Green-Eyed Monsters in Fan Works.
Crossovers
- Downplayed in Amazing Fantasy. All his life, Izuku was ostracized and bullied for being Quirkless, and he began to resent the people around him for it. He tends to bury his resentment underneath his admiration for Heroes, but it comes out in his bitter internal snark, which becomes much more prominent after he gains spider powers and his ex-tormentors start sucking up to him. He's disgusted with himself for feeling this way, even after Peter assures him that he went through the same thing as a teenager.
- Cards of Remnant: Although she's ashamed of it and buries it, Yang feels a degree of envy towards her sister Ruby; specifically, her status as a Signer and her Black Rose Dragon. Their late mother, Summer Rose, was also a Signer, and Yang spent years trying to forge a connection with her Stardust Dragon and become a Signer as well, to feel closer to her memory; she was never able to, but Ruby succeeded by accident, and didn't even realise the significance of what she'd done until it was explained to her. Yang, for all she loves her sister, has never quite been able to shake the lingering jealousy over that connection Ruby has with their mother's memory that she lacks.
- The Chaotic Masters: Adagio is furious at the thought that her husband the Collector is showing interest in Raven (never mind the fact that the two of them shared a harem back in the day before his sealing). According to him, she was always like this, and always had to assert herself as top wife.
- Children of an Elder God:
- Asuka at the beginning got agitated, angry and jealous when she saw her crush Kaji flirting with Misato. Later she got jealous over Shinji.
- Rei was usually calm, but she could get very jealous where Shinji was concerned. When she saw Asuka clinging to Shinji's arm in chapter 5, she actually growled. While she glared silently at Asuka, her clenched fists shook, her eyes seemed to glow for a second and her friends got very, very scared."For such a dweeb, that Ikari's got chicks all around him, huh?" asked Touji.
Kensuke nodded, still videotaping.
Suddenly, his camera died.
They heard a growl.
It wasn't just your ordinary growl, from a dog or a wolf. This was a deep growl, the sort of growl that suggested monstrous origins, dark and shadowy nights, and the promise of endless hours of pain. It was accompanied by a blast of cold running down their spines. The two turned around, slowly.
Rei was staring at Asuka, intensely, her face twisted in anger. Her fists were clenched, shaking slightly. It was hard to tell in the sunlight, but they thought they saw her blood red eyes glow brightly for a moment.
"Ohshit," whispered Touji. "She's mad."
- In the House/Once Upon a Time fanfic Definitely Not Lupus:

Even arguing that Gladion can just catch more 'mons after he goes home, while the Train may be his only chance to secure something special for himself.

- Tommy Merlyn towards best friend Oliver Queen, not just because Laurel Lance seems to prefer Oliver over him, but also because Malcolm, Tommy's father, seems to also be fonder of Oliver than him.
- It's more downplayed than in the cartoon, but Beetljuice is still this way toward his Morality Chain in the Contractually Obligated Chaos series. He's mellower about it since the Relationship Upgrade, because he trusts her, but it's still there in a subtle way. As the narrative in one sequel puts it:[He] could still be pretty possessive about the things he considered his. And nothing had ever been more his than Lydia.
- In Six Paths of Rebellion
, C.C. suggests during her "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Suzaku that the real reason he hates Zero so much is because unlike Suzaku, he gets results.

Given Suzaku's Big "SHUT UP!" afterwards, she hit the nail on the head.
- In Graduate Meeting of Mutual Killing, Ginchiyo was jealous of her sister for receiving the credit and fame for their work.

