* The German fanfiction community Fanfiktion.de averts this. As stated in their guidelines for authors, [[Rape Is Love]] stories are not endorsed and get consequently blocked.
* The ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|NGE]]'' fanfic of ''Shinji and Asuka'' starts pretty normally: the two are at home alone, she is berating him again... but for some miraculous reason, he finds the courage to stand up to her. She doesn't like it of course and compares Shinji to his father. Which turns out to be a '''HUGE''' mistake as Shinji snaps and rapes Asuka on the spot Of course it happened because {{spoiler|Gendo drugged Shinji's LCL with testosterone and confidence-boosting drugs in order to try and hook him up with Rei}} but it backfired because the incident caused unforeseen side-effects (boosting Shinji's confidence and breaking Asuka's ego); even though {{spoiler|Misato got suspicious and ordered a full physical examination, revealing their secret}}, soon they were still having sex. Until she suffered from [[Mind Rape]]-induced amnesia courtesy of Arael, anyway (which presented another problem: she thought she still was a virgin so {{spoiler|Shinji had to resort to subterfuge--which hurt and pissed her off, naturally}}).
* What starts the events in ''[[Troperworks/The Ruffling Ofof Fur And Feathers|The Ruffling Of Fur Andand Feathers]]'', though the rape only really happens once {{spoiler|or twice...}}.
* the ''[[Death Note]]'' fic ''[[Poison Apple]]'' by [[Robbin Rocks]] and Narroach; first Light rapes L, then L rapes Light for revenge, Light drugs L and they have drugged "making love". . . somehow.
* Appears a bit too commonly in fanfiction in general.
* Poison Apple by [[Robbin Rocks]] and Narroach; first Light rapes L, then L rapes Light for revenge, Light drugs L and they have drugged "making love". . . somehow.
* [[Ax Crazy|Flippy]] from the''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' rapes [[Fan-Preferred Couple|Flaky]] in most stories and fanart. Or kills her.
* Sasuke rapes ''[[Naruto]]'' in almost 80% of the yaoi fics in which they appear.
* Sierra from ''[[Total Drama Island|Total Drama World Tour]]'' will do this to Cody in a lot of fanfics (and probably to a lesser extent, she'll do this to the rest of the characters)
* ''[[Celebrian]]'', full stop. No more need be said.
* Rape-obsessed author [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/520793/Akenaten Akenaten] has written a bunch of stories for different fandoms that all have the same plot: a young, innocent woman is repeatedly raped and brutalized by a man who loves her deeply in his own way; in the end, they get married and have kids.
* In the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' fanfic "Let Me Be Your Savior", this is Lovino's (Romano) justification for his raping of Feliciano (Italy).
Line 115 ⟶ 114:
** There's more than one Japan/China fanwork where Japan is a rapist because he was madly in love with his older brother but couldn't confess it all those centuries before 1894 because it was incestuous. Hell, there's a doujinshi called "Midare Botan" where China realizes these feelings after being ''slashed across the back and raped while still bleeding'' and asks to have reconciliation sex when their bosses reconcile some years later.
** Not even pairings that are seen as "fluffier" get free of this. There's a Germany/Italy doujinshi in which Germany had raped North Italy during the last times of [[World War Two]] (presumably the Salo Republic days), but Italy not only forgave this, but similarly to ''Midare botan'' he asked for reconciliation sex when he snuck in to check on a captured Germany who was in the hands of the Allies after his defeat. And this is despite a very remorseful Germany's initial reluctance to go through sexual therapy.
* The horrific ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' fanfic ''[[Fan Fic/Kanashii No Imi|Kanashii Nono Imi]]'' has its main character, Jeff, want this to be seen with his victim. However, her final, defiant words not only prove him wrong, it also shows how the audience thinks of him: "I--hate...you."
* ''Beautifully'' ''''subverted'''' in the ''[[Fate/stay night]]/[[Sekirei]]'' crossover ''[[In Flight]]''. When [[Lightning Bruiser|Musubi]] tries to convince Shirou to take any measure necessary to wing [[Making a Splash|Tsukiumi]]—who is reluctant to accept an Ashikabi--[[Badass|Shirou]] isn't so impressed and compares the process—essentially a mating ritual to the alien species—to rape. He asks Musubi whether he would have approved of her being winged by someone she didn't want as an Ashikabi, and then turns to [[Playing with Fire|Homura]] and reminds him of his own reluctance to be winged by Shirou. Both become suitably uncomfortable at this. Incidentally, it is Shirou's willingness to let her ''choose'' whether she wants to be winged that convinces Tsukiumi to let herself be winged (particularly since the story establishes her as ''Agoraphobic''—fearful of sexual assault).
