'''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.
This is in particular, a staple of [[Girls Love|lesbian related works]] and scenes. Intertwined fingers can often [[Les Yay|indicate lesbian relationships]] [[Hide Your Lesbians|without getting explicit]] (e.g. by kissing). In fact, see the [[Girls Love]] and [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] articles for two other good illustrations of this trope.
Line 7:
[[Boys Love]] comics and other forms of [[Yaoi]] will also occasionally use this trope, often as a subtle [[Ho Yay]] or [[Discretion Shot]] to turn their relationship up a notch.
Has absolutely nothing to do with [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]] or [[Fingore]]

Line 18:
* [[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]].
* When Mari and Hagino from ''[[Blue Drop]]'' start holding hands in this fashion it's quite obvious what happened between them.
* Kanade and Yukino from ''[[Candy Boy]]'' do this a lot. Yes, they are

* Ryou and Nagisa in ''[[Clannad]]'' do this when the latter "confesses" to the former, much to [[Yuri Fanboy|Sunohara]]'s excitement.
Line 43:
* [[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 on These Hands|kill an innocent person]]}} and again {{spoiler|while they're dying/fading out of existence at the end of Stars}}.
* [[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
* Done rather overtly in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AcKA2-dwE ending credits] of ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]''.
** Also done by Shizuma and Nagisa before and during their [[Underwater Kiss]].
