* ''Fanfic/LadyBugOut'': Alya is ''deeply'' upset by Marinette "betraying her" by helping Ladybug [[StartMyOwn start her own blog]], since the superheroine has used said blog to share her perspective of events and counteract the misinformation Alya was touting on her Ladyblog.

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'':
** Chloe's [[TheResenter resentment]] of her neglectful father, estranged childhood friend, and a class full of bullies poisons her relationships with others, such as Ash. Not only does this undermine her efforts to navigate the challenges of the Infinity Train, it gradually eats away at the general perception of her plight.
** Parker becomes convinced that those who hurt his sister were not punished ''enough'', with his grudges towards them snowballing into ''disastrous'' developments in Act 2 of ''[[Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail Blossoming Trail]]''.
** Mr. Bradbury tried to warn Professor Cerise about how Chloe was struggling, even recommending a therapist... something the Professor completely ignored. He [[IWarnedYou makes a point]] of rubbing this in her father's face at every opportunity, until Professor Cerise finally calls him out on the sheer ''pettiness'' of continuing to harp on the matter.
** Delia ''despises'' both Chloe and Parker for how they took out their personal issues on her son, and makes a point of spelling out to both of them how [[RejectedApology she refuses to forgive either of them]] for their actions. This creates strain between her and Ash, and ultimately bites her ''hard'' in the end: her grudge against Chloe spurs her to [[SkewedPriorities prioritize harping on her failures]] over [[spoiler:watching over Goh so that the Train can't collect ''him'' next]].
** Lillie calls out her brother for deliberately [[LockedOutOfTheLoop withholding critical information]] about what caused her poké-phobia, leaving her to suffer for ''years'' while he traveled around Alola playing the hero. After Gladion is picked up by the Train, Lillie is increasingly criticized for ''continuing'' to be upset with how he treated her.

* In ''Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesToDie'', the protagonist, Kaori Miura, earns admission to Talent High School by defeating Shiro Kurogane, the Ultimate Shogi Player, despite never having played before, thus causing Kurogane to hold a grudge against her. When the two of them are investigating the school along with Akito Sakuragi and Sae Edogawa, Kurogane not only [[RejectedApology refuses to accept Miura's apology]], but he makes snide remarks about her, and gives her a vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech when she tries to apologize again. Edogawa and Sakuragi call Kurogane out on his attitude, and Kuro Akasaka even suggests that Kurogane is being less mature than her six-year-old sister. [[spoiler:Sakuragi later takes advantage of Kurogane's grudge against Miura, killing him and trying to frame her for it.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheVictorsProject'': {{ZigZagged}} in the meeting between Rebel victors [[spoiler:Luxe St. James and Nolan De Naro]]. [[spoiler:Luxe]] is very sympathetic to the absolutely ''brutal'' hardships that [[spoiler:Nolan]] describes about District 9, but he also makes it clear that thinking The GrassIsGreener in District 1 is an incorrect assumption, making a NotSoDifferentRemark[=/=]WeAreStrugglingTogether speech about what a CrapsaccharineWorld District 1 has turned into under President Snow and Luster Lancaster, ending with a WhatTheHellHero line towards [[spoiler:Nolan]]. for his blind hatred of the inner districts and ignorant assumptions about [[spoiler:Luxe]].

Suffice to say, this does her no favors.
** Marinette also has no sympathy for her ''own'' grudge against Lila, believing that she's not ''allowed'' to have any [[MomentOfWeakness moments of weakness]]. This is shown to be an unhealthy mindset, but when Tikki tries reassuring her that she's allowed to be angry over everything Lila's done to her, Marinette dismisses that as her kwami being [[NotHimself under the akuma's influence]].
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20744306 running through rose thorns]]'', this trope is criticized. Apparently the anguish of being successfully framed for '''assault''' doesn't go away within days, [[SarcasmMode who knew]]?
-->'''Marinette:''' Alya ''knows'' I didn't do anything, but she still talks about me needing to get over my jealousy and forgive Lila and be more welcoming to her, like I'm just supposed to forget any of it happened.

* A more justified example than most in ''Fanfic/CatarinaClaesMustDie'': [[OriginalCharacter Henrietta]] is the reincarnation of a horribly bullied otaku who found some InUniverseCatharsis in getting the Bad Ends in ''Fortune Lover'' and seeing [[AlphaBitch Catarina]] get killed. When she reincarnates in the game's world, she refuses to accept, against all evidence, that ''this'' version of Catarina is [[KindheartedSimpleton completely]] [[AllLovingHero different]] from the game version, and refuses to let go of her grudge, to the point of [[spoiler:plotting to kill Catarina herself]].

* ''Fanfic/OnlyFlowersFall'': Lillie's refusal to forgive Lusamine for [[AbusiveParents abusing and]] [[ParentalNeglect neglecting her]] gets her judged harshly by those who don't know the full story, as they only see a daughter rejecting her ailing mother.

[[AC:''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'']]
* ''Fanfic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness'':
** In Act II, a blood transfusion from Kokoa turns Tsukune into a ghoul, and the first thing the ghoul does is murder Apoch and Astreal in cold blood. When the two are resurrected in Act III, Astreal, after discovering that Kokoa was the one who did so, albeit accidentally, tries to shoot Kokoa dead on more than one occasion, and is called out on it by the others every single time; even Apoch, who ''also'' blames Kokoa for their deaths, disapproves of Astreal trying to shoot Kokoa.
** In Act VI, Talon Ryashen is out to kill everyone who was ''ever'' a part of Fairy Tale for ''any'' reason because they kidnapped him off the streets and turned him into a HalfHumanHybrid. It's not enough that the ones who were truly responsible for his transformation are already dead; Talon blames ''everyone'' in Fairy Tale for his condition, regardless if they were simply receptionists or {{Unwitting Pawn}}s, and strives to kill them all. For this reason, even Tsukune's group (sans Kyouko) deem him a violent psychopath who needs to be stopped.
