  • Two characters used to be friends or lovers, but now they aren't on speaking terms. The odds don't look good that they'll patch things up on their own. Fortunately, the plot is on their side: some external disaster happens and the characters get back together as a direct result. Variants include: * Alice is ticked off at Bob, and then disaster strikes and Bob has to rescue Alice. This rescue convinces Alice that Bob isn't so bad after all. * Alice is ticked off at Bob, and then disaster strikes and Bob is in danger. Alice has to put aside her anger to rescue Bob. * Alice and Bob are ticked at each other. The disaster forces them to put their differences aside and work together. Of course, shared disasters aren't exactly a great foundation for (re)building a relationship. Hopefully, in Bob and Alice's case, the disaster is simply a catalyst for spending more time together and genuinely reconciling; or it reminds them that life is short and their relationship is more important than whatever it was that drove them apart. Very, very common in the Disaster Movie genre. Compare Fire-Forged Friends, Rescue Romance. Examples of Relationship-Salvaging Disaster include:
