Their fate is usually to be casually discarded with a [[Hannibal Lecture]], to wind up [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|another victim]], or to go to jail for the crimes they commit to aid the Monster, often screaming declarations of love all the way.
Depressingly common in [[Real Life]], where it is called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybristophilia hybristophilia]. Compare [[Zombie Advocate]] and [[Draco in Leather Pants]] for when the fandom does it.

* The ''[[Harry Potter]]'' franchise has Bellatrix Lestrange, tenaciously devoted fangirl to Voldemort, and [[Word of God|according to J.K. Rowling]], in honest love with Voldemort despite his complete inability to feel love, compassion or even pity for another being.▼

** This reaches new highs of psychosis in "Father of the Bride", where fangirl Tina Vincent [[Evil Laugh|cackles maniacally]] at her own capture, and spends her interrogation alternately smiling at taunting the cops with how much ''better'' [[Serial Killer|Nate Haskell]] is than them.
* Baltar's cult in ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' sheltered Baltar after his trial from the many, many people who wanted him dead.
* In ''[[Bones]]'', [[Serial Killer]] Howard Epps got married to one of these while in prison. Then he escaped and killed her.
* Several episodes of ''[[Criminal Minds]]'', with "Riding the Lightning" and "The Angel Maker" being the most prominent examples.
** In "Riding the Lightning", the [[Serial Killer]] has a horde of fangirls who call themselves "The Brides of Jacob" and deliberately dress up as his victims.

* In ''[[Flashpoint (TV series)|Flashpoint]]'', "Jamie Dee" takes a hostage to steal a policecar. It turns out the "hostage" is one of his fangirls. {{spoiler|However, he's [[The Woobie|not what]] he seems}}.
* The killer in Season 6 of ''[[Dexter]]'' gets legions of online fans, plus a pair of fans who actually aid him in a kill.
* Red John from ''[[The Mentalist]]'' seems able to recruit fanatical followers of both sexes.
* One of the criminals in [[Lie to Me]] (a rapist who blinded his victims) had a Monster Fanboy who was so devoted that he married one of the victims so he could be "close" to what had been done to her.
* Downplayed in an episode of ''[[The Golden Girls]]'', where Blanche sends some very explicit love letters to a prison pen pal. In this case, she does it as a hobby, figuring he won't get out anytime soon. Until she finds out he's been paroled. The ex-con eventually robs their house, leaving poor Sofia (who was unlucky enough to be the only one there at the time) [[Bound and Gagged]].
* An Inversion occurs in an episode of ''[[Family Matters]]'', where Steve's prison pen pal falls in love with ''him'', and unfortunately, he was signing his letters to her with Carl's name - he manages to warn Carl about five minutes before the now-paroled inmate shows up. This one has a happier outcome, as she backs off when Carl tells her he's married and not intersted, and he directs her to a place that is hiring ex-cons.
