* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'':
** PlayedWith during "Syren"; Chat Noir takes Marigold to meet Master Fu, who scolds him for exposing his existence as the Guardian. Marigold is horrified and starts scolding him as well for betraying Fu's trust, but is touched when Chat explains that he only did so because [[PowerOfTrust he trusts her]], unlike Scarlet Lady. Master Fu, by contrast, simply {{Face Palm}}s; while he accepts her as another apprentice, he also punishes Adrien for his thoughtlessness.
** Despite how he had no earthly idea that akumas ''existed'' before getting attacked during his visit to Paris, Prince Ali forgives Rose for everything she did as Princess Fragrance, focusing instead upon [[CommonalityConnection how much they have in common]].
** {{Averted}} during "Despair Bear"; after Adrien [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls her out]] for all her bullying and breaks off their friendship, Chloé convinces herself that he'll forgive her if she throws a party and acts nice to all of their classmates. Adrien notes to Marinette that Chloé isn't actually ''[[TheUnapologetic apologizing]]'' to anyone, and when Chloé goes compliment fishing and asks if he's ready to forget all about their little fight and be friends again, responds with a BluntNo.

Piper is very forgiving of [[BigBad Cyclonis]], mainly due to [[spoiler:seeing into Cyclonis's mind and much later realizing that she's the victim of brainwashing]], though [[ThePowerOfLove their mutual feelings for each other]] certainly helps. Finn quickly decides to trust Cyclonis because [[DoYouTrustMe he completely trusts in Piper's judgement]], and while the rest of the Storm Hawks are initially angry at the reveal (especially [[BigBrotherInstinct Aerrow]]), they also turn around to the idea of her being an ally pretty quick. it's everyone else that remains skeptical and wary of the woman, and they only decide to give her a pass purely because [[spoiler:they hope her desire to end the war on peaceful terms is legitimate, not because they think she had an earnest change of heart]].

Saki Yoshida, while grocery shopping with her daughter Hana ran into her mother, who threw her out of the house when her father lied to her mother about Saki seducing him when he was molesting Saki and forcing her to sleep with him. To Saki's shock, her mother grabbed and hugged her while crying; shock, especially since the last time they talked, her mother threw her out; she asked her mother why she was talking to her. Saki's mother begged her to forgive her, revealing that her father told her everything; shocked, Saki asked why her father would tell her the truth; Saki's mother revealed that her father came home drunk and accidentally revealed that he forced himself on Saki. While Saki was not angry or resentful towards her mother, she was not interested in forgiving her either because of her actions, with the love and trust Saki had in her mother gone. When Saki's mother asks if they can talk and notices Saki's daughter and uneasily ask if her daughter's father is Saki's father, Saki coldly tells her mother that her father is not the father of her daughter and that she has to go. Saki's mother said please, if I had known the truth earlier, I would've never kicked you out, only for Saki to say while holding back tears, you left me when I needed you most, I always came to you when I was sad, and I trusted you. I'm glad you know the truth, but I can't not in front of my Hana; she then bought groceries and left with her daughter.

* Subverted in ''[[Fanfic/BlackbirdArrow Blackbird]]''. After Laurel is freed from her forced membership of the League of Assassins, it's clear she hasn't forgiven any of the people that have wronged her (specifically her parents and her sister) so much as that her training and self-hatred are preventing her from mustering up the energy to get angry at them. If she has forgiven anyone, it's Oliver, and even then that's because he's probably the only one who has genuinely earned it, since he may have cheated on her with her sister but he then came back and risked death to rescue her. The fact that he followed up the rescue with a genuine apology for his actions helped, even though it was probably unnecessary at that point since his actions spoke for themselves.

He's promptly kicked out of ANBU and demoted to chunin. It's a slap on the wrist, and everyone with half a brain ''knows'' it, but it gets the village leadership out of admitting that they ordered a thirteen year old boy to slaughter his entire family, so they all go along with it. The epilogue mentions that Itachi was even named Godaime Hokage.

