* ''Fanfic/BecauseIKnewYou'' opens with Wanda Maximoff sensing the spell to erase all knowledge of Peter Parker (''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''), allowing her to use her powers to protect herself from what she believed was an explicit attack on her before she learned that it was actually a worldwide effect.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1071850/1/Evil-Jack-Domestic-Bliss Evil Jack: Domestic Bliss]]", Jack [=McCyber=] and Karbunkle have worked together to wipe Charley's memory of her life with the Biker Mice and even create a genetically-engineered daughter for her and Jack to reinforce the deception. Despite Jack's cover story of trauma-induced amnesia, Charley quickly feels too many anomalies in her life with Jack and retraces her steps to reunite with the Mice, even if she swiftly acts to protect Hannah despite finding evidence that she's never been pregnant.

* The ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7230027/1/Florida-Heat Florida Heat]]" opens with Kate Beckett being found in a hospital in a battered condition with amnesia. The first memory she regains is a memory of walking past a group of paparazzi who greet her as "Nikki Heat", and while the doctors obviously assume she's confusing herself with a fictional character, she subsequently recognises a photo of Castle and convinces them to call his publishers to get his number.
* In the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' series "[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/937977 A Splash of Blue]]", the key divergence from canon is that Loren is still a part of Tobias's life. While the Ellimist has erased all conscious memory of her life with Elfangor, she still expresses some vague recollection of those events that she expresses through her artwork; once the Animorphs know what to look for, they can see how some of her paintings that appear to be splashes of blue are actually a representation of an Andalite (although they don't initially realise it's Elfangor), and Cassie even notices how an image of a Taxxon shows a sense of sadness, suggesting that it represents Arbon in particular. When [[spoiler:the Animorphs rescue Ax from the dome, Loren immediately "recognises" him as 'Al' and talks about how she thought he couldn't look like that any more, even if nobody else knows that she is recalling Elfangor himself]].
* In the ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3077691/1/Orpheus Orpheus]]", John Sheppard and Elizabeth Weir accidentally activate a device intended to erase a person from the memories of all who knew them. The inventor's purpose in creating that device was to help people move on from the pain of a death by erasing all memory of the deceased, but Elizabeth is accidentally erased by the system while still alive, leaving her briefly trapped in another dimension. Fortunately John Sheppard retains his memory of her (suggested to be because his feelings for her are so strong they resisted the memory-wipe) and is able to reverse it.
* "[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/106184 The Modern Age]]" features the human and hobbit characters of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' being reincarnated into the present day. The main plot starts because Melkor, the first dark lord of Middle-Earth, returned to Earth in human form in the seventeenth century and erased Gandalf's memory when Gandalf refused to join him. In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/977316/1/The-Patient The Patient]]", when Gandalf (now called "Moses" out of a lack of anything else) and Melkor confront each other in the present, Melkor offers to let Gandalf join him, believing that his last three centuries of wandering the world will have led to him sharing Melkor's dark views on humanity's ability to rule itself, but "Moses" affirms that he would never serve Melkor, demonstrating Gandalf's fundamental faith in people despite what he has endured since he lost his memory.

* Discussed in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse fic "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37186546/ Tingle]]"; post-''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', after Peter starts dating Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova, when he first explains about the memory wipe, Kate asks if she had met him before the wipe considering how quickly they bonded, but Peter assures her that the first meeting she remembers was his first meeting with her as well.

* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5134927/1/I-Will-Remember-You-Pt-4-Fallen-Mature-Version I Will Remember You Part 4- Fallen]]", after Daniel's return to human form cost him all memory of his time Ascended, he eventually realises that he was able to 'protect' his own memories of his romantic liaison with Sam during his Ascension, regaining those memories after he and Sam have sex while he's human for the first time.

** In ''[[Anime/BleachFadeToBlack Fade to Black]]'', the antagonists possess a scythe that can erase the memories of anyone it cuts, as well as everyone's memory of that person. Ichigo is able to recover immediately due to his powers having been awakened by Rukia, and Kon is completely unaffected.
