There is also a trend of pretend killing the Love Interest regardless of whether its an Original Character or Canon character. Here is a good example (look in the reviews of the artwork, not the artwork itself or its summary). Examples of Dry Docking include:

Plenty of room for Troper Tales. Not really related to Dry Docked Ship. Examples of Dry Docking include:
