* Downplayed with Mammom in ''Fanfic/ADivineRomanticComedy''. Yes, he's the vilest of the Seven Deadly Sins and is Charlie's HonoraryUncle, but he's uncharacteristically generous with her on a level that he isn't with anyone else and is shown to sincerely care for his niece. He also doesn't oppose or antagonize her like a straightforward example of this trope and is actually somewhat helpful, having given her the seed money needed to help her get started with her hotel.

Crosswicking. also removed that bit of natter, though i don't know the sources of the fic well enough to decide whether the example itself is valid


** This isn't an example specific to this fic. Tabitha's relationship with her uncle is canon.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/ThrowAwayYourMask'' plays with this: while the being [[EyeDentityGiveaway claiming]] to be Kurusu Tsuyoshi almost definitely isn't actually related to Akira, he still [[BlatantLies claims]] that Akira is his nephew when Akechi asks what he is.

* In [[Myth/HinduMythology Hindu Lore]], the Avatar Krishna's uncle Kamsa was a kind fellow who loved his sister until he heard a prophecy stating that his nephew would overthrow him. This made him go berserk, imprisoning his sister and killing her nine children in succession as soon as they were born. Needless to say, the tenth child escaped and kicked his ass after he grew up.
* Also in Hindu mythology is the uncle Shakuni from the Mahabharat, who right from the start hates that his sister marries a blind man(and subsequently blinds herself with a cloth as well) and forever plots for his nephew to be king, while plotting against his other nephews who have a better right to be king.

While the book has [[GreyAndGreyMorality numerous characters of varying degrees of grayness in morality]], Shakuni from the Mahabharat, who right from the start hates that his sister marries a blind man(and subsequently blinds herself with a cloth as well) and forever plots for his nephew is widely considered to be king, while plotting against his other nephews who have a better right to be king. the true villain of the story.
