The Cutting the Knot version of Twist Endings. When this trope happens, it calls into question exactly how much of what you've seen was actually real or how to interpret what you have seen so far. A charitable creator (or one who wants to show off how clever the script is) might give you a Once More, with Clarity montage to help you work it out. One thing that is for certain, it creates a very different experience when you revisit the story. There are various associated tropes used in achieving this: Unreliable Narrator, when what we see is a deception on their part, possibly exaggerated due to "Rashomon"-Style. All Just a Dream (including Dying Dream), and by extension also Or Was It a Dream?. Through the Eyes of Madness, a Mind Screw with similar effects (we can't be sure how much of what we're seeing is true) but accomplished in a different way. Many tropes in the Gambit Index, where the true plan is revealed after it has already been accomplished. May be connected to a Kansas City Shuffle by one of the characters. Some specific tropes like Dead All Along or Tomato Surprise. See also Commercial Switcheroo, where an advertisement presents itself as being for one product, then the ending subverts it and makes it an ad for something else. For when the very end of a work changes everything, see All There in the Stinger. An associated term is "Paraprosdokian", where the ending of sentence or phrase causes the listener to reframe the meaning of the previous statement(s). The Other Wiki has more details and examples Note: This is a Spoilered Rotten trope, that means that EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE on this list is a spoiler by default and most of them will be unmarked. This is your last warning, only proceed if you really believe you can handle this list. |

All-New Ultimates: O'Reilly's group had orders to avoid the gangs, despite being a unit specifically made for fighting gangs. You could easily think that Police Are Useless, and that it was just an excuse to send the Ultimates to the action. Things are more complicated than that. Ecstasy has several cops under her influence, including O'Reilly's commanding officer, and she works for Hydra. SHIELD was working on it, but then the Galactus event and the break of SHIELD left the case hanging. | |

The Dexter fic Break Me Every Time is basically an alternate version of the show's last few episodes, which includes the revelation that Dexter and Debra's father Harry was killed by Doctor Vogel rather than committing suicide. This immediately throws the Morgans' views of their relationships with Harry into new focus, as it helps them realise that Harry did love them, rather than dismissing Dexter as a monster and deciding that Debra wasn't enough. | |

Pooh's Grand Adventure ends with the revelation that not only did the Skullasaurus not exist, but much of the movie was actually Through the Eyes of Madness, not a trope you would associate with Winnie the Pooh. After Christopher Robin finds them, they panic when they hear the unearthly sound of the Skullasaurus which had been stalking them throughout the movie. Christopher Robin just laughs and reveals that the only thing that makes a sound like that is Pooh's stomach. After they exit the skull shaped cavern, they notice that the cave looks entirely different than it did when they entered it. Christopher Robin explains that things can seem bigger and scarier when you're alone, or afraid, or someone's hurt. In the following song, we get to see what several of the scary locations they had been through really look like. There is also the revelation that Christopher Robin had just gone to school for viewers who are not literate enough know what S C H O O L actually spells. | |

In season two of Carmilla the Series, our heroes seem to run into trouble at every turn, even now that the Big Bad the Dean is ostensibly out of the way. Then one of the heroes has the camera to herself in the season finale...and the Dean gloatingly reveals that she possessed Perry all the way back at the end of season one, and has been running the show this whole time. | |

The Writing on the Wall: When the eponymous writing is deciphered at the end of the story, it is revealed that the Ancient Tomb that Adventurer Archaeologist Daring Do had been exploring wasn't a tomb at all, but a nuclear waste storage facility built by humans. Daring Do and the sick workers weren't suffering from any sort of pathogenic disease, but from radiation sickness. This turns the story into a Horror story in the realistic aftermath. | |

The final volume of Scott Pilgrim forces the reader to question the validity of the story the previous five told. Gideon Graves revealed to Scott that he has tampered with his memories as Scott's real ones were "boring" and the result is that it forces the reader to re-examine Scott as a character. The earlier volumes have him generally come off as an eccentric, pathetic hipster geek, but this image starts to crack and we get a better idea of why Scott's friends dislike him so much. It all builds up to the aforementioned final volume, where we see the innocent way Scott views himself is partially the result of Gideon tampering with his memories; it turns out, in reality, he was a major Jerkass to his friends and past girlfriends, and his breakup with Envy was apparently nowhere near as one-sided as it was made out to be. A recurring theme is Scott learning from his past mistakes instead of (literally) running away from them. | |

