1	Characters having BelligerentSexualTension in FanWorks.
2	----
3	[[AC:''Manga/{{Bleach}}'']]
4	* ''Fanfic/AProtectorsPride'': Ichigo has this to say when looking at [[{{Tsundere}} Hiyori]] and [[DeadpanSnarker Shinji's]] relationship.
5	--> '''Ichigo:''' (to Rose) "You know, it sounds like there's a lot of repressed sexual tension between them. Maybe that's why they fight – hoping for some good make-up sex?"\
6	'''Hiyori and Shinji:''' (kick Ichigo in the face while showing a LuminescentBlush) "Baka-Strawberry! [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend It's not like that.]]"\
7	'''Ichigo:''' "So quick to deny and you reacted so well in unison. It's like you're in tune with each other. Is anyone else here seeing what I am?"\
8	'''Lisa:''' (giggles) "Hey Shinji. You wanna borrow my manga? Might give you some ideas."\
9	'''Shinji:''' "No! I'm not into little whiny brats like her!"\
10	'''Hiyori:''' "Says the man who makes faces when he knows he's lost a verbal war!"\
11	'''Ichigo:''' "Definitely an [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple old married couple]]. They know each other way too well, push each other's buttons too easily. If they really hated each other, one of them would have killed the other by now. It's been over a hundred years of living together, for crying out loud. Betcha anything they don't act like that with other people normally."\
12	'''Rose:''' "He's got a point."\
13	'''Hiyori:''' "ROSE!"\
14	'''Love:''' "What? You only get that pissed off at Shinji, and we all know Shinji does those antics just to get a rise out of you."
15
16	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'']]
17	* As in the cartoon, Linka and Wheeler has a lot of tension in ''Fanfic/HeroesForEarth''. As a DeconstructionFic, it takes a dark turn in later chapters when Linka has been pressured by the villain for sexual favors, with Wheeler trying to respect her boundaries.
18
19	[[AC:''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'']]
20	* True to their canon portrayals, Cor and Aravis have heaps and heaps of this in ''FanFic/TheFledglingYear''. The author-created BetaCouple Corin and Hana get plenty, too.
21
22	[[AC:''Franchise/CodeGeass'']]
23	* ''FanFic/IceAndFire'': Lelouch vi Britannia and Kallen Stadtfeld--just like in the actual anime. Of course, everything is further complicated by the fact that Kallen is Zero while Lelouch is a prince/general in this continuity, but that doesn't stop his father from giving him advice on the matter (much to Lelouch's disbelief).
24
25	[[AC:Crossover]]
26	* ''FanFic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
27	** As Harry and Carol's relationship develops, they get occasional moments of this, most of which comes in the form of SnarkToSnarkCombat. Notably, from ''Ghosts of the Past'':
28	-->'''Harry''': HYDRA had it coming.\
29	'''Carol''': Yeah. [Their base] was offensive to my artistic sensibilities.\
30	'''Harry''': ''What'' artistic sensibilities?\
31	''[cue DeathGlare]''
32	** Ron and Hermione, as per canon, have this up the wazoo, to the point where Harry's usual response is to tone them out and consider locking them in a room together until they get over their {{UST}}.
33	* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'' (Franchise/CthulhuMythos & ''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion''): Shinji and Asuka had this kind of relationship for a while. He was an IdiotHero, and she was his {{Tsundere}} BattleCouple. However their arguments were more civil than in canon since he was less wimpy and she less short-tempered.
34	* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'' (''Series/DoctorWho'' & ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''): Shades of this between Literature/SherlockHolmes and [[WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury Beth Lestrade]]. The HotBlooded [[{{Tsundere}} Beth]] is quite aware of her feelings and [[EveryoneCanSeeIt doesn't exactly hide them]], but Holmes can't seem to figure his out, [[CannotSpitItOut let alone spit them out]]. Except for knowing that [[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem he doesn't want Beth to go]], even if he does [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage cuff her to cab doors and insult her dreadfully]].
35	* In ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'', this is the case between Rainbow Dash and Shatterstorm. [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Which is obvious to everypony.]]
36	* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'':
37	** Shinji and Asuka argued sometimes, although less often than in canon due to Shinji being more patient and less wimpy.
38	** On the other hand, Misato and Kaji argued nearly every time they met before reconciling.
39	* ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'' (''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' & ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''): Shoto and Weiss are busy being at each other's throats for their respective "privileged" upbringings. After Izuku helps the two of them resolve some of their differences, Weiss starts getting flustered around Shouto, particularly after he's forced to strip her naked to warm her up after she was caught in a blizzard.
40	* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'' (Franchise/TheDCU & ''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion''): At the beginning Shinji and Asuka argued due to their clashing personalities (Asuka was temperamental and strong-willed, and Shinji meek and wimpy. Often Asuka got angry with Shinji because he would not stand up for himself and apologized for everything without meaning it) and different ways to deal with their past very similar pains, even though they liked each other. However, as Asuka starts to try to live up to expectations her ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' role placed upon her, her temper gradually softens, and Shinji becomes more assertive, and their relationship progresses.
41	* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'' (''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' & ''Franchise/{{Warhammer}}''): Shinji and Asuka's first meeting consisted of arguing, snarking and peeping at each other when they thought that nobody was looking. Shinji loved taunting her as loving inwardly how beautiful, intelligent and passionate she was, and Asuka tried to hit him as developing a crush on him. Their relationship was scarily similar to ''[[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji and Sayaka]]'''s one.
42	-->'''Misato''':''"Alright, fun is fun, but now is the time to put this behind you and shut up. Now, Asuka, stop trying to kill Shinji, and Shinji, stop encouraging her to try."''
43
44	[[AC:''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'']]
45	* Asa and Yoko in ''Fanfic/FutariWaPrettyCureBlueMoon'' fit this, although they're both tsundere--they only tsun around each other. Even in the beginning of the series, when Asa is scared stiff of [[DefrostingIceQueen "Ice Queen Nakayama"]], they start bickering practically OncePerEpisode. Late in the series, though, they argue less and start to get along more.
46
47	[[AC:''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'']]
48	* ''Fanfic/ImGivingYouANightCall'': Ed and Roy argue and tease each other fiercely but are still attracted to each other despite their break-up.
49
50	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'']]
51	* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': Rodan shows signs of having this with [[AdaptationalHeroism Monster X]] (a TwoBeingsOneBody San and Vivienne Graham). Rodan desires to fight Monster X again (a desire which San reciprocates), and Vivienne gradually grows fond of Rodan whilst still regarding him as a jackass.
52
53	[[AC: ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivationMoDaoZuShi'' / ''Series/TheUntamed'']]
54	* ''Fanfic/GoldPoisons'': Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue have this going on in the first half of the fic. The latter does not want to be attracted to the former, but is despite himself. Jin Guangyao, meanwhile, is mostly just trying to egg Nie Mingjue on.
55
56	[[AC:''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
57	* In ''FanFic/TheMalfoySeries'', Draco's obsession with taunting Harry stems from more than just rivalry.
58	* ''FanFic/{{Rebuilt}}'': Harry and Voldemort's relationship eventually becomes this.
59	* ''FanFic/ASnakeNamedVoldemort'': Between Harry and Tom/Voldemort, although the sexual tension only starts once the belligerence stops (mostly).
60
61	[[AC:''Literature/TheHungerGames'']]
62	* In ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'', {{Tsundere}} [[TheHero Vale]] and [[PrivilegedRival District One's]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Obsidian]] have BST, though it's mainly on Vale's side.
63
64	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]
65	* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'': Zim and Gaz clearly have feelings for each other, but spend most of their time arguing and fighting due to being in denial about it.
66	* In both ''Fanfic/MyHostageNotYours'' and [[Fanfic/ReMyHostageNotYours its remake]], Zim and Gaz move into this trope as they become more attracted to each other, yet they continue to constantly bicker over everything.
