13	* ''Fanfic/AbyssalPlain'' has the superhero and supervillain team of Breakthrough and Undersiders from ''{{Literature/Ward}}'' finding themselves in the Abyss from ''{{Literature/Pact}}''. Bonus points for the teams to come from a universe without magic, now facing off against magical threats.
14	* ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'' involves ComicBook/SpiderMan being forcibly transported to Izuku's universe by Mysterio's portal. There he's homeless, considered fictional, and is [[ArrestedForHeroism on the run from the police for his vigilantism.]] After seeing Izuku leap out of traffic the way he had as teenager, Peter decides to teach the newly spider-powered teen how to be Spider-Man while trying to figure out a way home.
15	* In the ''WebComic/SlightlyDamned'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/BlizzardStorm'' this is what kicks off the ENTIRE plot of the story. Of course, it's subverted starting from Chapter 17.
16	* ''Fanfic/Ben10Unlimited'': This happens to Ben as he's trying to [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]] after [[spoiler: Vilgax]] killed his family, best friend, and girlfriend. Professor Paradox instead sent him to the DCAU...just in time for the Thanagarian invasion.
17	* ''Fanfic/BoldoresAndBoomsticks'' revolves around Team RWBY being chased through an Ultra Wormhole into the Pokémon world. A later chapter reverses the situation, with an Absol careening into Remnant moments before another Wormhole snaps shut and joining Taiyang, Winter, Qrow, and Team JNPR in their quest to go after their lost friends and family.
18	* ''Fanfic/TheBoysRealJustice'': Played with. On the same day that the Justice League appear in Earth 7's New York, the Boys all get sent to the DC Universe (being spread out to Gotham, Metropolis, Central City, etc). They quickly realize that there is a way to travel back to their home universe, but they decide not to take it so that they can prove themselves as vigilantes by taking out some of Batman's rogues. [[CurbStompBattle This ends as well as you think]], and ends with [[spoiler: Batman sending them all to Arkham, then Waller busting them out to put them on Task Force X (aka the Suicide Squad, and ''then'' leads to them being put under mind control by Lex Luthor]]. By then, they certainly ''want'' to go home.
19	* [[Franchise/BlazBlue Ragna]] ends up trapped in [[Manga/FairyTail Fiore]] in ''Fanfic/BondsBeyondTheBoundary''. Kokonoe manages to link the gap between their worlds so Ragna can now leave when he feels like it. He refuses, as Terumi is in the ''Fairy Tail'' world and Ragna will be damned if he lets him roam around and cause havoc.
20	* The story ''Fanfic/BringMeBackHome'' involves Marinette falling through a portal into an alternate Paris, based on the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' pilot video, forcing her to deal with a much less friendly Cat Noir than she's used to. In turn, Marinette's counterpart ends up in the familiar Paris, is forced to impersonate Marinette for the time being and quickly digs herself into a hole with Alya and Adrien by not realising that Chat Noir is much more popular than she's used to.
21	* ''Fanfic/DoorsToTheUnknown'': This is the current situation [[Literature/{{Worm}} Taylor, Dean, Chris, Brian, and Alec]] find themselves in. They adapt surprisingly well, but are still focused on returning to their home plan from TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}.
22	* ''Fanfic/ACourierForKivotos'': A post-story [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Courier of the Mojave Wasteland]] finds himself in [[VideoGame/BlueArchive Academy City, Kivotos]] and becomes the Sensei to the trigger-happy angel-students.
23	* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Inverted with Shinji and Asuka. They had been travelling between two different universes when the portal got shut down while they were in their native homeworld, trapping them in there. Played straight with the Avaloni soldiers accompanying them that got trapped in the Evaverse.
24	* ''Fanfic/{{Cycle}}'' is a ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' story whose Robin is actually a Canadian baker named Robin who happens to have played ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' a few times.[[spoiler:.. except she's not their Robin and both the mystery behind her abduction, as well as what has become of the actual Robin, are the {{Driving Question}}s of the plot.]]
