* In many ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfics which reveals Bakugou's SuicideDare to Izuku to all of 1A, Kirishima's refusal to accept it or attempts to claim it's fake destroys his friendship with Mina and successfully destroys all attempts he has at building relations up.
** This is far more profound in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/55513570/chapters/141262219 MHA Alternate Universe: Silencio]]'', where Mina ends her friendship with Kirishima when he refuses to believe that Bakugou would've suicide-baited Izuku when he fought against people who did the same thing (with one incident resulting in an AttemptedSuicide), making her realize that Kirishima is a {{Hypocrite}} if someone is 'manly' in his eyes. The only reason it was hard for everyone to see it like that was because Kirishima was more social than Izuku was.

**Wuya used to be a Xiaolin Dragon, and according to Dojo was considered a close friend by the rest (with it even being implied Dashi was in love with her), before she gave into her lust for power.
**[[spoiler: The Collector befriended Kimiko when she found [[SealedEvilInACan his mirror]] as a young child, being the OnlyFriend she had for most of her childhood. She thus spent years trying to find a way to free him, eventually hitting on the idea to upload him into a virtual reality that her father created, from which he could spread across the internet. However, when this nearly succeeded and caused widespread chaos as a result, Kimiko was horrified, and convinced that the Collector had lied to and used her; in the present, she's still infuriated at even the mention of him.]]

This is because she disapproved of Silverstream's relationship with Gallus, who was not only a non-hippogriff, but an orphan with no noble blood and nothing to his name. This shocked everyone that Novo would go that far, including her own family. When Silverstream defied her, even after she demanded the end of their relationship, she permanently stripped Silverstream of her noble ranking as punishment, which lead to her daughter Princess Skystar challenging her for the throne and successfully overthrowing her as ruler of the hippogriffs. Now, [[HatedByAll nobody remembers Novo fondly]], despite some members of her family reaching out to her, and Silverstream refuses to have anything to do with her until she finally accepts not just Gallus, but their son Garrus as part of the family.

* In ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'', Leviathan at one point muses on a friendship she'd made with a human while she was still involved in environmental work. The human in question was a decent and charming guy who approved of her work, and she stayed in contact with him for years. After Copy X took power, he called out Leviathan for supporting the murderous actions of a madman, forcefully rejected the Reploid's weak efforts at defending the tyrant, and ended the call they were on. From that point down to her "death" against Omega they never spoke to each other again, though she still wonders from time to time if he's doing alright.

* In ''Fanfic/NecessaryToWin'', Ami and Takako follow this trope. They were friends since they joined the Nishizumi School together, until Ami's disagreement with Takako over the latter's harsh methods of discipline as coach of Black Forest drove a wedge between them. Both remain close with their mutual friend, Kikuyo, though.
* Olga and Celestine from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls''. The enslavement of dark elves by human slavers caused the former's FantasticRacism towards humanity. Although the latter tried to convince the former that there is still good among the group she hated, it was all for naught, and they broke off their friendship due to their conflicting views, as well as the resulting ForeverWar between the two. Fortunately, they get better later on.
* In ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'', Misato and Ritsuko were friends... until the former got wind of the secrets of NERV. Misato's last straw was Ritsuko mocking her family's destruction [[spoiler:shortly after murdering Kaji]].

[[AC:''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'']]
* In ''Fanfic/{{Reconciliation}}'', Hanako has this with Lilly and Hisao. The fic takes place after her bad ending, in which [[spoiler:she snapped over being pitied by Hisao and angrily said she hated him and Lilly]], then isolated herself from them out of guilt. This leads to an awkward moment when Hanako introduces her publicist and friend Sho to Lilly, who is unable to describe Hanako as anything more than someone she knew in high school, despite never having been angry with her for how she acted. [[spoiler:By the end, the two have renewed their friendship and Lilly visits Hanako in Japan to catch up]].
* In ''Fanfic/WeekendAtHisaos'', Hisao ends up encountering his friends who, in the prologue to the game, stopped visiting after a few weeks, and hears that they have a get-together planned with his former crush Iwanako. It takes some coaxing from Shizune and Misha before Hisao decides to attend, but the meeting goes fairly well [[spoiler:and his old friends end up getting invited to his wedding a few years later]].

--->Her work was all that mattered to her. But that didn't invalidate the fact that Ritsuko was the one person Misato could call a friend. Even if she disagreed with her, she could at least be honest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come.

-->After all, if Shinji was right, Ritsuko, good ole Rits herself was fully aware of the ultimate goals of the Evangelion project.\\
Hell, she was up to her ever so pretty neck in it.\\
Meaning he had no choice but to treat her as an enemy. Someone he had known for close to a decade and he thought he knew well... and thought of as a friend.\\
It was no easy shift to make in ones thinking, even for him.

