History Main / IntertwinedFingers

** In the remake ''Film/LetMeIn' rather linking their fingers as they cuddle Abby instead takes Owens hand and gently rests it on her cheek. Its equally a sweet gesture to demonstrate their budding romance and destract from the fact that Abby is naked and covered in blood.

** Steven holds hands with Connie this way in "Nightmare Hospital" while searching for Rose's sword in aforementioned dark, creepy hospital.

* Literature/HandsHeldInTheSnow makes this such an important visual element that it appears in practically every chapter once the OfficalCouple finally [[TheyDo gets together.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'': Having spent seven centuries alone on Earth AfterTheEnd with only a tape of ''Theatre/HelloDolly'' to keep him company, the titular robot comes to associate holding hands with companionship and longs to do so with the probe bot he falls in love with, EVE.

** Though the actor playing Chakotay wasn't too impressed. Likely in reference to the Vulcan example above, he gripped, "It's ''Star Trek'' romance, which means we touch hands and it's supposed to be thrilling."

[[folder:Video Game]]

** Subverted in "Tough Love". Tara has had a fight with Willow and is sitting alone on a bench when a women entwines fingers with hers. Tara turns with a big smile...only to find herself facing [[BigBad Glory]] who proceeds to torture her for information by crushing Tara's fingers until they bleed.

* Used as part of the Yukari and Yuyuko's fairly [[HoYay Les Yay]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u1PUdhMeaM combination save]] in ''[[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Touhou Soccer]]''. Similarly used with the guys Rinnosuke and Ehrlich with their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD_XK7cbRvA combination attack]] which is made even more {{ho|Yay}}moerotic.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'': [[spoiler: Jude and Milla]] first hold hands before intertwining them [[spoiler: when Milla chooses to become the new Maxwell.]]

-->'''Takako:''' Wawawah, o-our fingers... our fingers are intertwined!
-->'''Runa:''' This is how lovers are supposed to hold hands.

* Sumika and [[GenkiGirl Ushio]] do this in the first chapter of ''Manga/SasamekiKoto''. They are JustFriends, even though both are identified as SchoolgirlLesbians early on -- and Sumiko has a major crush on Ushio. The fact that Ushio heavily favors cute, petite girls causes Sumika enormous angst over Ushio's [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]] to [[CannotSpitItOut her feelings]].

* At the end of ''Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix'' [[spoiler: Takeshi and Liz]] are seen holding hands and, when [[spoiler: Liz]] gets flustered and tries to pull away, [[spoiler: Takeshi]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments re-grabs her hand and entwines her fingers]].

* A very sweet one in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', when Janeway and Chakotay realise that they have no choice but to spend the rest of their lives together. Chakotay gets there quicker than Janeway, and tells her an "ancient legend" about [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove an angry warrior who only ever finds peace after being forced to work with a wise and beautiful female warrior]]. Janeway finally gets it, and the resulting [[HoldingHands hand grasp]] is just about the most [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming thing ever]].

* In ''Manga/TheFiveStarStories'', Amaterasu & Lechesis hold hands this way after defeating Juba and his goons with the [[HumongousMecha Knight]] [[BlingBlingBang Of Gold]]. Not exactly Yuri, as this Amaterasu isn't a Shinto goddess, but rather the hermaphroditic god-king of an entire planet. Yeah, it's that kind of manga.

* In VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition fanfic ''FanFic/WalkingInCircles'', Solas and Evelyn are often specifically described to do this and not just simply holding hands. In fact, it's rare for them not to do this when they're with each other.

** ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'' and ''MahouGirlsPrecure'' as well.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': After listening to recordings from the Vietnam War, Gibbs and Sloane (both of whom are {{Shell Shocked Veteran}}s -- him from Desert Storm, her from Enduring Freedom) are visibly shaken by the memories. Sloane reaches out to put her hand on his arm in comfort, and he responds by taking her hand in his and lacing their fingers together. They aren't dating... [ShipTease yet]].

* The YuriGenre series of {{Visual Novel}}s, '' Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchizuke Wo'' loves to use this trope often with its various couplings. Referenced in the seventh game between Runa and Takako:
-->'''Takako:''' Wawawah, o-our fingers...our fingers are intertwined!

