I love this kind of thing for specific relationships. Like, if the story has gone out of its way to clearly convey that character A means everything to character B and is their top priority always, with zero competition, then seeing that level of extreme devotion acted upon can be really intense and rewarding. It's deeply personal and deeply selfish, and character B knows that--they just don't care.

What bugs me is when the two characters don't have that kind of extremely devoted relationship, but they still sacrifice the greater good in order to save the other person. Because I guess the writers think that's what good people do? Or something?

Actually, I kind of hate most tropes that basically operate on the premise that good people aren't pragmatic.

It can make sense for a character, but I feel like even then a lot of time there is this assumption in the narrative that people in love just do that.

But I hate it most when it doesn't make sense. Like an example I mentioned above where Worf goes back for Jadzia and in the process gives up on the mission to rescue an important spy who would have saved a lot of lives. Worf is a character who absolutely would choose the greater good, the mission and duty, over rescuing his wife. And Jadzia for her part would totally understand and want him to do that. So I really, really hate that episode.