67
68	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'']]
69	* In ''Fanfic/BadInfluence'', Jetta and Roxy have this sort of relationship. They fight over Pizzazz and squabble over each other, but at the same time they tend to make-out a lot as well.
70	* In ''Fanfic/LastingFame'', Minx and Techrat have a voltaile relationship due to their contrasting personalities.
71
72	[[AC:''Franchise/KungFuPanda'']]
73	* In ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson'', Tai Lung and Tigress take this trope and run with it for more than half the fic, which is, incidentally, one ''hell'' of a {{Doorstopper}}.
74
75	[[AC:''Literature/TheLockedTomb'']]
76
77	* ''Fanfic/ItsAboutTheBones'': In-universe. Ortus' poem about Matthias Nonius includes a lot of suggestive language between him and a Lyctor he's fighting, to Harrow's disgust. That Lyctor was in fact Gideon the First, who is now training Harrow, and Ortus got a lot closer to the truth than anyone realized.
78	-->(There's this part in the Noniad, book five, that goes something like ' ''I am the Emperor's Hand; do not you persist in this combat; matchless am I with the long blade, etc etc'', [loved your work, Ortus but goddamn], ''Nonius, wounded full sore, spat blood and gave him a grim smile; nor did the sword in his hand shake. Boldly he answered the saint'' –'\
79	And by this point, Harrow, you were ordinarily in the Throes, and I nodding along gravely with all my brain cells turned off, but ''that'' time you guys had this snitty argument about how Matthias Nonius never ''actually'' fought a Lyctor, and why was Ortus writing this close combat so ''suggestively'', anyway, and you challenged him to a duel wherein both of you somehow claimed to be fighting for the sake of Nonius's honor in the middle of my damn study, and neither of you let that argument die until the day Ortus did.\
80	You won the battle by default, but would have lost the war. This is the one man in the world who could tell you truly that you fight like Nonius come again - like gravity itself changes its rules for you.\
81	Say what you will about Gideon the First, but he has ''dangerous'' taste in caliginous flings. It's like stress relief for him, I guess. Chalk that one up for Ortus, the man knew a rivals-to-lovers arc when he saw one.)
82
83	[[AC:''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'']]
84	* {{Subverted\|Trope}} in [[http://dorksidefiker.livejournal.com/148547.html That Damn Mpreg]]. {{Jerkass}} Bruce Jameson (son of She-Hulk and John Jameson) believes his has this kind of relationship with {{Tsundere}} Rebecca Altman-Kaplan (daughter of ComicBook/{{Young Avengers}} Wiccan and Hulkling). In reality, she wants nothing to do with him and ends up with one of their {{Badass Normal}} teammates instead.
85
86	[[AC:''Franchise/MyLittlePony'']]
87	* In ''Fanfic/{{Antecedent}}'', it gets to the point that Raindrop and Sentinel will willingly smack each other around and regularly insult one another. They are both fully aware of what they really mean but they have gotten so used to doing it that way they don't bother changing.
88	* In ''FanFic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'', [[CoolOldGuy Commander Hurricane]] and [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Clover the Clever]] seemed to [[SlapSlapKiss constantly bicker in half-genuine arguements/half-play]] constantly. [[RelationshipUpgrade And then they get married]], [[EveryoneCanSeeIt to nopony's surprise]].
89	* ''Fanfic/ChangelingCourtshipRituals'': Due to some BlueAndOrangeMorality, this is standard for changelings; everything is about domination, and that includes courtship. Chrysalis thought that Twilight unmasking her in "A Canterlot Wedding" was an invitation to start dating, and their years of constant back and forth battles where they tried to kill each other were extremely romantic. The fic starts with Twilight accidentally marrying Chrysalis because she thought the proposal Chrysalis sent, where Chrysalis expressed her desire to "squeeze tight and never let go," was just another threat. Funnily enough, there is almost no belligerent tension in the fic itself; after they're married, Chrysalis becomes a doting wife and has a great deal of difficulty arguing with Twilight on even the smallest things.
90	-->'''Chrysalis:''' I don't like fighting with you. It's no fun when it's real.
