* ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'' ended with the Grinch being reintegrated into Whoville to everyone's benefit.
** Both the [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|animated]] and [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (film)|live action movie]] adaptations of this story heavily implied that his thieving in some ways opened the Whos' eyes to how overly materialistic they'd been about Christmas, such that the [[Heel Face Turn|moral reformation]] was a two-way street.
* In ''[[Treasure Island]]'', the heroes did finally get their treasure. So did the villain Long John Silver, who [[Karma Houdini|escaped justice]] with several hundred pounds of it. In the words of protagonist Jim Hawkins, "I think we were all pleased to be so cheaply quit of him."
** Disney's ''[[Treasure Planet]]'', being a straight [[In Space]] adaption of ''[[Treasure Island]]'', has the same 'everybody goes home happy' ending, including Silver escaping with a bit of treasure and his freedom.