25	* Played with in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12672455/1/ Dedicated Hearts made Fullmetal]]''. The Truth dropped [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward and Alphonse Elric]] into the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' world against their will, but left them the means to return to their own world at any point they wish (by drawing a specific transmutation circle). However, it's a one-way trip once they choose to do so, and since their mission is to save as many lives as possible (in exchange for bringing back their lost loved ones to life), they can't bring themselves to go back just yet, at least until they've stopped the Rumbling.
26	* ''VideoGame/{{Deltatraveler}}'': Kris and Susie wake up in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' and look for a way home. Later on, they encounter Noelle and fall into [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 a]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast lot]] [[VideoGame/TSUnderswap of]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory other]] [[VideoGame/ToontownOnline worlds]]..

[[spoiler:And it turns out that other Demon God Pillars managed to find their way to Fodlan as well, concocting their own schemes]].
28	* ''Fanfic/DisplacedTheMountainJew'': Spider-Man is dropped off in the DC Universe with no apparent way to return home.
29	* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'' features this prominently -- with something of a twist. The Light Gods are capable of sending Ami back at any time, and Ami is aware of this fairly early. However, due to Ami's unfortunate bonding with a Dungeon Heart, they refuse to do so. Rightly so -- if she returned to her world with a Dungeon Heart, she would inadvertently draw the Dark Gods after her. The story evolves around her attempts to discover a way around this.
30	* ''Fanfic/ElementalFlux'' revolves around [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin, Hobbes and Susie]] getting trapped in the world of WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender.
31	* ''Fanfic/TheFairyQueenOfTilea'' sees [[Manga/FairyTail Erza Scarlet]], after losing to her mother Irene and seemingly sacrificing her life, somehow get transported into the nation of Tilea from the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' world with no idea how to get back to Earthland.
32	* This is the premise of ''Fanfic/FateGenesis''; Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and friends end up transported to Fuyuki at the beginning of the [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fifth Holy Grail War]] thanks to one of [[MadScientist Dr. Eggman's]] weapons going haywire. [[spoiler: At the end of the story, Matou Shinji ends up stuck in Sonic's world.]]
33	* ''Fanfic/FireEmblemFatesCalamity'': Many ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' characters are trapped in the world of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', and have all been stuck there for five years. To top it off, many characters, such as Ragna, Noel, and Bang, are all suffering from a case of WistfulAmnesia and don't remember their old world, believing themselves to be inhabitants of the ''Fates'' world.
34	* ''WebAnimation/FreedomFightersSonicXFreedomPlanet'': At the start, after Infinite's failed attempt to take the Chaos Emeralds (which results in their energy clashing with that of his Phantom Ruby), a rift gets torn between worlds. As a result, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Shadow, Eggman, and Infinite himself get sent into [[VideoGame/FreedomPlanet Avalice]], with them having no idea how to get back home.
35	* ''Fanfic/HeartsOfIce'': Akane is exiled to the Kami Plane by Cologne's magic, and she spends seven years fighting demons until she manages to return to her own plane.
36	* In ''Webcomic/{{Hollowtale}}'', [[VideoGame/HollowKnight the Knight]] finds themself trapped in the world of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', with no idea how to get back home. To help them adapt to the new world they found themself in, Sans and Papyrus decide to take them under their custody.
37	* ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'': Implied, then averted. Harry Potter, after being beaten almost to death by Dudley's gang, falls through a portal to Equestria. Despite the efforts of the Equestrian Guard, they can't relocate the portal. Fifteen months later, a Hogwarts owl shows up with his letter, revealing that the portal is still active. Harry is forced to admit that he's known the location of the portal all along, but he didn't reveal it because he loves his life in Ponyville and he was worried that he'd be sent back to the Dursleys if Twilight learned there was a way to send him back. Twilight quickly assures him that he'll never have to see the Dursleys again.
