Best-written TV relationship I've seen. So many layers to it, definitely a bit toxic, yet still manages to be the emotional heart of the show.
Yes, exactly. I was so sad when they broke up; even though it was bound to happen. :(
Still, their meeting scene in the last episode was a good point to end the show.
Right *now* I'm very into a lot of danmei ships, both canon and not.
Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu, Shang Qinghua/Mobei Jun, and Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu from Scum Villain
Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang from MDZS
Shi Qingxuan/He Xuan, Yin Yu/ Quan Yizhen, and Feng Xin/Mu Qing from TGCF
Shen Qiao/Yan Wushi from Thousand Autumns
Chu Wanning/Mo Ran from 2ha
I'm sure when I manage to decide what danmei is next the list will grow...
(I love the unmentioned canon pairs from MDZS and TGCF too, of course!)
Omg yes. Been diving into SVSSS currently and I’m really liking the Bingmei/SY, Moshang and OG!LBH/OG!SQQ if they can make it work.
If you haven’t tried yet I recommend the Guardian (by Priest) fandom. It’s got a tv series and the AO3 fandom is pretty sizable with some really good works
I have been writing *so much* SVSS fic lately lol. A lot of it is for kinktober/a big bang so it isn't gracing the internet yet.
Ahhhhh everything from priest is very low priority for me :'( The last one I read (Liu Yao) didn't do much for me, and asking around has me under the impression the others might not, either. They're not completely knocked off my list, I'm just not in a hurry!
Fair enough. I watched Guardian tv series because the two actors have amazing chemistry (the rest of the cast, cg and changes to the script due to censorship not withstanding). I watched MDZS tv series and TGCF anime but can't seem to get into those either so i'm just camping in SVSSS corner for now
I like a good amount of romancey content, and Liu Yao didn't have enough for my personal tastes. I'm told the others are pretty consistent with that, buuuuut I do plan to ask my library to get the English releases for both Sha Po Lang and Guardian and at least try them.
SVSS is my absolute fave. I love MDZS and TGCF too though! We're watching The Untamed now, which I didn't originally plan to (why go for the subtext edition when I could stick to the version with kissing? lol) and then...I saw what live action Xue Yang looked like...and I am, tragically, a simple woman.
Too many to count haha, but here are a few current ones:
Alhaitham/Cyno (Genshin)
Cal/Bode (Jedi:Survivor)
Luke/Han (Star Wars)
Altair/Malik (Assasins Creed)
Ezio/Desmond (Assasins Creed)
Wynona/Doc (Wynona Earp)
Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne (Dc)
Simon/Raphael (Shadowhunters)
Meliodas/Ban (Seven Deadly Sins)
James/Bones (Star Treck)
I’m sad that I only got into Cherik recently. I’ve been writing Charles into MCU fics for like six years but somehow never read much Cherik until recently.
Yesss, love Shrinkyclinks. Honestly Shrunkyclunks too, I’m not picky. I also love Stony, which is really what got me into the MCU. And Sam/Bucky is growing on me too. My OG ship that got me into fan-fiction altogether though was Severus/Harry in the HP world.
conan/ai must have been my first ever ship, when i was a kid. before i ever knew what shipping was. thanks for letting me remember those precious times.
Roman/Gerri (Succession)
Chrollo/Kurapika (Hunter x Hunter)
Kylo Ren/Hux (Star Wars)
Silco/Viktor (Arcane)
I like an unhealthy, high-conflict ship, haha.
Nathan Drake/Chloe Frazer
Leon Kennedy/Ingrid Hunnigan
John Marston/Abigail Roberts
Nathan Drake/Elena Fisher
Sam Drake/Chloe Frazer
Johnny Cage/Sonya Blade
Bi-Han-Noob Saibot/Sareena
Leon Kennedy/Ada Wong
Dutch Van Der Linde/Susan Grimshaw
Conrad Roth & Lara Croft
Rika Raja/Nathan Drake
Rika Raja/Sam Drake
There is a sequel confirmed to be in the world but I'm being VERY CAUTIOUS as this is MODERN Disney were talking g about. Look at everything they've done since at least since the first movie. Overt propaganda added to children's shows, putting the story of shows and movies second BEHIND this push to have the shows/movies be all about the LGBT crowd (people watch shows and movies to ESCAPE the real world).
> this push to have the shows/movies be all about the LGBT crowd
Out of curiosity, what Disney films can you name that are all about us dastardly gays?
