* The Cultists of Dagon use underwater nukes against attacking NEG forces in [[Aeon Natum Engel (Fanfic)|Aeon Natum Engel]]. Radical measures were proposed in both NEG Military High Command and the Migou Council, but calmer heads prevailed.
* The nBSG Cylons try to nuke the Stiletto in ''[[The Open Door]]'', but the ship tanks all of them without needing its shields.
* In ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'', when Gendo asks Kaji how many UN warheads, dirty (nuclear) bombs or otherwise, are pointed at Tokyo-3 in case Misato and Risuko's plan against Iruel fails, Kaji's reply...namely, ''[[More Dakka|all of them]]'', meets with his satisfaction.
* This is the divergence point in [[And If That Don't Work]]. True to the fics name after [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo|an N2]] don't work on Sachiel, The [[From Russia With Nukes|Russians]] [[More Dakka|Use More Gun.]]
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5378267/1/bConquest_b_of_the_bEmperor_b_The_World_of_Naruto The Grand Empire] somewhat does this to Madara and his Zetsu's. But it is implied that they first had someone check to see what the impact of the fallout would be. Their [[Plan]] for the effects of the fallout makes it this trope.
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4236712/1/Project_Tatterdemalion Project Tatterdemalion], the top authorities involved initially wanted to nuke the facility after the Hollows began rampaging. Bad idea. As Juushirou explains, heat and radiation kill a lot of things, but only if they're contained long enough. If the Hollow virus was sporific, all nuking the facility would've done is pop open the box the Hollows were kept in, and spread still-infectious Hollow bits up into the jetstream, dooming the world...and infecting the spaceports. And as Juushirou said, all they knew for certain was 'Alien,' and 'Dangerous,' so it could've indeed been sporific, or close enough for an apocalypse.
* In the [[Deva Series (Fanfic)|Deva Series]] {{spoiler|1=the Americans use a pair of SLBMs to obliterate a massive swarm of [[Implacable Man|Seeds]] that were heading for either New York or London. Even though nothing else significant was harmed - middle of the ocean, and all - Hayate was not happy, since she feels that it wouldn't be too much of a stretch now for someone to think to launch a barrage of nukes at Al Hanthis... which would obliterate Cairo in the process. Also, the Al Hantheans are utterly horrified once they learn exactly how nuclear weapons work. It is probably worth noting that there is [[In-Universe]] debate as to whether this was [[Nuke'Em]] or [[Nuclear Option]]; it did work, and [[Warrior Prince|Yussef]] and [[Sergeant Rock|Maunders]] don't consider it an overreaction. Yussef notes that point defences now make anything short of a nuclear [[Macross Missile Massacre]] worthless against Al Hanthis and would rather not use another if possible, but is mentally prepared to do so [[Godzilla Threshold|if all the chips are down]], unlike Hayate who absolutely refuses to consider it.}}
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/~mrevil Mr. Evil's] [[Ben 10]] fanfiction [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4267279/1/Hero_High_Sphinx_Academy Hero High: Sphinx Academy], the Head of the Tempus Family questions why they can't just Nuke the city school they know the [[Big Bad]] to be in. Her assistants reveal that from the structural design he [[Genre Savvy|already re-enforced the school to protected it against such an attack]].
