[[folder:A to C]]
* In ''FanFic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'', BigBad Red Cyclone is responsible for starting the whole conflict and for the most part of the story, he only issues orders, such as the [[PlayingWithFire scorching of Equestria]]. He becomes trapped inside his own creation by Zeakros after Rainbow Dash and Firefly destroy the fortress' core generator, starting a self-destruct countdown. He is consumed by the expanding explosions as Fortress Intimidation is collapsing.
* In ''FanFic/AgesOfShadow'', [[TheDragon Zaben's]] first encounter with the heroes sees him [[EyeScream gouge out Mildred's eyes]] as petty revenge when he loses. Much later, during their final showdown, it's Mildred who guns him down and kills him for good.
* In the Mass Effect fic ''Fanfic/AnotherRealm'', the two antagonists of the ''Arrival'' arc are killed in suitably horrible ways after attempting to use their daughter as a political pawn, as well as trying to kill her lover, who happens to be TheHero.
* In ''Fanfic/AvengersEndgameDragonisPrime'', the Thanos of Earth-842667 seeks to wipe out half of all life across the universe with a Snap of the Infinity Gauntlet. [[spoiler: Tony Stark turns his own Stones against him with the use of Dwarven magic]].
* ''FanFic/BadFutureCrusaders'': [[MookLieutenant Twitch]], who gleefully took part in the bombing of Broncton -- caring nothing for the civilians caught in the crossfire -- is killed when a shot from Apple Bloom's gun detonates one of his bombs while it's still on his belt.
* ''Fanfic/BloodRustyAU'': As [[ChildrenAreCruel kits]], Scourge's siblings, Socks and Ruby, would [[BigBrotherBully bully him]]. They told him that Humans throw kits they don't want into rivers, so Scourge (then called "Tiny") was [[APetIntoTheWild scared off into the wild]]. When they got older, Socks and Ruby were [[LaserGuidedKarma abandoned and forced to live as malnourished street cats]]. One day, Scourge gets sick of his siblings always begging for help and decides to [[SiblingMurder get rid of them]]. He takes Socks and Ruby to the sewers and makes them jump into the sewer river.
* ''Webcomic/TheBikiniBottomHorror'': For cutting off Patrick's limb and using the subsequent clone as meat for Krabby Patties, Mr. Krabs gets his limbs torn off and is is subjected to a slow death that he knows he can't prevent via being force-fed a raw patty that grows into a Patrick inside him before bursting out.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4942221/23/Broken-Wings Broken Wings]]'' Umbridge, who has a phobia of winged creatures, escapes Hogwarts before she can be arrested for using a magic-binding cuff on Harry, and is killed and eaten by a Stymphalian Bird.

[[folder:D to G]]
* ''Fanfic/DekuIThinkHesSomePro'': All For One's grooming of Shigaraki to become a Villain (including giving him [[MakeThemRot Decay]] when he was initially Quirkless) ultimately ends up causing his downfall - after Izuku reveals this to the League of Villains, they promptly turn on and kill him, with Shigaraki [[HoistByHisOwnPetard disintegrating his life support using the Quirk he had been given.]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''[=/=]''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' Crossover ''FanFic/TheDresdenFillies'', this happens a few times in the second story, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7893489/1/The_Dresden_Fillies_False_Masks False Masks]]'':

* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'': [[CreepyMortician Dirt Nap]] ends up being burned to death by the power of the very demon he [[DealWithTheDevil sold his soul to]].
* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7230538/chapters/16413640 Fall of the Black Canary, return of the Arrow]]'' [[{{Exaggerated|Trope}} exaggerates]] the Karmic death of Damian Darhk (see ''Series/{{Arrow}}''):
-->'''Oliver:''' You didn’t think I’d let you die that easily, did you. No, that’s much more than you deserve. You killed the woman I loved, remember? Allow me to remind you, ''(pulls an arrow out of his quiver)'', first, you stabbed her with an arrow, just like this. ''(stabs him)'' Then, you twisted it, like so, ''(twists arrow)'', and then you yanked it out of her body. ''(yanks arrow out)'' Now you know how it feels.

