* One of the myths explaining the origins of the god [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hermaphroditus]] was that the nymph Salmacis feel deeply in love with him but he protested against her advances, so she prayed to the gods to merge their bodies together, which they gladly obliged. ValuesDissonance is obviously at play with how "romantic" this is, but the account by Ovid claims Hermaphroditus wished for all beings bathing in the pool where this happened to be similarly transformed, implying its okay.

* ''VideoGame/DarkMessiahOfMightAndMagic'': Xana and the protagonist are linked together magically early in the story, and the bond between them manifests as her voice broadcasting in his thoughts, and many of her demonic powers being usable by him. Given that Xana is [[HornyDevils a Succubus]], their connection is given very sexual connotations, with Xana [[AggressiveSubmissive submissively promising to fulfill his every desire]].

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': Long ago, an Elezan woman known as Shiva and the dragon Hraesvelgr fell in love. Faced with the societal barriers between humans and dragons, and the fact that Hraesvelgr would [[MayflyDecemberRomance outlive Shiva]] many times over, Shiva bade Hraesvelgr to eat her, causing her soul to be joined to his. Centuries later, they remain connected, and Shiva's influence has kept Hraesvelgr from joining Nidhogg's war of revenge against humankind. [[spoiler:In ''Shadowbringers'', Rhyne becomes the First Shard's version of the primal Shiva. In the Savage version of her battle, she summons a copy of Shiva's love Hraesvelgr to her side. Hraesvelgr physically bonds with Shiva, granting her draconic power.]]

* In ''ComicBook/ChaosWar'': Thor #2, after apparently losing his powers, ComicBook/{{Thor}}’s human alter ego, Donald Blake, merges with his love interest Becca Steinhardt to become Thor once again.

* In ''ComicBook/FirestormDCComics'', Jason Rusch and his girlfriend Gehenna gained the ability to merge into the eponymous hero. This was treated with very romantic (and sometimes sexual) undertones between the two.

** Near the end of ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'', [[spoiler: Serph and Sera]] died but their souls fused, forming the intersex [[spoiler: Seraph]]. Futhermore, his/her Atma Avatar is Ardha.

* In the ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' movie, the goal of the BigBad, Puppet Master, is to merge with Major Kusanagi. This is referred to at various points as "mating" between the two machines. When it happens at the end, the new entity has a child-like body (the only thing Batou was able to find) and is comparable to the "offspring" of the two original beings. The original manga takes this a step further, by explaining that the Puppet Master needs Motoko in order to actually procreate. He could easily copy himself as many times as he wanted, but with no actual variation between the copies, a single computer virus could wipe them all out. The 2nd manga goes on to show that Motoko Aramaki [[spoiler:is one of 27 different offspring that came about from Motoko Kusanagi's fusion with the Puppet Master]].

* While it was never explicitly made canon, in VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria Mikleo fulfills all the romantic tropes for protagonist Sorey. He’s also the first seraph that Sorey [[FusionDance armatizes]] with in game, and is by far the easiest.

* ''VideoGame/VoltageFighterGowcaizer'': Ryo and Suzu Asahina fuse together in their Kaizer Form to create the sub-boss Platonic Twins where Ryo becomes the arms, shoulders, legs, and head or Suzu is suspended in the centre as a torso and arms. Despite the boss name having "Platonic" in this is a case of [[BrotherSisterIncest is also a case]] (at least according to the OriginalVideoAnimation adapation) and therefore is also a SiblingFusion.
