History RefugeInAudacity / FanFic

* Fanfic/FiveScoreDividedByFour deserves to be mentioned because Tom [[spoiler:really Rarity]] '''getting a private jet to avoid the cops. And a limo. [[spoiler: While her credit card is locked by the FBI]]'''
** Also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming because that uses up all of his [[spoiler:really hers]] life savings.

* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3446796/1/Magical_Relations Magical Relations]]'', one of the myriad "Harry Sorted into Slytherin" fanfics, Parsletongue is a teachable language. Naturally, Snape offers to tutor Harry in nonverbal magic, dueling, Occlumency, etc. for as long as it takes Harry to teach him to speak snake. Eventually, Harry is learning Leglimency to improve his Occlumency (highly illegal without Ministry permission, not that they care), but now TheUmbridge is around to poke her nose in. Snape first tries to cover up the lessons by giving Harry detention, but when Umbridge shows up to watch the private, Headmaster-approved lesson anyway, [[BavarianFireDrill they treat it like business as usual]], and Snape starts quizzing Harry on his Occlumency reading ''in Parseltongue''. When Umbridge demands to know what language that is, Snape tells her that it's naturally the [[BlatantLies Ancient Mayan Wizards' language of Uspantek, because Harry is aiming for a job as a cursebreaker]], and the only way to learn a language is through practice (naturally, Umbridge will be less than familiar with either language that has only a handful of living practitioners). When Umbridge eventually demands that they speak in English, Snape starts quizzing Harry on his advanced Arithmancy (for curse-breaking, which he has never taken), and subtly prompts his student to ''Leglimens the answers from his head.'' (Which is, again, highly illegal).

* ''Fanfic/AHero'': Dalek Sec's plans tend to fall into this trope. Considering his [[CosmicPlaything horrible luck at everything...]]
this means that his failures tend to go into EpicFail, ''because'' of this trope.

* ''[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=150127 An Entry with a Bang!]]'' has a part where an infantryman forces the surrender of a [[{{Battletech}} 'Mech pilot]] by strapping [=MREs=] to himself and pretending they're explosives. And then asks the pilot out on a date.

* In DCNation, this IS the bread and butter of Travis Grey (an OriginalCharacter Franchise/GreenLantern). A street kid and pickpocket, he steals Hal Jordan's wallet and spare ring. After donning the ring, he proceeds to go on a one-man cleanup spree through his rough New York neighborhood. [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/295143.html He then tops it]] by making a SarcasticConfession to Guy Gardner and Hal about his activities, chiding Hal to keep better track of his stuff, and all but ''daring'' the two veteran Lanterns to steal the ring back. Hal's ticked, but Guy's about to double over laughing.

* [[TheDragon Colonel Moran]] when explaining his disobedience to [[BigBad Professor Moriarty]] in ''[[Fanfic/DeliverUsFromEvilSeries Mortality]]''. Deliberately invoked at the end of the scene when Moran summons up ''the colossal audacity to flash a smile''.
** SherlockHolmes - and his protege Wiggins - tend towards this in the story, as well.

* ''Fanfic/MightyMorphinMechaRangers'': Let's list this out and see what we get. [[Anime/YuGiOh Seto Kaiba]] bought his own city complete with its own [[MobileSuitGundam Defense]] [[CallOfDuty4 Force]] that gets randomly attacked by [[MonsterOfTheWeek Powerful Monsters]]. So he blackmails [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Five]] [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Very]] [[TheBigO Different]] [[ZoidsNewCentury Mecha]] [[VisionOfEscaflowne Pilots]] to form a team to fight the monsters. Still there? It gets [[SerialEscalation more audacious as it goes!]]

[[AC: ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' ]]
* ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'' is a ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' fic that has this happen multiple times as well. For example, one scene in the "Mosaic" story arc has Jayne [[spoiler: ''[[IncendiaryExponent set himself on fire]]'']] and charge an enemy pirate crew. Later, int he "Silver" arc, Mal, Jayne, and Kaylee escape from a mansion full of soldiers by [[spoiler: escaping on a flying carpet while stark naked.]]

[[AC: ''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
* In ''Fanfic/GeorgeWeasleyAndTheComputationalError'', George's idea of getting unicorn blood for Voldemort is to possess his younger self while reading his own mind ([[ItMakesSenseInContext but not using the Imperius Curse on himself like he usually does]]) so he can go into a coma until a unicorn comes by, at which time he will return to his body and ask the unicorn if its willing to donate blood. It works.

[[AC: ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'']]
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7636166/1/Undoubtedly-Floundering Undoubtedly Floundering]] has this in spots. Such as a character who does drugs in plain view of everyone, giant crickets who live in the sewers, placenta related squick, Asian people being referred to as 'pandas', EVERYTHING in chapters 6-8 and [[spoiler: Dennis gluing rhinestones to his body to look like a Meyerpire]].

[[AC: ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* ''FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'' starts out rather mellow; a young Shinji Ikari finds a chest of Warhammer 40,000 miniatures and rulebooks, which leads to him having better relationships with his adopted parents and schoolmates, which leads to a self-confidence boost, which leads to many other things that help Shinji buck his numerous neuroses before Eva proper even begins. Once Gendo calls him to Tokyo-3, things start to get kinda cool. Shinji stomps a few angels, makes a few {{Badass Boast}}s, makes some new friends, and starts to have a lasting impact on his surroundings and fellow pilots. At some point, however, the author begins to slowly but surely ratchet up the degree to which the RuleOfCool factors into the plot, until suddenly the battle with Jet Alone happens and Shinji is holding a nuclear explosion ''in his hand'' and the reader is left looking around for [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann a guy with a sword and pointy orange sunglasses]] and wondering if they're still even reading an Eva fic. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Then]] [[CrazyAwesome things]] [[UpToEleven get]] ''[[SerialEscalation really]]'' [[HolyShitQuotient nuts]].
