A Betrayal Fic is a fanfic where a character ends up betrayed by their close peers, lover, etc. This often leads into the one being betrayed starting new relationships with other characters, some that they might not even know in canon. The betrayed will invariably end up becoming a much stronger person (emotionally and/or physically) afterwards and reunite with their former friend(s) only to either call them out or beat them up. The Betrayal Fic is extremely common in series where the main characters are True Companions. Breaking up a tight knit group is an immediate source of conflict and it allows for new character connections and a change in character direction for the protagonist. Betrayal Fics are generally written in response to how the writer perceives the character dynamics in a work, with the character who was betrayed usually being the Butt-Monkey or otherwise someone who they feel deserves more respect from the rest of the cast, with the fic dedicated to showcasing what they can do when finally taken seriously. As part of this, the people doing the betraying tend to be ones the writer dislikes, in worst case scenarios being turned vilified in the writer's quest to emphasize how badly they treat the character in question, and make to it more satisfying when they're taken down at the end. This is not obligatory, however; despite what we just said, not all Betrayal Fics are Revenge Fics, and the writers might even be fond of the characters. Compare to Revenge Fic, Accusation Fic, and Dark Fic, all of which commonly overlap with each other. As this is a Betrayal Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Hell and High Water has Rainbow as the only one of the Rainbooms to believe in Sunset's innocence, which has others view her as guilty by association. The duo end up as victims of attempted murder from a group of particularly disgruntled students, but they recover and start a new life attending Crystal Prep and handling new magical incidents alongside the Sirens. | |

The Rainbow Connection is a Rainbow Brite betrayal fic where Sixth Ranger Stormy turns evil after she feels the Color Kids left her for dead. As an adult, she returns to Rainbow Land and then proceeds to go on a massacre. Unusually, Stormy is the main villain instead of the protagonist. The also now-adult Rainbow Brite must stop her. | |

A recurring plot point in fics where Katsuki is revealed to have bullied Izuku for years is that the Bakusquad (Eijiro, Mina, Sero and Denki) will immediately turn their backs on him. Eijiro might try to defend him/downplay what's going on which invariably leads to Katsuki to double down and for the red head to cut the explosive quirked boy from his life for good. We're Not Friends Kacchan is a perfect example of this, right down with Eijiro beating the shit of Katsuki when the later shows absolutely no remorse over his treatment of Izuku. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: The premiere episode of Season Three, "Chameleon", features Lila Rossi turning all of Marinette's friends against her with ridiculous ease. This generated a practical tsunami of fics inspired by its events. In Audacity, Adrien betrays Marinette by taking her earrings and Wishing for his family to be whole no matter the cost, bringing his mother back to life by sacrificing Marinette's mother. He also Wishes for Marinette to be Brainwashed into loving him. Despite her devotion, Marinette can't quite shake a sense of betrayal, and has her memory jogged after she meets a certain Boy Wonder. Burning Bridges, Building Confidence brings in Marinette's cousin Cole as a much-needed ally after the events of "Chameleon". Marinette goes on to build a new Girl Posse while dealing with Lila, Alya, and their misguided classmates' ongoing harassment. Compartmentalization is a one-shot where Adrien/Chat Noir follows through with his threats to quit over not getting everything he wants from his 'partner', sending Plagg to Ladybug with his Ring. He never appears directly, and the story focuses entirely upon Marinette dealing with his betrayal, concluding that he's become one less thing to worry about. Fashion Upgrade: Downplayed with Marinette's classmates but Played Straight with Mlle. Bustier and Principal Damocles. They betray Marinette by declaring her to be the problem and booting her out of Bustier's class, and she eventually gets to call her former homeroom teacher out. The Karma of Lies show how the class's betrayal of Marinette, and especially Adrien's inaction despite knowing that Lila is lying and hurting Marinette, badly affected her. It also shows the class, especially Adrien, suffering well-deserved karma for their inaction. Adrien's case is especially poetic; because he shielded Lila from all the consequences she should have suffered for her many frauds, thefts, and lies, Adrien winds up suffering all those consequences in her place. LadyBugOut begins when Alya betrays Ladybug's trust by posting the photo she took in "Oblivio" to her blog without context, then insists that she's done nothing wrong because Ladybug being a Super Heroine makes her a public figure, and thusly doesn't have any right to privacy or fair representation. Ladybug responds by starting her own blog, ruining the Ladyblog's reputation by exposing her lies... which Alya naturally blames her for. Adrien/Chat Noir also betrays Ladybug by putting his personal desires first and foremost, trying to force her to accept his attention while claiming that their matched Miraculouses mean they're meant to be together. This escalates to the point of him losing the Black Cat Ring after an Accidental Public Confession exposes his entitlement to the public. Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Spite Playlist follows the titular character to a new school after the events of "Chameleon", where she proceeds to make new friends. Most of her former classmates are Demoted to Extras, save for Adrien, Chloé, Alya and Lila. The One to Make It Stay has "Chameleon" play out slightly differently, with Rose and the other members of Kitty Section discovering Lila's true nature. As a result, they become Marinette's support network, as she grows closer to the band... and to Luka, leading to her moving past her disappointment with Adrien and dating him instead. White Hot Morning in particular has her dealing with Alya and Chat Noir, standing up for herself against their poor behavior and asserting that she deserves better than what she's gotten from either of them. All the Laughs We Had in the Past, meanwhile, sees her confronting Chloé over her refusal to change, and the situation with Chat coming to a head when he tries to blame her for everything and loses his ring to Miracle Queen. to lose someone features Marinette's classmates tearing up her sketchbook on Lila's orders to 'teach her a lesson'. Marinette anticipated this, and turns it around on them by revealing that the sketchbook they just ruined was filled with projects she was working on for their benefit — and no, she has no intention of redoing any of that work. She then spells out for them just how much it would cost to commission her for any of that: far more than any of them could afford. |

