43* In ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'', it's established that Irkens don't do family units, but that genetic samples are usually taken from donors and used to create new smeets, with varying levels of anonymity. Because of this, Vero and Xia (and later Ven) know that Tallest Red is one of their donors, but don't know who the other one is -- and thus it's a massive surprise to Xia when she learns that said donor is Zim.

60
61[[AC: ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'']]
62* A ''very'' common FandomSpecificPlot is the reveal that Izuku's father is All For One. The fact that Izuku's ''actual'' father is TheGhost, combined with Kohei Horikoshi's love of ''Franchise/StarWars'' and All For One's Darth Vader-esque appearance really, ''really'' helps the popularity of this trope.
63* ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndEmerald'': If you even read the tags on the story, you know that [[spoiler: this is another All For One is Midoriya Hisashi fanfics]].
64* ''Fanfic/ConversationsWithACryptid'', Izuku's father is Hisashi Midoriya (and this is his real name), but it's not until the end of the story that other characters connect him with the alias he's been using most of the time, [[spoiler: All for One.]]
65
66[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]

70* ''Fanfic/TheEquestrianWindMage'':
71** ''The Equestrian Wind Mage'' has a non-villainous example during Season 2, when Daring Do reveals that she's Rainbow Dash's mother, having [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned her with her father]] as a newborn, out of fear of not having what it took to be a parent. Dash [[CallingTheOldManOut chews her out]] for this, but her anger burns itself out, and they reconcile.
72** Season 3 reveals that [[TheDragon Dethl]] is Vaati's father. Though this was heavily foreshadowed in the previous season, and straight up spoiled in the UniverseChronology.
73* In ''Fanfic/HowILostMyMother'', Princess Celestia is revealed to have been the mother of ''Cozy Glow'', and details that her daughter's StartOfDarkness was because of a prophecy foretelling that Cozy would destroy Equestria: a prophecy that ended up being Self-Fulfilling since it was Celestias' own hasty decision to erase all knowledge of Cozy Glows' existence and denying her access to her family that caused Cozy Glow to turn to hating her mother and serving the prophecy of "destroying" Equestria based on what would happen should any knowledge about the truth were to be revealed and [[BrokenPedestal how it would destroy the publics' image of Celestia as a wise and just ruler]] instead of a control freak.
74* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': Variant -- chapter 26 of the sequel, ''Picking Up the Pieces'', reveals that [[spoiler: as she was dying at the hooves of Prince Blueblood, Chrysalis revealed the identity of her child's father -- Shining Armor -- to him. Their identity (coupled with WouldNotHurtAChild) is why Blueblood spared the infant]].
75
76[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
77* Inverted during the [[TimeyWimeyBall time travel arc]] of ''{{Fanfic/Vapors}}''. Minato quickly guesses that [[GenerationXerox Naruto]] is his son, but it takes much longer for him to realize that Aiko is being snippy because she's his daughter and has abandonment issues.
78* 2003's ''Fanfic/BloodlinesTheSOCPuppet'' begins with the Fourth Hokage revealing to Naruto that he's his father. This was years before it was revealed but canon, but [[CaptainObviousReveal fans already knew this]] (and an author's note in ''Bloodlines'' lampshades the obviousness).
79* ''Fanfic/TheLineIsNotBroken'' is a oneshot based on the theory that Tsunade is Minato's mother (and as a result, Naruto's grandmother). Tsunade had a OneNightStandPregnancy after a drunken fling with Jiraya. Jiraya never knew about the baby.

84
85[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
86* There are tons of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' fanfics that imagine the Team Rocket leader Giovanni as being Ash's father. But many other theories exist. Since the 8th movie, for example, some writers have attributed Ash's aura to him being the son of Sir Aaron, or at least one of his descendants. This also extends to Ash's game counterpart, Red.
87* In the one-shot ''Fanfic/{{Severance|Pokemon}}'', it's revealed early on that Ash's father is Giovanni. When Delia worked with Team Rocket, she had a one-night stand with Giovanni that resulted in Ash. Ash himself doesn't know. The story starts with Delia having been shot after she tried to kill Giovanni. Giovanni knows that Ash is his son... he just doesn't care and [[WouldHurtAChild is out]] [[OffingTheOffspring to kill him and Delia]].
