She blinked at him. "Said what?"\\
"'I love you.'"\\
Asuka stared blankly at him for a second before it sank in. Her eyes widened. "Well… scheiße…" she said eventually. "So much for talking about it tonight in more romantic surroundings. When I said 'right before a battle isn't exactly how or where I want to talk about this', I did mean it."\\

* ''Fanfic/CrossoverChaos'' has quite a few examples. Killer and Beetle become this after they get paired up in v1, as well as Kyle and Lindsay once they join C.H.A.O.S early in Agents of C.H.A.O.S.
* Khan and his lover, Victoria, are this in the ''Film/StarTrek'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9694363/1/Safe-and-Sound Safe and Sound]]''. During the Eugenics Wars they apparently marched into the Taj Mahal, and after the ensuing battle (during which Victoria killed thirty armed guards with her bare hands while saving Khan from them; it's not mentioned how many Khan killed) they marched back out again having claimed the building as theirs.
* ''Fanfic/LifeAfterHayate'' explains that this is a family tradition with the Harlaowns, to the point you are not considered acceptable dating material unless you've partnered with your desired date in combat. It's not ''necessary'' to fight directly alongside them, but close dependency in a combat situation is absolutely non-negotiable: Amy Linetta was allowed to date Chrono because she had been his "[[MissionControl angel on the shoulder]]" as ''Arthra'''s combat controller. Lindy and Clyde supposedly met on the bridge of a warship in action; Chrono's grandmother and grandfather met when their units were assigned to the same battle. Chrono expresses relief that Fate is interested in Nanoha because she already meets the standard.
* Whenever Vinyl Scratch and Octavia get into a fight in FanFic/TheVinylAndOctaviaSeries, you can bet that they'll be fighting side-by-side.
* ''FanFic/CrownsOfTheKingdom'':
** Donald and Daisy combine this trope with DanceBattler in the jungle concert scene.
** Cinderella and Prince Charming do this as well, teaming up to rescue the Disney Princes.
* In chapter seven of ''Fanfic/BaitAndSwitchSTO'' a pair of junior officers from the USS ''Bajor's'' security department, Lieutenant (JG) K'lak and Ensign Kate [=McMillan=], go on an away mission with Eleya and act as a sniper and TargetSpotter respectively. In the next chapter Eleya catches them meeting up in Ten Forward, and [=McMillan=] gives K'lak "a peck on the cheek that looks a lot more than just friendly." Eleya alludes to moving [=McMillan=] to a different supervisor.
%%* ''FanFic/MegamiNoHanabira'': Mai and Reo, and Yuuna and Nanami. Sara has a girlfriend as well: Kaede, but she’s not a part of the team at the moment.
* In the ''FanFic/FacingTheFutureSeries'', Danny and Sam have become this following Sam gaining ghost powers.
* Petra and Brynjolf in ''FanFic/{{Draknophobia}}'' though prone to splitting apart, there are times where they really work well together, before and after they actually get into a relationship. And [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind The Nerevarine]]]] fights alongside Older!Ayisha often as well, as warrior and mage respectively.
* In ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fic ''Fanfic/WhyandWere'', Assassin Johanna Smith-Rhodes provides the muscle and fighting ability; wizard Ponder Stibbons is the magical half of the relationship. It is established over several stories, especially in ''Fanfic/SlippingBetweenWorlds'', that she would kill for him and he would put his life on the line for her.
* Sam/Jessica in all parts of the crossoverfic of ''Supernatural'' and ''The Matrix'' ''Fanfic/HuntingSeries''
** The threesome of Neo/Dean/Smith who hunt the 'supernatural' programs and such that inhabit The Matrix.
* Kim and Shego in the ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' fanfic ''Fanfic/AtTheCenterfoldOfTheStorm''. Unlike in most [[PortmanteauCoupleName Kigo]] fics that focus on the two settling down and starting a family, Kim and Shego decide to continue in the [[BadassGay Secret Agent/Super Hero]] line of work, such as battling volcanoes, fighting HumongousMecha on foot and taking on the entire criminal underworld.