* ''Fanfic/EnteringTheLoveHinaWorld'': {{Averted}} and explored several times:
** After her sister Tsuruko drills many hard truths into her, Motoko apologizes for all the times she unjustly assaulted Keitaro and Anthony. Both initially assume that she's been ''[[OrderedApology ordered]]'' to apologize. After learning that she's sincere, both men declare that her actions have been ForgivenButNotForgotten; they might forgive her, but that doesn't mean they ''trust'' her, or have forgotten how she easily she resorted to violence against them and others. Faye, meanwhile, simply [[RejectedApology rejects her apology outright]], finding her behavior to have been completely unforgivable.
** Su ''assumes'' everyone will forgive her after she apologizes, since she honestly wasn't aware that Naru's plans for the Inn would actually be bad for everyone. Nobody agrees with her.
* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'': In the final chapter, Naru expects this to apply to her once she decides that Keitaro should take her back. Throughout the entire fic, she has been ''furious'' over Keitaro breaking up with her, ''not'' because she actually loves him or wants anything to do with him, but because he hurt her ego by calling her out on her years of abuse and being a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]], SpoiledBrat. She only wants to get back together because she's systematically [[CrossingTheBurntBridge burned all her other bridges]], and is deeply shocked -- and deeply offended -- when Keitaro makes clear that they are never getting back together.

After Laurel is freed from her forced membership of the League of Assassins, it's clear she hasn't forgiven any of the people that have wronged her (specifically her parents and her sister) so much as that her training and self-hatred are preventing her from mustering up the energy to get angry at them. If she has forgiven anyone, it's Oliver, and even then that's because he's probably the only one who has genuinely earned it, since he may have cheated on her with her sister but he then came back and risked death to rescue her.

* To a point in ''Fanfic/LeftBehind''; Belima, the last of the Xarai, is left locked in a cell when she tries to attack Pilot because she’s hungry, but after a few days she is released again as the others are satisfied that she now understands what she did was wrong.

* Averted with Hiccup for the most of ''Fanfic/{{Persephone}}''. He still resents Berk and his father for the way he was treated before starting the dragon training and openly accuses Valka of abandoning him only because she cares more about the dragons than everything else
* In ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'', after Hiccup and Astrid are told how Wulfhild was coerced into making wedding vows to Hiccup after he married Astrid when they all assumed she was just Hiccup's concubine, Hiccup and Astrid forgive Wulfhild, although it's implied that it was a good thing Wulfhild was out of the room when they were told, as Astrid apparently nearly attacked Wulfhild's brother Magnus.

* Defied in ''Fanfic/CrimsonRising''; when the Power Rangers are confronted by secret organisation Sector Nine and ordered to either work for the agency or be considered criminals, the only Rangers to take the initial deal are the [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]] team (minus Mack), and even then Ronny and Rose swiftly defect to the other Rangers after their first outing with Sector Nine confirms that the organisation is too ruthless for their tastes. However, Will and Dax remain with Sector Nine for quite a few missions, including trying to shoot Crimson Ninja Storm Ranger Hunter Bradley and abducting his girlfriend Tori and the now-reformed Lord Zedd. Even after [[spoiler:Will and Dax save Tori’s sister Zoe and bring her to Blue Harbour, once the crisis has passed, although the other Rangers argue for leniency, Will and Dax are forbidden from becoming Rangers again, Dax returning to his film career and Will working for Bio-Labs security]].

* Basically defied in ''Fanfic/ErosTurannos'', which looks at a world where Anakin Skywalker was raised as Darth Vader since he was four and destroyed most of the Jedi. Even when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme are satisfied that Vader genuinely wants to be Anakin again, they both agree that it's better to keep Anakin's past secret as they work with the Rebels to attack Palpatine.

* ''Fanfic/TheOopsCycle'': Saaminga, the Demon Prince of Death, was a member of Lucifer's rebellion against God and spent the millennia since as the patron of undead and necromancy, causing a great deal of evil and suffering in the world. After his HeelFaceTurn, his sheer usefulness and thorough and quick undoing of his prior work make him almost universally welcomed by even the most skeptical archangels. The worst he gets is Eli and him butting heads over whether the best works are the ones completed or left unfinished.



* Played with in ''Fanfic/ItsNotTheRaptorDNA''; Owen, Claire, and a few others are willing to forgive Elise, but those who were more directly affected by her rampage treat her like a monster. The most prominently showcased are Debra, the petting zoo director who raised the ''Apatosaurus'' herd that Elise butchered, and Commander Blake, who was best friends with many of the ACU troopers Elise killed. It takes dozens of chapters (and a few apologies from both sides) before bridges begin to mend [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceDoorslam and Blake doesn't live long enough to be truly forgiving]]]].

