* Website/ChannelAwesome has three main music reviewers that frequently collaborate with each other: WebVideo/PawDugan, WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows and WebVideo/PushingUpRoses. These three frequently collaborate with each other and did a collaborative review of Music/TheMonkees' ''Film/{{Head}}''. Naturally, no LoveTriangle has formed (if you don't count the fact that Paw and Roses used to date but are now PlatonicLifePartners).

*WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie: Kara, her brother Alador and her love interest Arrow, although unusually for this trope it's the female who is the protagonist... and the males in question never meet one another. A more accurate one would be swapping out Alador for Damien, who is incidentally the father of two of those mentioned and who interacts with Arrow on occasion, and because [[spoiler: Alador ends up dying two thirds of the way through the movie, while the other males make it to the final battle before meeting the same fate]]

*** Axel, or rather his complete identity, Lea, was apparently a member of one such trio with Isa and an unnamed girl referred to as only "Subject X" before X went missing, which motivated the two to train as apprentices under Ansem the Wise. Isa (as Saix) read a little bit too much into Lea (as Axel) befriending others, convincing himself that he and their lost female had been left behind and forgotten to hide his jealousy.

* ''Manga/ChoujinX'': Tokio, Ely, and Azuma. Their dynamic gets... complicated as the series goes on. At the start of the manga, Tokio and Azuma are childhood best friends. [[ExtremeDoormat Tokio more or less bases his entire life around Azuma]], and in turn Azuma, although caring about Tokio, [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex uses Tokio's reliance on him]] to keep up his self-esteem. Tokio later goes on to become close friends with Ely after she saves him from a choujin mercenary. Eventually, Azuma and Ely begin to start talking with each other and, [[BackFromTheDead after a similary]] [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening dangerous event with Azuma]], the two of them become friends with each other. After a certain major event concerning the three of them, [[spoiler:Tokio decides that he needs to stand on his own feet without relying on Azuma and Ely and leaves to go on a journey without saying goodbye to either of them. Although Ely takes it pretty well, Azuma gets ''really'' upset over Tokio's decision, viewing it as Tokio abandoning him. Subsequently, Azuma turns to Ely as a replacement for Tokio and begins basing his self-esteem around her opinion of him just as he did with Tokio. When Tokio comes back after a year, Ely immediately starts hitting it off with him again, but Azuma pretty much refuses to talk to him outside of expressing open resentment. Eventually, Tokio's and Azuma's mutual friend, Momoma, calls ''both'' of them out for letting their friendship fall apart which turns out to be the push they needed to start opening up to each other again. It's at that point that Azuma comes clean about having developed romantic feelings for Ely, recontextualizing at least some of his prior behavior post-timeskip as feeling threatened by Tokio's and Ely's friendship. Tokio, while taken aback, subsequently supports Azuma and Ely becoming a couple.]]

It's at other, though, and it's clear that both of them genuinely want to repair their relationship. The dynamic that changed that most though is easily Ely and Azuma.

Played 100% straight -- Riku is the RivalTurnedEvil because he wants to be the one to save Kairi, and doesn't want the rival who's always been one step behind one-upping him as TheChosenOne. He gets over it in the sequels.

** Although, to be fair, there was Selphie, and Quistis, and... you know what, I think it was a case of everybody wanting everybody else.
** Quistis subverts it since although she's known Squall the longest, by the time Rinoa shows up she's long given up on being his lover and instead tries to be a replacement big sister. Fanfic writers are apt to ignore this character trait and play the trope straight.
