One of the methods writers use to jumpstart relationships. A variety of Samaritan Relationship Starter. Alice is in a fix. She has tried everything. She doesn't know what to do. When all hope seems lost, Bob comes in at the last minute and rescues Alice, causing Alice to fall in love with him. If done humorously, this is done at the beginning of a series, adding to the Harem. A staged rescue is a common simple plan to get a couple together. Done seriously, this is one of the ways writers get a relationship hampered by Cannot Spit It Out started, as opposed to communication, or heck; they might not have even met or talked to each other previously. A typical setup goes something like this (adjust the details to fit your setting): An agile male character, often the Hero, meeting a female character (Love Interests, etc) by saving them from being hit on by thugs, or older (college) men who seem lecherous. The thugs grab the female by the hand and pull her away to have a "cup of tea" with them, or become violent as she stubbornly rejects their advances (may involve knives). Enter the hero, either hitting the offenders in the arm, or entering the scene by kicking the guy (head, solar plexus, etc), and saving her from forceful romantic advances. (And possibly incurring some injuries, enabling the After Action Patch Up.) Oddly enough some medieval romancers, despite being the reason Damsel in Distress is called that ("damsel" being the diminutive of medieval French for "lady"), actually sometimes didn't like this trope. Basically some of them thought that, since the girl now owed the guy, the resulting romance wasn't pure enough, aesthetically speaking. The various aristocrats who paid their bills mostly told 'em to shut up; part of the ideal of knighthood was being a protector, and who doesn't want to hear about a good deed they could actually do being rewarded with some sweet lovin'? Expect a negative response from some if this chickifies an Action Girl (though this can be almost completely negated by having the couple take turns with the Distress Ball). Nevertheless, the Knight in Shining Armor saving the Damsel in Distress who he then weds and the two living Happily Ever After is at least Older Than Feudalism, going back at least as far as the myth of Perseus and Andromeda. It is a subset of Meet Cute and thus a common subject of fanfic in regards to Shipping. If Rescue Romance is a manly man's reward for being a valiant protector, the Florence Nightingale Effect is a womanly woman's reward for being a caring nurturer. If the rescuee is saved from sexual assault and immediately offers this to their rescuer then they Got Over Rape Instantly. Compare Smooch of Victory, Rescue Sex, Standard Hero Reward, Relationship-Salvaging Disaster, Bodyguard Crush. Contrast A Match Made in Stockholm. See also The Dulcinea Effect. |

Megamind: As a parody of the Superhero genre, Roxanne Richie gets hit with zig-zagging flavors of this. Metro Man is always saving Roxanne, but they never had any romantic relationship at all; he was just "not her type". Megamind is always kidnapping her and trying to impress her, but dates her the old-fashioned way, the two fall in love, and then he ends up saving her at the end. Tighten tries this at Megamind's suggestion, but he's too clueless to realize that dropping Roxanne to her near-death (repeatedly) does not count as a "rescue". Of course, Megamind's advice to invoke the trope was pretty clueless in the first place. |

Subverted in Sword Princess Amaltea. Amaltea thought this was the norm, and of course this being a gender flip of a fairytale, the reader thought too, so she went, slays the dragon, and goes to "rescue" the prince in the tower; but unfortunately for her, Ossian straight out refuses to marry her (she's a stranger after all) and there are subtle hints that Ossian may not have been in distress at all. | |

Spectacular Seven: Defied. Moondancer tries to win the heart of Twilight Sparkle by battling against Scarlet Inferno, the Enemy Without of Sunset Shimmer. However, Twilight is steeped in nerdy culture and sci-fi novels, recognizes what Moondancer is doing, and tries to let her down gently. It's later revealed that the whole thing was set up by Moondancer (since she's The Dragon to the Big Bad) in an attempt to convince Twilight to break up with Sunset, meaning Moondancer invoked the trope before Twilight defied it. | |

Subverted in RWBY which essentially used the two elements without combining them. Pyrrha and Jaune meet for the second time when she saves him from falling to his death, but Jaune correctly assumes that Pyrrha's a nice enough girl that she would have done that for anybody- something the writers confirmed. Pyrrha still falls in love with Jaune anyway, for unrelated reasons. | |

