* Look under "[[Fan-Preferred Couple]]" for ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. The trope is [[Invoked Trope|set up]] when an alternate love interest for Elliott is introduced in the form of Nanase, [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] when they turn out to actually ''be'' a couple, [[Double Subverted Trope|double subverted]] when she breaks it off because there's no spark, and then ''triple'' subverted when [[Opposite SexGender Clone|Ellen]]/Nanase becomes canon. Triple-subversions are ''extremely'' hard to do... but the trope isn't being subverted as much as being a straight playing of [[Will They or Won't They?]].
* ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' do this with [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]. More complex than you thought.
* Sivo in ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' is a triple subversion of the "Knight vs. Dragon" story.<ref>To wit: A [[Our Dragons Are Different|Rogat Orjak]] smashes in Antimony's dorm roof. He introduces himself as Reynardine, and asks that Annie stay with him [[Subverted Trope|so the cruel knight won't capture and imprison him.]] The next day, Annie sees Reynardine again, and he tries to [[Demonic Possession|possess]] and kill her. Sir Eglamore--the knight from the previous evening--saves Annie. [[Double Subversion|So he was the good guy and Rey the bad guy all along.]] The triple subversion comes when Eglamore explains that Reynardine is a "[[Our Demons Are Different|demon]]"--and that the Rogat Orjak whose body Rey had stolen was an old friend of Eglamore's, named Sivo.</ref>
