A [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] is pulled together on emergency to [[The Quest|accomplish some grand goal]]. [[We Do the Impossible|They succeed.]] And then realize that they are not exactly held together by much anymore, and the team falls apart, with each member now free to pursue their personal endeavors.

== Anime
* Riot Force 6 in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'', which unites pretty much every top combat mage in the [[The Federation|TSAB]], is disbanded after the JS Incident is taken care of and the rookies' training is complete. This is followed by [[Putting the Band Back Together]] under the name "Special Duty Section 6" in ''[[Nanoha Force]]''.
* While not really a specific team or organization, this is how the cast of [[Dragon Ball]] treat each other. In between story arcs, they don't visit each other at all. Even when several years pass, they don't even drop in to say "hi" until the next tournament starts or the next baddie shows up.

== Literature ==
* The [[Trope Namer]], of course, is ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. While physically separated for much of the actual story, the Fellowship breaks apart after the Ring is destroyed and the members go about the rest of their lives. Aragorn rules Gondor as King Elessar with Arwen as his wife, Faramir and Eowyn get hitched in Rohan, Legolas and Gimli go [[Walking the Earth]], the four Hobbits return to and take back the Shire from Saruman and Grima Wormtongue, and then Frodo and Bilbo leave with Gandalf, Gimli and the Elves for the Undying Lands.
* After the whole Queen-and-Buckingham incident in ''[[The Three Musketeers (novel)|The Three Musketeers]]'' is resolved, the eponymous heroes and D'Artagnan each go their own way (but come back together in the sequels).
* In the ''[[Dark Tower]]'' series, after {{spoiler|Eddie's death}}, the ka-tet, and the closeness inherent in it is broken. The remaining members of the group still pursue their quest, but it's not the same.