* Red Ranger Sean O'Callahan and Yellow Ranger Maria Aparicio of ''FanFic/PowerRangersGPX'' fit this bill once they start dating. They even get the occasional BackToBackBadasses moments.
* Although they're very much one in canon already, it shows with Han and Leia in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' fic ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7034896/1/ The Princess And The Pirate]]''. Han, Leia and Luke have ended up captured. Han's already been dragged off and severely beaten once. He's got assorted fractures, bruises, internal injuries and a high fever. But the moment some of the guards start turning their attention to Leia, Han's on his feet, giving them a DeathGlare and warning them that they're dead if they touch her. They do realize that he means business, even in his condition. Later, when they try dragging Han off again, Leia unleashes on them with Force power, because there's no way she's going to let her husband get tortured some more.
* In the Infinite Stratos fanfic, ''FanFic/InfiniteStratosToTheOtherEndOfTheWorld'', there are quite some battle couples. Hackers are trained as BashBrothers, but in later chapters, the hackers discover they can work pretty well with Infinite Stratos pilots as well. An example that is most prominent are Kerlongsj and Chifuyu fight [[BackToBackBadass as one]] and they take out an entire army with just the two of them. Due to their history, they're quite good at it, despite the huge difference in style, weapons and special powers.
* ''Fanfic/{{Atonement}}'':
** Battery and Assault, two veteran superheroes, are married.
** Main character and rookie hero Tether and her girlfriend Sundancer after the latter joins the Protectorate.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Wonderful}}'', Gallant and Glory Girl are a couple and members of the same super-heroic team. He's an empath and she a FlyingBrick.
* [[Characters/MetroidSamusAran Samus Aran]] and [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Mitsuzane Kureshima]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11772125/1/Metroid-Kamen-Rider-Generations-Full-Series Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations]]'' - Intergalactic bounty hunter and Armored/New Generation Rider.
* Asuka and Shinji in ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'' are a couple and when they're together, they fight better and harder. When [[EldritchAbomination Samael]] fought both, it defeated Asuka, but when it was about to crush Shinji, Asuka went berserker and killed Samael. They also fought [[spoiler:the MP-Evas and the final HumanoidAbomination]] back-to-back.
* ''Fanfic/BloodAndHonor'': Sanguis and Quinn, though they go back and forth on the "couple" part for about half the story due to Quinn's personal issues. Eventually they end up together on and off the battlefield. Sanguis typically gets in close with her lightsabers to take out the biggest threat while Quinn uses his brains and blaster to wreak havoc from a distance.
* ''FanFic/TheBridge'' gives us, after a half dozen RelationshipUpgrade moments to go from enemies to friends to OfficialCouple, [[spoiler: Aria Blaze and Monster X when they have the final confrontation with Enjin]]. Bonus points for the story's first OfficialKiss happening right after they won.
* Both of the main couples in ''[[Fanfic/TwiceUponAnAge All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird]]'' do this a couple of times.
* In ''Fanfic/NeonMetathesisEvangelion , that is Asuka ''and Rei''. Not so much Shinji. Shinji never moves past his loathing for piloting and would prefer to just stay the TeamChef and the [[OneTrueThreesome triad's]] moral support.

* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10223400/1/To-Love-DEATH To-Love-Death]] has Rito and Yui fighting to survive against a zombie invasion. In its sequel, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11591414/1/To-Love-CARNAGE To-Love-Carnage]] they get even.
* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Shinji y Asuka. Their numerous battles together in the past are mentioned. Moreover, Asuka's new HumongousMecha is a two-seater, allowing Shinji and Asuka sitting together in the cockpit.
-->''He smiled at her in the comm window. "You said it, Asuka. You finally said it."\\
She blinked at him. "Said what?"\\
"'I love you.'"\\
Asuka stared blankly at him for a second before it sank in. Her eyes widened. "Well… scheiße…" she said eventually. "So much for talking about it tonight in more romantic surroundings. When I said 'right before a battle isn't exactly how or where I want to talk about this', I did mean it."\\
Shinji's smile got bigger. "Somehow, right before a battle for our lives seems fitting for us."''
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': [[TheHero Shinji]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Asuka]], natch. And given the nature of Evas, they're not merely more competent as a result, but more powerful as well.
* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': It took a good while for them to open up to each other, but Shinji and Asuka got together and kept fighting giant monsters together. In chapter 3 it is not until Asuka rushes in the battlefield that the team gains the upper hand. In chapter 7 she does not fight directly due to her pregnancy, but she provides tactical support. After giving birth she and Shinji fight in tandem.
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': Shinji and Asuka got together during the story. They fight {{Eldritch Abomination}}s of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos using their super robots... or power stolen from other eldritch abominations they killed previously.
* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': After returning to the past Shinji, Asuka and Rei agreed to share each other. Whenever any of them are fighting together they are acting as a battle couple. In their first engagements, Shinji and Rei took Shamshel down and Asuka and Rei blew Ramiel to smithereens.
* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'':
** Shinji and Asuka (reinforced since their [[spoiler:engagement]]). Misato even commented that both are hyper-aggressive.
** Kaworu and Saburo when they were dating.
* ''Fanfic/GhostsOfEvangelion'': Shinji and Asuka are one during the War. Thirty years after the conflict their experience fighting together still helps them beat games together.
* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': Shinji and Asuka, although due to Unit 02 getting repaired they are not seen battling in tandem until [[spoiler:the FinalBattle when they sortie together to fight the SEELE forces]].
* ''Fanfic/HigherLearning'': As their relationship strengthens throughout the story, Shinji and Asuka become an efficient fighting duo.
* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Shinji and Asuka. He is ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. She is [[spoiler:''Franchise/WonderWoman'']]. And their enemies are ''screwed''.
* ''[[Fanfic/LegacySeries Legacy]]'': Thea and Roy become one of these in this {{Series/Arrow}} NextGenFic . When they suited up as the Arrow and Canary 2.0, witnesses said watching them fight was "like watching the principal dancers of the Moscow ballet."
* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': Asuka and Shinji started on the path to becoming one as of battling the Sixth and Seventh Angel. They fought together and performed spectacularly.
-->Not that Shinji could begrudge Asuka her grand entrance. Perhaps she hadn't exactly covered herself in glory today… but by the same token; he couldn't have done it without her. Not for the first time, he smiled slightly at that thought, working side by side with her again; Asuka the burning sword, Asuka the raging, unquenchable firestorm-
* ''Fanfic/TheOneILoveIs'': Shinji and Asuka. Due to living, working and fighting together, they started to like each other and became extremely close. This closeness kicks the plot off when Rei realizes Shinji is falling for Asuka and decides to pursue him actively.
* ''Fanfic/ScarTissue'': Shinji and Asuka. During the Angel War they battled giant alien monsters together despite of their fights and arguments. In chapter 17 Asuka's HumongousMecha is modified so that Shinji and she can pilot in tandem and fight together. Shinji also tells her he will not leave her to fight alone again.
* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'': Shinji and Asuka, even more than in the original series now that they are serious about fighting, have gotten over their crippling psychological and emotional problems, and want to support and help each other. It even is noted by [[spoiler:Kaworu]].
** In the [[spoiler:second-to-last]] episode:
-->'''Asuka (to Shinji):''' I'll handle them. These guys aren't the real problem after all. Just take care of my cable, okay?\\
'''Shinji (smiling weakly and nodding):''' Of course.
** And later in the same episode:
-->[[spoiler:'''General:''']] Concentrate all fire on that power cable!\\
[[spoiler:'''Comm-Officer''':]] It's no use, Sir! Purple's guarding it!
* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Shinji and Asuka till [[spoiler:Asuka got taken out of the roster of active pilots]]. Until that moment they had fought many battles together against {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.
* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': [[AntiHero Shinji]] and [[TheBerserker Asuka]] began to strongly bond when Shinji told Asuka that they should fight together to destroy their enemies. From that point they became partners-in-battle and shortly after they got together. The results were bloody for their enemies.

