-->''Now that he had won her, what was he to do with her? He was but an adult child, with the brain and brawn of a man, and the ignorance and inexperience of the new-born.

The brute had been carrying the lovely creature, therefore that must be the thing for him to do, and so he stooped and gathered Virginia Maxon in his great arms.''

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has -- predictably -- Clark pull a variation of this on [[spoiler: Lois Lane]] when he catches her. This is at least partly to cushion her fall (from a plane) to minimize the jolt as [[ShownTheirWork he matches her descent speed and slows the both of them down in line with the laws of physics]], taking the trouble to support her back, neck, and head in the process. The {{UST}} is not ignored. He then does it again, more conventionally, to whisk her over to the plane (which he has since rescued) and drop her off discreetly... and unfortunately does it a little ''too'' fast, meaning that [[spoiler: Lois]], still somewhat off-balance, [[VomitDiscretionShot ends up throwing up on him]].

* Done in ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'' when [[MeaningfulName Truly Scrumptious]] [[DrivesLikeCrazy accidentally runs her car into a pond]] (the first time) and Caractacus Potts comes to her rescue.