* In the third ''FanFic/Gensokyo20XX'' story, presumably we have this with Seija, after she's attempted to get Yukari to murder the children because she saw them as a hindrance when food and fresh water had run scarce (because of her), as it's unlikely she survived on her own after having three of her limbs and a few fingers cut off and then being sent away, then again, she had it coming.
* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'' does this with the TokenEvilTeammate pair of the Rebellion -- [[BloodKnight Rhouglar]] is executed by Caleb right after bragging about how the Rebellion's actions have been the perfect means for him to indulge in his [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil desires]], and that Caleb's naiveté has just been enabling him. [[KnightTemplar Tharquin]], meanwhile, ends up brutally murdered by [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes Jade]]]], whom he'd been torturing simply for [[FantasticRacism being a Shapeshifter]].

[[folder:H to J]]
* In ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8793565/chapters/20159878 How the Light Gets In]]'', Dean tells the recently resurrected Laurel that she died after Damian Darhk stabbed her in the lung. After learning Dean killed him in revenge, she asks how.
-->'''Dean''': I stabbed him in the lung.\\
'''Laurel''': That's poetic.\\
'''Dean''': I thought so.
* ''Fanfic/InaccurateLegends'': Sir Not Appearing In This Film framed Arturia and her knights for murder and got them all sent to prison. In the final battle, Sir Bedivere ends up killing him with a prison shiv. Bedivere comments on how appropriate it is, since if the villain did not get him sent to prison, he would not have gotten that shiv.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': Simon Laurent transforms into Destruction, a large black dragon, as part of becoming a ritual component for the Cage of Flauros. He boasts that makes him the true Apex and that Sean -- the kid who drowned in the Fog Car -- was "Weak" for not being strong enough to survive the Train (As it's established that if you die on the train, your soul is reincarnated into a denizen). After he kills Chloe and Tuba (Chloe reviving thanks to Atticus), he ends up drowning in Toluca Lake by the Phantom, who is the reincarnation of Sean, the same Apex kid he mocked. Moreover, Simon never wants to change and so he will spend the next few ''centuries'' as what he hates most, while his body was unceremoniously dropped off where he was first picked up years ago; at an elementary school bathroom.

* In the third ''FanFic/Gensokyo20XX'' story, presumably we have this with Seija, after she's attempted to get Yukari to murder the children because she saw them as a hinderance when food and fresh water had run scarce (because of her), as it's unlikely she survived on her own after having three of her limbs and a few fingers cut off and then being sent away, then again, she had it coming.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25204132 Canary's Wrath]]'', Laurel becomes the [[ComicBook/TheSpectre The Spectre]], who as noted on the [[KarmicDeath/ComicBooks Comic Books page]], is fond of this in general and seeks out the men most directly responsible for death.

* ''FanFic/InvaderZimTheSeries'': Reg, an Irken BloodKnight with [[PlayingWithFire elemental fire powers]] and a [[{{Pyromaniac}} personality to match]], ends up burning to death in the wreck of his ship when it's destroyed. For bonus points, the ones doing the destroying are the Tallest, who Reg's been shown to be covertly plotting against with the story's LegionOfDoom.

* In ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', Prince Jewelius convinces Queen Chrysalis to invade Equestria with him on Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding day, only to double-cross her so that he can rule Equestria alone. After the vengeful Changelings have escaped from his dungeons, he [[SkewedPriorities refuses to spare a thought for them]] as he tries to finish off the heroes whom Chrysalis [[EnemyMine secretly helps to gain an advantage over him]]. When the good guys have cornered Jewelius in the climax, the Changelings come to take their revenge [[DevouredByTheHorde by eating]] the pathetically begging Jewelius whose heart doesn't have any love for them to feed on. The scene has distinct similarities with the death of [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]] (see the "Animation" category under {{KarmicDeath/Film}}).

* ''Fanfic/MastermindStrategistForHire'': Immediately after being held at gunpoint by the Blue Dogs gang to get out of plans to rob Okane Bank, Izuku sells plans to murder each member to their enemies, leading to all of them being murdered. In particular, Tanaka, the leader, is [[CruelAndUnusualDeath starved and tortured to death]], with his body left in front of the Channel 9 News station.

