends up becoming a bigger threat than the original villains ever were.
** The FandomSpecificPlot of turning Jaune into a DarkerAndEdgier AntiHero is deconstructed by pointing out how canon!Jaune is anything but a "dark, edgy badass". The story explores the actual process of making Jaune undergo such a drastic change and the end result is someone who is the mirror opposite of [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis everything Jaune once was]]. Jaune's friends even lampshade how completely out-of-character Jaune is behaving with his new darker persona. Rather than being treated as cool, it's depicted as tragic because it's an indicator of how much Jaune has been corrupted by the Dark Side.
** IJustWantToBeBadass gets deconstructed as the whole reason Jaune continues to rely on the [[EvilMask Mask of Nihilus]] is that he doesn't want to go back to being a TeamNormal. The powers he gained from Nihilus's mask finally made him feel special, hence why he refuses to get rid of the mask despite knowing that the being trapped inside the mask is manipulating him in order to break free. Even when everything around him falls apart because of his powers, he still hangs onto the mask to the bitter end.
** The idea of someone [[BadPowersGoodPeople using the Dark Side for good]] gets deconstructed. It's shown that due to its nature, anyone who tries to exercise restraint while wielding the Dark Side weakens themselves as the Dark Side is ineffective without negative emotions to fuel it. It's basically ''required'' to embrace emotions like anger and hate in order to use the Dark Side to its fullest potential.
** SealedEvilInACan gets deconstructed by showing what happens when the "Can" is already inhabited. [[spoiler:The whole reason that Darth Nihilus's mask is on Remnant in the first place was because some snarky droid thought that the planet would make the perfect prison for Nihilus's soul with little consideration given to the natives.]] It's also shown that this is a short-sighted move as it almost guarantees whatever's being trapped will be freed by the next generation. Every time Nihilus's mask was "contained", it was only a matter of time before some unwitting victim found the mask and freed him.

%% * ''Fanfic/HybridTheory'' by Blade and Epsilon does this for the classic anime MegaCrossover and SelfInsertFic.

** The whole "dark anti-hero [[BadPowersGoodPeople that uses evil powers for good]]" ubiquitous in nearly every fandom is deconstructed by showing what that would entail. Whereas a lot of these fanfics are just about power fantasies, here the story focuses on how using the Dark Side of the Force changes Jaune for the worse. Rather than appearing cool, Jaune comes across to the reader as a sociopathic {{Jerkass}} who's one bad day away from JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. Another feature common amongst these character archetypes is the ability to easily resolve all of the setting's conflicts. However, all Jaune does is create more conflict and he does little to change the outcomes of canon events. Under the Dark Side's influence, he ends up becoming a bigger threat than Cinder ever was.
** The FandomSpecificPlot of turning Jaune into a DarkerAndEdgier AntiHero is deconstructed by pointing out how canon!Jaune is anything but a "dark, edgy badass". The story explores the actual process of making Jaune undergo such a drastic change and the end result is someone who is the mirror opposite of [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis everything Jaune once was]]. All that's left is a twisted mockery of the Dark Side unrecognizable to his friends. By becoming "dark and edgy", Jaune gives up everything that made him likable to his friends, who preferred his old self and can tell that something's seriously wrong with him.

** The idea of a SealedEvilInACan gets deconstructed. This fanfic shows more-or-less what happens when the container being used to seal the evil entity is already inhabited. [[spoiler:The whole reason that Darth Nihilus's mask is on Remnant in the first place was because some snarky droid thought that the planet would make the perfect Can for containing Nihilus's Evil.]] It's also shown that this is a short-sighted move as it almost guarantees whatever's being trapped will be freed by the next generation. Every time Nihilus's mask was "contained", it was only a matter of time before some unwitting victim found the mask and freed him.

** The chapter "Legends" deconstructs SealedEvilInACan with the Mask of Nihilus. This fanfic shows more-or-less what happens when the container being used to seal the evil entity is already inhabited. [[spoiler:The whole reason that Nihilus's mask is on Remnant in the first place was because some snarky droid thought that the planet would make the perfect Can for containing Nihilus's Evil.]] It's also shown that this is a short-sighted move as it almost guarantees whatever's being trapped will be freed by the next generation.
