History NeverMyFault / FanWorks

** When she uses the [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy reality-warping Wish]] to [[RoleSwapAU switch places with Marinette]], she expects Mari to be stuck in the role of being the one everybody hates while she'll be adored and admired. Yet their ''personalities'' remain the same, and Chloe finds that she's [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty lost all the protection]] being the Mayor's daughter afforded her... but continues to insist that Marinette ''must'' be bullying her, and is completely responsible for everybody shunning her.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26693095/chapters/83491480 Everything You Deserve]]'': Adrien makes a selfish Wish to [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy try and twist reality]] to his liking. When his requests aren't granted in ''[[ExactWords precisely]]'' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor the manner he desired]], he blames Chloe, noting that she was usually to blame for things going wrong at school, but since he was rarely the victim of her bullying and constant cruelties, [[ItsAllAboutMe he'd never really cared]].

** Along similar lines, she convinces herself that Marinette is suffering from the same effects due to her singular outing as Multimouse in the original world. When Nino suggests that Mari's occasional testiness with her stems more from Alya's attempts to meddle in her life, she dismisses the notion as less reasonable than her belief that Marinette is [[DrivenByEnvy secretly jealous of Lila's relationship with Adrien]]... despite how Marinette is happily dating Felix. And mostly gets annoyed with Alya whenever she's trying to separate them.

[[AC: ''Literature/TheHungerGames'']]

* ''FanFic/MaylusRevenge'' has Maylu pinning the blame of Roll turning against her in [[BrainwashedAndCrazy "Evil Empress Roll"]] on Roll all because she said she's ready for the "Super Great White Angel" when in fact, it was Maylu who suggested this strategy.

* ''[[Fanfic/BurnTheWitchMiraculousLadybug BURN THE WITCH]]'':

* ''[[Fanfic/ThinkBeforeYouSpeakMHA Think Before You Speak]]'':

* Discord's FatalFlaw in ''FanFic/BrideOfDiscord'' is this, as he blames Celestia and the ponies for the events that led up to his imprisonment, because they got mad at him for his reckless use of magic, instead of considering that maybe he it was his own fault and he shouldn't have let his anger get the best of him. This is taken to new extremes and played with later on, when he has a ''never your fault'' moment after Fluttershy seemingly says she doesn't love him and he takes it out on literally everyone in the immediate area '''except''' her.

* ''[[FanFic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]]'':

[[AC:''Manga/{{Naruto}}'']]

** Tenten badmouthed Naruto, who's considered a favorite grandson by the local [[TheDon quadrant boss]], and said quadrant boss right in front of both. She's flat-out told the sole reason she wasn't killed is because Naruto knocked her out and asked for mercy. But all Tenten cares about is that he beat her effortlessly at swordsmanship (Naruto gave her a sword then used a stick to beat her for an hour). As a result she wants him dead for humiliating her. She eventually grows out of it, especially when she tells Gai she hated Naruto for being better than her, and he asks if she "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion hated enough to kill]]".

* ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'': After Alya [[SayingTooMuch accidentally reveals]] that she knows about Lila's [[BlatantLies 'lying disease']], Ladybug [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech spells out]] how her SkewedPriorities and insistence on treating Lila as a 'trusted source' simply because she tells her what she wants to hear, declaring that the Ladyblog is blacklisted until she proves herself capable of doing honest research. Alya [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint dramatically misses her point]] and acts even more recklessly during the next akuma, insisting that Ladybug just needs to give her a chance to ''explain'' and that she hasn't done anything wrong.

* In ''FanFic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'', Wily has this problem big-time, blaming everyone for failures except himself.

* In ''Fanfic/DistanceWakesTheHeartUp'', when Alma gets angry that Mirabel left without telling her first, Julieta says that she did tell her and she didn't listen. Alma just scoffs that she should have tried harder.

** When Goh first informs Chloe's classmates that she's disappeared, the majority blow off the news in favor of [[SkewedPriorities wanting to see her match with Ash]] -- and mocking her mistakes. Goh calls them out on this, blaming them for making her so uncomfortable and unhappy, only to have the blame thrown right back in his face. Only after he breaks down crying do any of them acknowledge the role they played in driving her away... but as the story proceeds, {{Flashback}}s reveal just how extensive the bullying was. This comes to a head when Sara and Yeardley lead the class in ''bragging about'' how much they hurt her, [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming claiming that]] she brought it all upon herself for [[LonersAreFreaks being different]].

** Nino promises Marinette that [[RichBitch Chloé]] won't be involved with his movie, as she isn't interested in the project. Then Chloé finds out and forces her way in, threatening to [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections ensure he gets disqualified]] if he doesn't let her join. Nino deliberately doesn't warn Marinette, knowing she wouldn't come if she knew her long-time bully was involved, then acts as though that justifies the omission -- that ''she'' is honor-bound to keep ''her'' end of the promise despite him breaking his. Furthermore, he claims that it's [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming her fault she got bullied in the first place]], and that she wouldn't have suffered so much if she stood up for herself more.

** {{Defied|Trope}}. Elyon [[ItsAllMyFault completely takes responsibility]] for the Kage situation; even when she learns that someone went against her orders about Kage, she does not use that to deflate responsibility for herself, admitting that even without that her own actions against Kage were not any better.
** While Irma and Cornelia are horrified and feel guilty for their actions, at the same time they try to justify it and state that Kage chose to be their enemy, ignoring their actions that caused her to be their enemy in the first place.