91	* ''Fanfic/ADanceOnTheMats'': Rainbow Dash and Anon are sparring partners, with the latter beating the former almost every time. Rainbow Dash feels both humiliated by Anon, but also a need to impress him, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt something her friends are all too aware of]].
92
93	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
94	* In ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'':
95	** Mei and Zabuza. The former acts very flirtatious to him (more than usual, in any case) and goes to great lengths to recruit him for her cause, while the latter is very angry for having to follow her orders and play second fiddle to her. [[spoiler:By the time of the Hidan and Kakuzu arc, [[OfficialCouple they've become an item]], and Mei is pregnant with their first child.]]
96	** Kiba and Tamaki have been constantly arguing since they day they met back in the academy [[CatDogDichotomy due to their preferences in animals]], and all of their friends (sans the ever oblivious Naruto) have picked up on the subtext. [[spoiler:They don't actually get together until during a brief lull in the final battle after a full eight years of being at each other's throats.]]
97
98	[[AC:''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
99	* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Subverted. Before hooking up Shinji and Asuka often fought and argued despite being clearly drawn to each other. Eventually they got together but they don't want anybody knowing, so they pretend their relationship is still stuck in that stage.
100	* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': The tension between Shinji and Asuka was due to their inability to acknowledge and express their feelings –and realize each other’s--and their fear of others. After Asuka got pregnant they still fought for a while, but Shinji gradually tried to be more courageous and Asuka slowly tried to open herself a bit, and they finally got together.
101	* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Reinforced. Asuka and several characters repeatedly tell Shinji that if he wants his relationship with Asuka progressing he must stop being a wimp and push back when she pushes.
102	-->'''Ching''': ''"So you flirted with him, kicked his ass, and then ran away? Good Lord, you ''are'' doing the kindergarten routine."''
103	* ''Manga/Evangelion303'': Shinji and Asuka fought and argued several times during the three first chapters. Asuka was angry at the rookie who had arrived, threatened her top pilot position and managed beating her; however she was strongly attracted to him, too. And Shinji did not know what thinking of that beautiful woman that first beams at him and later punches him (or climbs into his bed shortly after declaring that she wants to destroy him). In chapter 4 they began to get along, in chapter 5 they became lovers, [[spoiler: and in chapter 13 they're officially engaged]].
104	-->''[[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/907904/032/ Kensuke]]'':''"For getting beat up by women this much, shouldn’t you be sleeping with at least one of them?"''
105	* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': Although they resolved it several years before the beginning of the story, Shinji and Asuka still indulge in some good bickering every so often, such like [[spoiler:after the Final Battle when Asuka complained about Shinji getting her knocked up again.]]
106	* ''Fanfic/HigherLearning'': At the beginning of the story Shinji and Asuka argue a lot and are unwilling to admit their feelings at each other. Gradually the tension between they mellows down, they get together around chapter 5 they got together, and their relationship becomes more civil. They start to act like ''[[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji and Sayaka]]'' rather ''[[Literature/{{Slayers}} Lina and Gourry]]'', and they still fight every so often, but their arguments are more good-natured.
107	* ''Fanfic/LongTimeNoSee'': Asuka does not like Hanako, Toji and Hikari's daughter, because she is always picking on her son Kenji. Shinji suggests that is because she actually likes him.
108	* At the beginning of ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'' things are still unsteady between Asuka and Shinji after the events of the series, with her resenting him because he never helped her when she needed him, and him frustrated with her because he thought he would never have a chance to understand her as he believed she would not open up to him. Their fights and arguments becomes increasingly bitter and angrier until Asuka moves out... upon which they both gradually come to the realization that that they miss each other. They eventually patch things up, and although they still argue, their arguments are remarkably more civil, eventually culminating in a RelationshipUpgrade.
109	* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeelingCrazy88'': Asuka/Shinji. It was there in the series, but it has increased due to Shinji having a better insight into Asuka's feelings and emotions. Amusingly, they actually ''enjoy'' trading barbs back and forth, Shinji because of his affection for Asuka, Asuka because she believes to have found a [[WorthyOpponent worthy]] [[TheRival rival]] in Shinji.