Black Jack Justice: Played in both directions in the relationship between Jack Justice and Dorothy Evans. Dorothy is introduced in "Journey's End", where she finds Jack injured, treats him, and unknowingly endangers him all over again when the help she calls for him is a crooked police precinct whose watch commander is the one who wounded Jack in the first place. Jack tries to protect her from the danger he's brought to her door despite being so concussed he can't move under his power, but by the end of the episode it's Dorothy who saves the day by taking out three dirty cops one by one when they go into the basement Jack had her hide in. Jack's Private Eye Monologue describes her coming out of said basement with fire in her eyes, still armed with the weapons she used, and kissing him. In "The Empty Desk", Jack has been nowhere to be seen in the two weeks since the previous episode, "The Late Mr. Justice". In that episode, Jack rescued Dorothy from an old enemy who had kidnapped her to force Jack to surrender himself to be killed. He's absent for much of "The Empty Desk" itself, appearing only at the end to reveal that, during those two weeks, he and Dorothy married and had been enjoying a honeymoon in the Poconos. |

Hero: The Guardian Smurf: Hero had a relationship with first love Smurfette before his Opposite-Sex Clone Wonder Smurfette came into the picture and the two married each other, eventually giving birth to Hero's first child Saviour. Years later, sometime after Wonder died, Hero came to feel suicidal and was going to end his life when the Smurfs intervened and stopped him from doing so, with Smurfette passionately pleading with Hero to embrace life instead of death. It was from this that Hero rekindled his relationship with Smurfette, and from that, they married and Smurfette became the mother of Hero's second child Miracle. | |

Tokimeki Memorial 1, very surprisingly, has a case of this, but it's a really bizarre one: if you repeatedly phone to Rei Ijuin, the game's Bifauxnen, it will activate various events revolving around her, and in one of them, she'll be kidnapped. You can decide to go to her rescue (and is required if you want to get her Ending), but in a subversion, when you'll arrive at the supposed place where's she captive, the Ijuin Family Army will already have saved her. As usual, she'll give the protagonist some badmouthing for his stupid recklessness, but will still thank him, and apparently starts to like him from this point. Oh, did I forgot to mention that the protagonist, at this point, doesn't know that she's actually a girl, and won't discover this until the end of the game when she'll confess to him on Graduation Day under the Legendary Tree? | |

In Homestuck, this is what Dirk plans on trying to attempt a seduction of Jake. Also occurs in both directions between Sollux and Feferi: He rescues her from the Vast Glub, dying in the process, and she rescues him by kissing him back to life. Eridan tries to invoke this trope by rescuing Nepeta in a similar manner, but as usual, he's unsuccessful. | |

Code:Realize: This is how Cardia meets Lupin in the prologue where he rescues her from the Royal Guard. Similarly, this is also how she meets Victor who jumps in when a group of thugs were intending to hurt her. In Van Helsing's route, when Jack the Ripper captures Cardia and was intending to torture and kill her, Van Helsing manages to find her in a nick of time. The CG shows Cardia looking up at him rather adoringly as he holds her. |

Kind of a theme in True Love Junai Monogatari, where The Protagonist has to rescue several of the girls he can romance from one or another danger. I.e. he meets Arisa when he saves her from drowning, then can either save Remi from her Stalker with a Crush or rescue Mayumi from a Near-Rape Experience (the last one leads to him also winning affection points with his and Mayumi's Hot Teacher Yumi-sensei. And then it's inverted if you make him romance either Chiemi or Yumi: the first saves him from drowning during their swimming competition, the second saves him from a thug... and one that he was trying to protect her from. | |