* In a Pokemon''[[Pokémon]]'' fanfiction named ''[[Captured]]'', a 17 year old teenager named Ike is caught in a unwanted harem of female PokemonPokémon who rape him. The harem consists of a Mightyena, a Ninetails, a Zangoose and a Lucario who were all outcasts from their clans for one reason or another and in their mating season felt lonely and found Ike wandering in the woods near his home town and captured him to make him their collective mate. The dynamic mentioned in the story is that Lucario is the dominant female. In Lucario's mind she finds Ike's refusal of her love as insulting, all she wanted was a mate but Ike simply views this as a deep-rooted psychological desire on her part to have someone who she can control. Eventually Ike befriends the Zangoose and out of regret for her earlier actions helps him escape the other Pokemon and get back home where his life finally returns to normal.
* In ''[[The Girl Who Lived]]'' series, the [[It Makes Sense in Context|druid community]] has a ceremony for when the women come of age, which involves them performing a complicated sex ceremony with their boyfriends while said boyfriends are put under a mind-altering spell that halts their sentience temporarily. It only ''narrowly'' squeaks past this trope because the guys agree to it ahead of time, but it's still very squicky.
* In ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'', Ronan essentially commits many rapes of a few different kinds, whether statutory rape (Sakura is presumably as young as she is in canon), the [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma]] variety, and even straight-up raping a conscious and unwilling woman. The author seems to believe in this trope and [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]], though, and the female characters do, as well.
* Nine times out of ten, any fanfiction of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' involving Kairi getting raped usually ends with her falling in love with the guy who raped her... such as Pete for instance.
* Subverted/Averted with the ''[[Sherlock]]'' fic "''A Reliable Man"''. (Chapter 1 can be found [http://randomly-rusted.livejournal.com/559.html here].) Mycroft is disturbing, but still sympathetic particularly when he {{spoiler|realizes the [[Break the Cutie|effect]] that his [[What the Hell, Hero?|threats]] [[Be Careful What You Wish For|have]] on [[My God, What Have I Done?|Lestrade]].}}
* [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig-zagged]] in ''[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/troop-of-beasts-dragon-ball.6675/ Troop of Beasts]''{{Dead link}}''. While some of the girls and women Kakarot rapes (Colonel Violet, Hasky, Chi-Chi, etc.) fall in love with him before long, others (notably Bulma) [[Averted Trope|don't]].

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* In the [[Criminal Minds]] episode "The Slave of Duty", the Unsub's second victim does this. However, it was merely a ploy in the hope he would let her go {{spoiler|and, unfortunately, it didn't work}}.
* Soulless vampires in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' often have a tendency to see rape and torture by their mates as a playfully kinky sign of affection. This is epitomized by Spike and Drusilla's relationship; when they break up at one point, Spike mopes and worries about how to win her back, before cheerfully realizing that he just needs to step up, take charge and "torture her until she likes me again".
** Subverted and toyed with to the breaking point by Spike's later relationship with Buffy. Both inflict rape-like behavior on one another until Spike ''actually'' tries to rape Buffy in her house—at which point, both realize that, even for them, lines have been crossed. (They still love one another, though. Maybe. He has a soul now, so it blurs things a little)
Line 255 ⟶ 253:
* In the television version of [[Pretty Little Liars]], {{spoiler|Jenna}} had been forcing {{spoiler|Toby}} to have sex with her, but she insisted that they were in love, and that there was nothing wrong with it.
* In ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'', Saul tries to invoke something like this on Annie, after the voices of the dead secretly egg him on through the TV. She doesn't fall for it, and teleports out. {{spoiler|This was all a [[Kansas City Shuffle]] on the part of the dead, who planned on it leading to Saul drinking, having a car accident, and nearly dragging Annie into the afterlife.}}
* In the ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' episode "The Slave of Duty", the Unsub's second victim does this. However, it was merely a ploy in the hope he would let her go {{spoiler|and, unfortunately, it didn't work}}.
