* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': Subverted. For most of the story Shinji clearly considers [[FieryRedhead Asuka]] [[HeroesWantRedheads his girlfriend]], Rei his surrogate sister and Misato her surrogate mother. However, Rei's crush on Shinji (and her willingness to talk Asuka into a threesome) and Misato's proclivity to tease him complicate matters. Shinji did not plan getting married to anyone other than Asuka, but when [[spoiler:the four of them ascend to godhood]], Shinji takes the three of them as his wives out of a desire to make them happy.

* In ''Fanfic/DucktalesTwentyYearsLater'', Huey is attracted to all three of Jose Caricoa's nieces, but is reluctant to take the relationships further than casual sex, as he doesn't want to have to choose between them.

Eventually, [[spoiler: all the girls in the party confess their love to Touya, and he not only marries them, he also marries Sue, Leen, and the princesses of three other nations. And the prophecy also says that he will father at least one child with each of his nine wives, producing 8 girls and 1 boy as each of the girls' first-born.]]

* A ForegoneConclusion in ''Literature/HowARealistHeroRebuiltTheKingdom'': [[ExoticExtendedMarriage both polygyny and polyandry are commonplace in Elfrieden]], which Souma's first fiancee and future TopWife Princess Liscia (whom he was [[HeirInLaw engaged to by her parents]] to legitimize them [[AbdicateTheThrone abdicating to him]]) points out to him when they're out on the town in volume 1. Despite her own feelings for him, she'd long since come to terms with the fact that AltarDiplomacy would be a fact of life for Souma as King.

* In ''Manga/NagasareteAirantou'', Ikuto is the only male on Airantou Island with an all-female tribe of sexy amazon gals, whose other half mysteriously vanished after getting caught in a storm at sea while fishing. [[spoiler: It is revealed in the last episode of the anime that his sister Misaki is experiencing the exact same situation, ''only gender-flipped'', on the ''other'' Airantou Island, this time ''as the only female with all the missing (also-sexy) amazon guys''. This however gets heavily subverted in the manga version with everything being relatively the same except as shown in the manga version all the men got washed up to the mainland without means of getting back and the sister arrives on the island later.]]

See also OneTrueThreesome when it happens in fanon and {{Polyamory}} for group marriage in general. Contrast DumpThemAll, where the main character chooses none of the LoveInterests, and/or chooses someone outside the circle, and NoRomanticResolution where there is no conclusion between the love interest and the circle and they remain a [[HandsomeLech (usually)]] CelibateHero. Not to be confused with [[WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}} Marry the Mole]]. This is almost AlwaysMale, due to longstanding {{Double Standard}}s. However, there is nothing stopping the trope from being applied to a female lead in the right setting, and this has become more common over time.

* ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'': In the final episode of the anime, Eris suggests this as a resolution to the LoveDodecahedron between her and the other two girls in Kiho's UnwantedHarem. It's a common practise among Catians, due to their having a gender imbalance of 20 women per men. And since Kiho's house is the official Catian embassy and therefore subject to Catian law rather than Japanese law, it's even legal. The show doesn't confirm if they ever go through with it.

* Rudeus Greyrat, protagonist of ''LightNovel/MushokuTenseiJoblessReincarnation'' goes on to marry all three of his LoveInterests over the course of the story: ChildhoodFriends Sylphiette first, then [[TeacherStudentRomance magic tutor]] Roxy, and finally his [[KissingCousins distant cousin]] Eris.

He also discusses marrying Siesta, and whether he does or not it doesn't stop them from being together.]]

* In ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'', WordOfGod states that "Every heroine will get a happy ending." The normal day-to-day life of the main cast falls into {{Polyamory}}.

* In ''LightNovel/HowNotToSummonADemonLord'', Diablo married both Rem and Shera.
