* In ''Fanfic/TheConfectionaryChronicles'', one reason Loki swiftly becomes fond of Hermione is that she subverts this trope. Most of the time once Loki responds to prayers for his aid in dealing with some urgent matter, people subsequently begin praying for his help with lesser matters such as getting a good job or winning someone over. By contrast, while Hermione summoned Loki to help punish those who drover her sister to suicide, afterwards she simply continues to worship him as her god without making lesser demands. While she does receive help from Loki, she only outright prays for his aid when she's in a life-or-death situation she knows she can't handle herself, and otherwise Loki gives her lessons and takes her on trips on his own merit rather than because Hermione asked for any of it.

* [[LightNovel/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil Adelheid von Schugel]] in ''FanFic/AYoungGirlsDelinquencyRecord''. In an unusual flavor, he's obsessed with the power of the divine/miracles and the ability to channel it through devotion and prayer. Particularly, his main wish is to reconstruct the monstrous [[ArtifactOfDoom Elenium Type-95 Computation Orb]], the single quad-core orb ever successfully produced and fielded. Combining his beliefs and desires makes him an unstable MadScientist perfectly willing to torture test subjects into insanity for a glimpse of the (unfortunately, very, very real) divine power that enabled to construct the orb in the first place.