- Inverted in The Unfantastic Adventures of Bizarro No. 1, set in a Bizarro Universe. Being a backwards creature, Bizarro is delighted with the thought that his wife might have other suitors.
- Cullen is a minor example in All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird, mostly because of a case of Mistaken for Romance mixed with Twice Shy. Both of the men he thinks are his rivals find it hilarious.
- Alistair has a few moments of this throughout Shadow and Rose, during the period when he Cannot Spit It Out how he feels about the Warden. It mostly just makes him grumpy when Bann Teagan flirts with her, although when Zevran comes along and makes more direct offers, he's more than grumpy.
- Invoked in The Year of the Unicorn and the Emerald Princess, when Rory tells Jim about Michel de Chevin dropping in on her art class and dancing with the teacher. Once Rory tells him that Cullen, who was also visiting the class, had a strange look on his face, Jim immediately asks, "Was it a green-eyed monster sort of look?" (Looking back to the first installment of the series, when the same scene happened from Cullen's perspective and led him to believe that he was in Imaginary Love Triangle between Evvy and Michel all while feeling jealous of the latter, this trope is played straight.)
- What If Krillin Became a Saiyan?:
- Master Roshi assumes that Krillin made his wish to be "more like Goku" purely out of jealousy, slipping back into his former sneaky and underhanded ways due to his Inferiority Superiority Complex. He scolds him for this and makes his disappointment clear.
- Piccolo shows some shades of this after the battle with Raditz, feeling as though Goku overlooked the critical role he played. He also wants to prove he can catch up to him and Krillin without 'cheating' by making a wish on Shenron.
- Goku mostly averts this; unlike Master Roshi, he isn't bothered by the nature of Krillin's wish and is happy to have someone who can offer him a proper challenge. That said, some glimmers of this pop up over time, such as when he turns down Guru's offer to unlock his full potential, only to have a brief moment of regret after seeing how much stronger Krillin has become during his time on Namek.
- Ramona Flores in The Seer and His Butterfly was a potential suitor of Bruno's whom he rejected, and ever since she (and by extension the Flores family) had been considered a personal enemy to the Madrigals, trying to sow distrust of them in the encanto and doing what they can to inconvenience them.

As the second youngest child of a huge family, who dote on his younger sister, and surrounded by people better able to deal with the world around him, jealousy and Sloth become the central facets of his character. (Of course, depending on the author, this might be an excuse for him to Die for Our Ship.)

- Referenced by name in Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità. The green-eyed monsters within Germany and Japan grew to the point they began beating the crap out of each other. If Italy had not intervened in time, it would have gotten much worse.Logic died a horrible death in the face of those green-eyed monsters as they took over the two countries.

