* ''Fanfic/FracturesATLA'': Mai and Ty Lee commit this and attack Azula after hearing her bragging about burning down the Earth Kingdom.

** Gambit after being used by a third party to help release Apocalypse.
** David Xanatos joins forces with the Gargoyles to fight off crime.
** Galatea after the technology controlling her is broken in battle.

* ''Fanfic/{{SAPR}}'' (''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' & ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''): Has several over the course of its story.
** Sunset Shimmer and her path from selfishness and wickedness to TheFettered which takes up much of the first half of the fic.
** [[spoiler:Cinder Fall]] has the second most time devoted to their redemption, and it's mostly thanks to her friendship with the above.
** [[spoiler:Gilda]] grapples with the morality of her position as part of the White Fang terrorist for a long time before deciding to defect rather than hurt children.
** Cardin Winchester, true to his appearance in canon, starts off as as one of the biggest jerks around and minor foe that inadvertently helps Sunset with her gradual alignment shift just because it's like looking into a mirror for her.

* ''Fanfic/PsalmOfTheLark'' is a ''DCAU''-verse fanfic set after ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker''. While recovering both mentally and physically from the events of the film, Harley Quinn decides that she owes Batgirl for saving her life. Eventually she is allowed out of Arkham and ends up on the road to becoming a part of the Batfamily.



* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'':
** Played with in "The Clouds." Soapy abandons his life as an alcoholic bum when he meets his OneTrueLove. He's always been a good guy regardless, just unmotivated to reform himself and clean up his act.
** When Charlie, the title character in "The Coyote," is first portrayed, he's seen as a sneaky, lying, manipulative trickster who has been caught hanging around Bolt's yard, hoping to catch Mittens off guard and eat her. Bolt spares his life, lets him have a meal of leftovers from the garbage can, and sends him on his way. The coyote returns the favor when he encounters Bolt lying injured on the road after falling during a conditioning run, luring a nearby farmer to where the dog is lying so he can be taken to the vet. Charlie explains his behavior to the pooch.
--->'''Charlie:''' Nah. I just kinda figured you might need a little help. Saw you lying there after you stumbled and fell. I knew that farmer would chase me out and happen onto you, hopefully would run you off to a clinic or something. Y’know, most members of my species woulda gone for your throat and made a fast meal of you when you’re down like that.
--->'''Bolt:''' So -- why didn’t you?
--->'''Charlie:''' ''[chuckling]'' Funny thing. There was something you said back at your place that got to me. You remember, about appealing to my better nature and all that? Turns out I’ve actually got one. Who knew?
--->'''Bolt:''' And you couldn’t bring yourself to kill me, am I right?
--->'''Charlie:''' ''[asserting with a grin]''' Not in a million years. You could’ve done away with me when we first met, but you didn’t. Instead, you took pity on me, helped me out when I needed it most. I’ve been thinking a lot about that ever since. Returning the favor was the least I could do.
