History Main / AngelDevilShipping

Generally, a combination of MindGameShip and OppositesAttract, with a dash of VictimFallsForRapist / DracoInLeatherPants, depending on whether the 'ship is canon or not.

We all know the appeal of MindGameShip, playing another person's mind like it's a game and what not, but this trope can go hand in hand with that one. Take two characters: one sweet, innocent, kind, caring, what have you. In other words: a perfect angel. The second character is malicious, possibly perverted, and devilish. In other words: a devil. Then you pair them up with each other. The main aspect here lies in the fact that the Devil character can do all sorts of things to torment the Angel character and in the end the two characters will fall in love despite everything or perhaps because of everything (or not if the pairing is one-sided)

May overlap with FoeYay. Compare BeastAndBeauty. Sometimes a IHaveYouNowMyPretty scenario may occur from the devil to the angel.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has [[{{Wheelchair Woobie}} Tavros]], who is frequently shipped with either Vriska or [[spoiler: Gamzee]]. The funny thing is that both are at least halfway cannon.

* Light/Anyone in ''DeathNote'', but especially Misa or L, though L has usually been Uke-fied in such instances because it isn't really canon for him to just sit back and let Light screw with him, he can do plenty of mind screwing himself.

* Tohru/male!Akito from ''FruitsBasket''.

* Xelloss/Filia in ''TheSlayers''.

* Miyuki and Wolfrun from ''SmilePrettyCure''. At least that's what the fandom thinks.

* Rippner and Lisa in ''RedEye''.

** Momo/Gin or Momo/Aizen exists, too.

** To a lesser extent, Ulquiorra/Orihime.
** Gin/Momo or Aizen/Momo exists, too.
