* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'':
** Caleb wants revenge on Raythor for his father's death. Later, after Raythor has been framed and thrown into the Abyss of Shadows, [[MookLieutenant Lothar]] seeks to avenge him.
** One of [[KnightTemplar Tharquin's]] men points out that most acts of violence against humans and Galhots by Shapeshifters were retaliation for acts of violence ''against'' Shapeshifters, like when Tharquin occasionally lets one of his victims live to give people a reason to keep supporting him. Tharquin kills that man as a result.
[[AC:''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'']]
* ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'': After [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon Hiccup]] and his friends effectively [[CurbstompBattle curbstomp]] King Donnchadh mac Brian, Hiccup pointedly refuses to kill the king, citing this trope as one of his reasons. He doesn't want King Donnchadh to become a martyr, or to have an army under his banner seeking revenge against Berk. In defending his decision, Hiccup points out that the Cycle of Revenge is at the heart of the story of Ragnarok; Odin banished or tortured Loki's children out of fear, which prompted Loki to kill Baldr, which drove Odin to punish Loki, which would lead to Loki joining the jotunn against Asgard.

* In ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsMagicalGirls'', one of these exists between the Soaring Lion Eagle and Emerald Flame Dragon clans. They were rivals for years, ultimately leading to a member of one killing the fiance of a member of the latter in a jealous rage. This caused the latter to fly into an UnstoppableRage, wiping out most of the Soaring Lion Eagles and scattering the others around the world. Now, in the present day, Gilda — the last Soaring Lion Eagle — wants to wipe out the Emerald Flame Dragons in revenge.
* ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse:'' Trixie and Galeb the zebrony's beef in "Title Match". She used to be friends with him, until she got his brother arrested for breaking the law.

[[spoiler:He agrees, and comes to a relative truce.]]
* ''Fanfic/StarlightOverDetrot'': Griffin culture was based on this, so badly that more griffins died during brief times of peace than during wars with foreign nations. Eventually, to prevent them from going extinct, the griffin ruler instituted a system for symbolically representing blood debts and trading these debts. By the present day, the griffins have built a complex economy on these blood debts.

* ''A Push'': Sansa goes through with shoving Joffrey off the ledge following her father's execution, killing him. In response, Cersei has Sansa executed by beheading. Then Robb Stark returns the favor by beheading Jamie Lannister.
* In ''Fanfic/ChasingDragons'', Khal Pobo unites a massive Dothraki horde to wage war against the Kingdom of Myr in order to avenge the death of his own Khal, Zirquo, at the Battle of Narrow Run. In return, Robert swears revenge against the Dothraki for the depravities performed on his subjects during this conflict.
[[AC:''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'']]
* ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'': The Metarex War is basically a hugely-escalated version of this trope between Tsali and the Metarex. Also deconstructed as [[spoiler:both sides are [[MotiveDecay getting increasingly exhausted of the endless fighting]]]]. They finally break the cycle at the end thanks to Cosmo's intervention.
[[AC:''Franchise/StarTrek'']]
* ''Fanfic/FlaihhsamSSpahkh'''s OpeningNarration discussed this. Romulans, particularly Romulan nobles, are prone to this due to the societal code of ''mnhei’sahe'': a loss of face has to be rectified by word, deed, or blood, and can lead to cycles of revenge lasting for centuries. On the flip side, they also remember past favors and help with equal clarity, and so Romulan survivors revere Spock for stopping the Hobus event before it got any worse.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'']]
* ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'': One of the alternate versions of the protagonist is in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, and has made a goal of actually settling the dwarfs' Book of Grudges. It's a big job, but his ability to massacre orcs and goblins has helped him to make great strides. The elves are surprised by the novel idea that their centuries of warfare with the dwarfs could actually be resolved fairly quickly with a proper accounting and payment of fines.
