Just finished playing Assassin's Creed (Brotherhood) and, as Shaun said during a contextual studies lesson, that stealing ideas is done all the time, there were a few that really jumped out at me.I know it's a game, and that they always steal ideas, and play fairly safe with the plot lines, but this one had an ending akin to Michael Moorecocks' Elric of Melniboné. The hero of the plot became an anti-hero, and something he trusted (in Elric's case, his Black Sword Stormbringer) turned against him and killed his loved one.
Based on this, i might revisit some of Moorcock's novels, and see if there's anything i can draw from them to back up some nice fantasy ideas :)
