* The ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13550638/1/Forever-Yellow Forever Yellow]]" observes that chronal energy generated by time travellers can impact the memories of those with brief contact with visitors to the past, although it is still possible to change history if people spend a prolonged time in the past. As a result, for some time the assembled team of Yellow Rangers (operating around the time of ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'') have to deal with opponents from the future where Venjix has conquered the world, but when they travel back in time to recruit Trini (''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'') and Tanya (''Series/PowerRangersZeo'') from the past for additional firepower, the other Rangers won't retain any memory of the original brief visit, although Trini and Tanya still need to have their memories erased once the crisis is over.

* "Fanfic/BrotherOnBrotherDaughterOnMother" argues that that time in ''Franchise/StarTrek'' has an inertia-like property that causes small alterations in the timeline to be papered over as history proceeds, resulting in a CloseEnoughTimeline. However, ''major'' alterations split off {{Alternate Timeline}}s that weaken the overall timestream, which can cause entire timelines and everything in them to [[RetGone disappear altogether]]. This is compared to a rope fraying.

* ''Times Without Number'' by Creator/JohnBrunner is a collection of short stories set in an alternate history where the Spanish Armada conquered England and the resultant European superpower went on to invent time travel. In the final story, an extremist travels back in time to sabotage the Armada; despite the hero's efforts, he succeeds, creating the history we're familiar with.

* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' provides this as the explanation for the Eugenics Wars, the franchise's most infamous ContinuitySnarl. In the episode ''[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS2E03TomorrowAndTomorrowAndTomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow]]'', a time traveling Romulan saboteur explains that the presence of so many time travelers interfering in Earth's history ''should'' be making a much greater impact, but for some reason particularly major events simply cannot be removed from the timeline without extreme effort. Thus, despite Khan Noonien Singh originally starting the Eugenics Wars in the '90s, he's now only a child by the late 2020's or early 2030's. His reign of terror may not happen at the same time, but it's too important ''not'' to happen.

* ''Franchise/FateSeries'': There are multiple timelines in the verse, and the history in each naturally branches based on decisions/different happenstances that may occur. The "rubber band" here exists in the name of "Quantum Time-Lock" --a phenomenon where the world (which is a sentient being in this verse) decides that things that happen in a particular time and/or in a particular place is immutable. One can theoretically change the past events that led to the event that was secured by Quantum Time-Lock, but that past will inevitably be "corrected" so that it will fit the secured event in some way.
