* ''Fanfic/GazTasterOfPTSD'': Due to not being able to sleep due to her [[PlaguedByNightmares trauma nightmares]] of the pork-tasting incident, Gaz slowly starts going crazy. The nightmares get worse, she starts psychosomatically tasting pork again despite the curse not being active, and her personality overall starts fraying. This eventually leads to her [[FreakOut exploding on Torque]] when he mocks her with a pig's head, and she spends some time in a mental hospital before she finally starts getting better with Dib's help.

* ''Fanfic/{{Cain}}'': After [[ForWantOfANail witnessing All Might telling Izuku that he can become a hero]], Katsuki becomes increasingly obsessed with ensuring that never happens. So far as he's concerned, the only one ''worthy'' of being mentored by All Might is ''[[ItsAllAboutMe HIM]]''. Thanks to the preferential treatment and ego-stroking he's received at [[SuckySchool Aldera]], Katsuki struggles with the concept of not getting his way, failing to see how his various attempts at sabotage [[HisOwnWorstEnemy are destroying any chance he had of impressing All Might]]. He only spirals further out of control once Izuku [[spoiler:transfers out of Aldera]], culminating in him triumphantly declaring "This is the story of how I became a hero" while he [[spoiler:tries to suffocate Izuku with a VorpalPillow]].

* ''Fanfic/AFrozenFlower'': When you're an awoken ''lambero,'' there is absolutely no such thing as being sane all the time. Orchid is living proof of that — when her powers are triggered and begin going out of control, she experiences pain and begins to inadvertently destroy the room she's in and kill the life that's around her, while also [[{{Hallucinations}} hallucinating vividly.]] And that's to say nothing of the process of [[SuperPowerMeltdown "shelling out"]], which is essentially a ''lambero'' having their sanity dip the more they use their powers. A severe shellout can cause a ''lambero'' to either go completely insane, or in the worst case scenario, be killed by it, the latter of which became the case with Oz.

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': Some of the Titans -- not least the alien and telepathic Ghidorah -- have BrownNote effects on humans when they try to communicate, which can cause severe sanity erosion if it gets serious enough. After several months, the lingering telepathy in Ghidorah's decapitated head has caused Alan Jonah and some of his paramilitary whom have been spending time around the head to lose their minds: becoming increasingly withdrawn, depriving themselves of sleep, and believing that they can hear the head talking to them. Jonah experiences a personality shift and becomes eerily ''enthralled'' by the head in an almost religious manner, while one of his subordinates has a different reaction, clawing bleeding furrows into his temples with his ''fingernails'' and becoming suicidal. According to Word of God, the [[StockUnsolvedMysteries Dyatlov Pass incident]] in this universe was actually caused by a hibernating Titan's bio-acoustic ''sleep-talking'' driving the Soviet hikers insane.

* Creator/CoeurAlAran:
** ''Fanfic/ArcCorp'': The citizens of Mountain Glenn, after twenty years of being trapped in a time loop-esque anomaly which causes them to constantly reset, have gone completely insane and homicidal.
** ''Fanfic/TheEternalCrown'': Salem has taken over the world because centuries ago, she found a way to permanently disable Ozma as her adversary: she tortured him and broke his mind so thoroughly that the insanity carries over to any new host he possesses after his previous death, rendering him incapable of opposing Salem before her agents track down any host exhibiting the telltale signs and off them. Although Ozma's soul is showing signs of slight mental recovery in the show's present when he possesses Jaune.
** ''Fanfic/KnightOfSalem'': Getting unofficial "training" lessons from [[AxCrazy Tyrian]] of all people, which include randomly ambushing them, are enough to turn Team RWBY into unmatched fighting machines, at the expense of them turning their own dorm into a death-trap for any unauthorized intruders and also combing ''everywhere'' they set foot outside of the dorm for any sign of another ambush by Tyrian.
** ''Fanfic/{{Null}}'': [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain Jaune]]'s mental state takes a few major hits, on account of being betrayed, cut off from his only other allies and left for dead by Blake when he's a wanted fugitive on the run from a powerful conspiracy, [[spoiler:and on account of Team RWBY's intervention and lack of awareness getting his mother killed while he could only watch]].

At this point, several other characters have become aware of how insane Suzaku truly is, and believe that if Lelouch still cares for Suzaku, on ''any'' level, killing him would be ''merciful''.
