* ''ComicBook/WarlordOfMars'' had a variation where ''[[VillainousCrush a villain]]'' [[VillainousCrush did this to a heroine]] when [[TheBrute Thurid]] declared his love to [[DamselInDistress Dejah Thoris]] and offered her to escape with him, to flee as far away from his other associates. Needless to say, [[DamselOutOfDistress Dejah]] wasn't impressed by it and [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapped him in disgust]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Pathfinder|DynamiteComics}}'': Kyra falls fast and hard for Merisiel and works up the courage to make a LoveConfession after the elf is wounded by the black dragon in issue 9.
-->'''Merisiel:''' Kyra, why are you crying?\\
'''Kyra:''' I... I feel quite ''blessed'' to be part of this group, Merisiel. I was not expecting to travel with others or share their company. But ''you''... your quick wit and your whimsical ways... When I thought you'd been killed by the dragon, I... Something just... ''broke'' inside me. I... didn't want to be here without ''you''. In that moment... I couldn't bear it. I needed to ''save'' you, to ''protect'' you. I couldn't fail you or see you snuffed out from my life... So ''selfish''... The intensity of that scares me. The emotions are too ''raw''. I'm not a young girl who should be infaturated with another in such ways. It isn't fair to you... or fair to me. How would I even--\\
'''Merisiel:''' ''(ShutUpKiss)'' Don't cry anymore. These thoughts and feelings are beautiful. I care for you too, Kyra. I want us to be together.

Through telepathy, Cutter connects himself and Zhantee to the faraway Leetah, and the three share a powerful romantic and sexual bonding for a few brief moments… [[spoiler: until Zhantee dies in Cutter's arms.]]
