[[LastSecondChance Last-Second Chances]] in FanWorks.

[[AC:''{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''FanFic/FriendshipIsAura'': Lucario offers [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss Chrysalis]]]] a chance to leave in peace if she tells him where [[spoiler:the kidnapped Celestia]] is. She responds by [[DevourTheDragon absorbing her followers]] and trying one last time to kill him. [[spoiler:This gets her killed.]]
* ''Fanfic/TheLastSon'': In Book Three, Superman tries to give [[spoiler:General Zod a chance to turn himself in and go through rehab after he loses control of Fort Rozz and Battlestation Sentrius. [[VillainousBreakdown Zod instead loses it]] and goes on a rampage, forcing all of Earth's heroes to lead him into a trap do [[BroughtDownToNormal depower him]]. At this point, Superman has had enough and is not giving him any more chances]].
* ''[[FanFic/JusticeLeagueOfEquestria Mare of Steel]]'': During the FinalBattle of the first arc, Rainbow Dash offers [[DiscOneFinalBoss Zod]] a chance to surrender and become TheAtoner, but he refuses, opting instead to attempt TakingYouWithMe.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''/''Franchise/MassEffect'' FusionFic, ''FanFic/MassEffectTheEquestrianEquation'', it is instinct to do this to any potential opponent for both the Equestrians and their ancient ancestors, the Equines. However, having evolved from prey animals, they are a ''lot'' shorter-tempered with outsiders trying to pick on the small, harmless-looking critters than they are with each other. At one point, Twilight gives a broadcast explaining that while Equestrians have an elaborate conflict solving/defusing social ritual, it only applies to their own kind; other species get given one chance to back down and then are ''immediately'' attacked with everything the Equestrian has to offer.
* {{Inverted}} in ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls''. During the climax of Chapter 6, remastered version, Vault offers Kyril one last chance to [[WeCanRuleTogether join]] his Sex Empire, starting by handing over Olga and Chloe. [[spoiler:He responds by [[MacrossMissileMassacre blowing him up to smithereens]].]]
[[AC:''Franchise/TheDCU'']]
* In ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'', Kara vows to help Satan Girl look for her child if she stops fighting her. Her evil duplicate replies she can find her offspring on her own.
-->'''Supergirl:''' You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight.
* In ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'', Superman offers Parasite to help him be normal again if he turns on Luthor and reforms.
--><I can't even get close to a woman without her running away now, Supes. They don't dig the tall, strong, and purple type. If I bought and paid for one, I might suck the life out of her while we were together. You understand?>\\
<Perhaps, Max. And perhaps you'd be better if we could find a cure for your condition.>\\
<Yeah, well, I'll settle for getting back my old bod, if and when. If and when.>\\
<So why did you throw in with Luthor?>\\
<Because he offered me a good deal. Said he'd get rid of you forever, and kick in a lotta dough at the same time. My two primary motivations.>\\
<If we got you your body back, Max, and if we removed your Parasite powers, would you reform? Would you even consider it?>\\
More hesitation. Then, <I don't know.>
[[AC:''Manga/DeathNote'']]
* In ''FanFic/ACureForLove'' [[WeCanRuleTogether Light/Kira asks L if he's changed his mind and is going to join him]]. L in turn pleads that he stop being Kira and they could run away to an island somewhere. Light explains that he can't stop being Kira because he's made a DealWithTheDevil and in any case, he doesn't want to because being Kira is [[TheUnchosenOne "his calling"]] and [[DespairEventHorizon besides, there's nothing left to go back to]].
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''Fanfic/LeaveForMendeleiev'': Marinette considers whether or not to extend one of these to Chat Noir after learning that Master Fu has been mulling over whether or not to strip him of the Black Cat Ring. Throughout their partnership, Chat Noir's refusal to take things seriously and [[SkewedPriorities focus more on flirting and joking around]] has made him into TheLoad; however, she wonders if he'd take a warning that he ''needs'' to shape up seriously... or not. Ultimately, she decides [[spoiler:against it, and Adrien's decision to try blackmailing Plagg during Syren's attack blows up in his face]].
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* In the ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' between canon!Celestia and Tyrantlestia, at the end of ''FanFic/TheConversionBureauWorldsWhereItWouldntWork'', Celestia being the AllLovingHero she is, offers Tyrantlestia a chance to walk away. [[spoiler:Being the self-righteous egomaniac she is, Tyrantlestia verbally spits the offer in her face and proclaims that it is her ''destiny'' to win, leaving Celestia with no choice but to inform her the destiny ''can change'' and finishing her off for good.]]
* At the end of the [[FanFic/RainboomsAndRoyalty Dashverse]] story ''May the Best Friends Win'', Rainbow Dash tells Trixie she can either leave town, thus ending their friendship, or stay and try to make amends for her actions, giving them a chance to rebuild. [[spoiler:She chooses the latter.]]
* ''FanFic/TheImmortalGame'': [[spoiler:After stripping [[BigBad Titan]] of [[BroughtDownToNormal all his power]], Twilight offers him a chance to live the rest of his life as a normal pony, and maybe atone for what he's done. He opts instead for a [[SuicideByCop final, suicidal charge]].]]
* ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'': In the penultimate chapter of ''Boast Busted'', after Twilight has been caught summoning the Ursa Minor that trashed Ponyville, Trixie offers her a chance to surrender herself and come quietly. Unfortunately, Trixie's apology for baiting Twilight earlier in the fic convinces Twilight that she's completely blameless, and Twilight runs instead of facing her crimes.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3665921/53/Black-Flames-Dance-In-The-Wind-Rise-of-Naruto Black Flames Dance in the Wind: Rise of Naruto]]'', after [[AdaptationalJerkass Kurenai]] abandons her team, Naruto threatens to kill her if she ever approaches them again, having spent hours comforting a devastated Hinata. Kurenai attempts to circumvent it by going to their new teacher, but Naruto catches wind of it and it's only Asuma's begging and offer to take responsibility for Kurenai that spares her. Naruto informs both (Asuma directly and Kurenai via ImpliedDeathThreat) that it's Kurenai's last chance[[note]]Or as Naruto and Kyuubi think of it, Kurenai's out of chances and they're now using Asuma's only chance[[/note]] and next time he'll kill them both.
