History AntiVillain / Fanfiction

* In the FinalFantasyTacticsA2 fanfic FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire, a character named [[spoiler: Crow]] is this. He is regretful about the evil deeds he did and the author has written him as such. Eventually, he did a [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]].

* Fanfic/GameTheory does this with Precia Testarossa, who treats Fate considerably better and also makes it quite clear the reasons she is doing it to both Fate and Nanoha. Add in a [[PoorCommunicationKills minor incident]] with Chrono and Nanoha is now working with Precia to help her achieve her goals.

* Ashley in the BattleRoyale based ''SeventyTwoHours'' starts out as this before her HeelFaceTurn. Like many other students, she's just trying to stay alive, though unlike the overtly TechnicalPacifist students, she has no qualms with killing. Indeed, she has an innate streak for sadism and intends on destroying [[LaResistance SABRE]] from within. Luckily for them, however, her infiltration efforts lead her to realise that she's on the wrong side, and she becomes one of their greatest assets in the end. [[spoiler: Not to mention, she winds up the only character who ends the book alive.]]

* ''[[{{Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar}} Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'' has Black Star and Echo.

* In the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' AlternateUniverseFic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7189428/1/Prison_Island_Break Prison Island Break]]'', the protragonists are barely even [[DesignatedHero Designated Heroes]]. Their goal to escape prison isn't particuarly noble; all admit guilt, and most intend to commit more crimes on their escape. Their crimes include murder, rape, bank-robbery, fraud on a global scale (Tails claims to have nearly made himself the sole owner and stockholder of Sony), escaping other prisons, and what boils down to terrorism. It's the MoralityKitchenSink. However, since the story is told mostly from their perspective, and their jailer is a CompleteMonster, SympathyForTheDevil ensues to some degree.

* Played with in FanFic/DungeonKeeperAmi. The titular character is not a villain by any stretch of the imagination, as expected from one of the heronies from [[spoiler: SailorMoon]]. However, her goal of returning to her home dimension potentialy endangers ''billions'', by allowing the [[GodOfEvil Dark Gods]] to follow her, and refuses to be disuaded. As such the Light reluctantly fights against her in several instances.

* In Fanfic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace, a story based on the WesternAnimation/MegaMan cartoon, Protoman has a policy to not kill, and it's clear that Wily's programming is what makes him unable to defy the doctor. He was also ''very'' conflicted over the HeelFaceMole part of "Brothers".

* [[KND Numbuh 86]], along with the rest of the Decommissioning Squad, oddly enough were given the Anti-Villian treatment in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6314936/1/Operation_REBEL Operation:REBEL]]'' In the story, they seek to capture and [[BrainWashingForTheGreaterGood Decommission]] a trio of 13-year-old KND Operatives who are looking for a group of anti-decommissioning rebels called the Kids Eternally There to seek protection from the Squad, the now teenaged Operatives honest don't see themselves wanting to betray the KND for any reason, but Numbuh 86 is worried that betrayal from escaped teen Operatives would be inevitable and strongly believes decommissioning the 13-year-old Operatives is the only way to assure that doesn't happen.

* Sympathetic or not, it's undeniable that ''FanFic/AeonNatumEngel'' version of Migou got a valid point for justifying their war against humanity. Namely about possibly causing a ruckus with their Arcanotech that will wake up certain cosmic horrors, Cthulhu included.

* Deadlock, the BigBad of [[Fanfic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn The Legend Of Spyro: A New Dawn]]. She didn't ''want'' to be evil and her own words state she has her regrets. She's just lost everything, including her sanity, and feels that Spyro and Cynder are responsible for her tragic life, prompting her to attempt revenge. She also feels like her present plan is the only thing she hasn't tried in order to get something extremely important to her. On top of this, she's a very good queen to the Naga and treats them with respect, even being called the best queen they've ever had by some of them.

* In the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' AlternateUniverseFic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7189428/1/Prison_Island_Break Prison Island Break]]'', the guys you're supposed to be rooting for are barely even [[DesignatedHero Designated Heroes]] - their goal to escape prison isn't especially noble since most are unrepentant, and some actively intend to return to their criminal ways as soon as they get over that fence. However they are portrayed in a sympathetic manner since the guy keeping them behind bars is a CompleteMonster, and much of the story is told from their perspective. It would be way too easy to forget they're a bunch of murderers, rapists, con-men, thieves and terrorists.

* In the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' AlternateUniverse fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7189428/1/Prison_Island_Break Prison Island Break]]'', the protragonists range from Type V Anti-Heroes to Type III Anti-Villains.
