History Main / VampireWerewolfLoveTriangle

* In most ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' fan fiction, the love story between Bella (human), Edward (vampire), and Jacob (werewolf) carries on.

* Averted in the GirlsLove VisualNovel ''VisualNovel/AkaiIto'', despite having premise of LesbianVampire [[FurAgainstFang versus]] BeastWoman and each of them have a route. [[MultipleEndings Due to the way the routes are written]], you can't [[RedStringOfFate connect to another character]] when you're already connected to someone.

-->-- '''[[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/1107-New-Moon MovieBob]]''''s review of ''[[Film/{{Twilight}} New Moon]]''

* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', {{Tsundere}} Kagome likes [=InuYasha=] (who is a half-human half-dog hanyou, which is similar to a werewolf), while [=InuYasha=] used to love Kikyo (Kagome's past life), who becomes essentially an undead soul-energy eater. Koga, a wolf youkai, is also in love with Kagome.

* In most ''Twilight'' fan fiction, the love story between Bella (human), Edward (vampire), and Jacob (werewolf) carries on.

* Played totally straight in the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' series with Bella (human), Edward (vampire) and Jacob (werewolf). While nowhere near the first example of the trope, it is the first one most people will immediately think of, likely making it the TropeCodifier.
* Amusingly subverted in ''Film/{{Underworld}}''. Vampire Kraven ''thinks'' he's in a love triangle with [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Vampire Assassin]] Selene and the series' UnfazedEveryman, Michael. And the werewolves are trying to turn Michael to their side before she gets a hold of him. He's dead wrong, though, since she thinks he's a power-hungry coward. Hell, at that point in the story, she doesn't even have a romantic interest in Michael yet... Kraven is just so narcissistic as to think she's in love with him, and it infuriates him to even consider that she could choose Michael over him.\\\
Of course, she ''does'' eventually fall in love with Michael, ''despite'' him being turned into a werewolf against his will. She even tries mightily to protect him from other vampires and herself (considering she usually kills werewolves on sight). Kraven tries to win her over again (despite having been exposed as a traitor to all vampires) and at this time she literally shoots him down, though she fails to kill him (not for lack of trying). [[spoiler:He dies in the second movie]].

* ''Literature/AnitaBlake''. In addition to being a love triangle, the metaphysical bonds formed between the human necromancer, the vampire, and the werewolf makes all of them more powerful.
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' book ''Literature/{{Thud}}'', Angua the werewolf is in a relationship with Carrot, but Sally the vampire develops a crush on him and an intense rivalry develops between the girls, which is only intensified by instinctual FurAgainstFang. However, the rivalry (and instinctual dislike) seems to be [[ImaginaryLoveTriangle mostly in Angua's mind]]. Sally admits that she's attracted to Carrot, but knows that she doesn't really have a chance; [[MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat his heart beat picks up whenever Angua is around]].
* Somewhat true in [[http://www.patriciabriggs.com/ Patricia Briggs']] ''Literature/MercyThompson'' books. The titular character has to choose between two werewolves: teenage crush Samuel and next-door-neighbor Adam, but she also has a rather close relationship with vampire Stefan, whose unrequited crush seems very likely to stay unrequited. In the fifth book she [[spoiler:finally chooses Adam,]] but this remains pretty central to the plot for most of the series. However, Stefan is only really a contender in his own mind, as Mercedes has plenty of good reasons to dislike vampires.

* In the ''Literature/NightWorld'' novel ''Literature/{{Daughters of Darkness|1996}}'', Mary-Lynette finds herself in one of these with newcomer Ash (the vampire) and her childhood friend Jeremy (the werewolf). Ash wins by default, as the Soulmate Principle means he and Mary-Lynette are [[BecauseDestinySaysSo destined for each other]], though the fact that Jeremy turns out to be [[spoiler:a psycho who tries to kill her]] helps too.
* Another example of this trope is Daniel Gonzalez's ''Ravencraft novels'', there's a love triangle between vampire hunter Donovan Fort, his vampire girlfriend Lucilla and his werewolf colleague Laura Talbot.
* ''Literature/TheSookieStackhouseMysteries'' and its {{Creator/HBO}} adaptation, ''Series/TrueBlood''. Okay, he's an {{Animorphism}} shapeshifter. But he gets mistaken for a werewolf. If you read further into ''Literature/TheSookieStackhouseMysteries'', it's actually a telepath / vampire / vampire / shapeshifter / werewolf / werepanther / weretiger LoveDodecahedron. On the other hand, Sookie breaks up with/kills most of her past lovers before moving onto the next one, so it's not quite such a tangled mess. Not to mention, with Harris' habit of killing off characters left and right, there likely soon won't be any characters left for Sookie to even have a relationship with, let alone have to worry about sparking rivalries.
* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': The TropeCodifier, as this is, fundamentally, the ''whole plot'' of the series. The first book establishes the romance between human Bella and RomanticVampireBoy Edward. The second has Bella get closer with her childhood friend, Jacob, while revealing that he's the MagicalNativeAmerican version of a werewolf. The triangle continues through two more books, weirdly ending with [[spoiler:Edward and Bella getting married, conceiving a [[RapidAging fast-growing]] {{Dhampyr}} on their honeymoon, and giving her and Jacob a HookedUpAfterwards]]. Some evil vampires are thrown in to pad the story.

* ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019'' has a rare example of a vampire in the center in the season 3 episode "Gail". Nandor, a vampire, is in love with Gail, [[spoiler:who is secretly a werewolf]]. After finding this out, they challenge the werewolves to a game of kickball(parodying [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Twilight]]) Nandor's human bodyguard/familiar, Guillermo, is jealous of this and tries to stop Nandor's heart from getting broken.

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' "Treehouse of Horror" pastiche of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', when Milhouse's reaction to Lisa dating a pre-teen vampire is to transform into a ''poodle''.

This {{trope}} is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. When RomanceEnsues in a continuity featuring FurAgainstFang, the result tends to end up including a LoveTriangle featuring a {{vampire|Tropes}} and a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] as two of the [[TriangRelations three members]]. Generally the central figure is a human, but not always.

* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', {{Tsundere}} Kagome likes [=InuYasha=] (who is a half-human half-dog hanyou, which is similar to a werewolf), who himself used to love Kikyo (Kagome's past life), who becomes essentially an undead soul-energy eater, and Koga, a wolf youkai, is in love with Kagome.

* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' starts playing with it in the second season, with [[spoiler: [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Caroline]] developing an intense friendship and bond with [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Tyler]] while still having some feelings for her ex-boyfriend [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Matt]]]]. Season 3 takes it further as Tyler has also become a vampire, and Klaus, who is also vampire and werewolf. In short, it's a vampire girl torn between two werewolf-vampire hybrids.

* ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019'' has a rare example of a vampire in the center in the season 3 episode "Gail". Nandor, a vampire, is in love with Gail, [[spoiler: who is secretly a werewolf]]. After finding this out, they challenge the werewolves to a game of kickball(parodying [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Twilight]]) Nandor's human bodyguard/familiar, Guillermo, is jealous of this and tries to stop Nandor's heart from getting broken.

* In a HalloweenEpisode of ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', Roberta believes she's being fought over between a mysterious vampire and loner werewolf. [[spoiler: Subverted, when it's revealed that both the monsters are actually gay for each other.]]

* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', {{Tsundere}} Kagome likes [=InuYasha=] (who is a dog hanyou, which is similar to a werewolf), and he used to love Kikyo (Kagome's past life), who becomes essentially an undead soul -- energy eater, and Koga, a wolf youkai, is in love with Kagome.

* Averted in the GirlsLove VisualNovel ''VisualNovel/AkaiIto'', despite having premise of LesbianVampire [[FurAgainstFang versus]] {{Beastess}} and each of them have a route. [[MultipleEndings Due to the way the routes are written]], you can't [[RedStringOfFate connect to another character]] when you're already connected to someone.

After finding this out, they challenge the werewolves to a game of kickball(parodying [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Twilight]]) Nandor's human bodyguard/familiar, Guillermo, is jealous of this and tries to stop Nandor's heart from getting broken.

* Another example of this trope is Daniel Gonzalez's ''Ravencraft novels'', there’s a love triangle between vampire hunter Donovan Fort, his vampire girlfriend Lucilla and his werewolf colleague Laura Talbot.

* ''Music/TypeONegative'': The song ''Wolf Moon: Zoanthropic Paranoia'' resolves such a triangle in an interesting way. This gothic metal band’s frontman Peter Steele looks and sounds like a vampire, but in this song sings about drinking his lover’s [[{{Squick}} menstrual blood]] as a ''werewolf'' under a full moon.

* ''Series/HemlockGrove'': Zigzagged. Vampire Roman Godfrey and werewolf Peter Rumancek were already best friends ''before'' they met the human Miranda. When she convinces them to have a threeway with her, they both feel weird about it the next morning, but they're never shown fighting over her.

* Played totally straight in the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' series with Bella (human), Edward (vampire) and Jacob (werewolf). While nowhere near the first example of the trope, it is the first one most people will likely think of, possibly making it the TropeCodifier.

Usually also involves FeudingFamilies, FurAgainstFang, MalignedMixedMarriage, StarCrossedLovers, RomanticVampireBoy. Compare MuggleAndMagicalLoveTriangle, this trope's main competitor in the ParanormalRomance genre.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' features a rather unorthodox example in the episode ''Tyger, Tyger''. Selina Kyle is being fought over by Batman, [[CaptainObvious who's a man only dressed as a bat]], and a Were''cat''.