38	* ''Fanfic/{{Justice}}'': All the [[Manga/OnePiece Straw Hat Pirates]] are stranded in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' universe and as such, they all try to blend in and avoid the heroes there while secretly trying to find a way back.
39	* This type of plot is oddly popular with ''Series/KamenRider'' crossover fanfics, wherein various canon characters or OCs (notably fans of the franchise) would be transported to a fictional world of their choice with a Kamen Rider belt (regardless of which generation; some would use the main Rider powers although secondary/auxiliary Riders aren't too far off).
40	* In the MCU/Harry Potter crossover ''[[Fanfic/TheLastSeidr The Last Seidr]]'', twelve-year-old Harry, Fawkes, and the Sorting Hat are zapped by the Tesseract from Hogwarts to the MCU right before Loki's attack on New York. Harry struggles to hide his magical abilities (as well as exactly what Fawkes is) from SHIELD while trying to figure out how the Tesseract can get he and Fawkes home.
41	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1509209/1/Lord-of-the-Mutants Lord of the Mutants]]'', [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings the Fellowship]] get trapped in the world of ''Film/XMen1'', and end up tangling with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1848890/1/Lord-of-the-Mutants-II The sequel]] has the X-Men get stuck in Middle-Earth.
42	* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'':
43	** ''FanFic/TimeWillTell'' is this done by a fan of the books. Jorryn from America appears in the Shire, and ends up living with Bilbo and Frodo. When Frodo must leave the Shire, Jorryn goes with him. ''Time Will Tell'' brings Jorryn through the Old Forest and to Tom Bombadil, in events from the books but AdaptedOut of the movies.
44	** ''FanFic/HomeWithTheFairies'' is a {{deconstruction}}. Maddie lands in Middle-earth, but she is lost. When she finds a town, she hits a LanguageBarrier [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome because no one speaks English or knows anything about America, her home.]] She almost dies, and lampshades the PlotArmor that seems to keep her alive. Unlike most of these characters, Maddie also wants to find a way home.
45	** ''FanFic/TheGameOfTheGods'' features a few Sues who try this, if they're not natives already. This can provide a very quick end to their storyline; jumping into a TV screen showing the LOTR movies won't realistically send you to another world, but it can electrocute you.
46	* ''Fanfic/ALoudAmongDemons'' zigzags this; [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Lincoln Loud]] has his soul bound to Hell after an attempted sacrifice by an EvilTeacher gets thwarted by the [[WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P)]]. Technically, Lincoln isn't stuck there as he can return to Earth using Stolas' grimoire whenever he wants. However, the problem lies in the fact that Lincoln cannot ''permanently'' leave Hell, as staying on Earth for too long will cause him to be forcibly transported back.
47	* ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' kicks off with [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Fairy Leviathan]] waking up on a rooftop in Manehattan, Equestria, after getting herself caught in Omega's explosive death throes. She's not happy about being subjected to "one of the oldest cliches in fiction", in her words.
48	* ''Fanfic/MassFoundations'' has this as a basic plotline for ''Redemption in the Stars'', ''A New Day'', and ''All the World's a Stage''. Something had caused the protagonist(s) to be transported to another universe and they have to adapt and maybe find a way back. Though in ''All the World's a Stage'', the Doctor and the Lone Wanderer were able to travel between universes thanks to the TARDIS.
49	* ''Fanfic/{{Metro}}'': ZigzaggedTrope. Mads and Thomas are from AnotherDimension, specifically, the ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' universe, and effectively also have YouCantGoHomeAgain, as while they ''can'', they wouldn't be given a warm welcome if they made it.
50	* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fans have a whole slew of these, referred to as "Human In Equestria" fics.
51	** ''Fanfic/MyLittleWesker'', in which the spectacularly evil BigBad of the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' games becomes trapped in Equestria. [[HilarityEnsues He does not approve]].
52	** ''Shackles and Friendship'' has the protagonist, Rodney, become a minor EldritchAbomination due to his weird reaction to magic -- he can store limitless ammounts of it.