The Final Battle is a betrayal fic where Ash is accused of murdering several of his friends. It was a frame job done by Team Rocket to try to get him killed. Because of circumstantial evidence, he's convicted, and his escape and subsequent years on the run (so as to protect his Charizard, who would be executed as a dangerous Pokemon) make him seem even more guilty. It's more of the softer type of betrayal fic, though, as Ash's former companions are still sympathetic and shown to have their doubts as to Ash's guilt, with Ash eventually beginning to forgive them as he heals from his own trauma. | |

Dozens if not hundreds of Harry Potter fics involve Harry's friends turning on him and throwing him into Azkaban. Enough so that this plot is mentioned on the series' Fandom Specific Plot page. In the aptly named ''The Betrayal of Harry Potter'' Harry is sent to Azkaban after Ron tells the judges Harry used an Unforgivable Curse. Only Hermione sides with Harry and he escapes to kill those that betrayed him, becoming a new Dark Lord. In Consequence, Harry is sent to Azkaban for the murder of Dolores Umbridge, and again no one believes him, not even Hermione and Ron. In Harry Potter and the Freedom of Apathy Harry is condemned for torturing Bellatrix Lestrange near the end of Order of the Phoenix. In Susan Bones and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry is thrown in Azkaban for Cedric Diggory's murder, and only Susan Bones believes he is innocent. |

