* ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' and ''[[Ultimate SpiderWoman|Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'' are intended as Reconstructions of traditional superhero comics. Many plots are "done in one", efforts are made to explain traditional superhero tropes and make them more believable, and [[Writing for the Trade]] is notably absent.

* ''[[Blue Sky (fanfic)|Blue Sky]]'' is a Reconstruction of the 'Wheatley becomes human' breed of fanfiction. This extremely large branch of the portal fan-community tree is rife with variations, ranging from innocent, helpless Human!Wheatley who needs Chell, to Wheatley being a psychotic, corrupted android with a taste for non-con. In this fic, Wheatley is sorry for what he did, but he's not entirely innocent either. Chell is willing to forgive him, but doesn't right off the bat, and makes it very clear that Wheatley has to earn her trust. Even the most common thread of these stories, GlaDOS seeking revenge, is subverted. She is only interested in testing, and making Wheatley hurt to reach that goal is more of a fringe benefit than anything else.

* Occurs [[In-Universe]] in [[Jared Ornstead]]'s ''Otaku Three, Robot Revolution'', where his [[Author Avatar]] Skysaber is dispatched to a ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' timeline and he uses weaponized [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] to undo the series' [[Deconstruction]] of the [[Super Robot Genre]] even as it's trying to happen all around him.
