In which a Love Triangle results in the two suitors, who had previously been competing over the same person, developing romantic feelings for each other instead. Might happen in a Harem Genre romance, if two of the leftover suitors end up together. At least one character in the love triangle needs to be gay or bisexual for this to work. For that reason, it's most commonly seen in works with lots of LGBT characters, such as Fanfiction, New Media, and the yaoi/yuri genre. |

An odd version in Adventure Time: Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee are originally introduced as fictional characters in a "fanfiction" written by the Ice King, where they are rivals for the affections of Fionna. Then in Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, Prismo reveals that the "fanfiction" was based on a real dimension, where the same characters exist as real people, though their lives and relationships are no longer identical to the fictional version since the Ice King lost his magic. In this world, Marshall and Gumball/Gary become a couple, without ever apparently being interested in Fionna. | |

At the start of Carry On, Simon is dating Agatha and has a passionate hatred of his roommate/nemesis Baz who has his eye on Agatha too. However, it turns out that Simon's passionate hatred of Baz is actually passionate Belligerent Sexual Tension and Baz has really been in love with Simon all along and only pretended to be interested in Agatha to push Simon's buttons. By the time the novel starts, Agatha is fed up with magical adventures and is glad to put distance between herself and them, leaving them to fall for each other. | |

Hannibal has a double version— in Season Two, Hannibal and Alana Bloom are a couple. Will has some mutual interest with Alana, but has sex with Margot. Both couples split up, and in Season Three, Alana and Margot become a couple, while Will and Hannibal have a romance. Slightly subverted, in that it's strongly implied Hannibal always liked Will, and only had sex with Alana to make Will jealous. | |

Homestuck has Dave and Karkat both competing for the attention of Terezi, with the subtext between them mostly Played for Laughs. After John's Cosmic Retcon, however, neither seem particularly interested in getting with Terezi and instead spend most of the story's later arcs growing closer to each other. By the end, they are very heavily implied to have become an item. | |

Several Spy X Family fan comics tease Yuri and Fiona hooking up. In this fan dubbed comic, originally by sagagumi (at the 0:00-2:26 mark) Yuri is babysitting Anya, and they run into Fiona. Fiona has the idea to Honey Trap Yuri and get Loid's approval, but in the they end up sympathizing with each other over how they can't have the person they're in love with and decide to spend Christmas together, though Anya fears they'll wander into the Forgers' Christmas party. In this fandubbed comic, originally by Boz Kun, during Yor's birthday party, Fiona and Yuri watch jealously as Loid lovingly puts a necklace on Yor. When they yell at Yor and Loid to "just get a divorce already!" they think that the other insulted their beloved by calling them a bad spouse, but Yuri and Fiona clarify that they believe Yor and Loid don't belong together, and decide to make an alliance. After spending a passionate night together they ask "what now?" |

Ménage à 3: While "romantic" is a bit of a stretch, after Yuki and Sonya's disastrous competition for Gary's affection and after they also served as rivals for Zii, the two of them realize that they have more fun with their rivalry and have a long period where they just keep egging each other on for hate-sex. Also used as a quick gag later on. Two opposite-sex coworkers compete over who can take Peggy to bed, which ends when Peggy declares that she wants a threesome. Unfortunately, the second they get into bed the coworkers realize that they loved each other all along and promptly forget about the frustrated Peggy. |

In Cardcaptor Sakura, one of the initial sources of Syaoran's rivalry toward Sakura is that they both have crushes on Yukito. Once Syaoran realizes that he's more attracted to Yukito's moon-based magic than Yukito himself, he starts crushing on Sakura instead, and they end the series as the Official Couple. | |

The Merry Wives of Windsor ends with (among other things) Miss Anne Page giving her two parentally-approved but comically inept suitors the slip and running away with a much more charming (and younger) man. The 21st-century remake The Very Merry Wives of Windsor, Iowa, set just after Iowa's legalization of gay marriage, has young Miss Anne Page coming out as straight and marrying a young man... leaving behind her two (still older, and not quite as inept) lesbian suitors, who seem quite happy with each other. | |

Implied in My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected, in which both Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita are (secretly) in love with Hachiman Hikigaya, but the former has a close friendship with Yukino... too close for many of their close ones, at the point Hachiman once mistook (with a purpose) her last name for "Yurigahama." Subverted when Hachiman and Yukino become a couple. | |