Cursed Princess Club has a variant with a boy and a girl who already know each other on rather unamiable terrms when the rescue happens. Frederick is intimidated by Gwendolyn (with whom he has an unwanted Arranged Marriage) both due to her freaky, witchlike appearance and because of a misunderstood conversation that made him think she plans to vengefully haunt him. But an incident with a hurtling baton leads to him nearly falling off a cliff, only for an unseen Gwen to run up and grab his arm. Frederick starts thanking his rescuer, but upon realizing who it is (not helped by the strain of holding onto him giving Gwen an accidental Death Glare), he frightfully yells and frantically draws his hand back so quickly that he scratches her palm with his fingernails. She simply grabs him again (this time with one hand now dripping blood) and helps him back onto solid ground. The fact that she saved his life despite him injuring her in the process (as well as the sad look on her face because she knows he did that out of fear of her) convinces Frederick that Gwendolyn, contrary to his initial impressions of her, is a Nice Girl with no hostile intentions toward him. This is the exact point where he stops being afraid of her and starts looking forward to seeing her again. | |

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. James Bond saves Tracy from drowning herself, then bails her out when she loses her money at the casino. At first the trope is subverted; Tracy sleeps with Bond, but presents this as a case of (literally) paying her debts to him even though Bond hasn't asked for Rescue Sex. She does fall in love with Bond, but it's not clear if Bond feels the same until after Tracy turns up to save Bond's life in Switzerland. Just to seal the matter, Tracy is captured and Bond goes rogue to rescue her with the help of her father. Tracy then becomes the only woman that Bond is willing to marry, but we all know what happens next... | |

The comic continuations of Gargoyles featured Lexington and Staghart rescuing each other. The Bad Guys series also featured Dingo rescuing Hunter and her him. Word of God says Hunter and Dingo will be together. Jury's still out on Staghart and Lexington. (But Slash Fic writers can dream....) | |

In the Child Ballad "The Lord of Lorn and the False Steward", the young lord saves his life by promising never to tell that his servant robbed him; the servant turns him into a servant until the daughter of a local lord figures out how to get the story out of him. Whereupon they promptly marry. The gender-swapped counterpart, the Goose Girl, plays out with a similar setup. Eventually, the prince realizes something's up with the new "goose girl" and tricks her into confessing to an iron stove (which he's standing behind) and gets everything solved. In this version, he was supposed to marry the princess anyway and the maid had posed as his fiance, but the rescue element makes it a romance instead of merely a political marriage. |

The New Retcons: This is how John viewed his marriage to Elly, saving her from life as a poor destitute woman and a single mother. It didn't end well. He repeats this reasoning, minus the spoilered part, with Kortney, viewing himself as her savior from a life of prostitution In a more horrifying example, Elly tried to invoke this on Elizabeth and Anthony by arranging the Attempted Rape of Elizabeth just so Anthony can rescue her and they could rekindle their romance. |

Back to the Future: In Back to the Future, Marty tries to set his parents up by engineering a situation where George saves Lorraine from sexual assault (namely, by Marty himself). It goes off the rails when Lorraine is more eager than Marty is, only to be set right when Biff intervenes, genuinely tries to assault Lorraine, and George ends up genuinely saving her by punching Biff out. In Back to the Future Part III, Doc saves Clara from going over a cliff in an out-of-control wagon, belatedly learning that she died in the original timeline and that the ravine would have been named after her. |

Shrek, being an Affectionate Parody of fairy tales, goes to town with this one: Princess Fiona and Shrek meet when he rescues her from a tower and a dragon. She thinks he's supposed to be her Knight in Shining Armor with whom she will share True Love's Kiss until he explains that he's actually an ogre who was just sent there to do the rescuing so Lord Farquaad wouldn't have to. Of course, "Rescue By Proxy Romance" isn't nearly as romantic, and ultimately Fiona and Shrek end up falling in love anyway. | |

A humorous take in Despicable Me 2. At first, Gru is annoyed with Lucy for being very cheerful and enthusiastic when they're partnered together. Not helping him is Agnes asking Lucy if she's single in front of Gru. However, when Gru is forced on a date with a superficial woman who tries to humiliate him for being bald, Lucy uses a tranquilizer dart on her and the two carry her home while bond over failed dates and Lucy complimenting Gru's baldness. By morning, Gru has fallen in love with Lucy. Although he has to rescue her from the Big Bad in the climax, Lucy at that point had already fallen in love with Gru. | |

