{{quote|''"The vampire is the slick sophisticated guy, the werewolf is the butch blue-collar guy, the girl can only pick one and so on... [...] Plus the vampires mostly have a kind of European thing going on while the werewolves are all native Americans, so there's a kind of racial-cultural thing happening... All right, you know what? You could probably make a good movie out of that. I mean, they didn't, but... you know... I guess you ''could''."''|'''[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/1107-New-Moon MovieBob]''''s review of ''[[New Moon]]''}}
 
This [[Trope]] is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. When [[Romance Ensues]] in a continuity featuring [[Fur Against Fang]], the result tends to end up including a [[Love Triangle]] featuring a [[Vampire Tropes|vampire]] and a [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werewolf]] as two of the [[Triang Relations|three members]].
 
Usually also involves [[Feuding Families]], [[Fur Against Fang]], [[Maligned Mixed Marriage]], [[Star-Crossed Lovers]].
Line 8:
 
== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Dance in Thethe Vampire Bund]]'', Mina's the vampire, Akira is the werewolf, and the Royal Three make up the third party as a whole. There's also the odd triangle between Mina, Akira, and Yuki, who is in love with Akira and has a lot of mutual [[Les Yay]] with Mina.
* Subverted in ''[[wikipedia:Crescent Moon (manga)|CrescentMoon]]''. {{spoiler|The tengu wins the girl.}}
** Hell, the werewolf and vampire aren't even competing. The werewolf is interested in an entirely different girl than the heroine.
Line 19:
== Literature ==
* ''[[Anita Blake]]''. In addition to being a love triangle, the metaphysical bonds formed between the human necromancer, the vampire and the werewolf makes all of them more powerful.
* ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'': This is, fundamentally, the plot of the series.
* ''[[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]]'' and its [[HBO]] adaptation, ''[[True Blood]]''. {{spoiler|Okay, he's an [[Animorphism]] shapeshifter. But he gets mistaken for a werewolf. If you read further into [[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]], it's actually a telepath / vampire/ vampire/ shapeshifter/ werewolf/ werepanther / weretiger [[Love Dodecahedron]].}}
** Though on the other hand, Sookie {{spoiler|breaks up with/kills most of her past lovers before moving onto the next one, so it's not quite such a tangled mess. Not to mention, with Harris' habit of whacking off characters left and right, there likely soon won't be any characters left for Sookie to even have a relationship with, let alone have to worry about sparking rivalries.}}
Line 31:
== Film ==
* Played totally straight in the ''Twilight'' series.
* Amusingly subverted in ''[[Underworld (Filmfilm)|Underworld]]''. Vampire Kraven ''thinks'' he's in a love triangle with [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Vampire Assassin]] Selene and the series' [[Unfazed Everyman]], Michael. And the werewolves are trying to turn Michael to their side before she gets a hold of him. He's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|dead wrong]], though, since she thinks he's a power hungry coward. Hell, at that point in the story, she doesn't even have a romantic interest in Michael yet... Kraven is just so narcissistic as to think she's in love with him, and it infuriates him to even consider that she could choose Michael over him.
** Of course, she ''does'' eventually fall in love with Michael, ''despite'' him being turned into a werewolf against his will. She even tries mightily to protect him from other vampires and herself (considering she usually kills werewolves on sight). Kraven tries to win her over again (despite having been exposed as a traitor to all vampires) and at this time she literally shoots him down, though she fails to kill him (not for lack of trying). {{spoiler|He dies in the second movie}}.
* In ''[[Van Helsing]]'', the title character was in the process of becoming a werewolf when Dracula kidnapped his love interest and tried to seduce her.
Line 49:
* ''Love Drops''
* Averted in the [[Girls Love]] [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Akai Ito]]'', despite having premise of [[Lesbian Vampire]] [[Fur Against Fang|versus]] [[Beastess]] and each of them have a route. [[Multiple Endings|Due to the way the routes are written]], you can't [[Red String of Fate|connect to another character]] when you're already connected to someone.
* A weird version of this appears to be going on between Vulcanus/Valvatorez/Fenrich in ''[[Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten]]''. Of note to what makes it weird: There's no human in the triangle (Vulcanus is an angel {{spoiler|though she was formerly a human}}), the ''vampire'' is at the center of the triangle, and both the vampire and the werewolf are [[Ho Yay|male]].
** There is, however, a Bad End where [[Token Human]] Fuka makes Valvatorez and Fenrich her harem. They're not happy with it, particularly since she makes them wear [[Dragged Into Drag|maid outfits]].
