Line 55:
* The famous ''[[Ranma ½]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''[[Hearts of Ice]]'' has Akane trapped in a dimension where time passes much faster than in Ranma's universe. By the time she gets home, she is seven years older than Ranma.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': There's actually a pretty good [[Doctor Who/Fanfic Recs|fanfic]] set in an alternate universe in which the Doctor takes the slow path with Reinette: [http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=7495 The Slow Path, or Two and a Half Centuries in Two and a Half Days].
* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon has to take The Slow Path for an evening at one point. Later, he travels several days back in
* ''[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/54993 The Lucky Ones]'' has the Bone-Eaters' Well shut down and Kagome become immortal in the process of destroying the Shikon Jewel, leaving her and [[Inuyasha]] to live out the five hundred years between then and her home.
* In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' story ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120501114157/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5966670/1/Marionette Marionette]'', Roxas ends up having to spend quite a few chapters at the end taking The Slow Path after being transported back to the past. {{spoiler|Of course it's [[All Just a Dream|all just a very long dream]]... [[Or Was It a Dream?|or was it?]]}}
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Bill and Ted (film)|Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey]]'' ends with the duo leaving and returning in their time machine, before explaining to the audience that they just slipped away for a year and a half to get married, have a honeymoon and actually learn to play the guitar! How this is done considering [[San Dimas Time]] is not explained.
▲*** [[Fridge Brilliance|They wrote down what time it was when they were leaving, and set the time machine to one and a half years before they left at that exact moment of the day.]] Possibly as a response to all the people going "Why didn't they do that in the first movie?"
* In [[Back to The Future|''Back to The Future Part II'' and ''III'']], Doc, stranded in 1885, sends the broken time machine to himself and Marty in 1955 by sealing it in a cave and letting time pass so they can repair it. He also gave [[Write Back to the Future|a letter]] to Western Union with instructions to hold it and not to deliver it to Marty until a few seconds after Doc was sent back.
** In a way this happens to Doc in the first movie as well. Marty pops in from the future and he helps him get back, knowing he won't see Marty again for decades, and it'll be even longer before they can discuss what happened. Just before Marty goes back to 1985, Doc tells him how hard it'll be to wait thirty years to talk about the excitement of building a working time machine.

* ''[[Futurama]]'':
** In "Roswell That Ends Well", a direct parody of the ''TNG'' episode occurs: Bender's head is dropped in the New Mexico desert in the 1940s, and has to be recovered ''a thousand years later''. Not only does Bender not mind being buried in the dirt for a millennium, he actually complains upon being rescued that his peace and quiet are being disturbed.
** In ''Bender's Big Score'', the titular robot ''repeatedly'' and happily volunteers to go back in time, steal precious historical treasures, and then wait in a cavern under Planet Express headquarters until a few seconds after leaving. And then {{spoiler|at the end of the film, Bender "wakes up" all of the duplicates and has them exit the basement when they were not logically supposed to, thus creating a hole in the universe, and setting the stage for the next film}}.
