20
21	[[AC:''Manga/BlueExorcist'']]
22	* In the fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9515318/1/Memories-of-You Memories of You]]'', the back story of the first major arc reveals that the Kamiki family got its start from a pair of them. [[spoiler: The ultimate grandmother of the family met and helped a Kitsune when she was a little girl. The Kitsune later turned into a human and ended up marrying her when she was older. They had a daughter and managed to live happily for a time, but a zealous ex-suitor of the woman killed her and framed her Kitsune husband for it, before killing him. This resulted in the Kitsune cursing the family, driven to possess the eldest daughter of the family every generation in his quest for revenge. The only way to halt it is for one of the people closest to the eldest daughter must ''kill'' her to halt the possession. This resulted in ''another'' StarCrossedLovers in the past, as one of the victims of the curse had to convince her lover to kill her, which eventually let to him committing suicide. Aside from that [[OfficialCouple Rin and Izumo]] know very well that there are a lot of people out there determined to turn them into this, starting with the Vatican; all because Rin happens to be the [[AntiAntiChrist Son]] of {{Satan}} and thus they don't want him to have a relationship with a girl that could result in a child. [[spoiler: And now [[BetaCouple Yukio and Paku]] might very well join them in that struggle, as, like his brother, the Vatican don't want Yukio to breed.]]
23
24	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'']]
25	* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'':
26	** Applies to Mittens and Berlioz in “The Paris Trip.” The two cats hit it off well, culminating in their having sex the night before Mittens is to return home. Mittens cannot remain behind, however, because she would have no place to live in Paris; Berlioz cannot stay with his owner because the building where he lives does not allow cats, and he unofficially resides at the jazz club where his owner performs (and only because he's grandfathered in). They emotionally bid farewell to each other just before Mittens leaves for the United States.
27	** Describes Bolt and Mary in “The Wind.” Their relationship starts off promisingly, but soon goes sour when Mary proves unable to shake her [[DrugsAreBad substance abuse addictions]]. She eventually runs off to the city, and Bolt's attempt to rescue her proves unsuccessful.

29	[[AC:''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'']]
30	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11055427/1/ Never the Twain Shall Meet]]'': [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the title suggests]], this fanfiction tells a story about how a couple, namely [[spoiler:Touma and Saten]], would never become happy together. [[spoiler:Othinus]] said that [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight In the original world, they never meet each other]]. In the "alternate world" created by [[spoiler:Othinus after altering the past events regarding Saten]], everyone in Academy City bar few individuals such as Uiharu and Frenda are against [[spoiler:Saten]] having a romatic relationship with [[spoiler:Touma]] despite both [[spoiler:Touma and Saten]] genuinely care for each other, not to mention [[spoiler:Saten Ruiko]] [[TheManyDeathsOfYou would always die in various "scenarios"]] and [[spoiler:Touma]] not being able to save [[spoiler:her]]. [[HopeSpot When it seems that their relationship would last]], [[spoiler:[[YankTheDogsChain Saten had to die again]]]] to [[spoiler: [[MakingTheChoiceForYou save "her Touma" from]] SadisticChoice and destroy Othinus' gambit, which ends in Touma and Othinus returning to the "original world" where Saten lost all her memories about her past life as Touma's girlfriend]].

After many long and agonizing trials, Saten finally manages to [[EarnYourHappyEnding get her happy ending with Touma]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11497910/1/ in the sequel fic]]]].

32	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'']]
33	* In ''[[Fanfic/DanganronpaTheImmersiveLearningProgram Danganronpa: Academy of Discontent]]'', Junko eventually feels this way about herself and Shuichi. After spending so long flirting with him and trying to seduce him, he eventually starts to come around and return her feelings. But their motive videos given to them by Monokuma reveal that [[spoiler:they are both already in a relationship with someone else. Shuichi's motive revealed he had a girlfriend, Kaede Akamatsu, and Junko had a boyfriend named Yasuke Matsuda. When Junko tells Shuichi about this, she feels it might be easier for both of them if Shuichi ''wasn't'' interested in her and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy preferred one of the other girls at the Academy or even Kaede despite not remembering her]], expecting for it to be the end of their "relationship". Though Shuichi surprises her by showing that he still prefers her over all other choices by pulling her into a kiss. Unfortunately, he ends up dying in the fourth chapter trying to free their classmates from the Immersive Learning Program]].
