* In ''FanFic/FateRevelationOnline'' Asuna, Silica, and Lisbeth go on a lengthy ChainOfDeals quest so a husband can get his wife a gift. They suss out it's a GiftOfTheMagiPlot but are unable to find the wife as Zolgen had eaten her before they arrived. The husband later went on an epic trek to find his missing wife only to also get eaten by Zolgen.
* In the crossover fic ''Fanfic/TheFirstSaniwa'', when Hiromasa sustains a WoundThatWillNotHeal, rendering any medical intervention by Yaobikuni moot, she decides to ask Yagen, Kasen and Izuminokami to gather ingredients for her so she can start experimenting on him to find a cure. However, when the three return with the ingredients, Hiromasa has already succumbed to TheCorruption from the injury before any experiments can take place. To make matters worse, Miketsu revealed in a flashback that said corruption ''cannot be dispelled without breaking the laws of nature'', meaning that experiments would have been meaningless anyway.
* ''FanFic/GundamSeedBloodlines'': [[spoiler: Feldt Grace]] is revived from cryostasis, revealing that [[spoiler: the events of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' happened in the past - however, someone went to great lengths to erase all evidence of Celestial Being's accomplishments from history.]]
* In ''FanFic/RobbReturns'', this is subverted. After all the efforts made to prevent it, [[spoiler:it seemed like Jon Arryn would still get killed by Lysa, but the Maesters manage to pull him through.]]
* While the whole story itself is not a ShootTheShaggyDog story, [[spoiler: Ryouko Otonashi]]'s character arc on ''Blog/ThePreDespairKids'' qualifies. The audience treats her with suspicion the second she arrives at Hope's Peak, [[spoiler: the boy she loves, Yasuke Matsuda, is murdered, and, due to her memory problems, she barely remembers any of it. And ''then'' it's revealed that she's a clone of Junko Enoshima, the one who ordered the murder of her boyfriend. And then it's revealed that said love is not actually dead, and was watching her because he was ordered to and not because he had any feelings to her. '''[[TraumaCongaLine And then]]''' he stabs her with a knife and kills her.]]
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' features a sidestory focused on Johanna. Her parents are in great need of surgeries and she needs to ''win'' the Grand Festival to pay for them. [[spoiler: She does succeed, but unfortunately the surgeries are not enough to save them. To top it off, she ends up facing serious financial troubles after they die.]]
* ''Fanfic/TalesOfTheUndiscoveredSwords'': Kiriha Sadamune has lost part of his memory due to being burned in the Osaka castle fire, so when he becomes human, he spends a lot of time writing his new experiences down so he won't lose them again. [[spoiler:The diary containing his writings is burned to ashes, and in ''the same fire that burned him'' to boot, when he is on his kiwame journey.]]
-->'''Kiriha:''' [[spoiler: ''(kiwame letter)'' Not only do my lost memories not return, my new ones are also lost.]]
** [[spoiler:[[EmotionlessBoy Sasa]][[BrokenBird noyuki]]'s whole kiwame journey essentially proves fruitless when a. he concludes he can't return to his old pre-traumatized self again, b. his depression returns and gets ''worse''.]]
** [[spoiler:Efforts to hold a fancy vegan dinner for [[StrawVegetarian Konotegashiwa]] under the saniwa's order in order to convince him to be vegan for reasons other than MortalityPhobia backfire when he still makes excuses to be a vegan jerk.]]
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18379229/chapters/43523042 All for Power]]'' (sequel to ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17641085/chapters/41598203 Another From of Power]]''): The {{HeroAntagonist}}s All Might, Aizawa, Sir Nighteye, Mirio and Bakugou search for a way to bring down the popular politician [[VillainProtagonist Imoku Kakurete]] [[spoiler: (an [[PlotReleventAgeUp aged up]] Izuku Midoriya trained and groomed by All for One to be a politician)]], who had [[EndOfAnEra dismantled Japan's Hero Society]] a decade before during the previous story and to try to bring back said society. [[spoiler: ... [[OutGambitted Just to learn too late that not only was Imoku fully aware of their search, revealing his connection to the League of Villains to them, but he had fooled them into thinking that they would succeed]], especially [[UnwittingPawn Bakugou, who unknowingly helped purged some of the less loyal members of the League for Imoku.]] The heroes are all killed, having only succeeded in bringing a permanent end to the Era of Heroes.]]
