Mugging the Monster/Fan Works

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Mugging the Monster in Fan Works include:

  • In Of Love and Bunnies, a mugger tries to take Kimberly's purse. He is promptly decked by Tommy. This has a lot of ramifications on the plot, since the mugger was one of their old classmates, and it gets to the point that the world believes that Tommy was the original Black Ranger. They eventually have to send in TJ to ensure that the mugger changes his story.
  • In Unfamiliar, a bunch of muggers attack a young noble and her scruffy, grumpy, hood-wearing servant wandering down a blind alley after dusk. They become aware of their grievous error in judgement shortly before the servant messily kills and eats them. It's a crossover with Prototype; said servant is Alex Mercer.
  • A gang of thugs tries to mug The Doctor here. The Third Doctor. He proceeds to Pressure Point them into unconsciousness.
  • In Progress, two stallions flirt with the incognito Luna and try to get her Unsuspectingly Soused. When she catches on, arse-kicking ensues.
  • In Time Braid, this is invoked by Hinata when she and Sakura propose to go undercover as missing-nin and infiltrate Akatsuki. Hinata quotes the standard chestnut along the lines of "meet interesting new people, and kill them"; when Sakura chastises her for violence of outlook, she points out that, being two thirteen-year-old girls travelling alone, one carrying an unsealed Byakugan, all sorts of people are bound to attack them who the world would be better off without anyway. Later, dialogue notes that "eventually, the attacks stopped".
  • The Hill of Swords. The Familiar of Zero‍'‍s Louise summons a version of Emiya Shirou from Fate/stay night who's well along the path to becoming Archer. Then, of course, Guiche challenges him to a duel.
  • The Yellow Wings learned the hard way that Cid and Ensei are way out of their league in The Tainted Grimoire.
  • In Zero vs. Kira the Britannian soldiers who unknowingly capture Kira in a world-breaching experiment Gone Horribly Right. "Damn uppity Eleven, you think you're somebody because you can speak English and wear a suit." Light Yagami asks if he may at least know the names of his executioners...
  • Happens "off-screen" in the first chapter of Drunkard's Walk II when metahuman main character Doug Sangnoir is accosted by a gang of cybered thugs in the world of Bubblegum Crisis. He walks away from the subsequent fight, the thugs don't, and the AD Police draw some uncomfortable conclusions about his abilities when they investigate the crime scene later.
    • When two dark wizards in the employ of Dolores Umbridge attempt to threaten Doug into quitting his new job as Defense Professor at Hogwarts in chapter two of Drunkard's Walk VIII, the results are much the same -- they're found later unconscious with their wands driven through their hands and into a building wall.
  • This comic, using characters from Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss; Verosika sits in what she assumes is Charlie's throne and declares herself Queen of Hell; when Charlie pleads with her to get off it, Verosika gloats, "Yeah, what are you going to do, tell mommy on me?" Unfortunately for Verosika, Charlie's mother is Lilith (the actual Queen of Hell), it's actually her throne, she's standing right there, and she is not amused...
