** Eugenides first encounters the old gods of the peninsula in ''The Thief'' and is deeply unsettled when a careless "gods, don't let the horses make a noise" results in them being silent ''to the hoofbeats''. His hope that they ignore him from then on is unfulfilled. Eugenides, God of Thieves marks him later in the book. In the second, he goes to a temple during his extended HeroicBSOD... and they tell him to QuitYourWhining. In the third, his patron catches him from a deadly fall and scolds him for being up so late. Despite his grousing, it's implied that Eugenides' fragile state of health is due partly to the strain that divine encounters put on a mortal body.

* ''Film/BernardAndTheGenie'': Before he got trapped in the bottle, Josephus was a friend of Jesus who witnessed three of his miracles and the cleansing of the temple. Although he didn't realise that He was the Son of God. He's impressed to learn that Christmas is a festival which (deep down) celebrates his friend's birth, and is upset to learn that He was crucified. Towards the end, when Bernard about to send Josephus back to his own time, Bernard tells him to tell Jesus to watch out for Judas.

* Both members of Chrimson Phantomas from ''WebOriginal/WithinLapenko'' died, got into Heaven and made friends with God. Later the three of them even recorded a song together.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', after the [[http://egscomics.com/comic/question-mark-06 events]] of Question Mark, Sarah is on [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2017-06-19 friendly terms]] with Pandora... although she didn't really [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2017-06-21 realize]] who she was actually dealing with until later.

** Twoflower teaches the [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Four Horsemen]] ''bridge.'' And they'll probably be playing it until [[IncrediblyLamePun the last trump!]]

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' often has [[PhysicalGod Legendary Pokemon]] palling around with human children. And in the games, [[OlympusMons you can capture them and order them around]].
** Pyramid King Brandon captured not one, but ''three'' Legendary Pokemon. Tobias has at least two. Noland is a close friend of an Articuno, although it's not actually on his team.
** Ash Ketchum has never captured a Legendary Pokémon, but he's befriended most of them, [[spoiler:even Arceus]]. Some would say that he is more recognized by divine forces that watch over Pokémon than humans.
** In the [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Sun and Moon anime]], Ash makes such a good impression on Tapu Koko without realizing it that it gives him a Z-Ring on the first night. The next day, it teaches him how to use [[LimitBreak Gigavolt Havoc]]. [[spoiler: He ''also'' has a mythic Pokémon on is team since the ''sun & moon'' arc.]]
** Mallow becomes the temporary guardian of the Mythical Shaymin after coming to terms with her mother's death.
** Goh earns the respect of a rightfully suspicious [[spoiler:Suicune]] (who had been targeted by hunters and later captured by him to make sure they didn't get it first) by making sure it and its forest friends were healthy before giving it a chance to go back into the wild. It takes that chance, but not before letting him know it's there if he needs its aid.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. [[spoiler:The discovery that [[IAmWho King is actually the last of the Titans]] retroactivelly applies this to all of his relationships, but esepcially the sibling like bond that he shares with [[CoolBigSis Luz]]. This even turns into a vital plot point in the GrandFinale when the spirit of his father reveals that the reason why he so easily showed Luz the secret behind the glyphs (and why he grants her the power to defeat Belos once and for all) is because he was expressing his thanks for all the kindness that she had shown his son.]]

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. Kyon and [[spoiler:Haruhi]]. Hell, make that ''everyone'' and [[spoiler:Haruhi]].

* In ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'', the OnlyFriend Ophis considers is Issei, the protagonist.
* ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'': Under the "surprisingly personable EldritchAbomination", we have Mahiro, who has attracted the affection of a certain Lovecraftian horror, namely Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. Fortunately for Mahiro's sanity, Nyarlathotep has taken on the form of a human girl.

** In most continuities Hippolyta is friends with Aphrodite and on occasion calls on her for help with things. In Diana's [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 original]] [[ComicBook/AllStarComicsNumber8 origin]] the [[HasTwoMommies two of them together]] made Diana with Aphrodite acting as Di's secondary parentlal figure though she called Hippolyta mom.
