Misery loves company. Characters with nothing in common except their loneliness band together — as many or as few as are lonely. Anything from brief moments of A Friend in Need as they offer moral support to the formation of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits from the Power of Friendship can ensue. Couples may get all the way to the Power of Love starting from here. May justify Pairing the Spares. Contrast Alone Among the Couples. Compare with its cousin Breakfast Club, for a gang of lonely and miserable people that are together because of it, and Commonality Connection. See also Twice Shy. |

In Twig, Lillian befriends Mary while the latter is locked up undergoing debriefing at Radham Academy, where Lillian, a scholarship student who gets her credit hours by acting as The Medic for the Lambsbridge Gang, is isolated from both the other Lambs and her fellow students, and Mary has lost the semblance of a family created by the man who cloned her after he left her to die. | |

Tarma and Kethry in Heralds of Valdemar's Vows and Honor start off from this basis, teaming up to help Tarma take Revenge on the bandits who slaughtered her clan, only for Tarma to try to die when they had finished. Kethry saves her and gets her to talk about why she didn't want to live. At the end of it Tarma proposes becoming oath-sisters because neither of them has anyone else, and they wind up exceedingly close over time. | |

Bleach: Despite their contrasting personalities, Starrk and Lilynette — two Arrancars that had been split from the same Hollow — have stayed with each other ever since out of their loneliness and desire for friendship. They even (possibly) died together while a flashback of when they met for the first time is shown Turns out this is how Gin and Rangiku met and became friends, too. Both of them were orphans from the Rukongai parts of Soul Society, Gin saved Rangiku from starving to death, Rangiku was the first person who treated him as a friend... |

Comes up a few times in Cheers. In particular, it's the focus of the episode "Thanksgiving Orphans", where the gang can't be with their loved ones on Thanksgiving and instead eat dinner at Carla's. In the end, they declare they're thankful for all the people they miss (Norm's wife, Cliff's mother, the recently-deceased Coach) since it does mean they have people they care about. | |

Heroes: Sylar and Peter as of Season 4 episode 18 (or around there), The Wall. Rather forced on them since spending five years with only each other as company would suck pretty badly, especially if it's with the guy who killed your brother.

This trope is ultimately what causes the two main characters of Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph and Vanellope, to come together, as the two recognize the obvious parallels between them. Both are outcasts in their respective games, treated like dirt by their fellow NPCs and forced to eke out a living in a garbage dump, who are seeking a better life for themselves. | |

The driven-to-sanity Vandal Savage is overjoyed to meet a fellow person, even if he is an old enemy, and invites him to his house for lunch. And to show him all the self-help books he's read over the millennium to cure his megalomania. | |

Mars (1996): When Rei freaks out after Kira accepts living with her mother and abusive step-father, Tatsuya tries to get Rei to sympathize with Kira's plight by telling him that Kira's mom is all she has left (considering Kira is an only child and her father died when she was in grade school) and turning her back on her would leave Kira all alone. Rei shouts back "I'm alone, too!" (his twin brother having committed suicide years ago, his mom dying when he was a kid, and Rei being estranged from his father, his only living relative left), all but saying that he expected their relationship to be this trope. | |

In Inuyasha, this is how Kikyou and Inuyasha got together in the past. Kikyou was a very respected Teen Genius Miko but people tended to not see beyond this facade and thus, save for her little sister Kaede, she was very lonely. On the other hand, Inuyasha was a half-Youkai and thus was ostracized ever since childhood by both humans and youkais. Kikyou treated Inuyasha with kindness, Inuyasha treated Kikyou without making distinctions... therefore, they started to fall in love and decided to wish on the Shikon no Tama so he would become a human, which would allow them to stay together. Then Naraku happened... | |

So May welcomed her in the Parkers' house.

A central theme of Persona 5; each member of the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits that make up the main cast as well as the Confidants that make up the supporting cast has some aspect that makes them an outcast to society at large.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: Maki preemptively offers to do this with Ishigami during the Culture Festival arc, promising to hang out with him if Tsubame turns down his love confession so they could both wallow in misery over their failed love lives together. Deconstructed with Iino and Osaragi, whose entire friendship is based on the fact that they were both outcasts in elementary school. This eventually causes their entire relationship to fall apart at the seams in Chapter 231 because the former now has a wider social circle and the latter has been a horrible friend for the past several months (if not since the beginning). |

A rather popular "interpretation" for Doumeki and Kohane in ×××HOLiC. It does make sense: they got along decently, they both loved Watanuki in their own ways, and it's likely that they chose to marry because he wanted to leave behind descendants to watch over Watanuki as he waits, unaging, for an untold amount of time for the chance to meet Yuuko again, and she probably agreed with his sentiments. | |

In Power Pack, when their mother was in the hospital, Katie invited several characters they had met to have Thanksgiving with them. This infuriated her brothers and sister, and at the climax, she explained that when they met the Morlocks, her sister had told her how she had realized it was better to be alone and miserable together, and so she had invited everyone else who had no one else to celebrate Thanksgiving with. Her older brother declares that they can have a party if they're going to be miserable at it. | |

