• Characters.Darker Than Black: [Chick Magnet] Boy howdy. Almost every woman he interacts with either falls in love with him or treats him as an honorary family member, be they an Emotionless Girl, a Magnificent Bastard, the Fair Cop trying to catch him, or someone whose first sight of him was the (apparent) murder of her father.

• Film.The Three Musketeers: The (double) crux of the backstory - Athos married the former Lady de Winter, only to turn her over to the authorities when realizing she'd been condemned for murder — then realizing she probably HAD been innocent — but was, by the time he met her again, guilty of far worse things. And right after they sorted things out, she DIED. On purpose. To avoid being executed.
• Literature.Mike Hammer: In "I, the Jury" Charlotte Bennett, the woman Hammer had fallen in love with and planned to marry, turned out to be the killer. This is probably the case that turned him from an ordinary Private Detective into the dispenser of brutal justice we all know and love.
• ShipperOnDeck.Anime And Manga: Installments on Darker than Black (namely, the second season and interquel manga) have contained numerous instances of characters teasing Misaki Kirihara that the real reason she wants to catch BK-201 is that she has a crush on him.

• Characters.Big Brother 15 Winner Runner Up: [GinaMarie Zimmerman] [Yandere] OH SO MUCH for Nick. Her obsession with Nick was even compared to Fatal Attraction by the Zingbot. After he was evicted, GinaMarie sobbed for 72 hours and also carried his signature blue cap all around the house. The fans thought that she was a crazy stalker and that as soon as the game was over, Nick should get a restraining order! Discussed trope, general dangerous potential relationship

He got very jealous of Amber flirting with the other male houseguests, notably Cody and because of this, Caleb wanted Cody out of the house in order to get him out of the way.

Too bad she turned out to be the very person the party was running from. Vampire and ???, general dangerous anyways. Also, Darth work has a character page?
• DarkerThanBlack.Season One Tropes A To M: Kirihara to Hei. Given that she first connected "Li" to BK-201 in episode 18 and had, in fact, been hanging out with him not eight hours before she revealed that she'd figured it out, it's likely that she'd subconsciously known for a while and just didn't want to admit it. Government agent and criminal

• DieForOurShip.Live Action TV: [Grey's Anatomy] Upon the break-up of Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd, the character of Rose appeared to meddle. Fans' reactions were particularly vicious; Rose soon became known as 'The Plant' on the fan boards, and several fan fictions set out to murder her or turn her into a stalker. Rose's canon reaction to Derek breaking up with her seemed to cater to these fans; she transformed into a petty bitch who stabs Derek with a scalpel, albeit accidentally. They even hung a lampshade on this by saying that she was known as the Fatal Attraction girl in the hospital, which was justification for her being Put on a Bus. Doctor and ???

Cut for length, Detective and non-tempter suspect
• Literature.Aces Abroad: One of the reporters on the tour, Sara, correctly suspects that Senator Hartmann was involved in the death of her sister, but still falls in love with him and begins an affair with him anyway after listening to his sob story.

• Bad Creepy Pasta: [Moral Event Horizon] The gang discuss this trope in their riff of Jeff the Killer Vs. Michael Myers, when Jeff the Killer and Jane the Killer start making out, despite being mortal enemies. Misuse
• WMG.Kung Fu Panda: Expanding on the above idea that the villain will turn into Villainous Counterparts (Psycho Rangers?), and given Mantis' stated desire to find a nice girl, settle down and get his head bitten off, the next villain will be a female Praying Mantis. We get a Fatal Attraction for Mantis.

• Characters.Only Murders In The Building: [Jan Bellows] The reveal in the season finale that she is Tim's killer retroactively turns her and Charles's relationship into this. Retroactive, so not apparently dangerous

She is also a wealthy racist, though she believes that she is open-minded. Solomon and Hanna, who ends up taking his money and ditching him when he is a teenager.