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Chloe Cerise feels hemmed in by everyone's expectations of her. Her father and Childhood Friend care more about Pokémon than they do her, she feels overshadowed by 'Black Hole' Ash, who's swept in and gained their attention with ease, her classmates bully her for not being interested in Pokémon... and when she finally lashes out, Goh declares that she doesn't have the right to criticize anyone because she doesn't have any Goal in Life. This leads to her boarding the Infinity Train, coming into her own outside that toxic environment while everyone back in Vermillion starts to realize how much they neglected her. However, this genre of fic is Deconstructed as the story goes on. Rather than a black-and-white case where the accused are completely in the wrong, most of the problems hinged on vital communication breakdowns. Both Sides Have a Point; the fault lies on both ends. In the second arc, Goh sees himself as the victim of everyone else turning upon him in an Hourglass Plot. However, this stems in no small part from his refusal to admit any fault, having decided that Chloe should have taken it upon herself to repair their fraying friendship while he continued doing whatever he pleased. He also rejects all efforts Ash and others make to help him while continuing to lament how nobody is doing exactly what he wants. A Running Theme that develops as the story continues is the question of how much punishment is too much, and when it goes too far. This becomes especially clear when the Unown get involved, as they are able to take the tale into Revenge Fic territory — much to the collective horror of everyone else. |

invokedThere's been more than a few fics involving Sunset Shimmer from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls dealing with the fallout of Anon-A-Miss, the cyberbullying plotline of the 2014 IDW Holiday Special comic book. Most of these also cross over with Fix Fic that change the ending, depending on how much the author of the individual fic wants to demonize the culprits or the rest of the Equestria Girls: Bitter Tears: An Anon-A-Miss Fic has the Equestria Girls come down with a Heel Realization after being scolded about how they turned their backs on Sunset based on no evidence, and also deals with the fallout of the original culprits by showing what happens to them after they betray the trust of everyone at Canterlot High School. Hell and High Water has Rainbow as the only one of the Rainbooms to believe in Sunset's innocence, which has others view her as guilty by association. The duo end up as victims of attempted murder from a group of particularly disgruntled students, but they recover and start a new life attending Crystal Prep and handling new magical incidents alongside the Sirens. Last Light is a Dark Fic that starts while Sunset is still being bullied for supposedly being Anon-a-Miss. The bullying is so bad, especially by her former friends, that she ends up Driven to Suicide. The rest of the fic has Dash and the others dealing with the horrific consequences of their bullying. |

One such example being Deep Dive: When Aizawa accuses Midoriya of being the traitor due to his notebooks, the only one of his classmates willing to stand up and defend him is Mina — who winds up being accused of being his accomplice, arrested and tortured. While Nedzu and Tsukauchi intervene, the HPSC stonewalls them from saving Midoriya before he is Driven to Suicide. This gets Played With in that the majority of 1-A doesn't actually believe the accusations; they're just terrified of Aizawa, especially given how Mina is punished. Her calling out their Betrayal by Inaction leaves Uraraka so guiltridden that she nearly takes her own life as well. It's eventually revealed that the accusation itself was an excuse created by All Might and Aizawa to justify throwing Midoriya into Tartarus, the former because Midoriya had accidentally learned about One For All while the latter was spiteful over how Nedzu had blocked him from expelling Midoriya on Day 1. Both timed their stunt while the principal was away on business, with All Might throwing his weight around to ensure Midoriya stayed locked up for life. | |

Very common in Naruto fics, with there being writers that ONLY do Betrayal Fics. The most common are fics where the titular character is betrayed by friends and teammates, though you can easily find one with any combination of characters: Sakura's Determination is about Sakura awakening a kekkei genkai (which allows her to copy bloodlines and makes her immortal) after being betrayed by her teammates. Wrath of the Crimson Uzu is a Sasuke-bashing revenge fic where Naruto is thought to be dead after being betrayed by Sasuke during the fight with Haku. Four years later he comes back home super angry and ultra powerful. |