34	* ''Fanfic/OrDidItEatTheLittleGirl'': Near the climax, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Himiko's past self]] {{exploited\|Trope}} this concept, convincing [[spoiler:Tenko]] that their respective characters should have a preexisting relationship in order to make them seem more appealing.
35

37	* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6909383/1/I_love_thee I Love Thee]]'', L says this to Misa. [[spoiler:And with good reason.

41
42	[[AC:''Franchise/DragonBall'']]
43	* Any ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' fanfiction that features Trunks and Pan as the main pairing.
44	* The fanfic ''Tenshi and Akuma'' casts Bulma and Vegeta as an angel and demon, [[AngelDevilShipping who naturally fall in love]].
45	* ''Fanfic/WhatIfRaditzTurnedGood'': {{Downplayed}} with Ranch and Trunks, who have a SlapSlapKiss dynamic as kids. Vegeta initially doesn't approve of ''his'' son hanging out with Raditz's daughter, but eventually mellows out.
46
47	[[AC:''Franchise/FinalFantasy'']]
48	* A [[FandomSpecificPlot common plotline]] in the fairly obscure ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles1'' fandom is that if the Tipa (default name for the player's hometown) caravan includes a [[MsFanservice female Selkie]], she will bond with the Selkie researcher De Nam during the Tipa caravan's first visit to the Yuke citadel of Shella and be the caravanner who replies to his letters, only to suffer a broken heart a few years later when De Nam's effort to [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity adapt to the miasma]] ends in [[spoiler:her caravan coming to Conall Curach for a drop of myrrh at the bidding of De Nam's final letter, only to find that one of the monsters that the caravan kills drops [[TragicKeepsake De Nam's bandana]], thus revealing that he has been killed by monsters in-between his last letter and the Tipa caravan's arrival]].
49
50	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'']]
51	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10600980/1/Broken-Mirror Broken Mirror]]'', a ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' one-shot, replaces Gerda and Kai in the original story with Elsa and [[spoiler:Hans, respectively]]. Both of them met as [[ChildhoodFriendRomance children, fell in love as adolescents]], and felt a mutual connection in the fact that both had been treated as the [[BlackSheep odd one out]] within their respective families - [[spoiler:Hans for being the youngest of thirteen sons]] and Elsa for having ice powers. But a mirror with the power of erasing memories tore the two apart. Years later, when the two meet again, things are not same, because she is now a queen and [[spoiler:he is now a frozen-hearted prince (partly because some of the mirror's magical shards pierced Hans' heart, turning him into a cold and cynical man), thus setting the events of ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013''. Elsa even felt sad as to how he didn't recognize her and even wondered if Hans remembered the friendship they had when they were children. And though both reconcile in the end, it results in a DownerEnding with both Hans and Elsa wondering if they'll ever meet again and rekindle their tragic and failed love for each other.]]
52
53	[[AC:''Literature/GoodOmens'']]
54	* ''Fanfic/PrayForUsIcarus'' is about Crowley suddenly becoming human and him and the still-immortal Aziraphale constantly falling in love with each other [[ReincarnationRomance over multiple reincarnations]] only to be torn apart every time. By the third time Aziraphale's been forced to part from Crowley, he's grown so heartbroken that he decides that staying far away from Crowley's future reincarnations is the best possible outcome for them.
55	* The 2019 TV series has Aziraphale and Crowley meeting Shakespeare, and Crowley inspiring a line in one of the plays. Fans have taken it further by suggesting that Shakespeare based ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' on them, with Heaven and Hell the feuding families.
