== Anime ==
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'': Ryoohki {{spoiler|Washu and Sasami/Tsunami are two of the Goddesses that made the universe. And Ryoko is Washu's daughter ([[Does This Remind You of Anything?|there is no father]]). Tenchi is the avatar of the god that made the Goddesses. Apply [[Tenchi Solution]] and voila.}}
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' gives us Shinji and Kaworu. (Well, Shinji only becomes a god after Kaworu dies, but Gendo's working ever so hard to make his son into a god this whole time.) Shinji/Rei could also qualify, maybe.
* ''[[Project A-ko]]'': The title character is ''strongly'' implied to be the daughter of Superman and Wonder Woman, who are happily married and living in Japan.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* Quite a few DC [[What If]]s pair Superman and Wonder Woman, giving the impression that the authors consider it [[Better Than Canon]]. For example:
** ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]],'' possibly the first major example. Interesting because [[Destructo-Nookie|when Wonder Woman and Superman made love it caused earthquakes, hurricanes, twisters, tsunamis, and other fun stuff]].
** At the end of ''[[Kingdom Come]]'', not only have Supes and Diana hooked up (Lois Lane's death is a major backstory point), but she's pregnant with a [[Goo-Goo Godlike|baby reality warper]]. (Or, at least, a baby. The [[Reality Warper]] thing is mostly in the sequel.
** Act Of God has them get together, though you can argue about whether it fits this trope, since they're depowered at the time.
* In a [[Shout-Out]] to the above examples, ''[[PS238]] revolves around the son of [[Expy|expies]] of Superman and Wonder Woman, with the twist that he has no powers. His parents are deep in denial.
* In the ''[[Cross Gen]]'' universe, pretty much every couple between the First, Secundae, Atlanteans, and Sigil-Bearers, with special nods to Altwaal/Raamia, Evinlea/God-Emperor Charon, and anything involving [[Humanoid Abomination|Miranda]] [[Ms. Fanservice|Cross]].
 
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Hancock]]'' deals with the aftermath, as the titular character recovers his memory and meets his ex.
 
 
== Literature ==
* In the [[Ursula K. Le Guin]] short story "The Birthday of the World", the GodGods of a particular country isare a [[Brother-Sister Incest|married brother-sister pair]]. Upon the death of either husband ("God Himself") or wife ("God Herself"), the remaining partner ceases to be God and two of their children marry and become God in their turn.
* {{spoiler|Orb/Gaia and Parry/Satan}} in ''[[Incarnations of Immortality]]''. Also, arguably Fate's occasional affairs with Chronos or Mars.

Line 40 ⟶ 39:
 
== Mythology ==
 
* From [[Greek Mythology]]:
** Aphrodite and Ares are often portrayed as lovers. Of course, Aphrodite was ''married'' to Hephaestus, so it became pretty funny when he would catch them in the act with an unbreakable iron net.
Line 54 ⟶ 52:
* Izanagi-no-Okami and his wife, Izanami-no-Okami, the creator deities of Japan according to Shintoism.

== Tabletop Games ==
* Given [[A God Is You|the nature of the game]], this is practically inevitable in ''[[Exalted]]''.
** Actually, it's a major part of the roles of the Exalted in the First Age. Lunars were meant to be the consorts and companions of Solars, and Solar-Lunar marriages were the norm.
