* ''Fanfic/ManOfDreams'': [[spoiler: Even after Madara leaves him and betrays the village, Hashirama is still in love with him.]]
* ''Fanfic/{{Sehnsucht}}'': [[spoiler:Cynthia was still in love with Daemon Spade even after he betrayed the Vongola First Generation, hence why she ultimately spared his life. It's implied those feelings linger within her reincarnation Noriko, which complicates her relationship with Daemon's Tenth Generation counterpart, Mukuro, and Daemon himself when he reappears during the Inheritance Ceremony arc]].

* Subverted in ''Anime/FiveCentimetersPerSecond''. The unrequited love ultimately did not last forever, with Creator/MakotoShinkai's intent to depict Takaki's maturation and his ability to move on, ending his obsessing over Akari.

If someone is desperately in love, but finds it unrequited, they might either [[LoveMakesYouEvil go]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy bon]][[{{Yandere}} kers]], or follow a thought like "If ''you'' don't want to be with me, no one will!" and choose solitude or at least [[CelibateHero celibacy]] for the rest of their life.

* On ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', Kaldur is still pining after Tula five years after she chose Garth [[spoiler:and she ''died''. An excuse he uses to infiltrate The Light]].