* ComicBook/{{Superboy}} and teenager ComicBook/LexLuthor in ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn''. As recounted by Lex's niece, they were friends until Lex started blaming Superboy for anything bad happened to him. After Lex attempted on Superboy's life, the Kryptonian teenager broke their friendship off. Even so, Superboy kept -- uselessly -- trying to reach Lex out through the years.
-->'''Nasthalthia Luthor:''' Superboy stomps back in, and he doesn't look pleased. Lex figured either he's going to get hit, or taken to jail, or both. But Blue Boy doesn't do either thing. He said that, since Lex saved his life once, he was going to give him a break and not take him in. He said that squared the debt between them. But he also said that he would never trust him again, that he could never see Lex as a friend again, and, believe it or not, that hurt Lex. Don't ask me or him why, but he said it did hurt.



%%* In ''Naruto Veangance Revelaitons'', this trope could be said to define Ronan and Taliana's relationship, along with FaceHeelRevolvingDoor on Taliana's part. After several chapters of Taliana repeatedly switching sides, Ronan arbitrarily loses patience with her and gets a divorce from her. She makes several more attempts to kill Ronan for Madara, but he's still attracted to her [[spoiler:despite her being his mother]], and they have sex on a few occasions. [[spoiler:Then the author broke up with the girlfriend who served as Taliana's inspiration, and Ronan kills her while claiming that [[RetCon he knew all along that she was evil]].]]
* In ''Fanfic/NecessaryToWin'', Ami and Takako follow this trope. They were friends since they joined the Nishizumi School together, until Ami's disagreement with Takako over the latter's harsh methods of discipline as coach of Black Forest drove a wedge between them. Both remain close with their mutual friend, Kikuyo, though.
* In ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'':
** Misato and Ritsuko subverted this at the beginning. They broke their friendship off during the Angel War, but they kind of made up afterwards (though emphasis on ''kind of''). Misato also considered that Ritsuko was her only friend left.
--->Her work was all that mattered to her. But that didn't invalidate the fact that Ritsuko was the one person Misato could call a friend. Even if she disagreed with her, she could at least be honest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come.
** However, when she finds out that [[spoiler:that Ritsuko has used Asuka to test the Emerald Tablet, [[AIIsACrapshoot a dangerous sentient computer program]], by putting it inside Unit-02, leading to Asuka being driven to the brink of insanity, [[NewMeat the new pilot, Keiko]], getting seriously injured, and Shinji almost getting killed]], Misato decides that [[ThisIsUnforgivable she can't forgive Ritsuko this time]]:
--->"I swear she's done some awful things in her life, but I will never forgive her for that."
* Olga and Celestine from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls''. The enslavement of dark elves by human slavers caused the former's FantasticRacism towards humanity. Although the latter tried to convince the former that there is still good among the group she hated, it was all for naught, and they broke off their friendship due to their conflicting views, as well as the resulting ForeverWar between the two. Fortunately, they get better later on.

* In ''Fanfic/DaughterOfFireAndSteel'', Jor-El and Dru-Zod were friends and colleagues until Zod staged a coup against the Science Council and Jor-El refused to support him.
-->'''Dru-Zod:''' Be reasonable Jor. The last thing I want is for us to become enemies El. Join me and save Krypton.\\
'''Jor-El:''' You've have abandoned the principles that bound us together. You've taken up the sword against your own people. I will honor the memory of the man you once were. Not the monster you've become.\\
'''Dru-Zod:''' ''[coldly, to his men]'' Take him away.

[[AC:''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'']]

* In ''[[http://apostlegirl.livejournal.com/ Ignorance, My Bliss]]'', the nations get energy boosts by [[spoiler:drinking each other's blood, essentially making them all addicts.]] They discover that [[spoiler:no one has fed off of America ever, meaning that his blood will give them a lot of strength]], and don't hesitate at all to chase him down and [[spoiler:drain him of his blood. Japan even tells America that though they're friends, his blood is just too tempting]]. And then, it turns out that [[spoiler:even ''Canada'' turned on America, only pretending to save him so he'd have a chance to get him alone]].

[[AC:''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'']]
* ''Fanfic/FFSIBelieveInYou'': In the sequel, Murchadh and Uisdean used to be fairly close friends, when they were children, before Uisdean's increasing megalomania and obsession with power drove them apart and eventually forced Murchadh to join the rebellion against him.

