* ''Fanfic/ServiceWithASmile'': Mercury calls Velvet "babe" because he likes the dangerous look in her eyes when she's annoyed. This might also be why he constantly antagonizes his partner Emerald, though with her he's not stupid enough to get caught staring at her ass. Both Velvet and Emerald could fight him on an even level, but the difference is that Emerald ''would''.

* In the ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'' and ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' crossover fanfic ''Fanfic/TradeWinds'', Desmond Miles, with his devil-may-care attitude, finds William Laurence's [[TheComicallySerious utter seriousness]] and [[HonorBeforeReason strict adherence to duty and protocol]] amusing and adorable. Of course, he would never dare to express this thought outside his narration, likely because Laurence would probably go purple at the impropriety of it.
