* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': While it's a {{Cyberpunk}} setting, the environment [[WrongSideOfTheTracks of the slums]], where Slum Lords reign in the absence of law and order, see this being {{discussed|Trope}}. Sheryl was living as the favorite of the lord Sebia while [[TheJailbaitWait he waited for her charms to grow with age]]. After Akira kills Sebia in self-defense, Sheryl comes to Akira, and he helps her on condition that she take over Sebia's former gang and territory. Conflicting messages from both Akira and Sheryl cause a lot of characters to debate which one of the two in a (FakeRelationship) is calling the shots, which naturally would make the other The Favorite.
* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'': Out of the four heroes, the Spear Hero Motoyasu finds himself getting the most favor from the king of Melromarc. This is because his daughter, the Princess Malty/Myne, is on his team. This is shown by how, after the first monster invasion, he gets a heftier monetary reward than the other three, and nearly being made the lord of a town (the protagonist Naofumi, who's detested by the king and Malty, prevented that one for the villagers' sake).

* ''Fanfic/AMothToAFlame'': King Andrias is particularly fond of Marcy, holding her in higher regard than anyone else in his court. He heavily implies to Lady Olivia that he considers her to be the only one he can ''trust'', even going so far as to introduce her directly to The Core and explain their intentions.
* ''Film/FarewellMyQueen'': It depicts the relationship between Marie Antoinette and her favorite Gabrielle de Polignac. Marie Antoinette is implied to be in love with her, but Gabrielle doesn't return her interest by half and takes her position for granted. Even so, Marie Antoinette has her personal reader (the POV character who has feelings of her own for the queen) pose as Gabrielle's double so her favorite can safely flee.

Ibrahim, Peter the Great's godson, is powerful and influential and aware of it, but he rarely exploits it.

* In ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'', Annerose von Musel was Emperor Friedrich IV's favored concubine. The main thing she used this for was to get accelerated promotion for her brother Reinhard. For much of the early novels, much of the high nobility regarded Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm as nothing but a young upstart who never would have gotten anywhere had it not been for who his sister was sleeping with, even after he indisputably proved himself in battle.
