One well - known fictional story involving Stockholm Syndrome is 'Beauty and the Beast'. Belle, the female lead, is initially held captive by the Beast in his castle. Over time, she begins to understand him and even falls in love with him, which can be seen as elements of Stockholm Syndrome. Another example could be in the movie 'The Collector'. The female victim in the movie starts to have a complex relationship with her captor as the story progresses.
The novel 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov also has some aspects that can be associated with this syndrome.

There was a case in Austria where a woman was held captive in a cellar for years. During her captivity, she developed a bond with her captor. She seemed to adapt to her situation and showed signs of Stockholm Syndrome.

It's a very sad and extreme example of how the human mind can be warped in such situations.
I'm not sure of specific gay Stockholm syndrome stories offhand. But generally, Stockholm syndrome involves captives developing an attachment to their captors. In a gay context, perhaps in a situation where one person is in a controlling or abusive relationship and still forms an unusual bond with the abuser. However, this is a complex and very rare scenario in the gay community as most relationships are based on equality and mutual respect.
One such novel could be 'Forbidden' which delves into complex relationships that might show some elements related to Stockholm syndrome in a gay context. However, this is not a common theme in mainstream gay novels.

Belle is held captive by the Beast in his castle at first, but over time she develops feelings for him, which has some undertones of Stockholm syndrome.

Roquelaure, where Sleeping Beauty finds herself in a complex situation with her captors and forms unusual relationships.

Well, one place to start could be some fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own. Just search for 'kidnapped Stockholm syndrome' within the relevant fandoms. However, keep in mind that the themes can be quite dark and complex.
One well - known real - life example of Stockholm syndrome is the case of Patty Hearst. In 1974, she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Over time, she seemed to identify with her captors, participating in a bank robbery with them. This was a complex situation where she was held in a high - stress, isolated environment, which likely contributed to her developing Stockholm - like symptoms.