Cullen and Victoria are already in a fledgling relationship when they attend the ball at Halamshiral in All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird, but the mutual application of this trope helps to move things along for them. First she 'rescues' him from the Orlesian courtiers who have him cornered (which, due to his Dark and Troubled Past, is a bigger favor than it might seem); later, he saves her more literally when she's almost murdered by a Harlequin. | |

Robot Chicken: A sketch features a nerd winning a date with Scarlett Johansson in a contest. When she arrives, she hardly masks her frustration with the situation. Suddenly, a bunch of goons hired by the nerd "attack" the two during the date, allowing the nerd to "chase" them off. She instantly falls in love with him, and we get a Happily Ever After montage of them marrying, having kids, etc. Then we see the nerd at his death bed confessing the ruse to Scarlett who, instead of being outraged, suddenly starts speaking in a man's voice and claiming she's not the real Scarlett Johansson but a (male) impersonator. The revelation causes the nerd to flatline right then and there and "Scarlett" to break down in tears. How did they have kids, you ask? Probably conceived by the Rule of Funny. The show later subverts the trope when Link rescues Princess Zelda. He expects a kiss, but the princess rejects him because they only just met; apparently she gets kidnapped and saved all the time, and after sexing up the first hero to save her she stopped. |

Fate/stay night: In the Fate route and anime Saber saves Shirou from Lancer, Shirou saves Saber from Berserker, Saber saves Shirou from Rider twice, Saber attempts to save Shirou from Illya, Shirou saves Saber from Berserker again, Shirou saves Saber from Gilgamesh, Lancer saves the both of them(!?), and by that point, Shirou and Saber are hopelessly infatuated with each other. Apparently, winning the affections of Saber will only cost you about 18 gallons of blood. A villainous example would be Caster (Medea) and Kuzuki Souichirou. She was suffering from lacking access to a mana source and was about to die when she met the former; he took her in, agreed to form a contract with her, and even introduced her to others as his fiancée. As a result, Caster becomes hopelessly devoted to and starts a strange romance with him. This is also how Shirou first met Sakura. He saved her from bullies when they were children and then were properly introduced to each other later by Shinji. Kid Sakura had actually fallen for Shirou before this point watching him from afar perform a seemingly impossible task until he succeeded. Humorously, the same event similarly caught a young Rin's attention. |

Discussed, and later lampshaded, in Speed. Annie tells Jack, "Relationships based on extreme circumstances rarely work." It also features one of the best bond one-liners when the line is echoed back later by Jack, and she responds, "Then we'll have to base it on sex." Judging by her new beau in the sequel, though, it seems the sex must not have been all that great. Wah-wah-wah-waaaaaaaaahhhhhh... | |

Danny Phantom: The first time Paulina is rescued, she acknowledges that Danny is a good ghost (in a town then on Untrusting Community levels), but it was his second rescue that Paulina had fallen madly in love with Danny Phantom. Although, this turns into a case of Loves My Alter Ego. They actually never get together. Deconstructed in "Masters of All Time"; In the alternate timeline, Vlad saved Maddie from the malfunctioning portal, earning her affection, eventually marrying. However, Vlad is overly controlling and possessive of Maddie, even having forbidden her from pursuing ghost hunting, and had lied to her, saying that Jack (who had suffered the ecto-acne accident in this timeline), didn't want anything to do with her. Maddie, unwilling to give up her life's work, resorted to ghost-hunting behind his back, clearly resenting him for it. Whether she felt obligated to marry him out of gratitude or simply overestimated his character based on that one seemingly noble act, rescue was clearly not good enough grounds for a lasting romance. |

El Goonish Shive: Justin falls in love with Elliot after being saved from bullies (slightly late, but that's beside the point). Unfortunately for Justin, who is pretty much a Woobie, Elliot doesn't swing that way. Later, Catalina rescues Rhoda from a wild boar by scaring it away with a camera flash. Needless to say, they end up together almost immediately. |

