3	!Summary of issue
4	'''Category:''' Ambiguous Name
5
6	NextThingTheyKnew is basically the same as OneThingLedToAnother, except that the former is for the narrative and the latter for dialog. However, both titles are synonymous and non-indicative StockPhrases that fail to distinguish the two, and which also have non-sexual connotations. Consequently, the two tropes are often confused with each other and misused in other ways, and many uses are [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample Zero-Context Examples]] or potholes from the phrase.
7
8	About 52% of analyzable wicks of NextThingTheyKnew are misuse. Aside from confusion with OneThingLedToAnother also implicitly requires a SmashCut, which is absent in some examples. I should note that CutToSex, which is much clearer and more accurate, redirects to this page, so I'd suggest renaming the trope to CutToSex and making the SmashCut requirement clearer.
9
10	The description of OneThingLedToAnother is also barebones and somewhat unclear. Its usage is mostly based on variations of a StockPhrase, and as some of the examples are not sexual in nature, it is likely that the underlying trope is ''not'' the StockPhrase. The usage and description indicate that not only is the StockPhrase non-tropeworthy, but also that OneThingLedToAnother may actually be Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific to ItsALongStory, as its definition seems to be just "ItsALongStory, but for sex".

[[OneThingLedToAnother Instead, we have a smash cut from seductive looks to a squeaking bed, or a couple will just start passionately making out for seemingly no reason.]] It's always an impromptu act of passion, emotion, and perhaps raging hormones.

504	# FreudianSlip.FanWorks
505	** In Chapter 3 of ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'', Tsunade and Jiraiya are having a few drinks, and the two start discussing [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple how things have gone between them]] [[PlatonicCoParenting since they started living together to raise Naruto]]. Tsunade complains that Jiraiya seems to be doing things well enough only to spoil it, and Jiraiya (half-jokingly) says that she wouldn't like him if he changed everything about himself. She then blurts out "I like you better when you're not a pervert!", and he triumphantly points out she just admitted to like him. That exchange is just the first trigger of OneThingLedToAnother that same night.

507	# Funny.DevilVenerableAlsoWantsToKnow
508	** Shu Yanyan, who has to keep Yin Hanjiang from interrupting Baili Qingmiao's meditation without getting him upset, successfully convinces him that three days is an entirely normal period of time for women to spend on changing their clothes and that she could teach him some... special techniques to use with Wenren È in the meantime. When she learns later on that Yin Hanjiang [[OneThingLedToAnother spent a full month in seclusion]] with Wenren È, she fumes that teaching him her techniques was a waste if he only spent that ''short'' a time using them with Wenren È.

510	# Funny.FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya
511	** ''2wei'' Interlude. Luvia [[HeroicBSOD absolutely freaking out]] at the idea of spending night at the Einzberns' house ([[OneThingLedToAnother with Shirou]]). To put in perspective: She [[InsaneTrollLogic somehow]] connects sleepover at his house with sleeping with him in same bed, "[[SexualEuphemism doing the deed]]", getting [[BabyTrap pregnant]], and having ShotgunWedding.
512
513	# Funny.FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade
514	** Supporting [[BirdsOfAFeather Kent and Fiora]] has the two realize how alike they are. Due to their insistence on being professional soldiers, the two agree to meet up and set up a policy cutting any potential intimacies within the army. [[GenreBlind Unfortunately for them]], [[RelationshipValues Support Conversations]] [[{{Irony}} are essentially a Matchmaking Simulator]]. So OneThingLedToAnother...
515	-->'''Kent:''' Fiora... I must ask you one more thing. When this battle ends, if we both still live...\
516	'''Fiora:''' Please...say no more. I...already know what you will ask... Of course. I feel the same way.\
517	'''Kent:''' Really? I am glad... But...about that policy I suggested... What should we do?\
518	'''Fiora:''' Well... Perhaps... It can wait...
519
520	# Manga.FlyMeToTheMoon
521	** MarriageBeforeRomance: Played with. Nasa and Tsukasa are in LoveAtFirstSight, but they still get married without dating beforehand, which leads to their relationship beginning at the HoldingHands stage and them not yet being willing to change clothes in front of each other. Nasa is even scared of the thought that [[OneThingLedToAnother one thing might lead to another]] since they're living together. This subject is mentioned by Nasa when he's questioned about why he married her: essentially he intends to prove his love for her to justify the marriage rather than the other way around. Much of the focus is them building their relationship up.
522
523	# Radar.AnimeAndManga
524	** In the original light novel of ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'', Kirito and Asuna [[TheirFirstTime have sex]] after [[GladToBeAliveSex nearly dying]]. In the anime, the scene was left vague enough so that the censors could pretend they just spent the night together platonically (which, in fairness, was what Kirito had originally intended, but OneThingLedToAnother), but it's still obvious what happened.

542	# HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster: ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' played with the trope with Karolina, who felt different all her life without ever knowing why, and there eventually comes the major revelation that [[HideYourLesbians she is an alien]]. However, it turned out she was an [[TwoferTokenMinority alien]] ''[[TwoferTokenMinority and]]'' [[TwoferTokenMinority gay]], and she asked ''herself'' this question. When the team had unknowingly let a vampire into their hideout, before Karolina came out to her friends, she mentions to the newcomer how she hates always feeling different and abnormal, and she decides that she wants to feel like a normal teenage girl (and since she is sixteen, and he is cute, [[OneThingLedToAnother and they are alone...]]). Of course, it is never that simple, and in a very RealLife way (except for the vampire and alien bits) she falls into a suicidal depression when she can not fit in like she wants to, but she also learns to accept herself, and is accepted by her friends, and eventually becomes proud and unapologetic of her heritage and sexuality.
