{{trope}}
* If '[[No Name Given|friend]]' in the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]] fanfic, [http://www.fimfiction.net/story/98797/my-name-is-twilight-sparkle My Name is Twilight Sparkle], isn't this trope he does a damn good job of [[Faux Affably Evil|faking it]].
* In [[Downfall (Fanficfanfic)|Downfall]], most of the villains are motivated by truly noble intents. Of course, any fic that has {{spoiler|Unohana, Ukitake, and Kyoraku}} working to overthrow the Seireitei...it's a given. Bonus points for making {{spoiler|Aizen, Gin, and Tousen}} the ''good'' guys. ''Realistically.'' By the time the reader's done, they want Seireitei burnt to the ground...
* In the musical ''[[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]'' parody, ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'':
** Quirrell and Voldemort sing, dance, pick up girls, and watch ''[[She's All That]]'' in between plotting to murder Harry. Oh, and one of Voldemort's Horcruxes is {{spoiler|a [[Zac Efron]] poster}}.
** The Dementor shown returning Quirrel's civilian clothes was also [[Punch Clock Villain|quite nice]].
** The sequel has Lucius Malfoy and Delores Umbridge. The former avoids ''walking'' at nearly every opportunity, preferring instead to show off with [[Awesome but Impractical|increasingly complicated ballet moves]]; Umbridge comes off as an odd mixture of Southern Baptist preacher, [[Yandere]], and drill sergeant. And she's played by [[Mr. Fanservice|hella gorgeous]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|Joe Walker]] <ref> who played Voldemort in AVPM.</ref>.
* In the ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' fan fiction [[The Not So Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (Fanfic)|The (Not So) Short Second Life of Bree Tanner]] and its companion piece, ''Ashes through an Hourglass'', Alec from the Volturi comes across as charming, insightful, and even sympathetic, without betraying his more villainous tendencies like manipulating Bree, showing a general indifference to human life, and casually ploting and rationalizing murder.
** The larger portion of reader reviews consider Alec not just amusing and appealing but actually ''persuasive'' in his outlook on being a vampire, which is almost always in stark contrast to the noble ideals and humane lifestyle of the Cullen family.
* Zirah from the Good Omens fanfiction ''[[The Sacred and The Profane (Fanfic)|The Sacred and Thethe Profane]]'' is kind, [[Stepford Smiler|always smiling]], and would kill a baby just because it was crying. {{spoiler|Even if said baby is [[The Antichrist]].}}
* ''[[Luminosity (Fanfic)|Luminosity]]'''s lower-ranking Volturi are pretty much all like this. The worst is Jane, who is best defined as amoral--if she hits you with her power, then she looks at you funny if you scream.
* Several of the villains of ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]'', including Nappa, Zarbon, and (especially) Ginyu.
* {{spoiler|Chaos}} from the ''[[Tamers Forever Series (Fanfic)|Tamers Forever Series]]'' isn't actually ''evil'' but still, for a ten billion year old avatar of destruction and disorder, it's remarkable just how ''normal'' he seems.
* ''[[Friendship Is Witchcraft]]'' has, naturally, canon [[Friend to All Living Things]] Fluttershy, who still keeps most of what makes her adorable in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|the actual series]], even trying to talk Rarity out of donating her sister's college fund to the local [[Religion of Evil]], finally giving in at Rarity's insistence. {{spoiler|And accepting the money; who do you think is cult leader?}}
* ''[[Yukari Is Free]]'' has Nai'tyrrus/Ghostmaster, political ambassador of the [[Aliens Are Bastards|Veluszhi Imperial Military]], and definitely the most polite of its three leaders, unlike his compatriots [[Big Bad|Warmaster]] and [[Complete Monster|Nerdmaster]]. This is best exemplified during {{spoiler|his attack on Hawaii}}, where he politely takes tea with and speaks courteously to Sasuke and Rei, even while {{spoiler|his ghost familiars are destroying the city, and he even fully admits that he's only keeping Sasuke and Rei around until they bore him.}}
* [[The Dragon|Sebastian Moran]] is portrayed this way in [http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/14213.html?thread=80649605 this] ''[[Sherlock]]'' fanfic. When he isn't acting as Moriarty's hired gun, Moran's a friendly guy who's nice to little old ladies and likes dogs.
* ''[[Final Stand of Death]]'' has [[Marilyn Manson]] as he doesn't hide that he's evil but remains calm about being it.