53	** ''Fanfic/TheNonBronyVerse'' has our protagonist summoned to Equestria when Celestia sees him get hit by a car. Like Wesker, he also disaproves.
54	** ''FanFic/TheRiseOfDarthVulcan'' has the protagonist make THE Alicorn Amulet part of his EvilOverlord halloween costume, and gets teleported there when he vows its destruction.
55	** The Displaced Verse, wherein a mysterious Merchant sells cosplayers a trinket that gets them sucked into Equestria at the earliest opportunity, as whoever they were cosplaying as at the time. They inevitablelly upset the natives somehow and become a VillainProtagonist.
56	* In ''Fanfic/NewStars'' (a crossover between ''Series/TheOrville'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'') a clone soldier named CT-5599 (or Maxx) ends up in the same universe as the Union ship ''Orville'' with no guaranteed way of getting back to the Republic.
57	* ''Fanfic/NewVegasShowtime'' involves [[VideoGame/Persona5 the Phantom Thieves of Hearts]] being randomly scattered across [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Mojave Wasteland]].
58	* ''Fanfic/{{Outsiders}}'': After her repeated attempts to summon a familiar from his world draw the attention and ire of Arceus, Louise requests a chance to prove herself worthy. Arceus give her one year on Earth to do so. Later her friend Henrietta tells Mew that she misses Louise. Hearing this, Mew drags her along to Earth and ditches her in the middle of Lumiose city.
59	* ''Fanfic/PeterParkerNeedsAHug'': After everything that happened to him in ''No Way Home'', Peter Parker found himself accidentally transported to a different city in a new reality. Specifically, he landed in Gotham, leading to Spider-Man being the newest rogue on the Bats' radar.
60	* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': [[AllThereInTheManual According to his author-given backstory]], the omake-exclusive character Reel somehow ended up in an alternate Equestria, just a hair to the side of the canon timeline, where he gained the powers of Kamen Rider Skull and then some (the author swears this is not a Displaced fic, since no conventions were involved and he didn't find his equipment until after he and it arrived there separately). While not strictly trapped there anymore after an encounter with Kamen Riders Decade and Double (which led to his gaining Decade's ability to travel around dimensions), he now calls it home and always returns between visits to other worlds.
61	* ''Fanfic/PointMeAtTheSkyrim'''s plot starts off with the superhero Antares waking up on the cart to Helgen for execution. Suffice to say she does not take being held against her will in a fantasy world, with no idea how she had arrived there, well at all.
62	* ''Fanfic/ThePortal'': Thomas Smith and his family wind up being pulled into the Dragon Realms, and it's heavily implied that they may be [[YouCantGoHomeAgain unable to return to their world]].
63	* ''Fanfic/RemnantOfAWorm'': After Contessa shot Taylor in the head to remove her Khepri powers, Glatig Uaine opened a portal to Remnant and left Taylor there to give her a second chance.
64	* ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness Act VI'': In response to the breakdown of the peace treaty and the HDA declaring war on the monster world, the Dark Lords close off the gateways to the monster world to prevent them from attacking, trapping Moka and co. in the human world and forcing them into hiding.
65	* ''Fanfic/RubyPair'': The plot of "Gaols & Ghouls" is that Dib, Gaz, Zim, Tenn, and GIR are sucked into the titular game and have to complete a quest campaign in order to return to the real world.
66	* ''FanFic/SlippingBetweenWorlds'', in which through the agency of the mysterious Mrs. Tachyon and her old-bag-lady shopping trolley - which is not what it seems - a group of British soldiers evade death on Roundworld only to end up in Ankh-Morpork on the Literature/{{Discworld}}.
67	* In ''Fanfic/SonOfSpardaDxD'', Dante winds up in the D×D world aged down to 16 after his battle with Argosax the Chaos. He's not too concerned with getting back to his world and is mostly just trying to live life and pay his bills. This also applies to [[spoiler:Vergil and Modeus]], both of whom have been there much longer than Dante has.
