History Main / AMagicContractComesWithAKiss

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'': It is standard procedure for a wizard to kiss their familar immediately after summoning them to seal the contract. Most of these familiars are non-human and so there is no romantic subtext. However, Louise is a void mage and they always summon human familiars, which leads to awkwardness when Saito appears in the summoning circle. FridgeLogic sets in when later, the settings' '''Pope''' is confirmed to be a void mage, and he has a male familiar. Since nobody really mentions any other way to seal the contract, this particular sealing kiss was probably laden with HoYay.

** Parodied mercilessly when it's discovered that Bobby [[NoYay made a deal with Crowley]], a demon who's been helping them. When Sam asks if they kissed, Bobby denies it, at which point Crowley clears his throat and shows the latest picture on his camera.

This is a subtrope of MagicKiss.

* When Diablo is first summoned in ''LightNovel/HowNotToSummonADemonLord'', Rem and Shera each kiss him on a cheek, which seems to be part of their failed enslaving ritual.

* Accepting a contract of this nature forms the climax of ''Literature/{{Pale}}'''s prologue chapter: Matthew, needing to retain [[{{Muggles}} Louise]] as a witness to a murder, but not wishing to see her harmed by the normal mechanics of TheMasquerade, kisses her to lock away the memories of the event ([[EasyAmnesia until such time as they can send someone to take her statement]]). In the process, he takes away some of her debilitating health problems, the better to ensure that she survives ''to'' give her statement.

* ''LightNovel/AmagiBrilliantPark'': Royalty of magical worlds have this as their power. Seiya gets the power to read anyone's mind, with the limit of one use per person.
* {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''Literature/DateALive''. If Shido kisses a [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent Spirit]] he [[BroughtDownToNormal seals]] their [[PersonOfMassDestruction powers]], which cause them to be [[BreakTheCutie hunted just for existing]]. Him, and his organization do end up protecting them and help them [[FishOutOfWater live in the world]].

There are zero romantic connotations, only one immense magical superstructure absorbing another.
-->''Seventy-thousand-page contracts sitting in the RKC archives erupted with unearthly light. Blood signatures burned into reality; silver glyphs appeared on stone circles and obelisks throughout Dresediel Lex and in cities around the world, as if etched in an instant by giants with diamond chisels. The pacts built by hundreds of Craftsmen over thousands of billable hours were loose strands of rope, and the kiss one pull tightening them to a knot.''

* ''Fanfic/TheGreatestOfThemAll'': Death solidifies Peter's status as her Champion by giving him a deep kiss. She implies that she didn't have to do it that way, but did so because [[ItAmusedMe it was amusing]] and to tick off Thanos, who was watching the whole thing (alongside others).

* In ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', Jareth's tells Goggle that he'll make him a prince if Sarah ever kisses him. When Hoggle expressed interest, Jareth's says "Prince of the Land of Stench".