My Hero Academia: An entire sub-genre of fics involves Midoriya being suspected of being the U.A. Traitor, resulting in the majority of his classmates turning on and denouncing him as a result. The general setup tends to involve someone, usually Aizawa, coming to the conclusion Midoriya is the traitor due to circumstantial evidence such as his notebooks allegedly being used to catalogue the weaknesses of his peers, with all but a few of his classmates believing it. The few that don't turn on Midoriya tend to call the others out on this, and become Midoriya's sole friends for the fic, what happens after that tends to vary, with the others either being bashed for the remainder of the fic to prop up his defenders, or realizing they screwed up and apologizing, with Midoriya's bond with them restored, albeit nowhere near as strong as it once was. One such example being Deep Dive: When Aizawa accuses Midoriya of being the traitor due to his notebooks, the only one of his classmates willing to stand up and defend him is Mina — who winds up being accused of being his accomplice, arrested and tortured. While Nedzu and Tsukauchi intervene, the HPSC stonewalls them from saving Midoriya before he is Driven to Suicide. This gets Played With in that the majority of 1-A doesn't actually believe the accusations; they're just terrified of Aizawa, especially given how Mina is punished. Her calling out their Betrayal by Inaction leaves Uraraka so guiltridden that she nearly takes her own life as well. It's eventually revealed that the accusation itself was an excuse created by All Might and Aizawa to justify throwing Midoriya into Tartarus, the former because Midoriya had accidentally learned about One For All while the latter was spiteful over how Nedzu had blocked him from expelling Midoriya on Day 1. Both timed their stunt while the principal was away on business, with All Might throwing his weight around to ensure Midoriya stayed locked up for life. Unforeseen Consequences deals with Recovery Girl threatening to stop healing Izuku. While she meant this to dissuade him from pushing past his limits, Midoriya naturally interprets this as yet another example of a teacher deciding that he's not worth the effort of helping. Most of the story focuses on his attempts to compensate and stop 'bothering' his teachers with his problems, followed by their horror when this culminates in him trying to handle a broken wrist on his own. A recurring plot point in fics where Katsuki is revealed to have bullied Izuku for years is that the Bakusquad (Eijiro, Mina, Sero and Denki) will immediately turn their backs on him. Eijiro might try to defend him/downplay what's going on which invariably leads to Katsuki to double down and for the red head to cut the explosive quirked boy from his life for good. We're Not Friends Kacchan is a perfect example of this, right down with Eijiro beating the shit of Katsuki when the later shows absolutely no remorse over his treatment of Izuku. |

The same author also wrote The (Edit) War for Ash’s Freedom to not be Betrayed, in which an entity named Darkern Edgier tries to turn canon into a revenge fic while Arceus thwarts him at every turn, all while poking fun at the genre as a whole. He tries to do the same to the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic universe after Arceus boots him there in the end, but ends up Taken for Granite "two half-hour adventures and a few friendship moments later". | |

A two-pronged rendition in Cabin Fever Fan Fic, Cabin Fever: Parting Shot. Paul feels betrayed by the girl he's pursuing (and who, it's implied, has been leading him on), when he catches her having sex with some other guy after a night of heavy drinking. At the same time, Marcy feels betrayed when her boyfriend, Jeff, acts like "it's no big deal" after his best friend decided to insert himself into their lovemaking and create a threesome, without Marcy's consent. Soon enough, Marcy and Paul come to lean on one another for moral support with their own separate grievances, and eventually become a sexual pairing themselves. | |

Teen Titans: In The End of Ends, Beast Boy is "betrayed" by Terra and the rest of the team, the former for breaking up with him in "Things Change" and the latter for supposedly not caring about him. This leads to Beast Boy lashing out at them, and eventually becoming the supervillain Count Logan who wants to end the universe because everyone else is happy while he's miserable. | |

There are an astonishing number of stories in the Fairy Tail fandom where, for various reasons, Lucy is removed/kicked out of either Team Natsu or the guild as a whole. Often this is done to make way for Lisanna, who's typically characterized as a much worse person than she is in canon to make Lucy look better despite Lucy already being the character the reader is meant to sympathize with. | |

