Line 192:
* Septimus in ''[[Septimus Heap|Physik]]''.
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** In ''[[Discworld/The Light Fantastic|The Light Fantastic]]'' we get a conventional scene of the [[Barbarian Hero]] rescuing a [[Virgin Sacrifice]]. And then, because it's [[Badass Grandpa]] Cohen, his back gives out and the sacrifice has to take ''him'' to safety.
** Verence in ''[[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|Lords and Ladies]]'' and Roland in ''[[Discworld/The Wee Free Men|The Wee Free Men]]'' are both captured by the Queen of [[The Fair Folk]] and rescued by the heroines. With as many ''[[Tam Lin]]'' references as seems appropriate.
* In Teresa Frohock's ''[[Miserere: An Autumn Tale]]'', Lucian is a captive at the opening. Father Matthew has to give him a way to escape and rouse him from despondency to get him to take it.
* In the climatic scene of Stieg Larsson's ''[[The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo]]'', first part of ''[[The Millennium Trilogy]]'', the male protagonist Mikael Blomquist is captured by a mass murderer, locked in an underground torture room, chained, stripped naked, humiliated and explicitly threatened with rape, when his female partner, the ''[[Action Girl]]'' [[Lisbeth Salander]], come in to save him, chase and destroy the villain.