* In the GameMod for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', ''VideoGame/{{Falskaar}}'', BigBad Yngvarr spends the entire game looking for [[MacGuffin the Heart of the Gods]], a divine artifact that will supposedly make him immportal, and to that end he slaughters an entire city and several other bystanders. It's only fitting the very deity he tries to rob ends up objecting, making for a quite literal DeusExMachina, and utterly [[CurbStompBattle obliterates him]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''[=/=]''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' Crossover ''FanFic/TheDresdenFillies'', this happens a few times in the second story, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7893489/1/The_Dresden_Fillies_False_Masks False Masks'':

* Similarly, in ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8793565/chapters/20159878 How the Light Gets In]]'', Dean tells the recently resurrected Laurel that she died after Damian Darhk stabbed her in the lung. After learning Dean killed him in revenge, she asks how.

* ''FanFic/BadFutureCrusaders'': [[MookLieutenant Twitch]], who gleefully took part in the bombing of Broncton -- caring nothing for the civilians caught in the crossfire -- is killed when a shot from Apple Bloom's gun detonates one his bombs while it's still on his belt.

* In ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', Prince Jewelius convinces Queen Chrysalis to invade Equestria as per the second season finale and double-crosses her to rule Equestria alone. When he's eventually defeated by the good guys, he pathetically begs for help from Chrysalis. Instead, she takes her revenge by having her Changelings [[EatenAlive eat Jewelius]] who doesn't have any love for them to feed on. The scene has distinct similarities with the death of [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]] (see the "Animation" category under {{KarmicDeath/Film}}).

* ''Fanfic/TheParselmouthOfGryffindor'' had a karmic near-death for ''[[TheHero Hermione]]''. Being her usual confident RulesLawyer self, she went after the Horcrux a bit too quickly, convinced that her ten-seconds rules-lawyering would be enough to bypass the protections. [[GoneHorriblyWrong It wasn't]], and it's sheer luck that she comes BackFromTheDead afterwards.
* In ''FanFic/TimeLordsAndTerror'', [[WickedWitch Hydia]] spends the entire story trying to release [[EldritchAbomination the S'muz]] because she believes she can use it to destroy her enemies. Naturally, she's the first one it renders DeaderThanDead upon its release.
* In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13189099/1/The-Legend-Of-Zelda-Ocarina-Of-Time The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time]], Gohma crashes Link's party and splits a tree clean in half with her eye laser. When Link fights her again later on, he kills her by [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cleanly cutting her in half vertically with a sword beam.]]
* ''FanFic/InvaderZimTheSeries'': Reg, an Irken BloodKnight with [[PlayingWithFire elemental fire powers]] and a [[{{Pyromaniac}} personality to match]], ends up burning to death in the wreck of his ship when it's destroyed. For bonus points, the ones doing the destroying are the Tallest, who Reg's been shown to be covertly plotting against with the story's LegionOfDoom.
* In ''FanFic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'', BigBad Red Cyclone is responsible for starting the whole conflict and for the most part of the story, he only issues orders, such as the [[PlayingWithFire scorching of Equestria]]. He becomes trapped inside his own creation by Zeakros after Rainbow Dash and Firefly destroy the fortress' core generator, starting a self-destruct countdown. He is consumed by the expanding explosions as Fortress Intimidation is collapsing.
* [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark Peter Ludlow]], the ''real'' BigBad of ''FanFic/RiseOfTheGaleforces'' gets an ''EPIC'' one near the very end. He sets it up by apparently spending most of Episode 3 trying to capture the T-rex family that initially antagonizes the heroes as part of a tourist attraction (actually an excuse to publicly kill them along with all other non-human species). When he later drops all pretenses, he defends himself from the angry father rex by shooting him in the eye. This enrages both the fellow 'rex he was defending - actually a ScaledUp [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Violet]] - and Chomper's own babies to boot. The result: Ludlow gets every bone in his body broken for his trouble, and is devoured by the very baby 'rexes he had been working so hard to acquire.
* ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'':
** The blackbirds that have tortured [[BadFuture Dark World]]!Derpy for a thousand years by trying to eat Dinky (who has been [[AndIMustScream turned into a muffin]]), are ultimately thrown into [[EldritchAbomination Ponythulhu's]] dimension to be eaten themselves, also by being turned into a baked good.
** When [[TrueFinalBoss Nightmare Eclipse/Paradox]] is finally defeated by the Elements of Harmony, she's forced to experience a fate quite similar to what she forced on Twilight [[GroundhogDayLoop who knows how many times]] -- watching her [[CoDragons friends]] be torn away from her and ending up being forcibly [[FusionDance fused]] with Twilight.
** [[HumanoidAbomination Makarov]], the BigBad of the Shining Armor Arc, has spent his entire existence [[TheAssimilator absorbing others']] in order to bring himself closer to godhood, {{Retgon|e}}ing them in the process. Ultimately, he's absorbed by [[ClockRoaches the Blank Wolf]], erasing ''him'' from existence.
* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'': [[CreepyMortician Dirt Nap]] ends up being burned to death by the power of the very demon he [[DealWithTheDevil sold his soul to]].

