Re: Kinks, narrative kinks, and favorite tropes!
(Anonymous) 2014-02-02 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)The Doctor and the Master from Doctor Who had some fun variations: see 'Claws of Axos', 'Logopolis', 'Trial of a Time Lord' and 'Survival' in Classic Who.
On the anime side, most of the Gundam series have some fantastic and some utterly tragic moments of this. On a more comedic note (most of the time), Lupin and Zenigata from Lupin III end up doing this with alarming regularity.
Mind you, Lupin's granddaddy ended up doing this with his nemesis as well (see Arsene Lupin and the Red Silk Scarf).
I have an utter fondness for this trope in chase movies and westerns, but I'm having trouble thinking of specific examples off the top of my head. Although, The Fugitive, both TV and movies, is fantastic in this regard.
Oh! Also Assault on Precinct 13, although the variation is a little different between the original and the remake (remake is more 'it went well', while original goes more the 'it went tragically well' route).
For TV shows, Person of Interest does this fairly regularly, with extremely variable results for the protagonists. Also Leverage. A lot of heist movies and shows seem to do this, which is possibly another reason why I'm so fond of them. Also chase shows. Both Dukes of Hazzard and The Incredible Hulk had moments where the protagonists had to help their oldest enemies because they're just basically too decent to let anything happen to them. With, again, varying results.
Erm. Those are the canon examples that immediately spring to mind. If you meant in fanfic, I might have more trouble.

NuWho, too -- as much of a train wreck as the Tenth Doctor two-parter "The End of Time" was, I liked how this trope ended up playing out between the Doctor and the Master.
