* A large chunk of ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' and Sburb, mainly through use of [[Stable Time Loop|Stable Time Loops]].

She's 0kay with a lot of things.

{{color|grey|CCG: IN FACT IT'S A BETTER TIME THAN ANY BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF CHAT CLIENT PREDESTINATION I DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE DO I.}} }}

* [[Goblins]]: Many Goblins are named by the clan fortune teller based on predictons of what they will do later in life, so there are Goblins with names like Chief ([[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|the clan chief]]), Complains-Of-Names (who dislikes the Goblin naming tradition), Dies-Horribly (Who is incredibly nervous), etc. Saves-A-Fox attempts to avert this, killing the fox she was meant to save and invoking [[Screw Destiny]], but ends up doubly-subverting it when Dies-Horribly theorises that the fox may have had a terminal illness and she [[Mercy Kill|'saved' it from a painful and prolonged death.]]
* In ''[[Pibgorn]]'', [http://www.gocomics.com/pibgorn/2003/06/24/ Fate, by definition is incorruptible].