56
57	[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
58	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13733306/1/Breaking-the-Window Breaking the Window]]'' sees Hermione, from just after the Battle of Hogwarts, form a relationship with Bellatrix Black from thirty years in the past, the two brought together through a 'fairy window' in a lake in the Forbidden Forest, initially only able to use it to talk to each other before they find a way to travel through it directly.
59	* There's a fanfic ''But You Alone'' which is based on Tristan and Isolde, featuring a star-crossed love that destroys the lives of everyone involved. The author pulled the story from the internet, so it's now quite hard to find. [[spoiler: Harry and Hermione are engaged, but she has doubts. A chance encounter leads to Hermione and Snape falling ''madly'' in love with each other, but he then harshly rejects her, thinking that she deserves better. She returns to her fiance. Just before the wedding, Snape realises he can't live without her and tries to rush to her side to explain, only to be attacked by a rogue Death Eater and end up in a coma until after she's already married (and she now hates him and thinks he hates her). Finally they realise their mistakes and start having an affair... the suspicion of which begins to drive Harry insane with paranoia and jealousy. [[FromBadToWorse Things get worse from there.]] If you're familiar with the story of Tristan and Isolde [[DownerEnding you can already tell how this is going to end.]] ]]
60
61	[[AC:''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'']]
62	* A rather popular clichè in Hungary/Prussia fanfiction is to have them being separated when she becomes one half of [[ArrangedMarriage the Austro-Hungarian Compromise]], but still having feelings for each other that they must hide for obvious reasons. (Bonus if [[OfficialCouple Hungary's canon husband Austria]] is subjected to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater treatments to make Prussia look as a better option).
63	* Conversely, Austria/Hungary fics set in the UsefulNotes/ColdWar has them fulfilling this trope as she's a member of the Eastern Bloc while he's on the other side of it. They remain separated until the fall of communism.
64	** And then there's also Prussia/Austria fanfics set during the Cold War where Prussia (now East Germany) is kept behind the Berlin Wall and Austria, who is not governed by the Soviet reach of Communism, is separated from him for years. There is also the interpretation that Prussia "dies" after his country is dissolved after [=WW2=] and Austria is again separated from him in "death". Grouped with the aforementioned are fics where Austria is married to Hungary (either in canon or AU) and carries on a heated affair/romance with [[DracoInLeatherPants Prussia]] - poor Hungary is often subject to RonTheDeathEater treatment in these. And finally, there are those fanfictions set during the second world war where Austria (Roderich) is Jewish and Prussia (Gilbert) is either a civilian or a Nazi who is [[DomesticAbuser obsessed with him]]. Needless to say, [[FromBadToWorse things often don't end too well.]]
65	* There's also France and [[spoiler:Joan of Arc]] in {{fanon}}, crossing to [[spoiler:MayflyDecemberRomance]].
66
67	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'']]
68	* The fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8646259/1/How-to-Zing How to Zing]]'' has Dracula and Martha. He's a Vampire, she's a Human. They play this trope straight until the very end, when they decide they love each other too much to let their differences get in the way. It works better when Martha becomes a Vampire like him. But of course, anyone who's seen the film will know that things didn't end too well for them...
69
70	[[AC:''Literature/TheHungerGames'']]
71	* Creator/SetaSuzume has Mags falls in love with Jack Umber, a victor from District 1, and they have a stillborn child together. A WhatCouldHaveBeen story [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption reveals that if their son had lived, he would have been reaped as a tribute twelve years later and died anyway]].
72	* This trope pops up (rather inevitably) in the fanfic ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'' with [[spoiler:Vale and Obsidian]]. Both ''really'' wish that they could have met outside of the context of the Hunger Games and realize that their relationship is bound to end in tragedy. [[spoiler:It does.]]
73
74	[[AC:''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'']]
75	* ''Fanfic/InSottoVoce'':
76	** Zelda and Impa are in a SecretRelationship. Their romance is forbidden both because it's a same-gender romance and because Zelda is the heir to the Hylian throne. Hylians are homophobic, while Sheikah forbid romances between Sheikah and the queen because it poses a threat to their throne (as in, there might not be an heir). It's unknown what will happen to Zelda and Impa's romance in the end.
