* From chapter 13 of the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4574288/1/Altered_Destinies Altered Destinies], where Shinji forces Gendo to de-activate the Dummy Plug before it kills the pilot of Unit Three {{spoiler|who in this AU is a de-aged Misato}} ''by arming Unit One's self-destruct system and threatening to nuke himself if Gendo doesn't back down''. Made doubly awesome in that Shinji is not only standing up to his father, but epically [[Calling the Old Man Out|calling him out]] on an open broadcast frequency with all of NERV listening in.

* [http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/2005/07/07/ Stealing Harry] by Sam-Stroyteller on Lj. "Summary: As with all good "what if?"s, the premise hinges on the smallest thing: what if Sirius was delayed just that much in going to meet Pettigrew after Lily and James were killed--so that Pettigrew used another--Lucius Malfoy--as the murder scapegoat? What if Sirius and Remus obeyed Dumbledore's injunction to let Harry grow up in the protection of the Dursley household--until they could stand it no longer, when Harry was eight years old? " CMoA? In the SECOND CHAPTER, when Remus and Sirius take Harry away from the Dursley's. They both tell them off. This Troper stopped and burst into giggles.

** This troper thinks the moment that Shocker proves he really did invent his suit and gauntlets to Tony Stark was awesome. Stark and Reed Richards spent pretty much the entirety of their appearance up to then convinced that Shocker couldn't possibly have really invented the suit and gauntlets, that he MUST have stolen them from someone smarter. The moment that Stark realises that Shocker did actually invent them, and Shocker replies with a smug smile "That's right" was just great to see.

* This Troper found the end of "Chapter 23: For What Can Change" of ''[[Stray]]'' really powerful, maybe her absolute favorite in any fanfic, because she was counting bullets and realized [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|what Adamska was about to do]]. Amazing scene.

* Few fanfics mimic their source material as perfectly as [http://www.rdrop.com/~/wyvern/data/houseplants.html Houseplants of Gor], a parody of John Norman's ''[[Gor]]'' series. It's simultaneously a CMOA and a CMOF.

** In The Unexpected Visitor, chapter 25, Dementors and Death Eaters attack Hogsmeade while the students are there. Harry Potter takes charge of the situation while the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry Aurors arrive, and he contributes quite a lot to the defence of the town. However, the CMoA comes when, after realising that there are very few Patroni (plural of Patronus) still around and several hundreds of Dementors, he [[It Makes Sense in Context|makes up a charm on the spot]] that absorbs the still living Patroni and transforms them into creatures of fire of different colours that utterly destroy the Dementors, freeing all the souls they have Kissed.

* The entirety of [http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-23778-1/DWduck+The+Angel+s+Voice.htm The Angel's Voice]. Its a [[Doctor Who]]/[[Angel]] crossover... [[Musical Episode|involving Sweet]]. Particular awesome are the duet between The Doctor and [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] as they clobber Daleks together, and the chorus number by The Doctor and his previous nine regenerations.