If you choose Otacon's ending in Metal Gear Solid, it's basically this. Otacon has no friends because he's a painfully unlucky Otaku and Snake has no friends because he killed them all. In later games, they fight Metal Gear proliferation. | |

The Last Birdling centers around an Interspecies Friendship between Tayo, a human child, and Bimonia, a Birdling child. Neither of them has ever had any friends their own age, Tayo due to her "unladylike" interest in archery and Bimonia due to being one of the last members of her species, and thus the two take to each other very quickly. | |

The Station Agent is an essay on this trope, showing us characters who are all lonely but in completely different ways. Train enthusiast Finn has been so thoroughly mocked and belittled for his dwarfism that he's emotionally isolated himself, and jumps at the chance to physically isolate himself when he inherits an abandoned train depot in the middle of nowhere and promptly moves in. He strikes up a reluctant friendship with Olivia, who is battling depression after the death of her young son, and Joe, who was forced to leave his life in Manhattan to care for his sick father and run his food truck. | |

The Malazan Book of the Fallen has the human Seerdomin and the Tiste Andii Spinnock Durav who meet every evening in Scour Tavern to play Kef Tanar, get drunk and be miserable together. When Spinnock falls in love with a human priestess Seerdomin even calls him a fool for not acting on his feelings, but it still amounts to nothing. | |

Kevin Can F**k Himself: Allison is trapped in an financially and emotionally abusive marriage to Kevin, and has no friends of her own. Patty supposedly does have friends, but secretly loathes them all, especially Kevin, finding him to be cruel and boorish, and mostly sticks around because he's friends with her brother Neil, and she has nowhere else to go. Both women suffer from deep depression and loneliness, and each throw up a mask over their real feelings (Allison being a desperate Stepford Smiler on the brink of a full breakdown, while Patty is more a Sour Outside, Sad Inside type). Despite their differences in personality and their distant, unfriendly relationship at the start of the series, the two gradually morph into Heterosexual Life-Partners, bonding when they each realize the other is as alone and desperate for love as they are. The final lines of the series are the two women agreeing, "Let's die alone together." | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor's relationship with his companions often starts from here; whether it be platonic or romantic, most of the people he travels with are loners, and many are explicitly depicted as lonely. As for the Doctor: there is a reason why one character refers to him as the Lonely Angel. To give some context, in the classic series reference was made to Dodo's great-aunt and Jo's uncle, Victoria and Leela's fathers and Tegan's aunt were killed shortly before they started travelling with the Doctor (although a later episode saw them visit Tegan's grandfather), Nyssa's father was possessed by the Master, Turlough left the Doctor after being reunited with his brother, and we briefly meet Peri's stepfather and Ace's grandmother (albeit meeting the grandmother during World War II when Ace's future mother is only a baby herself). Spin-off media set in the Classic Era also revealed that Dodo was an orphan raised by a strict great-aunt she didn't get along with, Peri's mother died during a Cyberman attack when the Doctor took her home for a visit, and Ace had a half-brother. |

Forever: Henry and Jo have both lost the love of their life and aren't yet over them. Jo took to drinking and meaningless one night stands, while Henry isolated himself from any new relationships, even casual friendship. In the first episode, Henry gives Jo company when she retreats to a bar, and after Jo asks Henry his story, he asks Jo about her late husband. In "The Art of Murder" Henry and Jo bond over how hard it is to go back to a place where they shared happy memories with their spouse. | |

The Internship: In Volume 3, during (yet another) argument with Cooper, River admits that this is part of why they want to genuinely get along with him. River, having faced isolation themselves due to identifying as a transgender individual, actually empathizes with Cooper’s feelings of being an outcast. Realizing this turns out to be a major wake-up call for Coop, as it makes him realize that he’s not alone in the world, causing him to start thinking positively for the first time. | |

A Crown of Stars: Asuka and Shinji are in this situation at the very beginning of the story. They have been drawn to each other since they were teens, but they had been unable to open up and reach out to each other back then. After several years of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world and being the plaything of two dictators, Asuka is so torn and soul-weary that she does not dare to love anybody (and she thinks she is not worthy of being loved by anyone). They stick together because they're kindred spirits and believe that nobody else in the world could understand their pain. However, their relationship is very fragile and they expect and fear that it will eventually collapse. From that point, the fic narrates how they and their relationship get gradually better. | |

Rammstein's "Armee der Tristen" (lit. "Army of the Sad") is an exploration of the darker elements of this trope, and about how those lonely and depressed can band together and turn their negative emotions into destructive tendencies. Amongst the (translated) lyrics are standouts like, "Come join us and fall in line / We want to be sad together", "Hand in hand, no looking back / come on, we are closing our ranks", and "Should we despair together / Depressed and melancholic / Pessimistic, diabolic." | |

In The Greenhouse, the demon 'Red' has spent the entirety of her time on earth trapped in a mirror, able to glimpse the lives of the humans who rented her apartment but never interact with them. Mica, her host, fully expects to have to run away from everyone she knows and loves to prevent her Psycho Ex-Girlfriend from ruining their lives. In a moment of vulnerability, Red points out that she can't be hurt like that, and asks Mica to resummon her once they've been separated, so at least they can be alone together. Mica says yes. | |
