* ''Series/DoctorWho'': [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]] focuses on a ForWantOfANail timeline in which [[spoiler:Donna Noble never met the Doctor and, as a result, the Doctor dies.]] Many of the present-day events from earlier in the season and the previous season are revisited with very different outcomes, usually involving a much higher body count.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': Given the rather linear progression of the canon story, there are quite a few stations that fanfic authors tend to check in at. If the story starts in Midgar, we will have the first job to destroy the reactor, and then the next, falling into the church to meet the flower girl, interrogating Don Corneo, the destruction of Sector 7, and finally the storming of Shinra tower. In some cases, the entire Midgar section can be skipped, but even if it is, there are still stations from later parts of the game that seemingly ''must'' be hit; at some point, they will go to the Temple of the Ancients to retrieve the Black Materia, followed by Aerith going to the Forgotten Capital to summon Holy (roll of the dice as to whether or not she survives in this instance). This will be followed by Meteor appearing and the WEAPONS being released and needing to be dealt with before a final confrontation, usually at the Northern Crater, and ending with the Lifestream being summoned to destroy Meteor before it can destroy the planet.

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders. Moving example to the correct section.


[[folder:Manhua]]
* Artistic license aside, ''Manhua/RavagesOfTime'' follows actual history closer than ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'', but it still alludes to the ''Romance'' version of events from time to time. There have also been several tie-in novels, and when it comes to revisiting scenes from the manhua it does so beat for beat, line for line.

* Many of the {{Wham Episode}}s and important lore events of the ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'' would be this, most notably the L'Manburg War for Independence, the L'Manburg Elections, the Manburg Festival, the Manburg-Pogtopia War, the Exile Conflict, Technoblade's execution by the Butcher Army, Tommy and Techno's team-up, the Doomsday War, the Disc Confrontation, the Red Banquet, etc. -- it technically depends on when and how the fic is set, so the plotline can turn out to be a mix-and-match of any of these events. Most notably, in a WhatCouldHaveBeen confirmed by WordOfGod, if Wilbur had won the L'Manburg Elections instead of Schlatt, a festival would still have occurred, with disaster going down all the same (minus the [[spoiler:public execution]]).

Added DiffLines:

* WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug:
** Usually, if the fanfic starts at Hawk Moth's initial reign, most of the akumas will be the exact same as canon, as well as events like discovering the Grimoire or the arrival of Lila Rossi. Often, the circumstances around how the person got akumatized will be the same as well.

Reverting a unilateral change as per Ask The Tropers


For example, if you have "someone else falls into the [[VideoGame/UnderTale Underground]]" Fanfic, you must cross over the Stations of The Fall Into Mount Ebott, The Encounter with the Flower, The Ruins' Puzzles, The Ruins Escape Attempt, and, depending on how you play things, The Napstablook Fight, all the way up to The Confrontation With Asgore -- all iconic moments that establish key points of the setting or characterization as the fandom knows it. In most cases, the reason for doing this is to show just ''how'' the divergence(s) has changed the story.