* "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34941196/ The other side]]" begins with essentially the other half of the universe being killed in the Snap (''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''), with the result that Wanda triggers the Westview Hex (''Series/WandaVision'') a few days after the Snap rather than a few days after it was undone. As a result, characters observe that the Westview residents actually found it easier to be under Wanda's influence than they did in canon, as dealing with another person's grief let them get away from their own for a time whereas canon saw Wanda unwittingly force her own pain on others when they should have been enjoying the reunion.

** Speaking of which, Four is on the receiving end from Two, even after the former gives an tear-inducing rant towards the latter when she inadvertently [[spoiler: convinces Sougo to go and fight the Flower by himself.]]

It is made clear, though, that it wasn't easy for her, and Sulley does feel genuinely awful about it. Luna also isn't very quick to forgive him for that, but she mostly keeps it to herself.

** Lila assumes that Rose is a naive goody-two-shoes whom she can easily trick into forgiving her by shedding a few CrocodileTears. To her shock, Rose does ''not'' instantly forgive her.
** {{Downplayed}} with Adrien. When the rest of the class learns that he knew about Lila's true nature, but refused to warn them, they're furious, and leave it to Rose to decide how they handle it. Rose opts not to forgive him immediately, but encourages him to work for their forgiveness by showing that he's learned from this and changed.

* ''[[Fanfic/AwakeningStevenUniverse Awakening]]'':
** {{Downplayed}}; Spinel's extremely upset at Pink Diamond for abandoning her, attacking and poofing her on sight. After Pink reforms, they discuss why she left her behind, and Spinel is more or less willing to leave her be... though she isn't above using those events to make her squirm, with Pink noting that she's amazed Spinel is willing to share a room with her.
** Completely averted with Sapphire and Bismuth. Upon learning the full truth about the rebellion, they shut Pink/Rose out and make clear they want nothing to do with her.
** Also averted with Rose/Pink Diamond and the other Diamonds. Her 'relationship' with them largely consists of her gritting her teeth and ignoring their wishes, hiding her disgust by being a ConsummateLiar, or flat-out screaming at them when she can't take it any more. Overall, it's clear that their relationships with her are entirely one-sided, and the only reason she feigns any interest in reconciliation is for the sake of her own goals.

** After learning that [[TheUnmasking Marinette is Ladybug]], Alya expects to reap the rewards of being her 'BFF' despite having grown estranged from her thanks to Lila's manipulations. She declares that they can move past this 'blip' in their relationship ''before'' offering a token apology, and makes clear that she expects ''Marinette'' to be making more restitutions toward '''her''' for not revealing her SecretIdentity sooner.
** Adrien similarly expects Marinette to forgive him for not ''really'' [[BetrayalByInaction doing anything to help against Lila]], along with Chat Noir's failure to show up when Shadow Moth attacked her home. Much like Alya, he glosses over his absence with a token apology, [[SkewedPriorities caring more about]] forcing her into a RelationshipUpgrade -- despite knowing that she's dating Luka.
** Adrien also expects his parents to benefit from this, despite his father being exposed as Hawk Moth and his mother [[AdaptationalVillainy fully supporting his criminal endeavors]], including [[spoiler:breaking him out of jail]]. The same logic applies to Lila and Chloe -- despite them being arrested as suspected accomplices to Hawk Moth, he believes that [[StatusQuoIsGod everything will be worked out]] by the time their vacation from school ends.
** During the climax, [[spoiler:Adrien ''weaponizes'' this, leading Emilie to assume he's forgiven her for all her transgressions by rushing to her side and offering a hand up. When she accepts, he swipes the Black Cat Ring back from her]].
** PlayedWith after [[spoiler:Catastrophe's defeat. Plagg furiously calls Adrien out and makes clear that [[ThisIsUnforgivable he refuses to forgive him]] for handing him over to Emilie. Adrien accepts this, along with the other consequences of his actions. His willingness to admit his mistakes helps him part on better terms with Marinette, who 'pounds it' with him one last time]].
