* ''Fanfic/UnseenPerspective'' has Fenrir Greyback be Voldemort's ChildhoodFriend from their time as fellow students at Hogwarts. This friendship continues on to adulthood where the two often refer to each other by {{Affectionate Nickname}}s in private and Voldemort has even tamed Greyback's feral werewolf form into being a personal AttackAnimal. This could not be further from the truth in canon, where Greyback was a somewhat-tolerated ally of Voldemort at best and there was nothing to indicate the two had any sort of past relationship prior to Greyback's werewolf pack aligning with the Death Eaters, let alone a thriving VillainousFriendship.

** In canon, it isn't established how close the Agents Parker and Logan were. In this fic, Logan was one of the Parkers' friends, enough so that they invited him over for Christmas once or twice and introduced him to baby Petra. He tells Petra as much when he meets her, and [[TellMeAboutMyFather tells her stories about her parents when she asks]].

** When the Hamato family visits [[spoiler:X-Manor, they each strike up a friendship with a member of the X-Men: Leo and Cyborg, Raph and Gambit, Donnie and Doctors Gray and McCoy, Mikey with Iceman, Petra with Logan (see above), and Splinter with Professor X. It's noted that the Professor hoped that the Turtles and Petra would make friends with his students, as he knows how important it is for young mutants to meet others like them (he knows that the Hamatos weren't mutated by the X-factor gene, but in his eyes it's close enough).]]

->''"In ''Fire & Blood'', Alicent and Rhaenyra's relationship sours on the basis of politics. They're both vying for the Iron Throne and, therefore, become enemies -- simple. There's likely more to the story, beyond the purview of the in-book narrators who can only observe so much. But at its core, the fissure is straightforward: It's about power. In ''House of the Dragon'', showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal elaborate on that source material by imagining what the pair's intimate relationship was like, inserting an array of personal clashes into the story."''

''WebVideo/MasakoXDragonBallWhatIf'': Due to the premise of [[WhatIf changing the course of the story with a single event]], new friendships strike between characters that rarely interacted in the series.