77	** [[spoiler:Zelda and Impa's mothers]] learned this trope the hard way when they fell in love. They were split apart as a result. [[spoiler:The previous Zelda]] was forced into an ArrangedMarriage, but it didn't work out and she was DrivenToSuicide when her daughter was still very young. [[spoiler:Tikala]] never loved anyone after [[spoiler:Zelda]], and conceived her child through a fling, but eventually everything came back to haunt her [[spoiler:when Zelda's jealous former bodyguard Kishla killed her years later]].
78
79	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
80	* PlayedWith in ''Fanfic/JulekaVsTheForcesOfTheUniverse'': Said forces of the universe actually ''want'' Marinette and Adrien to get together... but are hellbent upon making Marinette '''suffer''' as she's [[invoked]] StrangledByTheRedString. After accidentally learning both of their {{Secret Identit\|y}}ies, [[SecretSecretKeeper Juleka]] realizes just how toxic their dynamic is and sets out to ScrewDestiny by defying Fate's will.
81	* ''Fanfic/OneStepBackwardsAndThreeForwards'': After they [[FaceHeelTurn betrayed the other heroes]], Hawkmoth rewarded Alya and Nino by letting each of them in on the [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy reality-warping]] Wish. Nino Wished that he and Alya could be together forever. However, the vengeful kwami [[JerkassGenie twisted this around]] in order to punish them both: the two [[ExactWords keep crossing paths]], often stumbling across each other at inconvenient times. Over time, it becomes painfully clear that while Nino [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regrets what they did]], Alya [[NeverMyFault refuses to admit she did anything wrong]], [[IRejectYourReality rejecting reality]]. By the time the TimeSkip rolls along, [[spoiler:they've broken up, and Nino joined the military, training in anticipation of the day where Fate will make them cross paths again and he'll have to stop Alya from doing further harm himself]].
82	* ''Fanfic/LePapillonRising'': Basically ''everyone'' who gets together in this faces romantic woes, but Adrien and Marinette are hit especially hard, as their relationship is heavily hampered by how Adrien is secretly the titular villain, unaware that Marinette is Ladybug... and ''very much aware'' that he's been seducing her as both Adrien and Papillon.
83	* ''Fanfic/TwoLetters'':
84	** In order to placate Nino after he [[WrongAssumption wrongly assumed]] that she was having a secret affair with Chat Noir, Alya revealed to him that she was still active as Rena Furtive. This proved to be the death knell for her friendship with Marinette, who considered this an [[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable betrayal]] of her trust. All of Alya's efforts to stay with Nino were ultimately [[AllForNothing rendered moot]] when [[SketchySuccessor the new Ladybug]] destroyed Alya's reputation; the Lahiffes moved away, and their efforts to maintain a LongDistanceRelationship fell apart.
85	** PlayedWith when it comes to Adrien, who transferred his EntitledToHaveYou attitude from Ladybug to Marinette... unaware that [[LovesMyAlterEgo they're the same person]]. Despite Marinette rather decisively rejecting him when she [[spoiler:helped Ladybug strip him of the Black Cat Ring]], as well as her [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling him out]] for his [[ItsAllAboutMe extremely self-serving attitude]] -- and how she's happily dating Luka -- Adrien heavily hints that he intends to continue pursuing her.
86	* ''Fanfic/WeightOffYourShoulder'' puts a dark twist on this: Bunnyx/Future!Alix is a ShipperOnDeck convinced that Marinette and Adrien would make the ultimate power couple. But both of them are LovingAShadow, with Adrien being prone to SelectiveObliviousness and AllTakeAndNoGive, while Marinette is steadily breaking down under [[ComesGreatResponsibility the weight of all her responsibilities]]. Rather than trying to ''address'' any of these issues through encouraging CharacterDevelopment, Bunnyx is hellbent upon forcing them together by [[TimeTravelingJerkass twisting the timeline]] -- even after watching their relationship fall apart or result in disaster in one BadFuture after another, she insists that it ''WILL'' work out -- she'll ''make it'' work out, BecauseDestinySaysSo! (And by Destiny, she means [[ItsAllAboutMe herself]].)