• Anime.F Zero GP Legend: [Dating Catwoman] To a degree, this is the relationship between Rick and Luna Ryder. It jumps between this, Foe Romance Subtext (mainly, Luna's resolve to face-off with him during a race), and Fatal Attraction at multiple points. This is then subverted as it turns out Luna is Haruka, his actual girlfriend. Doesn't say anything, just listing tropes
• Characters.Delicious Friends: [Eva Anderson] To a certain deviless. Not fatal, but it did end in the loss of her soul. (She got it back.) No context, seems to be general dangerous relationship. Possibly mistaken for subversion of The Murder After

• ComicStrip.Knights Of The Dinner Table: [The Ghost] Bob also claims to have been in a Fatal Attraction style situation with a woman at the Harness & Hoe Insurance Company; a claim which Dave finds hilarious. PCE, likely misuse based on surrounding context. Possible movie reference?
• DarthWiki.Tumblrfort: Notably Sulo and Mikhail, being on opposite teams and prejudiced against each other's country of origin at first. ZCE, TF2 crossover, so unlikely to be correct
• Fanfic.A Cure For Love: L with Kira. commented-out ZCE
• Fanfic.Go Not Gently: Just the trope name
• Fanfic.Lines I Cant Erase: A Gender Flip variation of canon. In a twist from canon, though, Ada and Leon end up actually together. ZCE
• Fanfic.Seigikan: L with Light. ZCE
• Film.Hop: When the pink berets catch up to E.B., he dresses a frozen turkey in his shirt and throws it in a pot to fake his death, accidentally framing Fred for his murder in the process. Sinkhole

• Headscratchers.Big Finish Doctor Who: In "The Next Life" C'rizz calls Charley a bunny boiler over her jealous behavior. C'rizz is from the Divergent Universe and has only recently been on board the TARDIS for the first time, Charley hasn't been in a time period where she's had an opportunity to see the film or pick up the phrase and Fatal Attraction isn't the Doctor's cup of tea. So how would C'rizz not only know the phrase but how also to use them in the right context?
• Heartwarming.Hannibal: Despite the facts surrounding their meeting, and what follows, Hannibal and Will reuniting in the art museum in Florence may count, and what Hannibal says to Will almost seems like a confession of love. If you account for Will's current headspace, it also borders on a Tearjerker.
• Literature.Dalziel And Pascoe:
  • Dalziel suspects his love interest in An April Shroud may be a Black Widow, and Good Morning, Midnight reveals that his girlfriend at the end of Recalled to Life was also serious trouble. PCE
  • The trope is played absolutely straight in Dialogues of the Dead and the beginning of Death's Jest-Book. ZCE
• Literature.Vicky Bliss: Vicky to Leif in Silhouette in Scarlet. ZCE
• Love Before First Sight: A somewhat twisted example from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Oz and Veruca, who are both werewolves.
  Veruca: I've wanted you even before I ever saw you. I sensed you. Did you sense me?
  Oz: Come in here.
  Veruca: Did you?

  Steven: But it's not like that anymore. You don't have to be with Jasper.
  Lapis Lazuli: That's not it. I... I miss her.

• Film.The Crush: [Yandere]: Darian. It's even creepier considering that she's only 14 years old and she is lusting after someone who is literally twice her age. Definitely the teenage version of Fatal Attraction. Reference to movie, not trope
• Magazine.Mad: [Only Sane Man] The dog in the Fatal Attraction parody. Movie reference
• NightmareFuel.Family Guy: Or when [Meg] went Yandere on Brian a la Fatal Attraction and again with Joe. And again with a mall Santa. Possible movie reference?

She stalked her ex-girlfriend, Geri, obsessively despite having been warned by a court order to stay away, making creepy phone calls and jumping out of random hiding places to frighten Geri. Yet, despite some of her acts of terrorism being inspired by those of fictional movie villains (Glenn Close's in Fatal Attraction, most notably), they are all of the Poke the Poodle variety. She also sleeps with a Big Bird doll. Seems to be a reference to the movie, not the trope
• Recap.Big Finish Doctor Who 064 The Next Life: C'rizz seems to think this about Charley, since he accuses her of being a "bunny boiler", despite having only just learned what a bunny is in Caerdroia. Maybe he watched Fatal Attraction on the TARDIS some time. Movie Reference
