* ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'':
** Queen Chrysalis is offered ''several'' chances to end her plans to conquer Equestria and enslave the inhabitants. Even after it becomes clear that befriending and working with ponies is beneficial to the Changelings (as it creates much more love that does not get used up like when the Changelings drain it by force), and even after seeing alternate worlds where she accepted the chance to reform and was happy, Chrysalis still refuses out of misplaced pride and a bad case of RevengeBeforeReason.
** The Nameless Filly crafted the Concept Killing Spear and murdered Cupid with it, which {{Ret Gone}}d Cupid and every creature in the universe who existed because of him. After she died, the gods confronted her with the consequences of her actions and gave her several chances to repent and atone. However, even seeing all the damage she had done and being threatened with Hell failed to invoke a shred of remorse and she refused to apologize, so into Hell she went. Inmates in Hell will be released if they genuinely want to atone for their actions, but it becomes clear that she never will.
* In Volume II of ''FanFic/SpectacularSeven'', Moondancer is offered several chances to open up to someone about her troubles: the BigBad is essentially holding Moondancer and her father hostage, she has to [[BecomingTheMask put on different masks every time she goes outside]], she desperately wants Twilight Sparkle's love and affection, and she feels like [[IJustWantToBeSpecial she'll never be as good as other people in her life]]. Moondancer's uncle Artemis dotes on her and treats her nicely with no ulterior motive, and Twilight tries to lift Moondancer's spirits even [[ObliviousToLove without knowing that Moondancer is in love with her]].

* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'': When Hinata finds out that [[spoiler:Toneri]] broke out of the Kotoamatsukami brainwashing, [[HopeSpot she tells him they don't have to be enemies anymore, and he agrees...]] but immediately refuses her offer to join them to take down Akatsuki, stating that he wants to let the war rage on so the current world can be destroyed, as he feels it's beyond saving. Him stating his plan to become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki and become the ruler of the new era [[spoiler:[[WeCanRuleTogether with Hinata as his queen]]]] is what makes her realize he's beyond redemption.
[[AC:''Series/OddSquad'']]
* In ''Fanfic/AllMixedUp'', Carlos tries to get Mariana Mag to stop what she's doing by reminding her of all the good times she had with him back when she was employed with Odd Squad as Agent Ocean, and by trying to get her to realize that what she's doing is wrong and full of flaws. Mariana is actually stricken by his words and appears to be won over by him, but then she reverts right back to being evil and tells him that she has to finish what she started. Unfortunately for her, Otto, who used the redemption offer and subsequent distraction to his advantage, figures out how her alphabet keyboard works and uses it to induce HoistByHisOwnPetard as Mariana fires a beam from her lifeline at him and he uses [[MirrorsReflectEverything his compact handheld mirror]] to [[AttackReflector return it to sender]]. Once she's revived by Oprah, she has a genuine HeelFaceTurn and begins to atone for her actions.
[[AC:''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'']]
* ''Fanfic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness Act IV'': For the first few chapters, Luna Cii's [[CainAndAbel evil sister]], Falla, appears willing to clean up her act through several acts of kindness... but in chapters 10 and 11, just as Luna is convinced that Falla has changed and finishes the spell to restore her magic, Falla promptly drops the act and slices Luna in half before cruelly gloating to the others that her attempts at redemption were all just an act in order to dupe Luna into giving her her magic back. By the end of chapter 11, however, Falla is killed by a far more genuinely benevolent AlternateTimeline version of herself, who takes her place in the mainstream timeline.
