* ''DoctorWho''. Hilariously spoofed in "The Lodger" when the Doctor gives a human a massive InfoDump by headbutting him. There'd been previous examples of Time Lord telepathy in "Girl in the Fireplace," "The Three Doctors," and "The Last of the Time Lords" - in the latter it was Time Lord to Time Lord, though.

* In TamoraPierce's "Circle" series, the four main characters, Daja, Tris, Sandry and Briar all have a pyschic link formed when one of them weaves their magic together. They can communicate telepathically, they can borrow each other's strength, and their magic becomes much stronger when used together.
* Daemons in the HisDarkMaterials series have a pyshic link with their person. Justified as they're really just physical manifestations of the soul.

** The Doctor has a permanent psychic link set up with the TARDIS, though its not the transfer of words, but rather emotions and feelings. Companions can tap into the link, too. In "The Doctor's Wife" its used by Amy to open locked doors in the TARDIS, and its how they can [[TranslatorMicrobes understand aliens]], no matter where or when they are.

* ''{{InuYasha}}'': It's hinted at in a few places throughout the manga but only directly commented on once. There's some kind of [[PsychicLink psychic link]] between [[NobleDemon Sesshoumaru]] and [[TheIgor Jaken]] that's acknowledged, but never explained. It doesn't matter where Sesshoumaru goes, Jaken can always find him again with unerring accuracy. When [[TheStoic Sesshoumaru]] experiences something [[NotSoStoic he doesn't want to convey]], Jaken immediately conveys it on his behalf (sneezing, which was [[SneezeCut exploited for comedy]], and [[HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim crying]], which was [[TearJerker not so comedic]]). In the end, it's [[ChivalrousPervert Miroku]] who puts a voice to the hints that have cropped up throughout the manga after a moment of [[CrowningMomentOfFunny pure comedy]] in the middle of a fight reveals the fact to everyone:

* The supersoldiers of ''{{Gundam 00}}'' ([[spoiler:Allelujah and Marie]] in particular) are able to utilize quantum brainwaves in a way that allows a form of telepathy; moreover, they can sense eachothers' presence from miles away. The Innovators take this many steps further; not only can they all communicate psychically, but (according to Regene Regetta) they also use their quantum brainwaves in conjunction with GN particles to create direct links to Veda, and ''see through eachothers' eyes.'' They may also have the ability to locate eachother and warp the minds of the unsuspecting, as can be seen when Regene [[spoiler:scouts out his genetic twin, Tieria Erde, and proceeds to mindrape him so hard that he begins to hallucinate]].

** It's a little unclear whether the ELS have this or a HiveMind in TheMovie. It is stated that they maintain contact with each other via quantum brainwaves, in much the same way advanced humans can. Handily, this allows Innovators to contact them... not so handily, [[spoiler:the ELS are capable of processing several orders of magnitude more information, and bringing a human into that link places the brain cells under so much strain that they actually begin dying from overexertion.]]

* Though [[ShrinkingViolet one of the characters]] can already speak [[{{Telepathy}} telepathically]] in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' (plus a minor ability by the lead), the pactio cards allow the [[BattleCouple two partners]] to communicate to eachother and only eachother; this is done with the mage's power (these pairs make up most of the cast). The partners of the mage don't seem to able to communicate with eachother, emphasizing the autonomous nature of the pact. This effectively subverts the [[UnwantedHarem nature of the series]].

* In VampireAcademy, best friends Rose and Lissa have a one-sided mental bond through which Rose can see through Lissa's eyes at will. This comes from the fact that Lissa used her rare ability to control the element Spirit to unknowingly bring Rose back to life after a car accident. Lissa's power is also PowerAtAPrice and can make her very depressed or downright insane with overuse, and Rose can take the effects away from Lissa and suffer them herself.

* MadeleineLEngle introduced the idea of "kything" in her book AWindInTheDoor. Apparently it's much stronger and more immersive than telepathy, as it allows Meg to see through her brother's eyes and provide him with an anchor point later in the series when he's traveling through time.
