* An episode of ''Anime/MushiShi'' does this with Ginko's Backstory. After he and his mother encounter misfortune in the forest, his mother winds up dead and he is found by a helpful but dismissive stranger who tells him that she doesn't want him to stick around long the instant he wakes up. As the days pass he repeatedly asks to stay with her only to firmly be denied each time.

He nearly meets the same fate but escapes mostly unscathed save for loss of an eye.

[[folder:Fan Fiction ]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' collaboration series ''Fanfic/{{Ponyfall}}'', the basic intro for each of the stories is that a [[AuthorAvatar self-insert of the author]] finds a pony-[[HumanityEnsues turned-human]] (usually NakedOnArrival and unconscious) and takes them in.
* This is common in fanfiction to begin with. Usually seen in Self-Inserts, the protagonist [[AuthorAvatar (or the writer)]] either from the real world, or pre-existing in the fictional world it's based in, would either be caught up in a fight that leaves them at near-death, or the travel getting there would be damaging enough, and they would be found by one of the main characters of the world they are currently in. Whether it leads to a friendship, or a romantic relationship (usually the latter) depends on the story.