Alphabet, for a majority of the runtime, is about F terrorizing the other 25 letters of the alphabet, their futile efforts to stop him, and N in particular trying to overcome his cowardice. Then the two-part finale (nZ...) comes out and reveals why F went as far as it did—what looks like random, senseless violence turns out to be a very hurt and grudge-holding F lashing out at all the people he perceives as either bullies or Accomplices by Inaction. He hurts the alphabet because in his youth he was bullied by L and O, made to spell the forbidden word "frick", and got pummeled mercilessly by some of the other alphabet members for it. | |

Even before that, the previously "helpful" players, including those that played Pippin's father and grandmother, encourage Pippin to find fulfillment in suicide. | |

In the Total Drama fic Drain Bamage, Julia is helping a delirious MK to the medical tent after the latter is beaten up by a bear when MK reveals that she watched Julia's confessional about wanting to date her brain and ends up revealing her feelings for the other girl, which Julia, in her own way, reciprocates. Then comes the end of the story, where MK reveals that she was perfectly aware of what was going on and only acted the way she did in hopes of learning how Julia felt about her. | |

The Not Always Legal section includes this story, which chronicles a tale from the submitter's childhood, where a bully steals things from other neighborhood kids. The submitter gives him a minor injury in the process of preventing the bully from stealing her bike, and the bully's mother calls the police on her for it, at which point the submitter's dad gives them security footage of the bully's misdeeds. The submitter ends the story by saying that they later found out that his mother had been forcing him to steal to fund her drug addiction. The submitter admits that as a kid, they were just mad that the bully was sent to live with his aunt instead of being punished, but looking back on the situation they hoped that he was able to reform when removed from his abusive home. | |

Not Always Right: The Not Always Legal section includes this story, which chronicles a tale from the submitter's childhood, where a bully steals things from other neighborhood kids. The submitter gives him a minor injury in the process of preventing the bully from stealing her bike, and the bully's mother calls the police on her for it, at which point the submitter's dad gives them security footage of the bully's misdeeds.

The submitter admits that as a kid, they were just mad that the bully was sent to live with his aunt instead of being punished, but looking back on the situation they hoped that he was able to reform when removed from his abusive home. The Not Always Working section has a couple: This story has a manager start disciplining an employee in front of the company director for not delivering their reports on time. When the employee reveals three months' worth of reports stacked up on the manager's messy desk, the director turns the meeting around and disciplines the manager for ignoring them. In the last paragraph, the manager quits, whereupon the employee is offered his job...and discovers the manager was actually having a breakdown from overwork-induced stress for which the director was abusing him. This story in a recording studio focuses on the studio manager having locked the submitter and their friends into the studio at night, despite having been told to not start locking up because they were still there. The studio owner and his wife aren't very happy about the locked-in people and the resulting fire brigade appearance, including being reprimanded by them. They also aren't happy that this has resulted in them not being able to take a flight they had planned for that day. The last line reveals that the flight in question was Pan Am 103, which crashed after a bomb on board exploded. |

From Rest by janwithawhy, we have what appears to a genuinely sweet story of sisterly interactions between Satsuki and Ryuuko as they cuddle and tussle in bed, however, it's not, as the ending implies that Ryuuko was Dead All Along, leaving behind her ghost and a memory. Another fic, titled One Day by janwithawhy is done the same way. At first it seems like Mako is spending the day and reminiscing with Ryuuko but then it's revealed that Ryuuko had passed away some years prior. |

Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures has a mild version of this in Matilda's prequel story. Matilda as an Unreliable Voiceover tells the story of how she was banished from her tribe for killing her abusive brother, but the comic shows that her brother wasn't abusive at all; his death was actually suicide, but she was so angry with him for committing suicide that she lied to her tribe that she killed him for being weak. It seems at first that she is either lying or misremembering because she still hates her brother for killing himself, but the ending reveals that the voiceover is actually her telling her story on a talk show where she was pressured into changing her story to make herself sound better, which she now deeply regrets doing because it made everyone unsympathetic to her tribe and she now understands that her brother suffered from depression. | |

The Victorious fanfic Power Play centers around Jade West searching for her friend Sally Easterbrook, who mysteriously disappeared one day, and tracking her down to the Diamond Club, a BDSM club. She spends the whole story infiltrating it, pretending to be a sub, to discover what happened to Sally, and tells Tori of her memories with Sally. Chapter 55, aptly titled Sally Gone Home, finally reveals where she is and what happened to her- she is nowhere, because she never existed except in the mind of Jade herself. Jade used the name as an alias during her first visit to the Diamond Club, then went nuts and got injected with a drug that made her forget and dream of a girl called Sally. | |