* The relationship between Roll and Maylu in ''Fanfic/MaylusRevenge''.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* PlayedWith in ''[[Fanfic/TheLamentSeriesChaoticNeutral Chloe's Lament]]'':
** Before Chloe makes her [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy reality-altering Wish]], Adrien [[GrewASpine grows a spine]] and calls her out on her [[ItsAllAboutMe sheer selfishness]], enfuriated by her complete lack of concern for anyone other than herself. As part of this, he admits that he'd been [[SelectiveObliviousness willfully ignoring]] all the signs that she [[LovingAShadow wasn't who he thought she was]]. Chloe treats this as a [[EtTuBrute massive betrayal on his part]].
** In the rebooted reality, Adrien remains Chloe's OnlyFriend. However, she overhears him confessing to another friend that he really doesn't consider her to be one anymore, and sticks by her side partly out of pity over how she's isolated herself with her bullying ways... and partly out of fear that if he officially broke their friendship off, her tantrum would get ''him'' in trouble. Chloe teeters on the verge of a HeelRealization before [[IgnoredEpiphany angrily reassuring herself that SHE'S the one who's been betrayed]].
* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'': After realizing that Adrien [[LovingAShadow wasn't who she thought he was]] and that the rest of her classmates were [[FairWeatherFriend Fair-Weather Friends]] who abandoned her for [[ManipulativeBitch Lila]], Marinette decides that she's done [[IWarnedYou trying to save them]] from the ConArtist and transfers into Mrs. Mendeleiev's class, cutting them out of her life. Ironically, they've just learned that [[spoiler:she's Ladybug]] and are eager to get back into her good graces, only to [[NotHelpingYourCase keep sabotaging any chance]] of salvaging the relationship with their [[EntitledBastard entitled attitudes]] [[EasilyForgiven towards her forgiveness]].
* ''Fanfic/LadyBugOut'':
** After posting a questionable photo of Ladybug and Chat Noir to her Ladyblog, deliberately omitting the context for the sake of getting attention, Alya argues that she has every ''right'' to do so as Paris' biggest source of Ladybug news. Marinette responds by helping her own SecretIdentity set up a blog of her own to set the record straight. Alya sees this as a massive betrayal, and her stubborn insistence that [[NeverMyFault she's the real victim]] and that Marinette should apologize to ''HER'' leads to their friendship being completely broken off.
--->'''Alya:''' I can't be friends with someone who won't apologize and can't even see what she did.\\
'''Marinette:''' I can't be friends with someone like that either. So I guess we're not friends anymore.
** Adrien and Marinette's relationship also falls apart due to his insisting that Chat Noir [[EntitledToHaveYou deserved that kiss]], regardless of the circumstances. Later, she learns that [[spoiler:Adrien ''was'' Chat Noir]], and while willing to show him kindness and prevent [[spoiler:his identity from being revealed to the world after he becomes Catastrophe]], her old feelings for him effectively dissolve.
* ''Fanfic/MarinetteDupainChengsSpitePlaylist'':
** Marinette and Alya's friendship falls apart after she transfers out, as Alya feels insulted that she didn't warn her. Once it becomes clear that Alya ''still'' won't hear her out [[CassandraTruth regarding Lila]], dismissing her feelings and blowing her off, Marinette responds to her saying "Maybe we shouldn't be friends at all!" with "Maybe we shouldn't."
** [[ManipulativeBitch Lila]] convinces Alya that she had a falling out with Ladybug, and that the superheroine is actually a BitchInSheepsClothing.
* ''Fanfic/TheOneToMakeItStay'' also sees Marinette and Alya's friendship hit a rocky patch. While Marinette attempts to soften the blow and spare her feelings as much as possible, she eventually requests that they take a break from each other over the summer, using the time to cool down. While Alya was the one to force the issue in the first place, she takes the separation harder... and critically treats it as though they've broken off their friendship ''for good'' rather than just taking a breather.
* ''Fanfic/OfPatienceAndPettiness'': After seeing just how easily her classmates turned against her once Lila reentered the picture, Marinette no longer considers them to be her friends. Only the ones who prove willing to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone admit their mistakes]] and [[MustMakeAmends strive to make amends]] are able to salvage their relationships with her. Alya, by contrast, [[NeverMyFault refuses to acknowledge she did anything wrong]] and tries to insist that they're still besties despite all evidence to the contrary.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* It's common in fanfiction to show that Celestia and Luna used to be friends with [[MadGod Discord]] before he turned into an EvilOverlord and they had to use the Elements of Harmony on him.
* Obviously crops up in ''Fanfic/InnerDemons'', as the entire plot is driven by Twilight Sparkle succumbing to her EnemyWithin and becoming the new BigBad her friends have to fight.
** Also an element in [[{{Deuteragonist}} Apple Bloom's]] subplot. Her friendship with the other Cutie Mark Crusaders (primarily Scootaloo) falls apart after an argument in which she makes it clear she wants to take her search for her Cutie Mark more seriously. [[spoiler: Later on, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are [[MoreThanMindControl talked into]] {{Face Heel Turn}}s, while Apple Bloom stays on the side of the protagonists.]] Notably, Sweetie Belle clearly still cares about their friendship and wants it back [[spoiler: which is why she tries to talk Apple Bloom into switching sides as well]].

