In fiction, characters face romantic challenges or break new ground on episodes that revolve around Valentine's Day. A Valentine's Day Episode plot typically centers around hooking up, or with struggling to find the right gift, or with someone ([[DoubleStandard usually the man]], usually on some kind of comedy) forgetting about the holiday and struggling to find a suitable gift. On the other hand, someone who finds themselves AloneAmongTheCouples may be serving up the ValentinesDayVitriol. ValentinesDayViolence might also pop up if action and/or horror themed elements would spice up the holiday. You'll typically find the resident BigEater chowing down on Valentine's Day candy, maybe even accidentally eating the box of chocolates they were ''supposed'' to give to their crush. There are any number of LoveTropes, comedic love tropes and SexTropes that are common to Valentine-centric plots. Can be fertile ground for ShippingTropes. And likely to be a pivotal part of a RomanceArc.
