[[File:Mai-Reo-IntertwinedFingers.jpg|link=Sono Hanabira
Intertwined Fingers is a particular way of [[Holding Hands]] that indicates a more than close relationship between two people. This is commonly done by lovers, or whenever a creator wants to [[Ship Tease|indicate a pair are more than friends]] without going out and saying it.
Line 13:
== Anime and Manga ==
* Rose and Ryuuji in [[Dragon Crisis]] do this fairly often, since it's used to kick off their [[Battle Couple|Engage]] abilities.
* Used as [[Ship Tease]] in ''[[
* Aimi and Kaoruko of ''[[Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge]]'' do this as part of their [[In the Name of
* Najimi and Yell do this in episode 7 of ''[[Akikan]]''. This may be part of the summoning process which also includes kissing.
* [[Creepy Twins|Hansel and Gretel]] do a [[Twincest|very delicate]] [[Toy Ship|and sensual version]] of this in ''[[Black Lagoon]]''. It's a bit unnerving. Then [[It Gets Worse]].
Line 20:
* Kanade and Yukino from ''[[Candy Boy]]'' do this a lot. Yes, they are sisters--but it is hinted that [[Twincest|there's more to it]].
* In the last episode of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Chrono and Rosette intertwine their fingers right before they {{spoiler|[[Together in Death|breathe their last]]}}. [[Tear Jerker|*sob*]]
* Ryou and Nagisa in ''[[
* Occurs between {{spoiler|C.C. and Lelouch}} near the end of ''[[Code Geass
* ''[[Full Metal Panic|Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid]]''. Xia Yu Fang and Xia Yu Lan do this after one of them gets a [[Pistol-Whipping]] from [[Bad Boss]] Gates. It hints at their [[Twincest]] relationship, as if the earlier [[Les Yay]] [[Shower Scene]] wasn't evidence enough.
* This happens once in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' with two Gundams. Considering the context, it likely wasn't meant to show anything more than friendship.
* ''[[Haru wo Daiteita]]'': When Iwaki declares his love, he entwined his fingers with Katou and held them to his heart - awwwwwww.
* Sae and Hiro in the OP for ''[[Hidamari Sketch]] [[Oddly
* The second season of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro
** In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro
* Taki and Klaus do this before kissing in ''[[Hyakujitsu no Bara|Maiden Rose]]'', as least, when their relationship is going smoothly.
* ''[[Junjou Romantica]]'': Usagi and Misaki on occasion.
Line 33:
* In ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'', Chikane and Himeko do this after confessing their feelings for each other.
* Intertwined hands are part of the [[Discretion Shot]] in ''[[Kare Kano]]'' during their love scene.
* Sachiko and Yumi hold each others' hands this way in the second season finale of ''[[
** As do {{spoiler|Yumi and Touko}} in the finale of season 4.
* This trope pops up even in older [[Girls Love]] works like ''[[
* Setsuko and Yukino do this in ''[[
* The first three seasons of ''[[Pretty Cure]]''. That is all.
* {{spoiler|Ayato and Haruka}} of ''[[
* In the manga version of ''[[ROD the TV]]'', Anita and Hisami do this ever so often, clearly showing [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|the intensity of their friendship]].
* In ''[[Saki (
* [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus]] do this quite a few times throughout the series.
** Most notably during the "I like your hands" scene, on the morning that they {{spoiler|go to the Marine Cathedral expecting to have to [[Blood
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Sumika]] and [[Genki Girl|Ushio]] do this in the first chapter of ''[[Sasameki Koto]]''. They are [[Just Friends]], even though both are identified as [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] early on -- and Sumiko has a major crush on Ushio. The fact that Ushio heavily favors cute, petite girls causes Sumika enormous angst over Ushio's [[Oblivious to Love|obliviousness]] to [[Cannot Spit It Out|her feelings]].
* Done rather overtly in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AcKA2-dwE ending credits] of ''[[Strawberry Panic
** Also done by Shizuma and Nagisa before and during their [[Underwater Kiss]].
* In ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'', Amaterasu & Lechesis hold hands this way after defeating Juba and his goons with the [[Humongous Mecha|Knight]] [[Bling Bling Bang|Of Gold]]. Not exactly Yuri, as this Amaterasu isn't a Shinto goddess, but rather the hermaphroditic god-king of an entire planet. Yeah, it's that kind of manga.
* This happens between Makoto and her younger sister Miyuki in ''[[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time]]'', when Miyuki thinks that her sister wants to jump out of the window because she ate Makoto's pudding.
* In ''[[
* It's used between Hikari and Akari in the opening of ''[[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World]]'', though that doesn't really have romantic overtones (unless you choose to interpret it like that...)
* Actually a valid piloting input in ''[[Vandread]]''. Done only by Hibiki and Dita though.
Line 54:
* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' has this between [[Les Yay|Utena and Anthy]] at times.
