Alice dates Bob. Bob is friends with Dave. Dave is single. So is Alice's friend Carol. The Rules of Fiction[[
May lead to [[
An inherent part of living in a moiety system, wherein all families belong to one of two groups and Alicetonians can only marry Bobsylvanians. A subversion occurs within cross-cousin marriages, where an Alicetonian man will marry a Bobsylvanian woman but a Bobsylvanian man will marry a Carolstani woman but a Carolstani man will marry an Alicetonian woman. (In some cultures, it reverses every generation.)
Line 12:
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' gives us Shinji/Asuka and Kaji/Misato, with the subtext of Shinji/Misato and Asuka/Kaji. [[Freud Was Right]], after all.
* ''Mobile Suit [[Gundam Seed]]'' has Kira/Lacus and Athrun/Cagalli, with Kira's sister ending up paired with his best friend and Kira ending up paired with his best friend's former fiancee. (It's not hard to find Athrun/Lacus, [[Ho Yay|Athrun/Kira]], and/or [[Brother-Sister Incest|Kira/Cagalli]] subtext as well.)
** ''Mobile Suit [[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', on the other hand, messes with the formula by breaking up Athrun and Cagalli while Kira and Lacus stay together.
Line 21:
== Literature ==
* In the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], the Skywalker family and Hapan royal family seem to cross over with some frequency: Teneniel/Luke, Tenel Ka/Jacen, Isolder/Leia, and [[
* [[Harry Potter|Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione]] of course.
** This configuration of ships is called "One Big Happy Weasley Family". And just to make it all the bigger and happier, we had Bill Weasley and {{spoiler|Fleur Delacour, Harry's fellow Triwizard competitor in Book Four,}} getting married and ''their'' daughter being involved with {{spoiler|Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks' son}}.
Line 27:
== Film ==
* ''[[When Harry Met Sally...]]'': Harry and Sally fix each other up with their respective best friends. The two end up hitting it off and get together before the titular couple. So this is actually both an inversion and played straight.
