* A symptom of LoveAtFirstSight in [[Creator/DanteAlighieri Dante]]'s ''Literature/VitaNuova'' is that your organs give a play-by-play commentary of the romance. The heart (source of all CardiovascularLove) starts to worship the beloved, the brain recognizes [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Beatrice]] as a true source of happiness, and the stomach laments that the lover now has a higher goal than satisfying his hunger.

* At the end of the Russian folktale "The Peasant, the Bear and the Fox", collected by Creator/AlexanderAfanasyev, the titular fox gets chased by the titular peasant's dogs. While hiding in a hole, he asks his eyes, ears, feet and tail about what have they done in order to help her escape. While the first three admit to have helped, the tail answers that it tried to make her trip while running so she could get caught. Enraged by this, the fox sticks her tail outside so that it can get eaten by the dogs. However, once the dogs do so, they end up dragging the whole fox outside and killing her.

* Yet another fable has a snake's tail trying to be the one who leads the entire body's movement instead of the head (who initially scolds it about the idea), but it only succeeds on making the whole snake fall off a cliff and die.

* Invoked in ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. When cyborg girl Petrushka is told she is dying of cancer, she asks for her memory blocks to be removed and remembers her past as a ballet dancer in Russia. Petra then has her fellow cyborgs record her doing the ballet of the Dying Swan by Camille Saint-Saëns. Her handler Sandro delivers the video to her ex-boyfriend in Russia (who'd been told that Elizaveta, the woman Petra used to be, had died) telling him that this is a woman who'd been donated Elizaveta's organs after her death, and suggesting that this is reason why she is following in Elizaveta's footsteps as a dancer.



* ''Film/BattleBeyondTheStars''. The protagonists allow a member of the Nestor HiveMind to be captured. Being a MixAndMatchMan, Sador has his surgeon-torturer cut off the man's hand to replace his own diseased limb, only to find out almost too late that the hand is still under the control of the HiveMind. The surgeon is able to stop Sador from cutting his own throat by chainsawing off the limb [[SkipTheAnesthetic on the spot]].

* The CreepyPasta ''This is What Happens When You're PatientZero For a New Virus'' is about a newfangled disease that causes organs to acheive sapience and motility and try to leave, believing that the human mind doesn't treat them right. Anything autonomous decides to simply quit performing their duties for longer than it takes to sustain themselves, and if the brain tries to do anything about it, they maliciously comply, generating crippling pain, pirapisms, or simply jettisoning their contents, in the case of the stomach and bowels.
