Might be a [[Battle Couple]]. Very likely experiences [[Eternal Love]]. For the other type of "couple," see [[Super Couple]]. A subtrope of [[Divine Date]], which may only involve one actual god.
{{examples
== Anime ==
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo]]'': 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.
== Comic Books ==
* Quite a few DC [[What If|What Ifs]] 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
** 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.
Line 23:
== Literature ==
* In the [[Ursula K Le Guin]] short story "The Birthday of the World", the God of a particular country is a [[Brother
* {{spoiler|Orb/Gaia and Parry/Satan}} in ''[[Incarnations of Immortality]]''. Also, arguably Fate's occasional affairs with Chronos or Mars.
Line 63:
== Webcomics ==
* Two characters in ''Antiheroes'' are the twin sons of a [[God Couple]], specifically a powerful fiend and an equally powerful celestial. The in-laws were not happy.
* ''[[Digger (Webcomic)|Digger]]'' has (in the [[Backstory]]) [[Badass Abnormal|She-Is]]/He-Is{{spoiler|-[[Beat Still My Heart|On-Dubious-Life-Support]]}}. [[Madden Into Misanthropy|It]] [[My Greatest Failure|did]] [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|not]] [[My God, What Have I Done?|work]] [[I Cannot Self
Line 72:
* In fanon, [[Touhou|Yasaka Kanako and Moriya Suwako]], ''literal'' [[Heterosexual Life Partner|goddesses]] at that. With Kochiya Sanae as their <s>daughter</s>great-great-great-...-granddaughter. Sanae really ''is'' Suwako's great-great-great-...-granddaughter, but has no known blood relation to Kanako.
* The [[Backstory]] for the ''[[Disciples]]'' series includes Gallean and Soloniel. Gallean planted the forests and populated them with [[Our Elves Are Different|elves]], while Soloniel literally cried oceans and bore [[Fish People|merfolk]]. Then they had to go and antagonize [[Norse Mythology|Wotan]], known for his temper, who rips Gallean's heart out and throws it into the sun. Soloniel jumps after it but the sun burns her, turning her into Mortis, the goddess of death. Mortis revives Gallean, at which point he tells her it's over, since she's now fleshless.
* ''[[Muramasa the Demon Blade (Video Game)|Muramasa the Demon Blade]]'' gives the [[Tiny Guy Huge Girl]] couple of [[Blow You Away|Fuujin]] and [[Shock and Awe|Raijin]]. Raijin is a [[Amazonian Beauty|visibly muscular woman]] (seriously, she'd put any and all female bodybuilders to shame) about 3.5 times larger than the player [[Stripperiffic|with little in terms of clothing]], a large chest, and [[Hartman Hips|monstrous thighs]] (think "tree trunk-sized") that'd make [[Street Fighter|Chun-Li]] look like a twig. She's still [[Cute Monster Girl|very beautiful]], especially when her [[Tsundere|"dere" side finally comes to the surface]]. Fuujin, [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|by contrast]], is a very mellow, very adorable little imp, usually calming down the thunder goddess in her less rational moments. He also states ([[Bowdlerise|in the original Japanese version]]) that he loves her fat ass.
* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'': It's implied that once upon a time, Cosmos and Chaos, despite [[Order Versus Chaos|representing inherently opposite forces of nature]], [[Beast and Beauty|were lovers and peacefully ruled over the world together.]] {{spoiler|And then came Garland, Chaos' ''own past self'', who convinced Chaos to wage war against his significant other.}} Chaos himself does not remember this until he regains his memories near endgame. {{spoiler|Considering that he just ''killed'' Cosmos moments earlier, [[My God, What Have I Done?|Chaos is mortified]]. And to twist the knife further, if you obtain all of the Cosmos and Chaos reports, you find out that Cosmos is more or less Garland/Chaos' ''[[Parental Incest|adoptive mother]]''. [[Oedipus Complex|Ew.]] Or not since they have no blood relations and gods are ageless anyways. They may as well be adoptive siblings or have no familial ties at all.}}
** Freud would have a field day with the family dynamics in Dissidia. Consider: {{spoiler|Chaos is the "son" of Cid Lufaine, his master and ultimate foe in the story. Chaos' past/future self is Garland. Cid Lufaine's wife was said look exactly like Cosmos, who is technically the adopted daughter of Cid, the love interest of Chaos and the Warrior of Light, and was created to be a mother surrogate for Chaos. Let's not forget that Cosmos bears striking resemblance, not only to Cid's wife, but also to the Princess Sarah, who was the love interest of both Garland, Chaos' future/past self, and the Warrior of Light. The Warrior of Light, for his part, is also Cid Lufaine's "son", being a perfect copy of him in all but memories. Meaning that Chaos' enemy is both his father and the man who looks just like his father, who fights his past/future self in a battle for/against the woman who resembles his mother/sister/future/past girfriend. And let's not forget that Cid's wife's memories were passed down from generation to generation, meaning that somewhere in World A exists a woman who is, at least in her mind, Cid's wife, alongside Cid's daughter/wife clone and the woman who bears more than passing resemblance to said daughter/wife clone. All this without throwing in the resemblance between Lightning and the White Mage from [[FF 1]]!}}
* ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'' has Queen Jaydes, ruler of the lower part of the afterlife, [[The Underworld|The Underwhere]], {{spoiler|married to King Grambi, ruler of the upper part of the afterlife, [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven|The Overthere.]]}} They even have a child, {{spoiler|Luvbi, though she [[MacGuffin Girl|isn't exactly their biological daughter.]]}}