87
88	[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
89	* ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndEmerald'':
90	** Kiyome and Kei's parents didn't want their kids dating, and refuse to allow them to get married.
91	** Rumi jokes that Izuku and Shouto are suffering from "''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' syndrome", unaware that Endeavor actually ''does'' have a grudge against Inko and doesn't want Shouto to have anything to do with her son.
92	* {{Invoked\|Trope}} by members of the online community ''Fanfic/{{Dekugate}}''. According to them, Yagi Toshinori/All Might can't be with his true love David Shields because the evil, homophobic [[OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness Hero Commission]] ''forced'' him into a sham marriage with Parakeet, all because they believed gay couples aren't marketable enough and wanted to set up his son as their next "product". They even deny the notion that Izuku is ''biologically'' Toshinori's child, insisting that he was hired to play the role of his son. In reality, Toshinori is HappilyMarried and openly bisexual, but the members of Dekugate [[NoBisexuals insist that doesn't count]].
93
94	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
95	* Several fanfics pairing Twilight and Trixie makes use of this trope: Trixie cannot give up her itinerant lifestyle (because being a traveling performer is her destiny) in order to stay in Ponyville, and Twilight cannot possibly leave her friends in Ponyville behind to go with her.
96	* ''[[Fanfic/BrideOfDiscord Daughter Of Discord]]''[[note]]The sequel to ''Bride of Discord''[[/note]] has one between the titular daughter of Discord (and Fluttershy) Screwball and Mothball, the son of [[BigBad Queen Chrysalis]].
97
98	[[AC:''Literature/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected'']]
99	* Done interestingly in the fanfiction ''Fanfic/TheEndOfTheAffair''. Although it is pretty much stated that Hachiman and Yukino have feelings for each other what keeps them apart isn't so much the external problems as each of their respective cynicism and [[SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids way of living]] that prevents either from even admitting an attraction to each other. Of course there are plenty of external problems [[spoiler:such as Yukino already being married (albeit a loveless one)]] but it's generally made clear that the only reason those problems even occurred was because the both of them refused to act on their feelings from the beginning and even then it's implied that they could work through those problems if the both of them were willing to try but ultimately their internal issues prove to be every bit as effective at keeping them apart as the external ones. Hachiman himself refuses to consider him and Yukino to be this due to the fact that they never actually got involved at all despite their mutual attraction.
100
101	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
102	* ''Fanfic/LittleUzumaki'' features a FountainOfYouth which Sakura has repeatedly fallen victim to, being physically and mentally regressed every time she drinks out of its water. Before her third fateful encounter with it, she was dating Hyuuga Akira. Her parents had tried to [[LoveObstructingParents warn him away]]; after learning that she'd been deaged ''again'', her father remarks that he should have instead encouraged Akira to knock her up, as he suspects [[IWantGrandkids she won't be giving them grandkids otherwise]].
103
104	[[AC:''Film/OmenIVTheAwakening'']]
105	* ''Fanfic/AlwaysVisible'': Delia Yonce and Jordan Thurlow.
106
107	[[AC:''Manga/OnePiece'']]
108	* ''Fanfic/OnePieceParallelWorks'':
109	** Aki and Heathcliffe. Although they are both from wealthy families, Heathcliffe's parents [[spoiler:kicked Heathcliffe out of his own house and forced him to become a StreetUrchin]] and Aki's aunt and father keep putting her in one ArrangedMarriage after another so the Chung-Feng family could obtain more power and wealth.
110	** Yuki-Rin (the daughter of a Tenryuubito) and Kazuma (the son of a dojo master) started out as this because of Roscoe, but it looks like their love isn't endangered anymore.
