* ''Literature/MaidenCrown'': A ''very'' non-comedic example that's PlayedForDrama. People at court notice Queen Sophie's affection for her friend Stig and how she seems happier when he's around. Tove, TheMistress to Sophie's husband King Valdemar, exploits this to spread untrue gossip about Sophie having an affair with Stig, and Rolf outright accuses the two of betraying Valdemar. [[spoiler:This leads to Stig being trialed for treason, Sophie giving birth prematurely and losing her baby with Valdemar out of stress, and Sophie and Tove's confrontation at the end that results in Sophie accidentally killing Tove.]]

* You'd be hard-pressed to name a character in ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivationMoDaoZuShi'' who ''doesn't'' comment on Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian's UnresolvedSexualTension. The only reason it takes so long to be resolved is that Wei Wuxian is seemingly the only member of the cast who hasn't noticed Lan Wangji's obvious crush.

** ''Literature/CaptainVorpatrilsAlliance'' centers on what the principals ''think'' is a [[CitizenshipMarriage quickie marriage of convinience]] between a runaway Jacksonian MafiaPrincess and a well-connected Barrayaran Officer who considered it a better option than the former throwing herself off his balcony to escape Immigration. Neither his relations (including the guy he ''thought'' he had roped into signing off on the divorce) nor hers miss the feelings they have for each other.
** In ''Literature/ShardsOfHonor'', Cordelia and Aral can't take their eyes off each other, and she reflects they'll have to work on that. A doctor calls Aral out on the unspoken relationship.

** More conventionally, everyone from Harry's family to his perennial FriendlyEnemy can see that he and Murphy have feelings for each other. This is taken UpToEleven in ''Literature/SkinGame'', where literally everyone other than Harry himself can see it, including ''Harry's own subconscious''. More than one character refers to Murphy as Harry's girlfriend, to his consternation. [[spoiler:Nicodemus even counts on this as part of his BatmanGambit to manipulate Murphy]]. They've even admitted to each other on occasion but always convinced themselves that it would never work.
