* In ''[[WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk Dragons: Race to the Edge]]'', Hiccup and Astrid's relationship is launched in the episode "Blindsided". The TV series was bridging the gap between the films ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' and ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', and thus the episode "Blindsided" shows how Hiccup and Astrid got into the relationship they are shown to be in during the second film.

* The writers and actors of ''Series/{{Castle}}'' didn't even try to hide the fact that Kate Beckett and Richard Castle were eventually going to become a couple; the tension (which was arguably the primary driving force behind the show) was in seeing how. [[spoiler:As of season four's finale, "Always", it finally happened where Castle proclaims his feelings for Beckett and she returns them at the end of the episode. Season five has them secretly dating (even though EverybodyKnewAlready, which does eventually end up out in the open) and the season ends with Castle's proposal. Season six has them working together as an engaged couple planning their wedding, which is set to happen at the end of season six... but things go awry when Castle vanishes on the way to the wedding. However, he turns up in the season seven premiere, and they eventually wed early in the season ("The Time of Our Lives") to become a crime fighting husband and wife team]].

** [[spoiler: Or not. In ''Literature/BattleGround2020'' Murphy dies in battle, and is selected as a Valkyrie. Which has the side effect that she won't return as a Valkyrie until no-one on Earth remembers her. Also, thanks to some careless words by Lara Raith, Mab ends up forcibly engaging her to Harry. Only Molly's intervention keeps it from being an immediate wedding. Instead Harry has a year to mourn Karin and they both have that time to prepare and get comfortable with it.]]

* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': Tim and Steph have a sort of flirting relationship in their masked identities which Tim sort of tries to discourage since he already had a girlfriend at the time and knew he'd never get Batman's permission to tell Steph his secret identity. After she saves his life and he kisses her in thanks he quickly goes to end his already failed relationship with Ari (though she breaks up with him before he can get the words out) and informs Steph that any relationship they were to have would have to stick to their costumed ids. When Steph makes it clear this isn't an issue for her they quickly upgrade to official status, and start going on dates in costume.
