Line 18:
* Implied in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' that Rei might have had feelings for Gendo at one point. When he turns out to not care for her at all, she starts to get attracted to Shinji instead.
* Combined with [[Reincarnation Romance]] -- in the messed-up, round-about way that only [[CLAMP]] can provide -- in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'': Yue was in love with Clow Reed. Clow dies, and Yue is sealed in a book. Later, Clow Reed is reincarnated as Fujitaka Kinomoto, and Yue's alternate form Yukito (and later Yue himself) falls in love with Fujitaka's son Touya. Follow that? (For added madness, Clow had intended for Yukito to fall in love with Fujitaka's ''daughter'', the titular Sakura.)
** Also combined with [[Reincarnation Romance]] {{spoiler|as well as [[Parental Incest]]}} in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''. After Beatrice Castiglioni dies, her lover Kinzo raises her daughter, {{spoiler|convinces himself that her daughter is actually her reincarnated, and [[Wife Husbandry|has a child with her once she is of age]]}}.
* In ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]'', this combined with [[Wife Husbandry]] and [[Kissing Cousins]], is what Reiji's doing with Rin. He fell in love and was with her mother, but then she died of lung cancer. Now he's raising Rin to [[Replacement Goldfish|replace her]].
* The first [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] gives us {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]] Dante, who had planned to trick/seduce Ed into loving her - by [[Grand Theft Me|taking over]] [[Body Surfing|Rose's body]], as a replacement for Dante's first love, Hohenheim.}}
Line 24:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The ''[[Captain America (comics)]]'' example below is also in the comics: due to [[Comic Book Time]], Sharon "Agent 13" Carter was originally said to be the younger sister of Peggy Carter, but she's now her neice.
* An old [[EC Comics]] science fiction tale had an astronaut testing a faster than light spaceship. From his point of view, it works fine. Then he returns home and find that decades have passed. His girlfriend is now an old woman, married to his best friend. He ends up falling in love with their daughter, who is now his age.
* The ''[[Spider-Man]]: Sins Past'' storyline [[Fanon Discontinuity|infamously]] reveals that [[The Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] slept with [[Norman Osborn]], with whom she secretly had a pair of twins. Though Gwen was primarily Peter's [[Love Interest]], she had dated Norman's son Harry as well.
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
Line 38:
* In ''[[Hook]]'', Peter Pan continues to visit Wendy as she ages. One day he returns to find her an old woman and is distressed that the girl he loved has grown old and forgotten how to fly. She tells him about her own granddaughter, Moira, who is asleep in her old bed. Peter promptly falls in love with Moira and decides to stay and grow up to be with her.
* In ''[[Drowning Mona]]'' {{spoiler|Rona is playing wheel of fortune with both Jeff and Phil Dearly.}}
* This is gender-reversed in some adaptations of the French novel ''Le Bossu'' (''The Hunchback''), though not all of them. In the novel and its two major film adaptations, the hero marries his ward or adopted daughter, the natural daughter of his former love interest, who is herself the widow the man whose death he is avenging. In the 2003 French miniseries ''Lagardère'', the titular character instead winds up with his original love interest after raising her daughter as his own.
* Ilsa, the extraordinarily fortunate villainess in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'', gets to sleep with ''both'' Doctor Jones. Of course she's only using them but who says she didn't enjoy it?

Line 46:
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Littlefinger seems to have this for Sansa.
* Afra Lyon in the ''[[Tower and The Hive]]'' series by Anne McCaffrey: he can't have the Rowan, so he marries her daughter Damia.
** [[Discussed Trope|Discussed in the book]] where Afra rejects this accusation by saying that he and Rowan were never meant for each other. [[Your Mileage May Vary|YMMV]] on whether to believe him or not.
* Infamously in the ''[[Twilight]]'' series, when Jacob imprints on Bella's daughter while said daughter was still an infant.
** Arguably [[Inverted Trope|inverted]]; it's implied in his internal narration that he was only in love with Bella because she would be the mother of his true love, Reneesme.
Line 57:
* The Japanese novel ''Thousand Cranes'' plays this straight when the main character sleeps with his deceased father's ex-lover, then [[Gender Flip|Gender Flips]] / [[Inverted Trope|inverts]] it when he falls for that woman's daughter, leading to a [[Did They or Didn't They?]] situation at the end. (For added fun, someone's trying to set him up with a third, unrelated woman while all this is going on.)
* In the [[Denouement]] of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s ''[[John Carter of Mars|Warlord of Mars]]'', Thuvia's hopeless crush on John Carter is showing every sign of being cured by meeting his son Carthoris. (Things go wrong so that she and he get their own book, ''Thuvia, Maid of Mars''.)
* ''The Third Life of Grange Copeland'' is all over this: Grange was having an affair with Josie, and eventually runs off to the North. Then Josie starts sleeping with Grange's son Brownfield, who ''also'' sleeps with Josie's daughter Lorene. Then he marries Josie's niece, Meme, while Grange comes back and marries Josie. The whole family is already completely screwed up, and that's ''before'' {{spoiler|Brownfield murders Meme}}.
* In ''Her Fearful Symmetry'', Julia has a crush on the married Martin, which he declines. She later goes for his son.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 68:
== [[Religion]] ==
* In [[The Bible]], Joseph manages to barely resist an affair with Potiphar's wife. He later marries the daughter of a man named Potipherah, which is similar enough to Potiphar that some believe them to be the same person. ([[Averted Trope|Averted]] in the Muslim version of this story, where Potiphar's wife is more sympathetic and eventually marries Joseph herself.)
** One Jewish tradition holds that Potiphar's wife wanted to sleep with Joseph because she knew from divination that they were destined to have descendants together--misunderstanding that those descendants would be through her daughter.
** Joseph's brother, Judah, [[Inverted Trope|inverts]] this trope: in accordance with the law of levirate marriage he winds up marrying Tamar, the widow of his two older sons.
== [[Theater]] ==
Line 85:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': Mr. Burns' illegitimate son was the result of a [[One Night Stand]] with the daughter of his old college crush.
{{quote|''Burns [[Flash Back|flashes back]] to the outdoors of the 25th Yale reunion feast of his Class of 1914. A much younger C.M. Burns sees his unrequited love of his college years, Mimsy Bancroft, a middle-aged woman staring back at Young Burns. Young Burns becomes wide-eyed as the narration goes on. "Of course, by then, Mimsy had her share of wrinkles and a grey hair or two, but my adoring eye saw past those minor imperfections - to her 21-year-old daughter, Lily."''}}
* In one episode of ''[[The Pirates of Dark Water]]'', and elderly alchemist reveals that she was Ren's father's ex-girlfriend. [[Woman Scorned|She never got over losing Primus to Ren's mother]]. She later used a potion to restore her youth and blackmailed Ren into marrying her in a crazed attempt to reclaim her past happiness. Sadly, the potion backfired on her -- likely because she used a drop of ''[[Murder Water|Dark Water]]'' to make it -- and she suffered [[Rapid Aging]]. When Ren tries to apologize for his father jilting her, she absolves him and his father of blame saying that she was the one who couldn't let go of the past.