Zigzagged in Jasper in Deadland. When Jasper risks losing his life and his memories in order to save his "friend" Agnes from Deadland, it seems like the obvious prelude to a Relationship Upgrade, only for something to halt the rescue or the relationship before it begins: When Jasper and Agnes reunite for the first time, and Agnes regains the memories she lost, she excitedly proclaims that she knew Jasper loved her.. but the first words out of his mouth are "I'm sorry, I don't love you". It turns out his last memories have been erased, so he no longer remembers that he loves her. Later, when Agnes rescues Jasper from Mister Lethe, and regain more of their memories, the two finally kiss. However, once more memories start to flood in, Agnes remembers how traumatic both of their lives were, and tells Jasper that they should stay in Deadland and give up their memories again, even if it means forgetting each other. |

"Tam Lin" features a woman, Janet, who is mysteriously impregnated by an elven knight who claims the virginity of any maiden who wanders his fields. She refuses to forsake him and discovers he was once a mortal man rescued and captured by the faeries and is soon to be tithed to hell for the Queen. Janet rescues him from this fate by clinging to him as he is transformed into any number of beasts. When he turns into a burning coal, she throws him into a well, which turns him back into a man, and she must hide him. For all of this effort, she wins his freedom from the faerie queen. | |

Minutes later, she nurses him when he collapses of exhaustion and pain, then builds him a new armor/exoskeleton. Hordak falls so deeply in love with her that his feelings remain even after Horde Prime wipes his mind out TWICE. He eventually shoots Prime to save Entrapta's life. | |

A male example of a rescuee is the prince in "The Little Mermaid". But the trope is subverted in the original Hans Christian Andersen version, the prince never knew that the mermaid had saved him and, while he showed concern for her well-being, wasn't in love with her — he fell in love with the girl from the temple who found him on the beach (who he thought rescued him and, in some versions, is his betrothed), and the real heroine ends up heartbroken. Disney's animated The Little Mermaid however, doubly subverts it, thus playing the trope straight and giving the story a Happy Ending. | |

Relic Of The Future: Deconstructed. In the original timeline, Jaune and Weiss apparently got together shortly after the Battle of Haven because of Jaune saving her life with his healing Semblance after Cinder impaled her. Unfortunately, as a result, the entire foundation of that relationship was that Weiss believed she owed it to Jaune out of gratitude for saving her, and such a terrible foundation meant that it didn't last long for them. They broke up amicably with the agreement that they'd give the relationship a second shot after Salem was defeated — they never did get that chance. | |

Discussed in Fire Emblem: Awakening fanfic Pretender, when Lissa tells Chrom she believes that Frederick and Robin are a couple. Chrom tries to be happy for them but he knows that they got closer because Frederick rescued Robin from committing suicide. He is squicked by the possibility that Frederick may have pressured Robin into a relationship while the latter was emotionally vulnerable. To Frederick's credit, he freaks out when Chrom brings it up, showing that he is aware of the implications. Nevertheless, Frederick and Robin do become romantically involved for a while. | |

In Dante's route, he stops Orlok from taking Lili away in the prologue, prevents Yang from kidnapping her and later on, bargains with Gilbert to return her to him. By the third rescue, Lili was already in love with Dante. In the beginning of Nicola's route, Lili and Elena were about to be kidnapped by some Lao Shu members when Nicola and Orlok stop them. In Yang's route, when Lee, as an act of rebellion against Yang, kidnaps Lili, Yang manages to arrive in a nick of time to stop Lee from doing anything to Lili. This act starts to endear Lili to Yang as it shows he does care for her even if he wouldn't admit it. |

A very twisted villainous version from the pages of Captain America. Sin, the Red Skull’s daughter was captured by SHIELD and held in a facility where she was subjected to Heel–Face Brainwashing to turn her into a normal, well-adjusted All American girl. Skull’s Dragon Crossbones fought his way into the facility, abducted her and fought his way back out (killing dozens of Red Shirts in the process), then imprisoned and tortured her until her true memories and personality were restored. Then they fell in love. To an outside observer, this was all horrifying but from their perspective, he had rescued her from enemy captivity and freed her from nefarious mind control. | |