She later schemes to set her up with a replica of Chloé's favorite outfit. After learning that she's got a boyfriend back in the US, both Marinette and Alya scramble to prevent her "social suicide", and she admits that it was wrong for her to treat her so poorly.
- Juleka vs. the Forces of the Universe: Juleka succinctly describes Chat Noir as such when he responds to her debut as Purple Tigress by glaring at her. While he quickly decides that her being a heroine means she doesn't pose any real threat to his 'partnership' with Ladybug, he soon slips back into this when she proves to be a valuable addition to the team, envious of the attention she garners.
- The One to Make It Stay: Chat Noir is immediately jealous the moment Viperion enters the picture, purely because he's another male hero and he pegs him as a potential threat to his claim to Ladybug. Ironically, Viperion actually is dating Ladybug... but only in their secret identities. Chat Noir/Adrien is completely unaware of this, hating him purely on principle — leading him to hate all of the other temporary heroes by association.
- Telling Lies? No, Mama: After realizing the kind of person Lila really is, Alya rightly guesses that Marinette is not jealous of her, as she had originally assumed, but rather the other way around, as Marinette has the connections, the popularity, and the romance that Lila craves and lies to gain. Hence, Lila wants to destroy Marinette out of some twisted fury of her own insecurities.
- The Wolves in the Woods:
- Lila is a much more Downplayed version than usual here; while she envies the life she thinks Marinette has, she doesn't expect her claims that the other girl is bullying her to work so effectively, causing her to have a major Heel Realization and Villainous Breakdown after Marinette transfers out.
- Played straight by Alya Cesaire. It's eventually revealed that unlike the rest of their classmates (save for Marinette and Adrien), they knew from the get-go that Lila wasn't telling the truth, but seized upon the opportunity to turn the rest of the class against Marinette. Why? Because they were jealous of her recent successes as a fashion designer, and wanted to 'cut her back down to size' and break her spirit and self-esteem. Once this truth comes out, they play the pity card by claiming they didn't want their friend to abandon them, only for their own actions to drive her away instead.
- Adrien/Chat Noir gets incredibly jealous whenever other heroes come into play, as he sees them as a threat to his 'special partnership' with Ladybug. When the Iberian Heroes first reveal themselves to the pair, he immediately turns on Ladybug, assuming she called them in and literally twisting her arm while demanding answers.
- Cain begins with Katsuki overhearing All Might's talk with Izuku after being saved from the Sludge Villain. Enraged by the prospect of a 'Quirkless worthless Deku' getting mentored by the Top Hero, he promptly begins stalking Izuku, forcing his way into their training sessions through Blackmail and doing everything he can think of to sabotage and undercut his chances. While calling him out on this, Toshinori observes that Katsuki seems to care less about 'winning' and more about ensuring Izuku loses, denying his favorite punching bag anything that might make him happy.
- Juxtapose:
- Vlad King is furious when he learns that the two newest entries into the Hero Course, Izuku and Hitoshi, are both going to be in Aizawa's class instead of his. He's only mollified by the promise of additional interclass exercises.
- Downplayed in Mirio's case. Despite being one of U.A.'s "Big Three", he admits he's jealous of Izuku for winning the Sports Festival in his first year and making his weak Quirk strong, which Mirio needed three years and Sir Nighteye's tutelage to accomplish. Even still, he's fully supportive of Izuku and wants to see him succeed to the point of dropping formalities around him.
- In Passion on Display, one of the students has a belt-creating Quirk. He's incredibly jealous of Sero, whom he sees as having a very similar power, for managing to get into the Hero Course while he couldn't. This even drives him to attack Kirishima, hoping that he might be able to get into Class 1-A if there's a sudden vacancy due to an "accident".
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Contraptionology!: The Nightmare uses feelings of envy and jealousy to sink its hooks into ponies, growing stronger the more they resent others. This is also the ultimate source of the story's conflict, as it's eventually set off by Applejack's repressed feelings of envy and resentment over Twilight taking over her place as Ponyville's most admired resident.
- A Delicate Balance: Fluttershy isn't at all happy that Twilight's infatuation with Applejack means that they can't spend as much time together.

The verse's version of Magic Duel also implies that Checker was jealous that Trixie got into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.
- Trixie herself has jealousy as one of her main character flaws in this verse. In the original fic, she shows jealousy over Twilight's close relationship with Shining Armor compared to her relationship with her elder sister and in Perfect Companions she becomes jealous of the rest of the mane six having pets when she doesn't. She also shows jealousy of Twilight getting to perform in front of Celestia and the Saddle Arabian delegates. However, she has a lot better control over it than she used to before her Heel–Face Turn or her insane sister has and doesn't allow it to override her loyalty to her new friends.
- In Loved and Lost, Prince Jewelius is revealed to have hated his aunt Princess Celestia and cousin Princess Cadance for years because they're more well-known and popular than him, even though Cadance considers him her favorite cousin to the point of regarding him as her little brother.

He then uses the events of the Changeling invasion to usurp the alicorns and tarnish their reputations, trying afterwards to have them killed so that their memories will be overshadowed by his reign.
- In the Ponies of Olympus series, Ran Biao went from Rarity's friend to her rival due to being jealous of being Always Second Best.

