* ''Fanfic/TheSaviorKingTheMasterTacticianAndTheQueenOfLiberation'': One of the main reasons the author despises Lonato is the fact that in the course of his rebellion to seek vengeance for his biological son Christophe's execution, he can fight and try to kill Ashe, his adopted son. After Lonato attempts to kill Ashe in this fic, after Ashe tries to convince him to stand down, Claude gives Lonato a vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling him out on this act, among other things, before killing him.

** Part of the reason Maegor I was so despised is that he killed his own nephews Aegon and Viserys, all to eliminate them from potentially deposing him. Maegor eventually met his unceremonious end being stabbed on the steps of the Iron Throne, which some of the more superstitious believe was the gods' punishment for kinslaying. In fact, every Targaryen who committed kinslaying died violent deaths: Aemond (killed his nephew Lucerys Velaryon) and Daemon (sent assassins to kill his great nephew Jaehaerys) perished in their duel above God's Eye; Aegon II (fed his sister Rhaenyra to his dragon) was poisoned; and Maekar I (accidentally killed his brother Baelor during a Trial of the Seven) was crushed to death by a boulder while dealing with a rebellion in the Reach.

* ''Fanfic/TheWeirwoodQueen'':
** At one point Sansa asks Sandor Clegane why he's never actually tried to kill his hated brother even when he had a golden opportunity to do so with full legal backing when Gregor attacked Loras at the Tourney of the Hand. [[spoiler:It's implied that despite his revenge fantasies, he still believes this on some level. And even when her original plan for a champion against Gregor falls through, the author states that she declines Sandor's silent offer to step forward because she doesn't want to make him a kinslayer, even at the risk of her own life.]]
** Tywin Lannister's abusive parenting leads to his children being at each other's throats, starting with Cersei successfully plotting Tyrion's death at the Battle of the Blackwater. [[spoiler:Then Jaime kills Tywin due to the latter finding out about his incestuous relationship with Cersei. Then Cersei and Jaime kill off each other after their attempts to escape Casterly Rock are in vain.]]

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Shou Tucker, who's considered the most loathsome HateSink in the story, becomes a State Alchemist by transmuting his wife together with a dog, creating a chimera that can talk but is in so much pain that she says, "I want to die," and later starves herself to death, thus making Tucker responsible for her death. Tucker does the same thing with his daughter Nina in order to keep his status as a State Alchemist, despite knowing what happened to his wife, and this also results in her death by causing Scar to MercyKill her.