Friendship is Failure #10 is a Teen Titans/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic crossover that is also a rewrite of The End of Ends (which is under Western Animation). In this story, Beast Boy is "betrayed" by Terra and the rest of the team, the former for breaking up with him in "Things Change" and the latter for supposedly not caring about him. This leads to Beast Boy lashing out at them, and eventually becoming the supervillain Count Logan who wants to end the universe (which includes Equestria) because everyone else is happy while he's miserable. Wait, that sounds oddly familiar... | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: How I Lost My Mother has Princess Celestia betray Cozy Glow by stripping her daughter of her Magic and UnPersoning her for the sake of a prophecy that foretold Cozy might destroy Equestria, only to realize that she actually set those events into motion with that decision and trying to brush it all off; thinking that Cozy could just start a new life somewhere else; despite having taken everything from her Daughter and resulting in Cozy Glow wanting to tear apart Equestria for what Celestia did to her. Rainbow Factory sees Rainbow Dash betray Scootaloo by running a factory that mercilessly slaughters ponies, show no remorse for it, and attempt to kill Scootaloo to keep it all running without interruption, all while telling Scootaloo that she never loved her. |

Pokémon: The Series: The Final Battle is a betrayal fic where Ash is accused of murdering several of his friends. It was a frame job done by Team Rocket to try to get him killed. Because of circumstantial evidence, he's convicted, and his escape and subsequent years on the run (so as to protect his Charizard, who would be executed as a dangerous Pokemon) make him seem even more guilty. It's more of the softer type of betrayal fic, though, as Ash's former companions are still sympathetic and shown to have their doubts as to Ash's guilt, with Ash eventually beginning to forgive them as he heals from his own trauma. Pokémon Reset Bloodlines features a parody and a Take That! against Betrayal Fics in Chapter 24, and further jokes in the story, its omakes, and authorial commentary makes it clear the author very much dislikes them. In the process of mocking them the fic covers most of the basics of the genre as written in Pokemon: an assortment of Ash's friends and rivals telling him he sucks and that he should stop training for making them look bad, attacking him and trying to kill him (and often killing Delia if she is not part of the betrayal), either taking all of his Pokemon away or the Pokemon (either all or many) joining in said mutiny, Ash running off to Mt. Silver or somewhere similar to train and become 'badass' upon returning later, etc. The main point not covered in the jokes is the near obligatory return being set at a world championship tournament. The same author also wrote The (Edit) War for Ash’s Freedom to not be Betrayed, in which an entity named Darkern Edgier tries to turn canon into a revenge fic while Arceus thwarts him at every turn, all while poking fun at the genre as a whole. He tries to do the same to the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic universe after Arceus boots him there in the end, but ends up Taken for Granite "two half-hour adventures and a few friendship moments later". What A Wonderful Loss revolves around Misty and Brock abandoning Ash after he goes Disguised in Drag to the Celadon Gym. Even Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon turn on him. This causes Ash to turn to Erika for friendship and a romance soon blossoms between them. |

LadyBugOut begins when Alya betrays Ladybug's trust by posting the photo she took in "Oblivio" to her blog without context, then insists that she's done nothing wrong because Ladybug being a Super Heroine makes her a public figure, and thusly doesn't have any right to privacy or fair representation. Ladybug responds by starting her own blog, ruining the Ladyblog's reputation by exposing her lies... which Alya naturally blames her for. Adrien/Chat Noir also betrays Ladybug by putting his personal desires first and foremost, trying to force her to accept his attention while claiming that their matched Miraculouses mean they're meant to be together. This escalates to the point of him losing the Black Cat Ring after an Accidental Public Confession exposes his entitlement to the public. |

Chloe Cerise feels hemmed in by everyone's expectations of her. Her father and Childhood Friend care more about Pokémon than they do her, she feels overshadowed by 'Black Hole' Ash, who's swept in and gained their attention with ease, her classmates bully her for not being interested in Pokémon... and when she finally lashes out, Goh declares that she doesn't have the right to criticize anyone because she doesn't have any Goal in Life. This leads to her boarding the Infinity Train, coming into her own outside that toxic environment while everyone back in Vermillion starts to realize how much they neglected her. | |
