Had a bad afternoon one day 20 years or so ago where I did a precautionary shut down and cross-fed to the running engine.
Got everything sorted and, upon taking off the next morning, even though I had ostensibly enough fuel in the (unbalanced) mains per the book, the low side engine quit just at Vr on the roll, and, the rejection boiled the brakes making for an interesting turnoff at the end of the runway involving the (fortunately available differential thrust)
Happily I didn’t bend anything.
