* In bad fanfiction (especially of the [[Jerk Sue]] or [[Sympathetic Sue]] kind), one EXTREMELY common plot device is to make the parents of one of the characters physically, emotionally, sexually and/or mentally abusive, to throw said character in the arms of his/her True Love. |

** Heck, even ''doujinshi'' use this cliché. In one of NEGAHYST Circle's ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'' dj, both [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Masaharu Niou]] and his mother are routinely abused by Niou's alcoholic father (with said alcohol problems being nwhere found in canon since we barely know about niou's parents), and it's used as a flimsy plot device to make Niou [[Wangst]] and throw him in his partner [[Officer and a Gentleman|Hiroshi Yagyuu]]'s arms. |

* Pick any ''[[Naruto]]'' fan-fiction where Hiashi Hyuuga is a main or supporting character. In 90% of those works, he's shown as being verbally, psychologically, emotionally, and sometimes physically abusive toward Hinata; ''[[Team 8]]'' is one example of all four types in action in the same story. (Ironically, the remaining 10% tend to portray him the way he was and currently is in canon--emotionally distant, but not such a bad guy once [[Character Development]] sets in.) |

* ''[[Nobody Dies]]'', a ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fanfic, features Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu, who in this continuity {{spoiler|was not driven insane by the contact experiments.}} She emotionally abuses Asuka, turning her into a [[Shrinking Violet]], rather than the [[Jerkass]] that Asuka was in the series. In an interesting semi-aversion, Kyoko realizes her mistakes when the other NERV personnel nearly murder her for it, and resolves to try to become a better person. She and Asuka are now on at least amicable terms. |
