* ''Fanfic/HoursVerse'': During the sinking of Shido's Palace, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath Akechi]] helps tip the ladder to the lifeboat controls so Ryuji can make it back to the boat safely, meaning he can't make it back himself before the cruiser goes under. Subverted when it's revealed that his death in the metaverse meant [[DisneyDeath he ended up in the Velvet Room]].

* ''Fanfic/OnceUponADecemberNight'': April's parents both pulled this trope. When the O'Neill family was KidnappedForExperimentation, April's parents figured out a way to escape. Kirby pulled the YouShallNotPass variant, staying behind to stall the Kraang. April and her mother made it into New York City, but they were followed. April's mother hid her daughter behind a dumpster before she pulled a defiant LastStand on the Kraang bots (who shot her before they were defeated by Splinter). April's mother lived long enough to ask Splinter to look after April before she [[DiedInYourArmsTonight died in his arms]]. [[HarmfulToMinors Because of how traumatic these events were]], April [[TraumaInducedAmnesia blocked them out]] and didn't seriously think on them until her teens, [[HappilyAdopted fully accepting Splinter, the Turtles, and the Murikamis as her family.]]

** In the Battle Finale of Legend, Ash responds to a Roar of Time by throwing [[EquippableAlly Kari]] to the side. Well, most of her, anyways. Part of her tassel was caught in the beam, which is important. He's unable to dodge and is [[NoBodyLeftBehind vaporized.]]

* In ''Fanfic/BlueSky'', Wheatley decides to invade [=GLaDOS=]' systems, and overwhelm her with ideas that she considers bad, using a mechanism inside his own programming that made him think all his bad ideas are good. He succeeds in shutting down [=GLaDOS=], but at an awful price: He is stuck as files. He is eventually going to essentially fade into nothing. He survives and gets a body as a thank you from Caroline.
