History ShipperOnDeck / FanWorks

** Oliver is rather annoyed by it, noting that Diggle (and the team in general) tend to be dismissive towards Laurel and his feelings to her.
** Laurel is also ''uncomfortably'' aware, but [[spoiler:after Oliver reassures her that his feelings are genuine and they resume their relationship is largely unconcerned. Apparently concluding that if Diggle (or anyone else) has a problem with them dating, that's ''his'' problem]].

* ''Fanfic/NotTheIntendedUseZantetsukenReverse'': Soma and Mina are not dating, but [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone thinks they have romantic feelings for each other]] as much as they [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny it]]. Among those who are actively encouraging them to get together are [[CoolOldGuy Julius]], [[FriendInTheBlackMarket Hammer]],[[OurGhostsAreDifferent Leon]], and [[TeamMom Kazuya]].

[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}]]

* In ''Fanfic/TeachersOutsideOfTheClassroom'', Mrs. Roop at the end hopes Molly McGee reciprocates Libby crush at the end of the story.

* Deconstructed during the ''Enough Rope'' arc of the ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'':
** Lila exploits Alya's love of [=LadyNoir=] by claiming Chat Noir told her he was going to stage a LoveConfession during an upcoming fair. Despite ''knowing'' about Lila's supposed '[[BlatantLies lying disease]]', Alya gleefully posts the exclusive news on her Ladyblog, flooding the event with would-be gawkers and shippers eager to catch sight of the heroes... and focusing Hawkmoth's attention there. Ladybug later [[WhatTheHellHero calls Alya out]] on her SkewedPriorities, spelling out how she put hundreds of innocent civilians at risk.
** Marinette also points out to her classmates how ''incredibly manipulative'' it would be for Chat Noir to stage a public confession despite already '''knowing''' that his partner isn't interested in a RelationshipUpgrade, and that such a stunt might convince her to take the Ring away from him in order to put an end to the harassment.

** "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3933246/1/Law-and-Disorder Law and Disorder]]" has Kim being accused of theft by Professor Dementor and sent to prison, with one of her cellmates being [=DNAmy=]. When Kim ends up admitting to Amy and Tiny (another former hero currently in prison) that she's stressed out about recent news that Bonnie is putting the moves on Josh Mankey and Ron has a date with Tara that weekend, both of the other women observe that she's basically already dating ''Ron''.

* In ''Fanfic/BeyondTheOuterGateLies'', a crossover between ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' and ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'', Lash strongly supports Harry in romancing both Sona and Tsubasa, gleefully encouraging him to start a harem. This gets even worse in a continuation fic by a different author that adds Reya and Serafall to the mix. Harry himself is romantically interested in all the girls, but is hampered both by his mental age (he arrived in the Dxd world in a teenage body but retains his original mind from when he was well into his 40's) and his previous relationship history.

** Gaara notices how happy Temari is whenever Shikamaru is present. When the latter is leaving Suna alongside Naruto, Gaara encourages his sister to properly say goodbye to Shikamaru, making Temari realizes that her feelings must have been quite obvious.

** Misty's Psyduck frequently encourages her to "mate" with Ash, and her Gyarados later agrees, Ash's dedication to her and his courage having himpressed him. Several characters, like the Team Rocket trio, [[TheRival Paul]] and Giselle assumed that Misty was Ash's girlfriend upon seeing them together. Meanwhile, Iris admits to being attracted to Ash, but she makes it clear she wouldn't mind [[{{polyamory}} sharing him with Misty]], and is shown to be quite happy when they share romantic moments.

** At the end of the Jeanette Interlude, A.J's Sandslash and Jeanette's Bellsprout quickly pick up their trainers have become attracted to one another, and agree to help them get together during a special occasion during Valentine's Day or Christmas.

** Naruto and Hinata themselves ship Shikamaru with [[spoiler:Kurotsuchi]], with the two of them teasing their teammate over his feelings towards her. Even his parents already assume before meeting her that she's his girlfriend when he invites her for dinner.

* Commonly [[FandomSpecificPlot targeted for]] [[DeconstructionFic demolition and deconstruction]] in ''ML'' fanworks, particularly those that don't support the Love Square. The amount of pressure Marinette is under to keep pursuing Adrien [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption despite numerous failures]] [[HumiliationConga and embarrassments]] ''and'' public pressure for Ladybug and Chat Noir to hook up despite her reluctance tends to be highlighted in such works.

-->'''Pearl:''' "Um, Pink apparently saw Yellow Pearl and Blue Pearl laughing about something during Court and became convinced that they were secretly a couple and started drawing pictures like that and writing stories about them in her spare time... which she unfortunately had A LOT of at that point.

* in ''Fanfic/TheLostCause'', Nie Huaisang rather likes the idea of Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen together.

* ''Fanfic/ConnectingTheDots'': During a press conference involving Manga/{{Naruto}} and [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse Superman]], Hinata nervously asks Lois several questions about whether the latter ever feels small, umimportant, nervous, daunted, or just not good enough. Lois doesn't understand why Hinata is asking her all those questions until she notices the way the Hyuga girl is looking at Naruto, to which the reporter says "Ooh. ''That's'' what you were talking about." Hinata tries to deny what Lois is implying, only for the latter to reply that the former can't fool a reporter.

** In turn, Naruto and Hinata ship Shikamaru with [[spoiler:Kurotsuchi]], with the two of them teasing their teammate for his feelings towards her. Even his parents already assume before meeting her that she's his girlfriend when he invites her for dinner.
