* [[Save Your Deity]]: Yeine to Naha in book one; Oree to Tempa in book two.

* [[Sex Slave]]: Hado and Sieh in book one.
* [[Sexual Karma]]: Yeine and {{spoiler|the rest of the Three}} get ''heavy'' doses of this, it seems. Though, to be fair, {{spoiler|when the people in charge of karma are the ones in the relationship}}, [[Justified Trope|it kind of makes sense]].
