* Nastily {{invoked}} in ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'', as narrated in "Name Hunt Station". Lo Po Bia Elaine was to become selected as a Princess of Zahard, but just before it, she fell in love with a boy at first sight. Unfortunately, he had been sent to test her to see whether she had it in her to become a celibate princess.

* Sun Quan and Lu Su in ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms.''

* "You Got It All" by The Jets is pretty much this incarnate.

* The chorus of Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" (at least the first two lines of it) was used for this type of scene five times: in ''Film/WaynesWorld'', a CallBack to it in ''Film/WaynesWorld2'', ''Film/DaddyDayCare'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' and the ''Series/FullerHouse'' episode "Hale's Kitchen".

* In the Reboot version of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes, Tinya Wazzo (Apparation) and Jo Nah (Ultra Boy) had this bad, with Jo instantly being attracted to Tinya when he's spying on the Legion. When the two locked eyes later on, this was the obvious reaction from both. Some time later, they're the SickeninglySweetHearts of the team.

** Narcissus was so beautiful that every men and women who looked upon his face fell instantly in love with him, but he would always spurn such people and break their hearts. He was cursed to fall in love with ''his own reflection'' after spurning several nymphs this way.

*** It should be noted that in most version she ate the pomegranate seeds willingly, [[IChooseToStay so that that she could stay in the Underworld and remain married to Hades]].
*** He also didn't cheat on her. While his ex-lover, the nymph Minthe, tried to seduce him away from Persephone, but nothing came of it. That's leagues above a ''lot'' of people, let alone [[ReallyGetsAround Zeus or Poseidon.]] And when Persephone found out about the nymph's little home wrecker plans,[[ClingyJealousGirl Persephone squashed and ground her under her sandal and turned her into a mint plant.]]

* Esperia in ''VisualNovel/EienNoAselia'' fell in love with Yuuto at first sight, however, she wasn't sure what kind initially. She also has a lot of difficult actually opening up to people. [[spoiler:In Kyouko's route, Yuuto becomes an Eternal without her, so she forgets him. When he comes back, she falls in love at first sight and is extremely confused and upset. When she becomes an Eternal as well to follow him, her newly ex boyfriend does the same. Minus following her, because he probably can't.]]

** Maya ''thinks'' this trope is in play when Phoenix and Iris meet in Hazakura. In reality they knew each other already, but they both were shocked beacuse neither expected to run into the other.

** Subverted in ''VisaulNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors''. Early in the game Junpei sees a pretty girl around his age and is immediately stunned, but not because he immediately fell for her, but because the girl looked familiar. It took him few moments to realise that it was his childhood friend Akane.

* In ''WebAnimation/LuckyDayForever'', Prole 514 falls in love Sasiadka upon seeing her argue with her abusive boyfriend.

* ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'' has a species (Kayoss) that falls in love this way, mainly due to their MagicGenetics. This does have a side effect (referred to as Love Struck) which involves light headedness, [[{{Squick}} drooling from the eyes]], and passing out.

* In the {{Manhwa}} ''Manhwa/PigBride'' Ji-Oh and Mu- Hwa get one of the most detailed LoveAtFirstSight sequences ever. 4 pages are dedicated to the few seconds where Ji-Oh first sees Mu-Hwa perched on his dormitory veranda railing and there's even a close up of her reflected in his eye when she springs at him wielding a sword. The strangest part? They're only the ''BetaCouple!''[[note]]Even stranger; they're not even necessarily THE Beta Couple, as the two of them end up in a LoveTriangle with [[AlphaBitch Doe-Doe]] (who falls in love with Ji-Oh after giving up on protagonist Si-Joon) which is still unresolved by the end of the series.[[/note]]

* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', Zola plans to manage her meeting with the heir to the Storm King -- and make it look like LoveAtFirstSight.

** Hades and Persephone. A bit one-sided, but he (also) gets shot with Eros' arrow of love. Instant attraction and abduction (with her father's permission and advice) ensues. On Persephone's side, it was more [[MarriageBeforeLove she fell in love with him after the marriage.]]

** Hades and Persephone. A bit one-sided, but he (also) gets shot with Eros' arrow of love. Instant attraction and abduction ensues.
*** Weirdly enough, they end up the most stable (and presumably happy) couple in Greek mythology. It probably helped that he lavished gifts and ''non-sexual'' attention on her to genuinely win her over -- and unlike Zeus, he never cheats on her. [[DarkIsNotEvil Just because he's the king of the Underworld]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards doesn't mean he can't respect his wife's feelings.]]
*** On a different point of view since Hades primary methods of romance seems to be kidnapping, lavishing her with gifts, tricking her into eating those seeds and waiting several months for StockholmSyndrome to ensue, you could bet that seduction isn't his forté.
*** On ''some'' versions. In another (which may be the closest to the original and untouched myth), Persephone willingly came to Hades, spoke to him and they reached an agreement -- he wanted a consort, she wanted to get away from her [[MyBelovedSmother overprotective mom]], they FAKED her supposed kidnapping ''and'' she ate the pomegranate seeds willingly [[CallingTheOldManOut to tell her mother]] [[IChooseToStay that she wanted to stay in the Underworld]].
*** Well, he cheated once or twice... in three-thousand years of marriage. That's leagues above a ''lot'' of people, let alone [[ReallyGetsAround Zeus or Poseidon.]]
*** And the time a nymph went to Hades and openly told him that she wanted to be his mistress? [[ClingyJealousGirl Persephone wasn't pleased.]] (Though she was [[PetTheDog quite kinder]] to his other old flame...)

* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}: In the seventh issue of ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1972}} her first solo book]]'', Kara Zor-El/Linda Danvers remembers how she fell for a guy called Tony Martin as soon as she saw him.

* In the Reboot version of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes, Tinya Wazzo (Apparation) and Jo Nah (Ultra Boy) had this bad, with Jo instantly beibg attracted to Tinya when he's spying on the Legion.

** Narcissus was so beautiful that every woman who looked upon his face fell instantly in love with him, but he would always spurn such people and break their hearts. He was cursed to fall in love with ''his own reflection'' after spurning several nymphs this way.
*** And in other versions, falling in love with his own reflection was punishment for spurning probably much older * male* suitors. ValuesDissonance? Perhaps. Creepy? Just a tad.
*** Although in Greek culture of the time young men were supposed to have older male suitors, as well as continue to be attracted to women, so both versions technically work. (Male suitors of the same age? Now ''that'' was just weird.)
*** And this doesn't count as ValuesDissonance... how?
