Ayase is disabled and a love interest, but a look at the work page does not suggest she is a Tragically Disabled Love Interest


* [[DisabledLoveInterest Ayase]] from ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'' gets ShipTease with Shu, but not nearly as often as Inori and Hare who are treated as his main romantic options. [[spoiler:At the end of the story, both Inori and Hare are dead while Ayase is still alive, but Shu doesn't act interested in her because he's [[TheMourningAfter still mourning Inori]].]]

Per What Goes Where On The Wiki, YMMV wicks are not allowed on non-YMMV pages


* In ''Manga/XxxHolic'', the [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] LoveTriangle between Watanuki, Himawari, and [[ShippingGoggles Doumeki]] has a monkey wrench thrown into it when it turns out that for all his intense crushing on Himawari and numerous bonding moments with Doumeki, the one Watanuki cares the most about is... [[spoiler:his boss and mistress Yuuko Ichihara, for whom he sacrifices the right to leave the shop indefinitely, [[IWillWaitForYou in hopes he will one day see her again]]]]. Doumeki is... less than pleased about this arrangement. However, this has not discouraged Doumeki from ''still'' [[HoYay acting like he's his husband]].

** Early in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' Betty Brant (brunette) and Liz Allan (blonde) are competing for Peter Parker. Then Aunt May introduces them to her best friend's niece, Mary Jane Watson. They are both aghast at the thought of having to compete with this knockout beauty. Mary Jane's face is only shown several issues later, but fitting in with this trope, she turns out to be a redhead.

** Although not to the extent between Wonder Woman and Batman, Spider-Man has had at least strong feelings at one point toward fellow heroine [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]] whom she reciprocated. Out of all the superheroines, she's arguably the one with the best chance with Spider-Man.

[[DoggedNiceGuy Cody just can't win]], even more so when Sierra's involved.

* ''Series/LostGirl'': Bo has been in a long running love triangle with Lauren and Dyson. And then she picks… Rainer, who no one's even met. She calls him "her destiny;" not a single person in the main cast was pleased with that announcement. [[spoiler:He gets killed off before too long, and then it's back to the love triangle.]]

(Although Susan never had intention of acting on it, due to her own discomfort with romance, and Diane had never knowingly ''met'' him at that point, but just thought he seemed like a nice guy based on his online review show.)
