History Main / SuccubusInLove

* ''VideoGame/PathfinderWrathOfTheRighteous'': Arueshalae (see the tabletop section) is a potential party member and romantic partner. Much of Arueshalae's romance is given to her conflicting feelings over the Commander and whether what she is feeling is 'love' or her instincts as a Succubus to own and dominate the Commander trying to assert themselves.

* ''Literature/MonsterHunterInternational'' While on the run, [[AscendedDemon Agent Franks]] is helped out by a succubus who is into him enough to risk her exemption in Monster Hunter Nemesis.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': The Linear Guild has Nale and Sabine, a Lawful Evil human and a succubus. The two are actually very committed to each other, even though Sabine, as a literal incarnation of illicit sex, finds it normal to have sex with four other partners while out on a three-hour errand.

* ''Literature/FelixCastor'': In the first book, the succubus named Ajulutsikael adopts the human name "Juliet" and eventually finds domestic partnership with a woman. Felix observes that while Juliet's love is not exactly the same as a human's, her commitment to Susan appears genuine.

An evil succubus might even become [[LoveRedeems redeemed by the act of falling in love]]. But if the evil succubus' affections are ''not'' reciprocated, she might become an AbhorrentAdmirer, EntitledToHaveYou, StalkerWithACrush, or even turn into a VillainessesWantHeroes situation.

* ''[[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/bromodachis/list?title_no=517873 Bromodachis]]'' features an Incubus named Sky falling in love with a human man named Keith. While their relationship is mostly a typical Romantic Comedy set up, [[https://www.deviantart.com/seyumei/art/Bromodachis-The-Nightmare-894111082 one comic]] reveals that Sky secretly fears that he might succumb to his instincts and kill Keith (though Keith assured him that these fears are unfounded).

* In ''LightNovel/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'', there's Mayu Tsukimura, a succubus who is afraid of men but whose charm powers are always on. She is part of a love triangle for Shungo who is able to partially resist Mayu's charm.
* ''Literature/{{Overlord|2012}}'': This trope is examined thoroughly within the characterization of Albedo, the closest thing it has to a female lead. When she was a videogame NPC, Albedo was designed as a succubus with an outwardly composed, ladylike, and gentle demeanor but with a secretly selfish and impulsive side, with the very last line of her character description being that she is "[[ReallyGetsAround quite a slut]]". However, as a joke, the VillainProtagonist Momonga rewrote that last line to read "She is deeply in love with Momonga", and after she and the other characters of Nazarick became real, that description became hard-coded into her personality. Though she is a succubus, she is also a virgin because she doesn't want any other man except Momonga (who changes his name to that of his guild "Ainz Ooal Gown" in the hopes that his partners from the game will find him). Unfortunately for her, Ainz [[EmotionSuppression has his emotions suppressed by his undead avatar]], meaning that he cannot and will not reciprocate her feelings or satisfy her urges. This leaves her deeply frustrated, although she has no choice but to accept and repress these feelings. In later volumes, it becomes clear that her repressed and lingering feelings for Momonga are actually more of a problem than anyone realizes; notably, the description states that she is in love with ''Momonga'', meaning that she is actually unhappy that he has changed his name. It's thus hinted that she is secretly attempting to locate and assassinate any former members of Ainz Ooal Gown both so that "Ainz" will have no threats to his power and also so that he will have no reason to continue to go by that name and return to being her beloved "Momonga".

An evil succubus might even become [[LoveRedeems redeemed by the act of falling in love]]. But if the evil succubus affections are ''not'' reciprocated, she might become an AbhorrentAdmirer, EntitledToHaveYou, StalkerWithACrush, or even turn into a VillainessesWantHeroes situation.

* ''Series/LostGirl ''features bisexual succubus Bo Dennis as its protagonist, who spent the last ten years of her life on the run because she kept accidentally [[CartwrightCurse killing her sex partners due to lack of any control over her powers]]. She eventually learns to control these powers through her relationships with Lauren, a doctor who studies fae, and Dyson, a wolf shifter, both of whom she falls in love with.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' manga ''Vampire Savior: Tamashii no Mayoigo'' [[note]]''Vampire Savior: The Soul's Lost Child''[[/note]] has Lilith Aensland befriending a human CanonForeigner named John Stately, whom she falls for after he was treating her kindly despite knowing what she is.

-> '''Catherine:''' Maybe I'll skip out on work today...\\

-->-- ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'', "True Chaos" Ending

* ''Manga/MyBalls'' centers around Satou Kouta whose balls contain The Queen of Terror and the {{Horny Devil}}s trying to free her. One of those devils is Elyse who [[spoiler:performs a HeelFaceTurn after falling for Satou]].

* ''Fanfic/TheresMoreMagicOutThere'': [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Aurore Beauréal]] is a succubus, though her HornyDevil abilities have given her confidence issues. She enters in a relationship with [[ChangelingTale Fey changing]] Sabrina Raincomprix, who is asexual and loves Aurore in a purely emotional capacity.

What do you get when you have a [[HornyDevil being of pure carnal desire]] navigate romance without sex? You get this trope.

Often, demons such as succubi, incubi and other creatures associated with {{Lust}} have a culture of sex. Feeding, mating, and bonding are reliant on the act, so in terms of intimacy this is all that they know. Now, take that same being, and throw them into a situation where ''romantic'' love comes into play--suddenly they're thrown out of their element and are left [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove scrambling to understand how sheepish and awkward they've become in relation to their mark]].

Oftentimes, this may be the result of the person being [[ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou immune to the charm effects most succubi possess]]. In this case, they have to work much harder to get their target and in the process, actually fall in love with them.

If the work is more explicit, it can be a case of BiggerIsBetterInBed. Though, with the latter, it might be more in love with the endowment than the person themself. Subtrope of InterspeciesRomance.

* ''I Brought Home A Succubus Who Failed To Find A Job'' has Nono, who is seen as a failure of a succubus since she is unable to charm men. She ends up getting taken in by Yuuki and the two end up falling in love. This actually causes Nono to charm Yuuki once they confess. Later it's revealed that succubi were originally creatures of love that only chose one person to be with. There is a more explicit version of the story which doubles as GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex.

* ''Monster Girl Encyclopedia'' has a [[UpToEleven species-wide]] example of this. Monsters in the setting are all {{Cute Monster Girl}}s who want to fall in love with a man and have lots of sex with him. They used to be conventional, predatory monsters, but in the past a succubus managed to become Demon Lord and infused her energy into all other monsters, changing them into their current forms.