Citadel of the Heart has quietly referred to Digimon Re: Tamers as taking place in the same Shared Universe as its fellow fics Reflection Code and Sword Art Online: Special Edition, specifically taking place almost a whole 20 years prior. A major plot hole existed for quite some time which seemed like it wasn't treated as such; Grandis was still in containment at the same facility Mirror M currently still is up until Reflection Code and especially during the entirety of Digimon Re: Tamers, and yet somehow Grandis is taking part in the events of the latter fic, but at the same time acting much differently from himself as seen in Sword Art Online: Special Edition. Then Chapter 16 of Digimon Re: Tamers reveals that the alleged plothole was completely intentional because there are in fact more than one Grandis; Grandis in Digimon Re: Tamers is subsequently Killed Off for Real in Chapter 16, which flat out confirms that the Grandis who would go on to appear in Reflection Code and Sword Art Online: Special Edition is not in fact the same Grandis who appears in Digimon Re: Tamers. Not only does this explain the drastically different characterization between the two versions of the character, but Grandis' Rage Against the Heavens rant in Sword Art Online: Special Edition takes on a whole new layer of meaning now that we know he's also referring to his alternate, deceased self from Digimon Re: Tamers and not just Ultima and Dragora Galaxia like what was initially assumed. | |

The Babyface/Stevie Wonder song "How Come, How Long" is about a woman who "lost her life" to an abusive husband.

There is a greentext story about a Game Master who pulled an epic Batman Gambit on his players in order to prove that he could. He told his players one day that he knew them well enough to predict what they would do but they didn't believe him. So he started a game of Dungeons & Dragons that started to get very strange. The players figure out that the D&D world is actually illusion. The GM then starts a game of d20 Modern with the same players where they have to figure out a way to save humanity from an apocalyptic scenario and has the players alternate between the two games each week. The players find out that the D&D world was actually built by humans and at the conclusion of the last session the GM tells them that they begin to regain memories but doesn't tell them what the memories are. In the D20 Modern game, the players decide to save humanity by Brain Uploading them into a virtual reality. When they come to the decision of how to design the virtual world one player says "Let's make it a game, like D&D." And then the realization hits them. | |

Despair Island appears to be an Immoral Reality Show that's fully supported by the Canadian government. Then the final chapters reveal that the whole thing is actually an illegal, underground enterprise, with the show being recorded for distribution on the black market rather than broadcast. | |

The final issue of Ex Machina shows Hundred is a ruthless man who did indeed fix the mayoral election. Thus, the entire series shows a man who was not a noble figure but rather manipulative and conniving for power. | |

The Buzz Lightyear of Star Command pilot movie begins with Buzz's partner Warp Darkmatter being killed in action, causing Buzz to suffer a severe case of Survivor Guilt. Near the end, it is revealed that Agent Z was Warp in disguise, he had faked his death on purpose, and had always been evil and working for Zurg. This reveal turns Buzz's Survivor Guilt and refusal to take a new partner into major Dramatic Irony. It also explains a lot of Warp's behavior in the beginning of the movie, how Zurg found out about the Uni-mind even though the prisoners he was torturing about it didn't talk, and why Agent Z was so good at fighting Buzz. | |

The majority of Ebenezer shows how Jacob Marley was a toxic influence in Ebenezer Scrooge's life, and how that plus the various crimes he committed changed him into a cold-hearted, selfish man—Marley impregnated and murdered his sister, taught him to only love money, convinced him his fiancee Emily was cheating on him, and foreclosed her orphanage on Christmas Eve, killing her and everyone else. The reveal that Scrooge knew what he was doing all along and didn't care, feeling there was no goodness in the world, changes the content of the entire play and Scrooge's entire character. | |

Born to Be Wilde: As Count Reynard is being hauled off behind bars, we see through a series of flashbacks and realizations among characters the final twist in a fic laden with them; everything after Marian's shooting was part of one giant plan, not to beat Nick or even enlist him in Reynard's criminal organization, but to let him win and paint him as a hero in the eyes of the city. From the back of the police van, Reynard smiles when he realizes his plan is complete thanks to the cameras broadcasting the entire finale, and that he has finally proven once and for all he's smarter than Nick. | |