* [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Pre-eclipse Guts and Casca]] did this occasionally, most notably during their love scene. Unusual in that they were now an OfficialCouple, so the ShipTease aspect was not present.

* Sachiko and Yumi hold each others' hands this way in the second season finale of ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru''.

[[folder:Comics]]

* Corky and Violet's final scene together in ''Film/{{Bound 1996}}'' -- an especially nice touch considering what [[{{Fingore}} other things]] happened to fingers in ''that'' movie.

** ''SuitePrettyCure'' and ''MahouGirlsPrecure'' as well.

* In the second new chapter of MorinagaMilk's YuriGenre manga ''Kisses, Sighs, And Cherry Blossoms Pink'', Nana and Hitomi hold hands on the bus like this. When more people come on, Nana gets embarrassed and suggests they stop, which Hitomi agrees to...only to covertly ''kiss'' her.

* Near the [[CutShort end]] of ''Manga/DoubleArts'', this was the default position of [[TheHero Kiri]] and [[TheChick Elraine]] during combat. Considering the titular style [[BattleCouple they created]] is based on [[DanceBattler synchronized duet dancing]], this is kinda understandable. Somewhat necessary since they are [[CantLiveWithoutYou struck hand to hand by default]].
* Rose and Ryuuji in ''LightNovel/DragonCrisis'' do this fairly often, since it's used to kick off their [[BattleCouple Engage]] abilities.

* This happens once in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' with two Gundams. Considering the context, it likely wasn't meant to show anything more than friendship.

* Kyoko and Sayaka in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' for a sweet, quick moment before it gets [[MomentKiller killed]].

* Taki and Klaus do this before kissing in ''[[Manga/MaidenRose Maiden Rose]]'', as least, when their relationship is going smoothly.

* In ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', Saki and Nodoka hold hands like this quite a bit.

* In ''Manga/TheFiveStarStories'', Amaterasu & Lechesis hold hands this way after defeating Juba and his goons with the [[HumongousMecha Knight]] [[BlingBlingBang Of Gold]]. Not exactly Yuri, as this Amaterasu isn't a Shinto goddess, but rather the hermaphroditic god-king of an entire planet. Yeah, it's that kind of manga.
* This happens between Makoto and her younger sister Miyuki in ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'', when Miyuki thinks that her sister wants to jump out of the window because she ate Makoto's pudding.
* In ''Manga/KingOfThorn'', twin sisters Kasumi and Shizuku intertwine their fingers during a flashback FuroScene. Kasumi was a ShrinkingViolet and very dependent on emotional support from Shizuku.

* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' has this between [[HoYay Utena and Anthy]] at times.
** Also Akio and Utena do this during their sex scene.

* Haku and Chihiro in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' do this as [[spoiler: they are free-falling from the sky after Haku transforms back from his dragon form into his human form.]]
* At the end of ''Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix'' [[spoiler: Takeshi and Liz]] are seen holding hands and, when [[spoiler: Liz]] gets flustered and tries to pull away, [[spoiler: Takeshi]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments re-grabs her hand and entwines her fingers]].
* Female!Yuki and Luka do this in ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName''.

* [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Pre-eclipse Guts and Casca]] did this occasionally, most notably during their love scene. Unusual in that they were now an OfficialCouple, so the ShipTease aspect was not present.

* Yuno and Yuki during their sex scene in ''Manga/FutureDiary''.

* Souseiseki and Suiseiseki, two of the closest characters in the series ''Anime/RozenMaiden'' do this in the second opening and elsewhere in the manga.
* An unromantic example from ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' in Suruga Monkey. While Senjougahara intertwines their fingers Kanbaru confesses her love. Senjougahara's response is to reply that she knows and that she can't see Kanbaru as anything but a friend.

* Kenshin and Kaoru intertwine their fingers when they make love in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin: Reflection''.
* Two unnamed [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe women]] in the audience are seen doing this at the beginning of ''Anime/{{Interstella5555}}'' as they enjoy the concert.
* Shigeru and [[spoiler: [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Mai]]]] do this right before leaving Quindecim in episode 3 of ''Anime/DeathParade''.