88* The Oak/Delia oneshot ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/622612/1/ Sins of the Past]]'' has Delia as an ex-Rocket member. Ash is Giovanni's biological son, but she never told her deceased husband, her son, or Giovanni.
89* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/337881 Frayed Ends]]'' has Delia having half-lied to her son about his father. She told Ash that he's away pursuing his dream, but left out the part where "his dream" was "being a crime boss".
90* Subverted in the oneshot ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10527363/1/Revenge Revenge]]''. After Ash defeats him, Giovanni has most of Ash's loved ones brutally killed one-by-one. With only Misty left, the two run off together but end up meeting face-to-face with Giovanni anyway. Giovanni tells Ash that he is his son, but that doesn't stop Ash from shooting him. It later turns out Delia is safe. When Ash questions her on his father, she confirms that Giovanni was mistaken and that he wasn't Ash's father. Ash's dad was some random guy named "Fred" who helped Delia leave Team Rocket as a teen.
91* In the ''Pokémon'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheRoadYouChoose'', the final story not only reveals that Ash's biological father is Pokémon Master Red, but also reveals that [[spoiler:Jessie of Team Rocket is actually Giovanni's daughter, and Ash's Sinnoh companion Dawn is his half-sister as a result of Red having an affair with Dawn's mother after he left Delia; Jessie's family ties to Giovanni are the reason her team has ever been fired despite their mistakes, and characters such as Iris note that Ash and Dawn being related actually makes perfect sense in hindsight]].
92* In ''Fanfic/{{Mended}}'', a 19-year old Ash finds out that Professor Oak is his father and that his supposed father walked out before he was even conceived. He initially takes this poorly and gets drunk, but later comes to terms with it.
93* In ''Fanfic/{{Lost}}'', Delia reveals to Oak that Ash's father is none other than Team Rocket's leader Giovanni. When Delia learned just what Giovanni's "[[TheMafia family business]]" referred to, she left him. Giovanni doesn't even know about Ash. Delia made up the excuse about Ash's dad being on a Pokémon journey as a cover-up. When Giovanni turns up for the memorial service (due to the TR trio being on the ship), Delia reveals to him that Ash is his son.
94* ''Fanfic/BackToZero'' is a fanfic where Giovanni is not only Ash's dad, but he's also Jessie's dad. This unknowingly makes Ash and Jessie half-siblings.
95* [[WhamEpisode Chapter 23]] of ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has Ash confront the local KnightOfCerebus, Belladonna Tyrian, who quickly notices the resemblance between them, and realizes they're half-siblings. Moreover, this revelation quickly drops the bomb that all those Ash-lookalikes our hero has encountered before are related to him, having all been sired by the same father.
96* In ''Fanfic/SpeakUp'', Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, is Red's father. The author got this idea from ''Theatre/PokemonLive''.
97* In the seventh chapter ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6967039/1/ Dark Secrets]]'', Giovanni accidentally lets it slip that he is Jessie's father.
98
99[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'']]
100* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8751000/1/Guardian-of-Light Guardian of Light]]'': While the story had been placing hints and a few readers had already guessed correctly, the reveal that Pitch is Helen's biological father still took many by surprise. The scene is an obvious ShoutOut to ''Franchise/StarWars'', but the author [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial denies]] watching the film while working on the chapter.
101
102[[AC: ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'']]
103* ''Fanfic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness Act II'' reveals that Kurumu's father is none other than the [[SatanicArchetype Lord of Hell]] himself, who conceived her with Ageha during a one-night stand; Kurumu herself remains unaware of this.
104
105[[AC: ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
106* In ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'', Ruby asks her HonoraryUncle Qrow why there are [[SpottingTheThread so many discrepancies]] in what she's heard about past events. She ends up pushing him into revealing to her that ''he's'' her biological father, not Taiyang. Years ago, Summer left Qrow and [[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo it was decided to raise Ruby as Taiyang's daughter]]. Ruby reacts poorly and runs out the room.