Evan is a pretty cute film... until the end, then you watch it a second time and blame yourself for not noticing what was Hidden in Plain Sight. This PSA shows a young high school student communicating with an unknown girl by writing messages on a table in the library, then trying to build up the courage to talk to this girl he's crushing on. We see him leave her a cute note, her friends whisper to her about him, and a generally sweet love story which ends with the boy finally approaching her in the school gym... and that's when the doors open and another student with a gun comes in, ready to open fire. Watching the PSA a second time reveals that the young man was in the background of all of the previous shots, with clues indicating that he was miserable: he's bullied in the hallway, he mimes "shooting" a teacher with a finger gun as she passes by, he's reading magazines and watching videos about guns, and he even posts a photo where he's pointing a gun at the camera with this chilling message: "See you at school" . The idea is that people often miss "warning signs" of dangerous behavior, and given that many viewers were surprised by the ending, it certainly proved its point. | |

Old Man Quill is a spin-off series of Old Man Logan, starring Peter Quill of the Guardians of the Galaxy. In this Bad Future, Quill must retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier to stop the Universal Church of Truth, but keeps whining about the loss of Spartax, until the other Guardians take him out of his stupor and force him to go to Earth to find it. Many issues afterwards, they face the Imperial Guard, who tell him that he can't expect to defeat them all alone. He turns to his fellow Guardians, but they are not there. Instead, he remembers a video of them asking for help, and then dying. Mind tricks? Reality warping? No. If the older comics are read again, it can be noticed that Quill is the only character who ever talks to or interacts with anyone else (barring interactions between the Guardians themselves), and other characters reporting the events only talk about him and not about a band of aliens. | |

Tom Petty's "Into The Great Wide Open" has an optimistic tone and lyrics about an up and coming musician who learns guitar from a friend and starts getting into the big social scene and spending a lot of money. The future is limitless, nothing in his way... and then his producer flatly tells him his music isn't good enough. Know what else wasn't in his way? A safety net to catch him on the way down and now he has no idea where to go from here. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfics use this trope on occasion: The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo has Twilight Sparkle trying to find out who Scootaloo really is, but everyone she asks has their own wild take (such as being a secret agent, a vampire hunter, several variations of time traveler, the last survivor of planet Colton, and the Mysterious Mare Do Well) until she gets the truth straight from the filly's mouth when Scootaloo herself shows up. ...until the Stinger, when it turns out that Twilight is just a foal having a bad dream, and Scootaloo is her beloved stuffed doll. Also, Discord and Nightmare moon are her parents. Ruin Value features Celestia scavenging through the ruins of a city After the End. The ending reveals that the city in question was Seattle, Washington, and that the whole story was a Stealth Prequel to the entire series, set in Humanity's Wake, and that Luna, Celestia, and Discord are all products of human genetic engineering. Trust has Trixie brought before Celestia and chewed out for her antics in attempting to impress everyone with her prowess, resulting in everyone relying on her. Celestia explains how it can trap you in a cage, and when you let ponies down, it can have horrific consequences once they have begun depending on you. She loses her temper with Trixie, despite the unicorn's cowering, and eventually banishes her from her sight, before summoning Shining Armor to ask him if he has begun training others in his shield spell, only to find he has been slacking off because he trusts that Celestia will keep everyone safe. She reiterates the need for him to train another in his magic before she heads outside for the daily sun lowering ceremony. The Weedverse: The Entirely Optional Ending of A Knight To Remember reveals that the whole plot was concocted by Luna and Dim to try and force Nuance to overcome his Control Freak tendencies. The Writing on the Wall: When the eponymous writing is deciphered at the end of the story, it is revealed that the Ancient Tomb that Adventurer Archaeologist Daring Do had been exploring wasn't a tomb at all, but a nuclear waste storage facility built by humans. Daring Do and the sick workers weren't suffering from any sort of pathogenic disease, but from radiation sickness. This turns the story into a Horror story in the realistic aftermath. Wonderful is about a day Ditzy Doo will have. It'll be a pretty nice day, on balance, even if there are things that seem odd about it. And then one word hits you in the feelings with the help of all those helping verbs. |

The Not Always Working section has a couple: This story has a manager start disciplining an employee in front of the company director for not delivering their reports on time. When the employee reveals three months' worth of reports stacked up on the manager's messy desk, the director turns the meeting around and disciplines the manager for ignoring them. In the last paragraph, the manager quits, whereupon the employee is offered his job...and discovers the manager was actually having a breakdown from overwork-induced stress for which the director was abusing him. This story in a recording studio focuses on the studio manager having locked the submitter and their friends into the studio at night, despite having been told to not start locking up because they were still there. The studio owner and his wife aren't very happy about the locked-in people and the resulting fire brigade appearance, including being reprimanded by them. They also aren't happy that this has resulted in them not being able to take a flight they had planned for that day. The last line reveals that the flight in question was Pan Am 103, which crashed after a bomb on board exploded. |