%%** By the end of the third story, [[BetaCouple Dib and Tak]] also achieve this status.
%%* Joachim Hoch and Hanala Jarva vas Devoas from the {{Fanfic/Uplifted}} series. John Shepard and Tali Zorah as well. Ironically, it is Hoch (a disenchanted SS Officer) who tends to be the more restrained one.
%%* Rourke O'Donnell and Terrany [=McCloud=] of ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3780019/4/Starfox-Sunrise-Over-Lylat Sunrise Over Lylat]]'' qualify as this. Terrany's deceased grandparents Fox and Krystal also qualify.
* ''[[FanFic/FriendshipIsMagicTheAdventuresOfSpike Friendship is Magic: The Adventures of Spike]]'': Soarin' and Spitfire are one, as shown during the changeling invasion.
* ''Fanfic/FateStayNightUltimateMaster'': Ben and Avenger, while not romantically involved, fit this trope in every other aspect: they are of opposite gender, they both kick ass of their own pretty well (to illustrate: Ben is an [[AlienTropes Alien]] [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Shapeshifter]] SuperHero, Avenger is a magically summoned and enhanced JeanneDArchetype), and they are both ''very'' protective of each other. Also, they ''do'' get some ShipTease.

(One of the few good things to come out of Discord's reign was Spike reaching his adult age in Rarity's lifetime.)
** Cadance and Shining Armor are naturally this trope, as in canon.
** Gag and Garnet have their moments, but since they're in a unit, it isn't as noticeable as other examples.
** During the FinalBattle of the Age of Myths (G1), Katrina and Rep (now HappilyMarried) are one of these when GondorCallsForAid. [[spoiler:They kill Ashley, one of Hydia's dangerous family, by [[DisneyVillainDeath sending her falling to her death]] with a FastBallSpecial.]]
%%* FanFic/AGrowingAffection has Naruto and Hinata as one for books 2 thru 4. There are other combat capable duos in the story, but most of them don't get enough screen time to qualify.
%%* Sean O'Callahan and Maria Aparicio in ''FanFic/PowerRangersGPX''.
* ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'': Near the end of the 44th [[Literature/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]], [[spoiler:Vale and Obsidian]] become one of these. Although the latter doesn't want the former to be put in harm's way, she does manage to save his life at least once.

* ''Fanfic/LifeAfterHayate'' explains that this is a family tradition with the Harlaowns, to the point you are not considered acceptable dating material unless you've partnered with your desired date in combat. It's not ''necessary'' to fight directly alongside them, but close dependency in a combat situation is absolutely non-negotiable: Amy Linetta was allowed to date Chrono because she had been his "[[MissionControl angel on the shoulder]]" as ''Arthra'''s combat controller. Lindy and Clyde supposedly met on the bridge of a warship in action; Chrono's grandmother and grandfather met when their units were assigned to the same battle.

In the next chapter Eleya catches them meeting up in Ten Forward, and [=McMillan=] gives K'lak "a peck on the cheek that looks a lot more than just friendly." Eleya alludes to moving [=McMillan=] to a different supervisor.

* Petra and Brynjolf in ''FanFic/{{Draknophobia}}'' though prone to splitting apart, there are times where they really work well together, before and after they actually get into a relationship.

* In ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fic ''Fanfic/WhyandWere'', Assassin Johanna Smith-Rhodes provides the muscle and fighting ability; wizard Ponder Stibbons is the magical half of the relationship.
