* In ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'', Illudere is crazy enough to try using one of these to get from place to place. However, it almost ends poorly for her: while the vents are just barely large enough for her to fit, her armor adds enough width that it makes traversing them an exercise in tedium, causing her to take hours just to get from a bedroom to the kitchen even with the aid of magic.

* {{Exploited|Trope}} in ''Fanfic/LegacyOfTheMagi'': [[ResearchInc All Fine Labs]] has a modest network of easily-traversed vents… that both are monitored and don't actually lead anywhere important, thus getting would-be snoopers to waste their time while also alerting the security team that there are snoopers afoot. This actually comes back to bite them when a [[CameBackWrong memoryhead]] escapes a room via these vents.

* ''Fanfic/WhereTheSunlightEnds'': {{Subverted}}; the air-vent that Peter One sleeps in during the time between the climax of ''No Way Home'' and that film's epilogue is cramped and uncomfortable, so Peter doesn't plan to use it for anything other than storage and sleep while he hunts for an apartment.