* Peter Pettigrew clearly believes this in ''Fanfi/HarryAndTheShipgirls''. Yes, he betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort, but he believes that because he didn't actually do the deed, he is not at fault for their deaths. Ditto for selling out Molly Prewitt-Weasley's brothers to the Death Eaters

** Caleb is completely unwilling to admit that he was wrong about Kage, and sneakily tries to justify sending her to the dungeon against Elyon's orders, and when Elyon makes it clear that she plans to punish that person, it's implied that he will cover up his crime.

* Just as as in canon, [[spoiler: Junko]] has this trait in ''Fanfic/Class78thWatchesTheFuture''. Any time the class rightfully calls out Monokuma and the mastermind for forcing them to kill each other, [[spoiler: she]] mentally claims [[spoiler: she]] only pushes them to do so and that they're at fault, never mind the fact that [[spoiler: her]] methods of "nudging" them to murder include threatening their friends or loved ones, planning on exposing their darkest secrets that could destroy their personal lives, asking them to kill in exchange for huge sums of money, [[spoiler: revealing [[TheMole Sakura's allegiance to her]] to incite disharmony and betrayal, or swapping Sakura's suicide note for one that pushed Hina to attempt a TotalPartyKill]].

** V.V. refuses to take any responsibility for his and Charles’ plans going awry. [[spoiler:First when Optimus destroys the Japan Thought Elevator, V.V. mentally notes to himself that its not his fault. Then in ''R2'', he blames Optimus for ruining his plans, only for the Prime to fire back at him that he has no-one to blame for his failings but himself, due to how he constantly underestimates his enemies and "allies"]].

-->'''Makarov''': "FIRST YOU ATTACK HER! [[LampshadeHanging THEN YOU BLAME HER FOR YOUR INABILITY TO CONTROL YOURSELVES]]! YOU EVEN GO AS FAR AS TO CALL HER WEAK! YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR BOY! COME TO MY OFFICE!"

* Elly Patterson loves doing this in ''FanFic/TheNewRetcons'' though the rest of her family isn't exactly innocent either. One example is blaming April for letting Farley and Sera get together while Sera was in heat when neither Elly nor Sera's owner Connie had bothered to spay/neuter their dogs. (And remember, April was ''four'' at the time.) Elly was probably enabled in this mindset by Connie, who was always eager to blame everyone but herself for the alleged troubles in her life: she blamed Lawrence's homosexuality on Elizabeth, saying she didn't try hard enough to [[CureYourGays cure his gay]] and blamed Elly's madness and the chaos that ensued because of it on [[spoiler: Claire seeking out Elly, who was her biological mother.]]

** Bloo refuses to consider that he went too far with his latest prank on Mac from the episode "I Only Have Surprise for You". Bloo thanks that Mac is just being a baby and will get over it when Mac does not visit him, despite his former friends telling him that he went too far and Mac will never return. Bloo refuses to believe that, thinking that Mac will come back because he can't live without him. Three years later, when Mac still has not visited, Bloo, still in denial, decides to find Mac and force him back from his miserable life. Bloo finds to his shock that Mac is happy with a girlfriend named Sam and has a better relationship with his brother Terrence; Bloo goes home in shock, finally realizing that he lost his friend Mac and his life is better without him.
** {{Subverted|Trope}}. When Bloo complains that Mac is being a baby for not visiting him and that he gets over it because he is one step ahead, Wilt angrily slaps Bloo in the face. Wilt tells Bloo that he went too far with his prank and that since he has moved into the house, he mistreated Mac and everyone else. Wilt admits to Bloo that he does not know how he suckers him and everyone to join in his prank, but Mac is never coming back, and "we all are getting punished for what we did".

Most of the girls at the Hinata Inn suffer from this in ''Fanfic/AnAlternateKeitaroUrashima''. Naru, Motoko, Haruka and Granny Hina are all ''especially'' bad about this. Though Haruka at least later grows out of it after a HumiliationConga.

* Naru and Motoko also suffer from this to an extreme in ''FanFic/ForHisOwnSake''. No matter how badly they screw up, they both adamantly refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and will always pin the blame on somebody else, typically Keitaro. This is [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] as the tendency has caused them all manner of grief and loss of sympathy from everyone around them, but they ''still'' refuse to learn their lessons. However, as of chapter 24, Motoko has [[spoiler:''finally'' begun to avert this and realize that ''all'' of her misery was her own damn fault]].

* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13561742/1/Devilish-Savior Devilish Savior]]" features Trixie being abducted by Malcolm Graham when she's two years old, only for a fortunate chain of events to lead to her being adopted by Lucifer. When Chloe and Lucifer realise that 'Beatrice Morningstar' is Trixie, Dan immediately tries to push for her to be returned to him and Chloe even though the main reason Graham was able to abduct Trixie in the first place is that he got Dan so drunk Dan wasn't paying attention. Dan repeatedly denies that he is to blame for Trixie being taken, which only reinforces Lucifer and Chloe's refusal to give him any responsibility in raising Beatrice in the future.

* ''FanFic/LeaveForMendeleiev'':

* In ''[[https://cornholio4.tumblr.com/post/697129043459489792/never-to-be Never to Be]]'', Chat Noir has spent years fruitlessly pursuing Ladybug, refusing to listen to her insistence that she's not interested in him and never will be. After ignoring yet another dressing-down, he spies on her and overhears her remarking on her engagement, promptly confronting her in a jealous rage and demanding to know why he was LockedOutOfTheLoop. Once again, he proves to have NoListeningSkills, PlayingTheVictimCard despite how it was his own behavior that convinced her she couldn't share the news with him in the first place.
