A grenade, bomb or other type of explosive is live with mere seconds to go, leaving Alice in danger. Or perhaps the building is burning, and a rafter comes loose. Or a window or glass ceiling shatters, and Alice is right in the path of the deadly shards. Just in time, Bob leaps between her and the danger. He might get on top of her to shield her from falling debris, or he might simply cradle her with his body blocking the danger. Often a Heroic Sacrifice, but it's just as often that Bob has Nigh-Invulnerability, or maybe the damage is made less by his actions. Usually the Inversion of Jumping on a Grenade, which is when Bob jumps on a grenade to dampen the explosion. See also Taking the Bullet, for when Bob jumps in the way of a bullet meant for Alice, or Diving Save, for when Bob pushes Alice out of the way of something dangerous. Compare Load-Bearing Hero. |

Boss Battle | |
| Tuck and Cover / int_1e14ea2a | comment |
Nolan of the Ashtown Burials series does this for Cyrus in the climactic battle at the end of Empire of Bones, covering for the sharp-edged debris from a gigantic exploding statue. Cyrus escapes with a few cuts from the high-speed shrapnel, while Nolan is shredded. Good Thing He Can Heal. An earlier plan of attack involves the Captain and Nolan, as the two immortal party members, doing this deliberately to cover the rest of the team as they advance. Nolan sulks because not dying doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. |

HeelRealisation | |
| Tuck and Cover / int_899f4b24 | comment |
In the manga, Angelica dies in hospital after taking a carbomb blast for Marco, who has a Heel Realisation after discovering the extent of her injuries, as he'd been so relieved that he didn't lose his sight in the blast he never bothered to inquire about his Made of Iron cyborg. | |

Crush Blush | |
| Tuck and Cover / int_de0db2aa | comment |
In the anime Il Teatrino, Triela shields Hilshire from a Bouncing Betty mine (and gets the obligatory Crush Blush on realising she's lying on top of him). | |

The Jinx | |
| Tuck and Cover / int_e58dd5 | comment |
While fleeing from an crashing airship at the end of "Nihilus", Qrow notices a nearby civilian trip and struggle to get back up. Believing his Semblance to be responsible for her tripping, Qrow abandons his own attempt to flee and stays behind to use his body to shield hers from the explosion cause by the airship crashing into Beacon's courtyard. This gets cruelly subverted two chapters later, where it turns out that the civilian still died the moment the blast impacted her body and all Qrow accomplishes is getting himself fatally wounded as well. | |
