I feel kind of light-headed.
Is it because they're books you bought for your courses, and you won't be needing them anymore? 'Cause that's understandable.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thanks everyone! Madame Bovary, Star Wars, Married with Children are great examples. Ethan Frome doesn't quite work. While it fits many stereotypes, it doesn't fit the one I'm tracing (technically, his wife didn't hurt him...his affair did).
And I can't believe I completely forgot this one: Angel loses his soul when he sleeps with Buffy.

Always Anti-fascist!
Must watch last night's TDS, and remember I don't RPF. LOVE both of them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, and Samson. He hooks up with a chick, and the bitch cuts his hair.

WRT to the Logan - Veronica kissage. 1st time was extremely hot (motel balcony), out by the Echolls pool post Dylan smack down was so so, secret making out session in bathroom was hot, at Logan's house getting caught by Dad was way too cutsie not at all hot, last night stuff was all ok.
I am not a fan of cutsie cheek and head kissing Logan. Unsurprisingly, I love protector and take charge Logan.
What I really learned last night is that fictional boys named Logan are always "F" and should never be anything more.

ChiKat, would War of the Roses work for your purposes? The wife has a parallel downfall, but she's definitely the cause of the husband's ruin.
Romeo and Juliet might be a way to go. Of course both die in the end, but earlier on it has Romeo becoming a wanted man for killing his love's cousin...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wolverine is totally marriage material.
Cheek kissy Logan is a bit much. But I admit to having not paid that much attention to what he was like with Lilly. Like you, msbelle, protector Logan makes me all weak. Mrowwr.

Oh, and Superman, in the second movie. He looses his powers once he boinks Louis Lane.

F'em all is what I say.
Like I need more fictional crushes.