[[AC:''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Misato and Ritsuko were friends, but due to Ritsuko's behavior they're falling apart. In chapter 8, Misato wonders if Ritsuko is still her friend.
* The entire point of the the sadly discontinued ''[[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha]]'' DarkFic ''Betrayers'', which divides the cast into a bloody civil war. Spoken practically word for word by Fate.
* Asuka and Rei in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'' managed to get along, even though both girls liked the same boy… but after the battle against the [[EldritchAbomination Violator]] where [[spoiler:Rei hurt Asuka unwillingly but brutally]], their friendship all but came to an end.
* In ''Fanfic/GhostsOfEvangelion'' Misato tries to remember Ritsuko for what she was rather than she became when they broke their friendship off.
-->'''Misato:''' I compared you to my best friend, not to the monster she became.
* {{Downplayed}} in ''Fanfic/TheGospelOfMalachel''. Shinji tentatively befriended Terry and even moved to his apartment; but when Terry balks at helping Shinji [[spoiler:stop Asuka from committing suicide, and he bluntly states he would have let her fall to her death]], Shinji calls him out and moves back to Misato's place. Shinji does not openly declare their friendship over, but he does not talk to Terry again.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'']]
* In ''Fanfic/CourtneysCrusadeForRedemption'', the older Courtney reveals that, because of her previous actions, Bridgette (her OnlyFriend in canon) ended their friendship a long time ago. Also, Duncan lost all his friends because of him destroying Chris' [[InsistentTerminology cottage]] and going to jail.

[[AC:''Literature/{{Worm}}'']]
* This is a common trope in ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfics, such as ''Fanfic/{{Atonement}}'', ''Fanfic/{{Intrepid}}'', ''Fanfic/QueenOfTheSwarm'', ''Fanfic/ATaleOfTransmigration'', and ''Fanfic/{{Outcry}}''. Emma and Taylor have a shared friendship that ended after Emma ends up being attacked and, seeking to change her world view, leads to Taylor [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening triggering]] from a bullying campaign gone too far. Even if Emma tries to redeem herself, like in those fanfics listed above, Taylor will not forgive her in several of those stories.

* In the ''Fanfic/PoniesOfOlympus'' series, Rarity and her [[TheRival rival]] Ran Biao used to be friends when they were growing up together in [[OldMaster Lao Wu]]'s dojo, until Ran Biao grew [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] over Rarity's [[AlwaysSecondBest superior talent]], and crossed the line by seducing and stealing Rarity's LoveInterest Razorwing.

** As it turns out, [[spoiler:Ran Biao didn't steal Razorwing — she was [[AllLoveIsUnrequited in love with Rarity]], and when she [[ClingyJealousGirl tried to get Razorwing to break up with her]], he [[RapeAsDrama raped her]]. Rarity misunderstood the situation and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero left them to it]]; Ran never forgave her for that]].
* In the ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Reconciliation}}'', Hanako has this with Lilly and Hisao. The fic takes place after her bad ending, in which [[spoiler:she snapped over being pitied by Hisao and angrily said she hated him and Lilly]], then isolated herself from them out of guilt.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' fic ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'', after Jade turns evil once again, her family and friends still care deeply about her, to the point that they are willing to FIGHT her so that they can return them to normal, even though her feelings towards them have been twisted by Daolon Wong's faulty spell, especially [[spoiler:towards Tohru, since he became Uncle's apprentice instead of her]].
* Subverted in ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' with Misato and Ritsuko. They almost broke their friendship off, but an unintended side-effect of Shinji and Asuka’s meddling with the timeline was they patched things up after [[spoiler:the destruction of the clones of Rei]].

* In ''Webcomic/TeamRocketRoots'', Jessie and Cassidy grew up together and were childhood friends. Cassidy, however, found she couldn't deal with Jessie's mood switches and temper, so they've since become rivals at best and enemies at worst. By the epilogue, the two are on friendly terms again, if VitriolicBestBuds.