68	* ''Fanfic/TheSpectacularSpiderManLostInGotham'': After a lab accident, Spectacular's Spider-Man sacrifices himself to save Gwen Stacy, allowing himself to be sucked into what turns out to be a portal. Said portal sends him to Gotham, with no way home.
69	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9916786/1/Spider-Man-and-Oola Spider-Man and Oola]]'', ComicBook/SpiderMan is transported to the world of Franchise/StarWars along with ComicBook/DoctorDoom, and saves Oola the Twi'lek from the Rancor. As of the most recently published chapter, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ComicBook/{{Tigra}}, and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Human Torch]] have joined him.
70	* ''Fanfic/StarTrekPhoenix'': The core premise of the story is that the magical mirror that, in canon, leads to the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' universe instead transports Sunset and later Twilight to the Earth of ''Star Trek''. Unlike its canonical version, the mirror doesn't have a corresponding portal on the other end -- it simply opens a hole in reality, tosses them out, and closes behind them, leaving them stranded in an alien world with no way to return home. Finding a way to track down their homeworld and return to Equestria is Sunset and Twilight's primary motivation in the story.
71	* ''Fanfic/SunsetsIsekai'': This has been known to happen to characters from time to time, usually leading into a multichapter arc.
72	* ''Fanfic/SupermanAndMan'': Creator/ChristopherReeve finds himself trapped in a world where he is Franchise/{{Superman}} while the Man of Steel himself finds himself stuck in a world where he's a comic-book character, occupying a disabled person's body.
73	* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfHetalia'', the Allies and the Axis are sucked into the world of Rukassia by a magic book.
74	* ''Fanfic/TatteredCapesUnderAShatteredMoon'': Dragon and Defiant crash down on Remnant, and the portal that brought them there is too damaged for them to repair it.
75	* ''Fanfic/TemporalAnomaly:'' After being RetGone from his world's history thanks to the actions of his younger self, [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Sougo]] finds himself in the world of ''Franchise/{{Drakengard}}'', during the time when [[VideoGame/Drakengard3 the Intoners still roamed the world]].
76	* ''Fanfic/TimeBreakSaga'': At the start of, Lambda winds up in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' world with no way back to her reality. This is overall treated as a good thing given how horrible Relius' experiments were on her and how she makes it clear that she doesn't want to return to her world.
77	* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38329261/chapters/95776393 That time a bomb in Moonbase teleported us to a fantasy world]]'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin-a bomb exploding on the [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Kids Next Door moonbase]] sends Sector V, Numbuh 362, Numbuh 86, Numbuh 60, Numbuh 23, Numbuh 35, Numbuh 83, Numbuh 84 and the Delightful Children to a fantasy world based around ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy''. Unlike most stories of this nature, this is revealed to have been an intentional plan by the king of the world they land in, as there was a story about twelve heroes defeating a creature of legend and when no hero could be found in his world, the king opted to search other universes, with the Kids Next Door operatives being the best option he could find to fill the role.
78	* ''Fanfic/TheyreNotPussywillowPixies'': This is what happens to Azrael, Gargamel, and the Smurfs when they go through a portal and end up in Neverland.

81	* ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'': Music/TheBeatles are scooped up and dropped on the planet C'hou with nothing except the clothes on their backs and some musical instruments; they're terrified out of their minds and have absolutely no idea why they're there. The reader knows they're there as the subjects of an alien undergraduate psychology experiment (at least initially, until the experiment breaks down), but the four don't learn anything for around a month, when they're told that they've been brought over and equipped to fetch the three pieces of a statue to end a continent-sized curse. The quest is legitimate in context, but was assigned to them after they were equipped.
82	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2358485/1/What-Insertion What Insertion?]]'' starts with [[Manga/InuYasha Inuyasha]] and a real-world collegian being transferred from their respective worlds into the mind of [[Literature/{{Slayers}} Hellmaster Phibrizzo,]] then getting ''him'' permanently stuck in a more modern setting.