* Gregor Clegane meets his end in the ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''/''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' crossover ''FanFic/ASparkOfIceAndFire'' when Agatha turns his own armor into a clank and has it to beat him to a pulp.
* In the My Little Pony / Literature/TheDresdenFiles Crossover ''FanFic/TheDresdenFillies'' False Masks:
** After spending the whole story trying to assassinate Harry Dresden (believing him to be a resurrected EvilOverlord) , putting innocents in danger, summoning '''He Who Walks Behind''' ('''TWICE''') , [[HeWhoFightsMonsters and in the process of all these things betraying the kingdom and the ponies they swore to protect]], the Order Triune itself is betrayed by Novel Notion and sacrificed to a demon rather quickly. Unlike most examples, however, it still proves to be quite [[AlasPoorVillain tragic]].

* ''[[Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil The Stronger Evil]]'': After [[EvilSorcerer Daolon Wong]] resurrects [[DragonsAreDemonic Shendu]] and is [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder double-crossed]] by him, the dark wizard tries to have his revenge by shooting [[VillainousCrush the demon's beloved]] Valerie Payne. [[BerserkButton Beyond furious]], Shendu pummels Wong to death.
* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7230538/chapters/16413640 Fall of the Black Canary, return of the Arrow]]'' [[{{Exaggerated|Trope}} exaggerates]] the Karmic death of Damian Darhk (see ''Series/{{Arrow}}''):

* In ''FanFic/AgesOfShadow'', [[TheDragon Zaben's]] first encounter with the heroes sees him [[EyeScream gouge out Mildred's eyes]] as petty revenge when he loses. Much later, during their final showdown, it's Mildred who guns him down and kills him for good.
* ''[[Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters Guardians, Wizards and Kung-Fu Fighters]]'' does this with both of the Rebellion's {{Token Evil Teammate}}s -- [[BloodKnight Rhouglar]] is executed by Caleb right after bragging about how the Rebellion's actions have been the perfect means for him to indulge in his [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil desires]], and that Caleb's naiveté has just been enabling him. [[KnightTemplar Tharquin]], meanwhile, ends up brutally murdered by [[spoiler: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Jade]]]], whom he'd been torturing simply for [[FantasticRacism being a Shapeshifter]].

* ''Fanfic/BloodRustyAU'': As [[ChildrenAreCruel kits]], Scourge's siblings Socks and Ruby would [[BigBrotherBully bully him]]. They told him that Humans throw kits they don't want into rivers, so Scourge (then called "Tiny") was [[APetIntoTheWild scared off into the wild]]. When they got older, Socks and Ruby were [[LaserGuidedKarma abandoned and forced to live as malnourished street cats]]. One day, Scourge gets sick of his siblings always begging for help and decides to [[SiblingMurder get rid of them]]. He takes Socks and Ruby to the sewers and makes them jump into the sewer river.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4942221/23/Broken-Wings Broken Wings]]'' Umbridge, who has a phobia of winged creatures, escapes Hogwarts before she can be arrested for using a magic-binding cuff on Harry and is killed and eaten by a Stymphalian Bird.