107
108[[AC: ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'']]
109* In ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'', though Empath knew that he came from the Smurfs, what he didn't know until his 150th birthday is that he is Papa Smurf's only biological son, while the rest of the Smurfs were HappilyAdopted. This of course makes Brainy Smurf upset, because he always assumed that ''he'' was Papa Smurf's only biological son. (He turns out to be [[HeroicBastard Empath's illegitimate half-brother through the same mother]].)
110
111[[AC: ''Franchise/StarTrek'']]
112* In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' ParodyFic "Man of Wood" by Odon, an explanation for the canon CrackPairing of [[MsFanservice Seven of Nine]] and Chakotay is found when the latter discovers during a VisionQuest that his father is producer Rick Berman. He responds with the appropriate BigNo.
113* ''Fanfic/Plan7Of9FromOuterSpace''. Dr. Zarkendorf brags that he's been some of the most evil men who've ever lived, including this trope.
114-->"NOOOOOOOO!" screamed Buster. "That's impossible! You've ripped off George Lucas!"\
115"That's right, you wet-nosed weenie: I AM YOUR FATHER!"
116
117[[AC:''Franchise/StarWars'']]
118* The "[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/3130107 Pathways]]" series involves Obi-Wan discovering that the Anakin who became Vader is actually a clone, managing to rescue the original Anakin while working to protect Leia. Having escaped the clone, Obi-Wan takes Anakin and Leia to Tatooine, where he introduces them both to Luke and confirms Anakin's guess about his true relationship with the children, although the family agree to remain separate to avoid detection from Palpatine and the clone.
119
120[[AC: ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'']]
121* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4489465/1/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Erazors_Revenge Sonic the Hedgehog: Erazor's Revenge]]'', it is revealed (by the author) that the evil Genie of the Lamp, Erazor Djinn is the father of Sharah the Genie of the Ring, the lesser genie.
122* In the climax of ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'', [[{{Satan}} Maledict]] reveals that he is the creator and father of both Shadow and Sonic (and Eric as well). They were all early prototypes of Maledict's "Ultimate Weapon" project. None of them worked out; [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Gerald Robotnik turned on Maledict and altered Shadow]], Sonic's fetus failed and Satan launched him out of a capsule to euthanize him, and Eric was literally flushed down the sewer after a catastrophic failure did... ''[[HumanoidAbomination something]]'' to him.
123
124[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'']]
125* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/24177820/chapters/58230580 The Birthday Present]]'', ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} meets ComicBook/{{Starfire}}'s children Mar'iand'r and Jakand'r, and, noticing that their ages line up with when he and Starfire were last together before she had to return to Tamaran, he does a DNA test which confirms he's their father. He doesn't tell them, however, knowing that they wouldn't believe him. Instead, he waits for Starfire to arrive on Earth and she tells the twins the truth of their parentage.
126
127[[AC:''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'']]
128
129* ''Very'' common in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' fics. Even pre-release, several characters were theorized to be the children of the heroes of the previous games. Therefore, [[FandomSpecificPlot it's very common]] to find fics where the characters discover this, with the various quirks of Origin allowing them to meet their predecessors.
130** Mio is pretty much universally assumed to be Nia's daughter, to the point that it's probably harder to find a fic where this ''isn't'' true. [[spoiler:The game itself strongly implies it to be true]].
131** Sena shares Brighid's burning hair, so she's usually assumed to be the daughter of Brighid and Morag.
132** Ashera is often treated as the daughter of Sharla and Reyn, with Dunban's training to explain why they fight the same.
133** On the CrackFic side, Eunie is often portrayed as Melia's daughter (they're the same species, and ''that's the only connection''), while Isurd and Cammaravi sometimes show up as Mythra and Pyra's sons (they're the only Light and Fire Blades in the game). One in particular that gained a few fanfics was ''Noah'' being Melia's son (and Eunie's twin brother), despite them ''not'' being the same species. There's no sign of this in the game, but they do have a handful of minor connections that are not explained in game, and which some fans decided to spin off into a mother/son relationship.
