* ''The End'', a 1978 comedy about a terminally ill man named Sonny (Creator/BurtReynolds) who intends to take his own life rather than die of the rare toxic blood disease he has been diagnosed with. After a number of (comically?) failed attempts, and encounters with people -- an inexperienced priest, his self-absorbed parents, his estranged daughter and ex-wife, and his girlfriend -- who don't seem to care (at least in his view), Sonny drives to a secluded beach and swims out to the middle of the ocean, planning to drown himself. While underwater, his life flashes before his eyes and he finally realizes his purpose in life. He suddenly resurfaces and swims to shore, bargaining with God that, if he makes it to shore, he'll be a better man. Indeed, Sonny does make it to shore ... but only to discover that his "friend" Marlon (Creator/DomDeLuise), a psychopath who had helped him with his previous attempts to take his life, is waiting for him and intends to follow through with his promise to help him die. Sonny tries to reason with Marlon that he wants to live ... and seems to have succeeded when, as the two are walking to the road to go home, Marlon pulls out a large butcher knife. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" screams Sonny as he flees (the knife-wielding Marlon in pursuit) down the beach under the final credits ("Another Fine Mess" by Music/PaulWilliams).

* ''Fanfic/FragmentsOfChaldea'' gives us Dr Roman [[spoiler:a.k.a. Solomon]] walking up to CessationOfExistence, internally crying he doesn't want to do this all the while. Gudao begging him to stay alive doesn't help either.
-->'''Gudao:''' Doctor...! No! N-Not you too...! Stay...! S-s-stay and see for your-s-self!\\
'''Roman:''' [[TearJerker ...I want to. I really do...]]

[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
* ''Fanfic/KaleidoscopicGrangers'': After learning that [[spoiler:she's a Horcrux]], Ariadne becomes deeply depressed. She doesn't ''want'' to sacrifice herself, but sees no way around it, and miserably mourns the future she'll never get to see.

* ''Fanfic/AndrogyninjasADropOfPoison'': As a civilian-born shinobi, Sakura fears that she's considered to be more expendable than her teammates. Sasuke repeatedly sneering that she's nothing more than CannonFodder - and Kakashi's silence on the matter/refusal to correct or berate him - hardly helps. Despite her fears, whenever push comes to shove, she forces herself to stand her ground, partly because she sincerely cares about the rest of Team Seven... but also because she suspects that if anything happened to her teammates, she'd be blamed for it.
