* ''Manga/ShakuganNoShana'' ultimately ends this way. A god named Fu Xi was awakened by the prayers of his followers, the Crimson Denizens, and planned to create a new world for his subjects to live in, away from the conflict with the Flame Hazes. Under the impression that the amount of [[LifeEnergy Power of Existence]] that this plan would require would damage the Earth, the Flame Hazes fought back, and, in the end, sealed the god away. Cut to the present, and Fu Xi is released once again by Bal Masque, the antagonists of this series. This time, however, Fu Xi enters a contract with Yuji, and is renamed as 'The Snake of the Festival'. A second great war breaks out between the Flame Hazes and the Crimson Denizens, but Yuji and the god succeed in creating Xanadu, and were even able to do so without disrupting the fabric of reality around Earth. The conflict between the the two warring factions was now over, as the Crimson denizens relocate to Xanadu (alongside Shana and Yuji, to boot).

* [[http://john.seikdel.net/gocomics.php?date=811102&comic=blm This]] ''BloomCounty'' strip, which also [[TropesAreNotBad demonstrates an upside]] to BookBurning: as long as the burners are ''buying'' their kindling, the customers are satisfied, the stores that sold them their materials get paid, and the offending creator of the works destroyed gets another big fat royalty check.

* The tale of [[http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type1675.html Peter Ox]] is an even better example: TheBadGuyWins, but an odd brand of HilarityEnsues and the farmer and his wife and their new step-son all end up living together HappilyEverAfter to the end of their days anyway. In this case, it's also win-win-win, as the titular Peter Ox is basically a bystander who just happens to reap great benefits when he gets caught up in the cover story the bad guy fed the farmer and his wife.

* IrresponsibleCaptainTylor has this. Episode 23 features the conflict between Earth and the Raalgon coming to its climax... and then Tylor, the leader of Earth's forces, refuses to fire on the enemy, instead opting to pass through their lines peacefully. His unnatural luck, paired with his counterpart Dom's sense of honor (both of them repeatedly countered orders to fire from subordinates, believing in the other), caused the great conflict's final battle to end without bloodshed - a sympathetic retired admiral on Earth sent a message to both commanders congratulating them for both achieving victory (by going for peace).

* In ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', the final confrontation between Miho and her sister Maho's schools ends this way. Miho, in winning the tournament, saves her school from being shut down, enabling her to return for her third year with all her friends, and validates her own style of tankery. In doing so, she also makes this also a victory for Maho, whose greatest desire and reason for serving AS Nishizumi heir is for Miho to be able to live and do tankery her own way, and be happy doing so.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic:'' In the two-part series opener, the heroines save Equestria from Nightmare Moon’s attempted eternal night. In the process, Nightmare Moon is reverted to her pre-villain identity as Princess Luna. After [[DefeatMeansFriendship she asks forgiveness for her wrongdoing]], the episode ends with a celebration in honor of Princess Luna’s return. (And the entire reason Luna had turned to villainy in the first place was because she thought the ponies didn’t love or respect her.)

* Almost the definition of commerce if it works as intended (note the qualifier). For instance the Chinese had a great craving for jade and TheRomanEmpire had a great craving for silk and after a ChainOfDeals through the Silk Road by relays of {{Intrepid Merchant}}s, each managed to get it. A little more complicated then a simple trade, as Romans didn't have jade but they did have gold, with which could buy jade in central Asia.

Sure, Leo gets to stay in his own house, Kyle gets to stay in New Providence and Cindy is out of the immediate picture - but she gets $1500 a month for nothing while Mike has to take a second job and Kyle may have blown his chance at a wrestling scholarship.