He (Naruto) used to like me but I was so busy trying to get Sasuke and he made me miserable. Now I like him but Naruto is with Hinata and they're happy."
- Kakashi calls Sasuke out on this in Legacy Of The Rasengan: Naruto. Despite knowing how tough his teammate's life has been, Sasuke remains envious of the power he possesses as a jinchuuriki. Kakashi points out just how childishly he's acting — that he's basically throwing a tantrum because Naruto has something he doesn't. He also highlights that Sasuke knows that Naruto only uses the Kyuubi's chakra as a last resort, and that he's been training incredibly hard, becoming a Combat Pragmatist and using Obfuscating Stupidity to get the drop on people.
- Advice and Trust: Asuka is very possessive of Shinji. She constantly states that he is hers and she is not sharing him or giving him up for nothing. Coincidentally all her female classmates have crushes on him and have simultaneously decided trying to seduce him, and their attempts to flirt with and hit on him drive her murderously mad.
- The Child of Love:

- Jinnai was absolutely livid when he learnt that Asuka was enthusiastically having sex with Shinji in a daily basis after being a cold fish with him for two years. His jealousy was born from sheer wounded ego and possessiveness since Asuka was nothing but a not-quite-willing toy to him, and he never cared for her in the slightest.
- Doing It Right This Time: When Asuka suspects Rei can be in love with Shinji she starts to feel jealous… and then she stops herself, remembering her jealousy was used to turn her into a puppet and she is done with that.Asuka had only ever seen that smile once, directed at Shinji after Ritsuko -or Misato- finally got him back out of Unit-01. Now she wasn't continually seeing red and green both at once, she had to admit it was quite a nice smile. Rather cute, in fact.
Then Asuka had to fight down a sudden stab of fear, anger and jealousy. Was it possible that Rei's feelings for Shinji were...??
Arrrrgh. No, bad brain. No hedgehog impressions; that was where it all went wrong the first time round. Rei? Ayanami had deserved better than that, much less Rei Akagi. - Evangelion 303:
- For a while before Asuka and Shinji got together, the thought of other women getting near Shinji was enough to get her mad. A while later, when they were already engaged, Mari realized and flirted with Shinji exclusively because she loved messing with Asuka. Needless to say, Asuka was NOT amused.

- HERZ: Asuka is very jealous. When Shinji is out of her sight she often gets tense and angry, thinking some woman will try to steal him or maybe he will fool around. Despite the protestations of Kensuke, she is hardly paranoid, since there is a woman is always trying to steal him.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide:
- Asuka doesn't like when other girls get too close to Shinji. She resented Rei because she thought Shinji would rather being with her.
- The true Big Bad of the story, the mad A.I. known as the Emerald Tablet, develops feelings for Asuka (feelings which it cannot fully comprehend itself), and as a result it becomes murderously jealous of Asuka's relationship with Shinji. It cannot understand why she would she would choose to cling to a mortal life to be with a flawed human male, when it offers her to an immortal existence with a supreme being like itself. Also it dismisses Shinji's love for her as being tainted by an inevitable element of him biologically desiring her body, while it views it own desire for her as being more pure in nature, in that only desires her for her mind.
- Once More With Feeling (Crazy-88):
- When several girls were swooning at the thought of asking Shinji out, Rei of all people was feeling quite annoyed. Then she greeted him and he greeted back, beaming at her. Her classmates fumed but she felt very pleased with herself.

- Read the Fine Print: When they meet Bwynvienne, Shinji notices with amusement -and a repressed chuckle- that Asuka's stare is fixated on the demoness' lush flaming hair.Asuka turned her attention back to the woman. Or rather, as Shinji swiftly noticed, the woman's hair. He carefully prevented a chuckle escaping at what appeared to be jealousy.
- Asuka in The Second Try is pretty jealous. She strongly disliked Kaworu, partially because he lusted after Shinji. She didn't like Rei either, because Shinji had strong feelings towards her, but she stopped being jealous of Rei because she realized that the blue-haired girl wasn’t a threat.

To Quinn's credit, he eventually realizes that he's judged Pierce unfairly and is upset that he's let his personal feelings affect his judgement.

"But... yeah. There's a lot going on there. I kind of talked to her about it on Thursday, but she pushed me away. I'm not her favorite person, but she needs help."
