May sometimes intersect with [[Subordinate Excuse]].
{{examples

Line 20:
* Team Rocket's Jessie and James in ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]''. They even get married expecting a child in ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga.
** In the ''Gaining Groudon'' and ''Scuffle of Legends'' episodes, the leaders of team Aqua/Magma have ''very'' caring administrators.
* In ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star|Pretty Cure Splash Star]]'', the last two members of Dark Fall's [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] were the fitness-obsessive [[Worthy Opponent]] Kintolesky, and Shitataare, the flamboyant [[Femme Fatale]] with a penchant for a good [[
* It was all over the place in ''[[Ninja Scroll]]''.
* In ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', many of the fans have taken to pairing up Putata and Mekeke of the Shurara Crops. Other pairings involve Gyororo Nuii, or Kagege Gyororo, or Shurara and any other other members.
Line 26:
* In [[MAR]], Gido and Ian. Partly subverted in that Gido isn't killed, [[Body Horror|mutated horribly]]. Ian then becomes one of the top rank enemies out of anger, and eventually pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]] when Ginta convinces him that he's not the enemy. Ian eventually finds the real enemy and manages to break the curse. They're shown living together later.
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'''s Lust and Gluttony could be considered a platonic version of [[Minion Shipping]]. Though their relationship is far more maternal than romantic, it serves the humanizing function of this trope in much the same way as any other ship. {{spoiler|When Lust dies in both anime and the manga, Glutony is reduced to a sobbing, inconsolable child. In ''Brotherhood'' and the manga, Gluttony even displayes the revenge aspect of this trope, going into a frenzy when he discovered he is in proximity to the man who killed Lust (Col. Roy Mustang).}}
* [[Gayngster|Squalo and Tizziano]] from ''[[Jo
Line 37:
* Shenzi (with double duty as [[Dark Chick]]/[[The Dragon]]) often gets shipped with [[Subordinate Excuse|Banzai]] in ''[[The Lion King (Disney)|The Lion King]]'' fanfiction. While there are no scenes of genuine intimacy, they're often close together in the movies. Watch their behaviour closely and there's all sorts of girlfriend/boyfriend subtext there.
* ''[[The Mummy Returns (Film)|The Mummy Returns]]'' had Imhotep and Anuk-su-Namun. {{spoiler|When Anuk-su-Namun abandons him, after all he'd gone through out of his devotion to her, Imhotep goes the [[Freak Out]] route and allows himself to be dragged into Hell without a struggle, having lost his will to live.}}
** Making it something of an [[Alas, Poor Villain]] moment.
* ''[[The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Film)|The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor]]'': General Yang and Colonel Choi. More implied than overt. Also ends with an [[Alas, Poor Villain]] moment, in that when {{spoiler|Yang gets knocked into a set of giant moving gears, Choi rushes to his aid and refuses to leave him even when he screams at her to save herself (complete reversal of Anck Su Namun and Imhotep). Both die together, and not happily.}}
* In ''[[Total Recall (Film)|Total Recall]]'', [[Michael Ironside]]'s bad guy character and Sharon Stone's bad girl character are a couple, even though she sleeps with Arnold's character for at least six weeks to build a cover (8 years' worth of memories including a wedding ceremony). Ironside goes insanely homicidal when Stone is knocked off by Arnold's [[Love Interest]].
* Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd in ''[[Diamonds Are Forever (Film)|Diamonds Are Forever]]''.
Line 44:
** And how can we forget Jaws and Dolly in ''[[Moonraker (Film)|Moonraker]]''?
** From fangirl opinion, Moon/Zao from ''[[Die Another Day (Film)|Die Another Day]]''- though that's more like Villain on Minion.
* ''[[Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'''s Riff Raff & Magenta fall under this as well as [[Brother
** In the sort-of-sequel, ''[[Shock Treatment]]'', the same actors play Cosmo and Nation McKinley, who are depicted as a [[Armed With Canon|married couple]] (though they still ''pretend'' to be siblings), and Rest Home Ricky and [[Hello Nurse|Nurse Ansalong]] are also revealed to be paired off. <ref> Actually, quite a few of the characters with much screen time in the film, good or bad, are paired off throughout the film, except for Neely Pritt ([[Hot Scoop|the reporter]]), Bert Shnick, and in the end, Ralph (who, [[Hilarious in Hindsight|amusingly enough]], was seen getting married at the beginning of the first film)</ref>

* Stephanos and Yonatan from ''[[Fake News Rumble]]''. [[Lampshaded]] by [[The Colbert Report|Stephen]] with a certain [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_5_9.html child-like glee.]
* [[Brother
* Nale and Sabine from [[Order of the Stick]] qualify, if only for their initial appearance when they were "working for" Xykon. After that, they are more of a Villainous Duo (or she could be considered [[The Dragon]] to his [[Master Mind]]).
* [[Girl Genius]] is chock full of this. [[The Igor|Minions]] abound, and whenever their masters are busy with A-plot nonsense, there's always some kind of [[Ship Tease]] from the Foglios. Most prominent are [[Hot Amazon|Zeetha]] and [[Implacable Man|The Unstoppable Higgs,]] who are all but [[Official Couple|official]] at this point. Also in the mix is [[Action Survivor|Moloch von Zinzer,]] who has a crush on [[Rose
