* ''[[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/the-slippery-slope-worm-au.17767/ The Slippery Slope]]'': Once Lung is down and missing most of his limbs, Taylor reaches into the gaping hole in his chest to seize his heart and offer him a quick death if he tells her who tipped him off to the Empire's movements. Since Lung resents being used as a cat's paw, he's happy to take the offer and reveal that it was Coil, earning a clean decapitation.

* Defied in ''Film/ReservoirDogs'': When Mr. Blonde reveals that he captured a cop and everybody else discusses about whether or not torturing him for information about the possible mole in the heist team would work, Blonde makes clear he does not gives a damn. He just wants to torture the cop for kicks. If the cop knows anything and spills it out to try to make Blonde stop, or begs for a MercyKill, he ain't gonna get either either.

* In the ''Literature/{{Deryni}}'' novel ''The King's Justice'', Archbishop Edmund Loris intends to have the captive Duncan [=McLain=] burned at the stake as a Deryni heretic. But, says Loris, he'll give Duncan a quick death if Duncan confesses his heresies and betrays King Kelson's army. Subverted when Duncan listens carefully to Loris's words and realizes that Loris isn't offering a MercyKill; he's offering to give Duncan a dagger so he can kill ''himself'' -- and the act of suicide would damn Duncan's soul as surely as betraying Kelson would.
