{{trope}}Examples of the [[{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* The ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' fandom gives us ''[[Dark Secrets]]'', a [[So Bad It's Good]] [[Hurt /Comfort Fic]] in which the "hurt" half is provided by [[Ron the Death Eater]], whose [[Title Drop|dark secret]] is discovered by his [[Mary Sue]] girlfriend, to whom he starts behaving like a total bastard and leads her to seek the "comfort" half with [[Draco in Leather Pants|his mortal enemy.]] [[Fridge Logic|Yeah.]]
* Also from [[Harry Potter|Potterfandom]] we have ''Courting Miss Granger'', about the Malfoy Marriage Curse. Said curse has been in force for several centuries, and dictates that the eldest male in every generation must marry a Witch—not necessarily pureblooded, but no more than one year older or younger than he is -- ''before his twenty-sixth birthday'', or the family fortune devolves onto a cadet branch and said eldest male will suffer a gruesome death. The Idiot Plot element comes into effect when NO ONE TELLS DRACO ABOUT THIS CURSE until his ''twenty-fifth'' birthday—when, conveniently enough, every Witch of his generation is conveniently married off ... except for one. And guess who that one might be?
* ''[[For Your Eyes Only (fanfic)|For Your Eyes Only]]''. The only way this AU society could exist is if everyone in it was insane.