110	* ''Fanfic/TheOneILoveIs'': At the beginning Shinji and Asuka fight a lot even though they are clearly drawn to each other. However Rei starts to actively pursue Shinji and show her affection openly, forcing Asuka to try to show her softer, nicer side openly. As a result of it their relationship becomes calmer and stronger.
111	* ''Fanfic/OrchestratingTheSilence'': Shinji and Asuka spend several weeks stuck in a "bickering->fighting->avoiding each other->missing each other->making up->bickering" cycle until they get finally get together.
112	* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' subverts the trope. Living on their own had helped Shinji and Asuka grow past this point, but [[PeggySue when they return to the past]], they try enacting this trope to avoid arousing suspicion. The key word there is '''Try'''.
113
114	[[AC:''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'']]
115	* In most fanfics, this is basically the default setting of Kyoko/Sayaka--two massive {{Tsundere}}s battling head-to-head for dominance. In particular, ''FanFic/AHappyDream'', probably the most popular story to focus on the pairing, loves this trope.
116
117	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'']]
118	* In ''Fanfic/OldWest'', [[UnscrupulousHero Rattlesnake Jake]] and [[DeterminedHomesteader Grace Glossy]] start out on hostile terms, for the notorious outlaw represents everything the law-abiding farmer detests. However, Sheriff Rango forces Jake to protect Grace's property and son. As they get to know each other and realize they're not that different after all, they gradually develop feelings for each other and eventually start a relationship, but even then their different viewpoints in regards to the law bring them into conflict with each other.
119
120	[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
121	* ''Fanfic/RubyAndNora'': Qrow and Daisy have a ''lot'' of this. That said, it’s implied that Qrow may have genuinely loved her, [[spoiler: and is devastated when she died]].
122
123	[[AC:''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
124	* In ''[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-young-wolf-victorious-an-asoiaf-starkwank.256347/ The Young Wolf Victorious]]'', this is how the relationship between Robb Stark and [[spoiler:Asha Greyjoy]] is portrayed. Their wedding night begins with furious taunting, continues with weapon fighting that destroys half the furniture, and leading into frenzied coitus. The following morning, Robb is bruised and scratched up, while [[spoiler:Asha]] has a black eye and a scuffed chin.
125
126	[[AC:''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'']]
127	* In ''Fanfic/PrisonIslandBreak'', Sonic and Shadow have this smeared all over them, despite both being straight. Shadow starts having dreams. Eventually Shadow is so desperate to be rid of it that he tells Sonic he needs to vent it all off in a fierce make-out session with Sonic as the dominant.
128
129	[[AC:''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'']]
130	* Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'' has Kara Zor-El and Dev-Em, who argue constantly because of their different personalities and outlooks (she's a kind-hearted idealist, he's a pragmatic jerkass) in spite of being attracted each other. It isn't until Dev risks his life to save people Kara confesses her feelings.
131
132	[[AC:''Manga/WanderingSon'']]
133	* In ''Fanfic/{{Jigsaw}}'', Saori and Takatsuki get along like fire and ice but Takatsuki still has feelings for Saori.
134
135	[[AC:''ComicBook/XMen'']]
136	* Between [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers]] and ComicBook/JeanGrey in ''Fanfic/XMenTheEarlyYears''. Their teammates consider their fights "entertainment".
137	-->'''Sue:''' Hank can I ask you a question?\
138	'''Hank:''' Yes?\
139	'''Sue:''' Are those two going to kill each other or start ripping each other's clothes off?\
140	'''Hank:''' I don't think the two of them have it figured out yet.
141
142	[[AC:''Anime/YuriOnIce'']]
143	* ''FanFic/RivalsSeries'': One-sided, as Yuuri fiercely hates Viktor and subconsciously in love with him. Which he expresses by snipping at Viktor and attempting to pop Viktor's massive ego. On Viktor's part, he doesn't hate Yuuri at all, initially misinterprets Yuuri's competivess as flirting and wonders how to get Yuuri to be a little nicer.