** Also Akio and Utena do this during their sex scene.
* Shown between the eponymous pair of Sumi and Kina in the first chapter of the [[Slice of Life]] manga series, ''[[
* Haku and Chihiro in ''[[Spirited Away]]'' do this as {{spoiler|they are free-falling from the sky after Haku transforms back from his dragon form into his human form.}}
* At the end of [[Immortal Grand Prix]] {{spoiler|Takeshi and Liz}} are seen holding hands and, when {{spoiler|Liz}} gets flustered and tries to pull away, {{spoiler|Takeshi}} [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|re-grabs her hand and entwines her fingers.]]
* Female!Yuki and Luka do this in ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]''.
* In the second new chapter of [[Morinaga Milk]]'s [[Yuri Genre]] manga ''Kisses, Sighs, And Cherry Blossoms Pink'', Nana and Hitomi hold hands on the bus like this. When more people come on, Nana gets embarrassed and suggests they stop, which Hitomi agrees to...only to covertly ''kiss'' her.
* In ''[[No. 6]]'' chapter 13 Sion is nervous about going to rescue Safu and Nezumi calms him down by grabbing his hand and [[Ho Yay|intertwining his fingers with Sion's]].
* [[Berserk|Pre-eclipse Guts and Casca]] did this occasionally, most notably during their love scene. Unusual in that they were now an [[Official Couple]], so the [[Ship Tease]] aspect was not present.
* [[Les Yay|Sharon intertwines her fingers with Alice's]] in one scene in ''[[Pandora Hearts]]''.
Line 67:
* Some [[Shipping]] fics in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' fandom do this, not only because it's romantic, but also because Vulcans have [[Fantastic Arousal|very sensitive fingers]]
* Enoby and Draco do this in [[My Immortal]], while simultaneously [[Flipping the Bird|sticking their middle fingers up]].
* ''[[
== Film ==
* Corky and Violet's final scene together in ''[[Bound]]'' -- an especially nice touch considering what [[Finger Damage|other things]] happened to fingers in ''that'' movie.
* Mathesar sees Laliari and Fred doing this towards the end of ''[[
* In [[High School Musical]], this can be interpreted as the moment of the [[Relationship Upgrade]] between Troy and Gabriella.
* Used in the scene where Eli crawls into Oskar's bed in ''[[Let the Right One In]]''. It's probably for the best that that's where the focus is, as Eli's naked and bloody, Oskar sleeps in his underwear, and both are 12 years old. Nevertheless, the scene is [[Toy Ship|painfully sweet]].
Line 81:
== Literature ==
* Anne and Diana do this when making their vow of friendship in ''[[
* In #8 of the ''[[
* Tavi and Kitai do this on occasion in ''[[Codex Alera]]''.
Line 95:
* Ditto for [[Glee|Brittany and Santana]], though they prefer linking pinkies. Though, they do intertwine fingers in "Hold On To Sixteen".
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the Doctor and Rose do this [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|all.]] [[Will They or Won't They?|the.]] [[Everyone Can See It|time.]]
* A heartbreaking one in an episode of ''[[
* ''[[Heroes]]'': Claire recently told Gretchen she wants to hold her hand.
* ''[[The L Word]]'' uses this all the time, even focusing directly on it ''during'' lovemaking scenes. Of course, one would speculate that hands are of larger significance in lesbian sex, given that women tend to be much more tactile than men and have slightly fewer useful appendages. Plus, it gives the camera something to look at that might [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|get past the radar]].
* ''[[
* A very sweet one in ''[[Voyager]]'', when Janeway and Chakotay realise that they have no choice but to spend the rest of their lives together. Chakotay gets there quicker than Janeway, and tells her an "ancient legend" about [[Anguished Declaration of Love|an angry warrior who only ever finds peace after being forced to work with a wise and beautiful female warrior]]. Janeway finally gets it, and the resulting [[Holding Hands|hand grasp]] is just about the most [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming thing ever]].
{{quote| '''Janeway:''' Is that really an ancient legend?<br />
Line 105:
== Music ==
* [[Lady Gaga]] and [[Beyonce]] do this at the end of the music video of "Telephone". It goes with the fact that in the video, they're heavily implied to be a [[Les Yay]] version of [[
* The [http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss123/cosplaymoe/Magnet/d0061859_14375298.jpg?t=1265246066 picture] made for the [[Vocaloid]] song "magnet" speaks for itself
Line 114:
== Video Game ==
* Used as part of the Yukari and Yuyuko's fairly [[Les Yay]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u1PUdhMeaM combination save] in ''[[Touhou
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', Princess Shine and Latooni also do this as the finale to the Royal Heart Breaker, in the same way as the above.
* Used in [[
* [[Final Fantasy XIII
== Visual Novels ==
* The [[Girls Love]] series of [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]], ''[[Sono Hanabira
** Referenced in the seventh game between Runa and Takako:
