* The first ''{{Inuyasha}}'' movie had the subtitle ''Toki wo Koeru Omoi'' / ''Affections Touching Across Time'', which referred to a scene where Kagome (in the present) and Inuyasha (in the past) both touch the goshinboku tree and then can communincate telepathically. (They did this because the Bone-Eaters' Well was out of order.)

* ''{{Inuyasha}}'': the Love That Overcame Time! ...Or something along those lines. Your Translation May Vary, but there was time, love and something was overcome in the title.

* And episode of ''{{Pokemon}}'' had May and Meowth hurled back in time for no discernible reason but to get a couple to hook up. This was before [[TimeLord Dialga]] was introduced to the canon.

* MercedesLackey's ''[[HeraldsOfValdemar By the Sword]]'' plays with the trope a bit with Kerowyn and Eldan - the beginning of the last third of the book shows that Kero has had recurring dreams about Eldan over the ten years since they met, fell in love, and parted. Only when they are reunited some chapters later does Kero discover that the dreams were not ''just'' dreams: the two of them were [[TalkingInYourDreams communicating telepathically]] the whole time, a fact that gives her a considerable shock when she realizes it. (Eldan, who'd already figured it out, is rather sheepish.)

* Deconstructed in ''VoicesOfADistantStar'', in which the two lovers end up eight light-years apart due to a war and have to send each other text messages (with an eight year delay) as a way of keeping in touch. They still love each other, but the physical distance is a clear source of angst for both of them (to say nothing of the fact that one party is a soldier in the war).

** Furthermore, the romance between the Doctor and River Song, besides the two of them having perhaps the most ''convoluted'' romance in existence. How convoluted? [[spoiler: He was present at her birth, he was almost romantically engaged with her mum, Amy, she was raised to kill him, there time lines are roughly back-to-front, so his first meeting was her last, etc...]] It seems to be working out pretty well, all things considered.

* ''FateStayNight'' gives us Saber and Shirou (at least in the [[UpdatedRerelease Realta Nua]] version), who manage to fulfil the StarCrossedLovers prophecy of Merlin (Shirou must forever search for Saber, and Saber must forever wait for Shirou) and reunite in Avalon.

* {{Inuyasha}}: the Love That Overcame Time! ...Or something along those lines. Your Translation May Vary, but there was time, love and something was overcome in the title.
* GurrenLagann: By the second part of the series, [[spoiler: love renders you capable of teleportation, and it's weaponised so Simon can [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan Bright Slap]] Rossiu. Although that worked because of [[ShrinkingViolet Kinon's]] love for Rossiu, not [[HoYay Simon's]].]] Love is, of course, far from the only thing in the setting that transcends spacetime.

* FateStayNight gives us Saber and Shirou (at least in the [[UpdatedRerelease Realta Nua]] version), who manage to fulfil the StarCrossedLovers prophecy of Merlin (Shirou must forever search for Saber, and Saber must forever wait for Shirou) and reunite in Avalon.

* [[spoiler: VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors has this as its' main premise: Morphogenetic fields work across large distances and even through time between two persons who are close to each other (not necessarily in a romantic way), allowing Akane to contact Junpei 9 years in the future.]]

!!!Examples

* At the end of [[{{Nightwatch}} Daywatch]] [[spoiler: Anton]] uses the chalk of fate to alter something he did [[spoiler: twelve years prior.]] As a result he never met or fell in love with[[spoiler: Sveta.]] As he passes her on a walk through the park, Zavulon and Gesser argue over whether or not he will recognize her. [[spoiler: He does]]

* In ''SomewhereInTime'', the protagonist wills himself to teleport backwards in time so he can be with his true love.

* In ''Happy Accidents'', time travel itself is done via technology (OrIsIt), but the protagonist says that the past can only be changed through an extreme amount of emotional energy. This leads him to think that he can save the life of a woman who's photograph he fell in love with in the future. [[spoiler: It works.]]

* ''SakuraWars: So Long My Love''. In an example that would make Shroedinger proud, a flashback reveals that 500 years ago, a previous incarnation of the main character battled the Demon Lord OdaNobunaga along with several comrades, and one mysterious foreign nun. They fall in love, but she has to perform a HeroicSacrifice in order to [[SealedEvilInACan seal the Demon Lord]]. Before she dies, she assures him that their souls will find their way together again someday.
** [[SchrodingersGun Whichever of the 5 main girls you 'choose' at the end of the game turns out to be a reincarnation of said nun]].

* In the movie MadeInHeaven, when Annie incarnates for the first time (leaving Heaven in the process), Elmo reincarnates to be with her even though Emmett (a stand-in for God) warns him that they only have 30 years to meet. The searching is the basis for the entire movie.

* ''ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' has [[RobotGirl Ifurita]] getting sent back in time thousands of years and taking TheSlowPath to get back to the main character so he could go meet her for the first time. [[spoiler: Eventually he finds out how to TimeTravel to her right after that point.]]

* In ''KingdomHearts'', [[BeautyAndTheBeast Beast]] was able to travel to Hollow Bastion to save Bell by sheer willpower.

* In DoctorWho Series 5, Amy's love brings back, first Rory, then her Parents, and finally the Doctor himself from nonexistence.
