* Wiki/SCPFoundation: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1522 SCP-1522-1 and 1522-2]], When SCP-1522-2 is [[MoralEventHorizon heavily damaged by the GOC in an unprovoked missile strike]], 1522-1 goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge at ''Mach 4'' and [[RammingAlwaysWorks annihilates the GOC warship that attacked its mate]]. It returns to find its fellow ship unresponsive and sinking. [[PleaseWakeUp It desperately sails a pattern around SCP-1522-2 to try and raise it using advanced water-pressure techniques]], but does not succeed and 1522-2 sinks. [[HeroicBSOD It stops responding for seven hours]]. When approached by an SCP search-and-rescue helicopter, SCP-1522-1 lets of a single, loud, sustained blare of its foghorn in the ship version of a BigNo and [[DrivenToSuicide wills itself to fall apart and sink next to SCP-1522-2]]. Their remains were salvaged by the SCP Foundation and their rusting hulls now sit together on a beach in Svalbard.

* [[MultipleEndings One]] of the endings of ''VisualNovel/SayaNoUta'' has [[spoiler:Saya and Fuminori]] end up like this, [[spoiler:as Saya gets fatally wounded, causing Fuminori to kill himself]]. It is absolutely [[TearJerker heartwrenching]], the way that [[spoiler:Saya ignores her wounds (with Kouji still repeatedly delivering blows as she does so) and drags herself over to Fuminori's corpse so she can embrace him before slipping away herself]].

* Wagner's adaptation of the ''Literature/TristanAndIsolde'' legend is one long exploration of this trope.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': A ''very'' obscure deity from the 3.5 book ''Libris Mortis'' was in fact the patron deit of TogetherInDeath; specifically, she was the patron deity of Together In ''Un''death. She was known as Evening Glory and taught that love shouldn't be "Til death do us part" and instead that achieving immortality through becoming undead was a valid way to make that love eternal. In case your wondering, her official alignment is True Neutral.

* In ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland'', Agnes suggests that she and Jasper remain in Deadland and give in to GhostAmnesia when she realizes that her life wasn't as great as it seemed.

'''[[spoiler:God Of Light:]]''' [[spoiler:Salem Lives. [[ThatManIsDead But the woman you hold dear in your memories is gone.]]]]

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. [[spoiler:After [[RageAgainstTheHeavens defying the Gods]] for them refusing to revive Ozma, they punish Salem by cursing her with [[WhoWantsToLiveForever immortality]] so that she can never reunite with Ozma, but the curse will only be lifted if she learns "the meaning of life and death". Later, when the God of Light revives him anyways to deal with the grimmified Salem, Ozma initially only wants to return to the afterlife so that he can be with Salem until he is told what happened to her.]]

* ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'' throws herself over the wall of the prison after her lover Mario is killed. And in doing so, she calls the name of [[MagnificentBastard Scarpia]], [[FoeYay not her lover]].

* In the short comic ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/ingridtan/art/Hold-Close-298355905 Hold Close]]'', a little fire spirit and a little water spirit fall in love, but the fire spirit is scooped up by a human and put into an oil lamp. The water spirit follows him and sits with him all night, but evaporates due to the heat. Shortly after, the lamp is extinguished, killing the fire spirit. He becomes a ghost and is reunited with the water spirit, who has also become a ghost.

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': Saber and Shirou finally get a proper happy ending in [[UpdatedRerelease Realta Nua's]] [[RevisedEnding bonus ending of]] the Fate route. [[GuideDangIt To unlock it, you have to]] [[HundredPercentCompletion die every way possible, and finish all three routes, and get all five endings]]... but by doing so, you get what might well be the most heartwarming scene in the whole game. As she lays dying, Arturia is informed that it is absolutely impossible for her to ever see Shirou again; the afterlife is simply not designed to handle people who were born and died a thousand years apart. But if she [[IWillWaitForYou waits for him forever]], and if Shirou [[IWillFindYou seeks her forever]], then maybe [[BeyondTheImpossible the impossible will happen]]. In the end, they are reunited in Avalon.

* In "My Heart of Darkness", a rewrite of the ''Falling in Love'' comic story, "Lesson in Love", by Jeanne Martinet (found in ''[[https://www.amazon.com/Truer-Than-True-Romance-Classic/dp/0823084388/ Truer Than True Romance]]''), Nan falls in love with her teacher, Wayne Allen, but can't impress him because of her writings that deal with [[NukeEm nuclear war]], existential angst, and death. She tries to keep a straight face, but this turns FromBadToWorse. She even notices that he has a thing for {{Dumb Blonde}}s like his student Marsha. [[spoiler:But one rainy day, while Wayne is driving in the car with Nan, she discovers that he too is {{angst}}y like her, dislikes sappy stories about cherry pie, and secretly wants to die. As the car they are in purposefully swerves off the road in the path of an oncoming truck and plunges into the river, she realizes that she and Wayne will finally be together eternally in the afterlife.]]
