* The [[Trope
** [[Tom Holt]] spoofed this scene in ''Open Sesame''; a fairy provides medical care by shouting "I do believe in humans!"
*** And again in ''Paint Your Dragon'':
Line 171:
* Subverted in ''[[Blindsight]]''; the vampires and crosses thing is [[Doing In the Wizard|not because of anything religious or mystical]] but because their brains go into seizure [[Weaksauce Weakness|when exposed to straight vertical and horizontal objects in their visual field forming a 90 degree angle]] (not as dumb as it sounds: there are people who have similar types of problems due to head trauma). That sort of thing is not that common in nature, and it wasn't much of a problem until their food source went and invented architecture and drove them into extinction.
* Subverted in Christopher Golden's ''Shadow Saga'' in that the effects of the cross on vampires is purely psychosomatic because {{spoiler|the Roman Catholic Church captured a bunch of vampires during the dark ages and brainwashed them into believing in a number of myths.}}
