[[FriendlyRivalry Friendly Rivalries]] in FanWorks.
----
[[AC:''Music/{{Avantasia}}'']]
* Scarecrow and Elderane have this in the ''Fanfic/AvantasiaProtagAU'' series. They tease each other and try to one up each other over silly things, but are friends who won't hesitate to rescue the other if danger appears or work together when the situation calls for it.

[[AC:''Franchise/TheDCU'']]
* Cadets [[ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} Kate Kane]] and Sophie Moore are girlfriends in ''Fanfic/WellMatched'', but have zero problem beating the tar out of each other in a championship boxing match. They're good sports about it afterward, and still just as much in love. ''Fanfic/CadetScrap'', which ''Well-Matched'' is a prequel to, has a similar premise, with the same characters duking it out in a private LightheartedRematch and remaining on good terms.

[[AC:''Franchise/DragonAge'']]
* The relationship between Varric and Dorian in ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook'' might be best described this way. They snark at and denigrate each other periodically, and play ridiculous over-the-top pranks on one another -- but they also look out for, help, confide in, and respect each other a great deal. Eventually, they jokingly refer to one another as "the brother I never wanted."

[[AC:''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'' has [[RivalryAsCourtship a romantic variant]]. After they get together, Asuka finds the idea of Shinji catching up with her Synch test scores to be a genuine thrill as it constantly pushes her to improve. Shinji has similar feelings about it, though not to the same extreme due to lacking Asuka's [[BloodKnight lust for battle]].

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
* ''Webcomic/FfreiresNaruFoxAU'':
** While Ino and Sakura were both interested in Sasuke, their rivalry for his affections is much more relaxed. All the more so after Team Seven was formed and Sakura got to know him better, growing comfortable enough to tease him when he compliments Ino.
** Rock Lee wishes to follow in his teacher's footsteps by fostering a friendly rivalry with all three of Kakashi's students. When he steps in to [[BigDamnHeroes assist Sakura against the Sound Trio]], he asks if she'd be willing to take him on in a match sometime; though confused, she agrees.
* Contrasting with their canon counterparts, Naruto and Sasuke are closer to this in ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin''. While they remain highly competitive with each other, [[AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul the two respect each other's skills much more and their canon animosity is virtually non-existent]]. It also helps that Sasuke has Itachi [[MoralityChain to help curb down his ego]], so when Naruto finally catches up to him [[spoiler:and defeats him in the Chunin Exams]], he's able to cope better with it.

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* Due to his more serious mindset in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11803928/1/ Challenger]]'', Ash develops a fairly friendly rivalry with Paul. They still trash talk each other and battle any chance they get, but it's also clear they respect each other as well.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Jessica}}'', Cameron and his friend, "P," play ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' simultaneously to see who finishes first. Cameron leaves P in the dust.
* In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' and its sidestories, this is shown with several characters. The most prominent in the main story is Ash with A.J., who develop a degree of respect for one another after Ash breaks A.J.'s winning streak. Since then, A.J. always awaits eagerly their next encounter, and a sidestory reveals that he considers Ash a friend.
