Line 44:
* [[Harry Potter (novel)|Severus Snape]] tried to do this in regards to [[The Lost Lenore|Lily Evans]] after she became [[Big Bad|Lord Voldemort's]] primary target (along with her husband and son). {{spoiler|It didn't work.}}
* In [[Honor Harrington|Mission of Honor]] the title character of the series persuades her Queen(who believes with some justification that [[Troubled Sympathetic Bigot|she has every reason to hate and distrust her enemies]]) to give the Planet of Haven a chance at peaceful negotiation instead of subjecting it to [[Death From Above]].
* Averted in [[Vorkosigan Saga|Captain Vorpatril's Alliance]]. [[The Emperor]] apparently on his own volition spares his foster-brother's new in-laws despite the fact that they were making unauthorized use of a new genetic manipulation(a big no-no on a mutation paranoid planet), and were bringing a possible accessory to war crimes in their train. In this case it is not just [[Nepotism]] toward his foster-brother's new bride but a realization that there is a foreign policy convenience in having them as allies.