111
112	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
113	* Pikachu and Pichi in ''Fanfic/APikachuInLove'' have shades of this. Both of them are owned by different trainers who plan on leaving the forest they met in and going there seprate ways in three days. [[spoiler:Though it doesn't end in death like most victims of this Trope, in the end Pikachu is forced to part ways with Pichi so he can continue his adventures with Ash.]]
114
115	[[AC:''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'']]
116	* ''Fanfic/SweetSorrow'' depicts Sonic and Elise as this. They can't remember one another anymore, but Sonic still subconsciously recalls Elise.
117
118	[[AC:''Franchise/StarTrek'']]
119	* The ''Film/StarTrek2009'' fic ''Fanfic/WrittenInTheStars'' [[LoveTranscendsSpaceTime mostly averts this]], but the Spock and Fem!Kirk in [[ItMakesSenseInContext the alternate reality of the mirror universe]] play this straight in that unions between Vulcans and Humans were forbidden after the Romulan attack on the ''Kelvin''. The pair still fall in love and attempt to bring down the Terran Empire in order to be together.
120
121	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'']]
122	* ''Fanfic/LittleRebellions'' has Bismuth and Pumice. The fact that they were different kinds of gems was already a problem due to their highly stratified society, but Pumice was also going to be harvested before Bismuth helped her hide. Lavender Pearl blackmails Bismuth by threatening to expose their relationship.
123
124	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'']]
125	* The Warden and the Mistress almost become this in ''Fanfic/ExtendedStay'' until the revelation that [[spoiler: Mistress is pregnant]] is revealed, allowing her to stay and thus, allowing them to be together. The reason this is is because of the plot, which goes something like this: Ultraprison is running low on fuel and needs to stop someplace to refuel. Conveniently, the nearest spot for them is Superjail. Once they have enough fuel to leave, this trope comes up.
126
127	[[AC:''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'']]
128	* ''Fanfic/NotAMonster'': Peach finds herself attracted to Bowser, but she realizes it can't work out between them. Everyone sees Bowser as a giant brute and a monster. She doesn't want him to change his ways, either, as she feels he wouldn't be "Bowser" then.
129
130	[[AC:''Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium'']]
131	* In ''Fanfic/TroubledWaters'', Henneth Annûn sacrifices her immortality in order to bring Boromir BackFromTheDead. However, this forces her to stay away from him, as the magic sustaining him now would return to her if she gets too close. Even just being a certain distance away causes him physical pain.
132
133	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'']]
134	* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ThreeTestsOfValor'', a boy and a girl from opposing teams fall in love with each other.
135
136	[[AC:''Franchise/TouhouProject'']]
137	* Most fanworks focusing on a romantic relationship between Maribel Hearn and Renko Usami -- two girls living in a distant future compared to the rest of the setting's present day -- at least low-key deal with this on account of the fact that it's strongly implied that Maribel is eventually going to turn into the present-day ancient {{youkai}} Yukari Yakumo. This is a twofer since it means that Mary is both going to end up TrappedInThePast, separated from Renko by thousands of years, and also that she'll lose her humanity, turning into an entity whose very existence is defined by her opposition of mankind, thus separating her and Renko on a metaphysical level, too.
138
139	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'']]
140	* ''[[https://www.wattpad.com/42897405-when-we-seared-the-sky-chapter-1 How We Seared the Sky]]'', set in the continuity of the [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries live-action films]], looks at the Autobots' new ally of Alexis Paxton, who becomes friends with Sam and Mikaela shortly before Starscream attempts to defect for his own safety. When the Autobots provisionally assign Starscream as Alexis's guardian, the two end up falling in love, even after [[spoiler:Alexis and Starscream learn that he killed her father during the battle of Mission City]].
141
142	[[AC:''Music/{{Vocaloid}}'']]
143	* The ''Vocaloid'' fanfic ''Fanfic/RottingCamellias'' has Miku and Luka [[spoiler:caught in a ReincarnationRomance where one of them is fated to die the day that they meet]].
