Line 37:
* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'':
** ''[[I Put On My Robe and Wizard Hat]]'' is another of those Deconstructive [[Affectionate Parody]] fics that go through periods of popularity. Re-imagining Shiruo as a child of the chan boards is only the beginning. ''Apostles In Leather Pants'', the sequel, does Tsukihime.
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'':
** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6533816/1/Forgive_Us_Our_Trespasses Forgive Us Our Trespasses] deconstructs the notion of an [[Sailor Earth|eighth homunculus]], where the main character is shown actually ''hating'' her current state, and generally [[Butt Monkey|being treated like crap by the other homunculi]]. It also touches upon [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|the effects of the red stones on one's psych]], and plays [[Draco in Leather Pants|Envy]]'s character [[Kick the Dog|fairly]] [[Jerkass|straight]].
* ''[[Love Hina]]'' tends to attract these:
Line 77:
** ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130119014542/http://pixelscapes.com/twoflower/fanfic/TheEnds.txt The Ends]'' by Twoflower is meant to be "my farewell to Ranma ½, and my condemnation of it". It rips the very things needed to maintain the madcap comedy of the series to shreds, particularly the idea that it could result in a concrete, satisfying ending.
** ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5966741/1/Dutiful_Child Dutiful Child]'' by Luan Mao takes the "give the characters exactly what they want, in all its suck" route. There's an element of [[Fix Fic]], but it's also a bitter breakdown of what kind of manliest man would result from Ranma's childhood.
** ''[[Tales of Ranma and Ranko]]'' deconstructs the common "Ranma and his girl side are split into two people" plot by realistically extrapolating the [[For Want of a Nail]] effect such a change would have on everything and everyone around them -- ''plus'' exploring the effects such a split would have on both Ranma and Ranko themselves. It also delves into several canon relationships -- Shampoo and Cologne, Ryoga and Akari, Dr. Tofu and Kasumi -- to show how they could be something not quite apparent on the surface. All this while still managing to be an [[Original Flavour]] story with no small amount of comedy.
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' has gained a few:
** Crystal Tokyo, the [[Crystal Spires and Togas]] [[utopia]]n [[The Future|Future]] of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', is frequently deconstructed into a [[Knight Templar]] [[Dystopia]] — famously, in ''[[I'm Here to Help]]''. Neo-Queen Serenity, Sailor Moon's future self, is described as "cleansing the Earth's people of evil". That would be enough to plant [[Epileptic Trees]], but then in the second season, the Black Moon Clan showed up, time-traveling antagonists who refused to be "purified" and left Crystal Tokyo forever. That just made removing people's "evil" sound even more like a euphemism for mass [[Brainwashed|brainwashing]].

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'':
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': A deconstruction of the "[[Peggy Sue]] is not Easy" version in ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-11643/Hotpoint+Compelled+to+Play+Again.htm Compelled]''. Illyria from ''[[Angel]]'' goes back in time in order to get revenge on Wolfram & Hart. It all goes seemingly well up until the villains start playing by the new rules like using guns the way the slayers have.▼
** Joss Whedon himself has stated that Buffy herself is a deconstruction of the common horror movie stereotype of a the pretty, blonde-haired high school girl who tends to wind up as monster chow. Monsters who assume Buffy is the same tend to get their ass handed to them.
▲*
* ''[[iCarly]]'': A ripe target for deconstruction due to the bizarre world the show inhabits, as well as the large assortment of terrible and constantly used clichés found in a community built mostly by tween writers.
** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5190928/1/A_Darkened_Mind_Part_One A Darkened Mind] is a long-form deconstruction of the [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], [[Slap Slap Kiss]] and [[Comedic Sociopathy]] based Sam/Freddie relationship.
Line 184 ⟶ 187:
* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'': Deconstruction of Cosmo and Wanda's failing relationship. [[Genie in a Bottle|Norm the Genie]] being shown in a sympathetic light. The [[Morality Tropes]] of the show.
** [[The Movie]] is a [[Deconstruction]] of the ''very premise of the show''. Timmy's 23, still has his fairy godparents, and is still in the fifth grade. If you had Fairy God Parents, why would you do anything to give them up? Especially when you can wish away any of the negative events that could happen if you do.
* ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]'': [
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'':
** Some stories have her [[Black and White Morality|clear "beat the bad guys, save the world" morality]] crashing against the intractable problems of the world, leading her to crack up or go rogue. Others have her [[Evil Counterpart]] Shego explain moral relativism to her.
Line 207 ⟶ 210:
** ''[[Candy for Your Thoughts]]''. It started as a [[Writer on Board|rant]] against events like {{spoiler|Duncan breaking up with Courtney to get with Gwen}} but then it evolved to a very intricate working (and really [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]]) of how the events really messed up Gwen, Duncan and Courtney, instead of the way ended in the actual series. The fic, on the other hand, [[Reconstruction|reconstructs]] the [[Replacement Goldfish]] trope (when applied to {{spoiler|couples that just broke up}}) with {{spoiler|Cody and Courtney}}.
* ''[[Transformers]]'': Any fan writing from a perspective of "the Decepticons were right" can swing between this and [[Draco in Leather Pants]] for the entire faction.
** [
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'':
** ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6920956/1/Forfeit Forfeit]'' shows what would happen if the titular characters still maintained their childhood problems well into the midst of their teenage years. Starts off with a fairly more moderate tone, but gets noticeably more darker and realistic as the chapters progress.