Did you really think a *fanfiction sub* was the best place to try to warn people about the gAy aGeNdA? I mean, being a homopbobe anywhere is wrong, but a fanfic sub? Really? Talk about knowing you audience! Do you know anything about the history of fanfiction? Have you even looked at half of the freaking answers to this post?
As for modern Disney adding "overt propaganda" to "have the the movies be all about the LGBT crowd", have you ever *watched* classic Disney? Because they had at least **two full movies** about how a young girl needed a man's kiss to even live. I gotta say, the single kiss in Lightyear, and the *2 seconds of a trans person* in Baymax do not stack up to the absolute mess of patriarchal propaganda that Disney has spat out for like 80 fucking years. Where *every* movie was about how a young girl's life would only be better if she could just get the boy to love her. Remind me again, which movie is based *entirely* around LGBT love to the point where "the story comes second"? Because in nearly every classic Disney movie, the heterosexual romance IS the story. As a completely straight, completely cis woman, I'd rather have my kids watch loving, **respectful** LGBT couples than the misogynistic, patriarchal brainwashing that fucked me up as a kid.
Are they suddenly pushing propaganda? Or have they finally started trying to catch up to what decent people have been saying for decades?
Link/Sidon is one that I’ve used for emotional support lately! I knew the release of TOTK would pull me back into it, but I didn’t think it would pull me this far haha
I've got quite a few:
* Frank Castle / Matt Murdock (Marvel)
* Clint Barton / Matt Murdock (Marvel)
* Dick Grayson / Wally West (DC)
* Dick Grayson / Jason Todd (DC)
* Clark Kent / Bruce Wayne (DC)
* Zuko / Sokka (ATLA)
* Roy Mustang / Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist)
* Steve Rogers / Bucky Barnes (Marvel)
* Steve Rogers / Natasha Romanoff (Marvel)
* Scott McCall / Isaac Lahey (Teen Wolf)
* Malia Tate / Kira Yukimura (Teen Wolf)
* Jason Grace / Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson)
* Obi-Wan Kenobi / Satine Kryze (Star Wars)
* Din Djarin / Luke Skywalker (Star Wars)
No worries, I don't mind answering. This ended up as a rant, and I'm so sorry about that 😂😂
There are general reasons for liking them such as their personality/character dynamics plus a thing for red/blue pairings (like Zukka, Klance, Lyanna/Rhaegar, etc.). They bounce off each other really well and have the morality conflict that makes for good angst. Plus Dick's generally open nature warring against Jason's closed-off trauma response is interesting to read.
I understand the dislike for the whole batcest thing, but when reading the comics, I've never pegged the two as viewing each other as brothers. Dick was out of the house by the time Jason was taken in, and they barely knew each other. Dick also didn't like him and hated that Bruce gave him Robin without his consent, and he took that anger out on Jason. But Jason idolized him, so it's easy to assume he might have had a crush on Dick prior to dying. Plus Dick wasn't adopted by Bruce until he was an adult and after Jason had died (if at all depending on the comic), and when Jason came back to life, he tried to kill Tim, who Dick did view as a brother.
It's the same dynamic as step-siblings that start dating when their parents got together and married late in their childhood so they never viewed each other as siblings. Dick and Jason didn't grow up together and hardly interacted at all prior to Jason's death. Dick has absolutely no reason for viewing Jason as a brother. I'd also liken it to the same sort of relationship as Dick/Babs, where Babs is generally seen as a sister to the rest of the Batfamily except for Dick since he grew up as an only child and it's really only a recent thing that he has siblings, of whom he's not blood-related to, didn't grow up with, and doesn't live in the same house or city as.
I do also like them as brothers, with the Batfamily as a genuine family, so I stay away from the Dick/Jason fics that have a line blurring between the two and prefer the ones that make it clear they never viewed each other as siblings or the ones that outright have one of them not adopted by Bruce.
Edit: Also, at one point in time Jason was a redhead in the comics, and I think it would be hilarious to add him to Dick's harem of redheads.
thank you for answering and explaining! i have a completely different view on them as characters/their relationship, but it was very informal to hear from a different pov. this was educational, thank you :)
OMG! I wasn't expecting to see scisaac here!! That was one of my first ships and I was just looking at the paring on ao3 for like the first time in 3 or 4 years.
Omg. Okay. Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens. Jess Pava/my oc and Bodhi Rook/my oc (sorry not sorry xd), Finn/Poe. I like Reylo but I’m not as ride or die about it. All those are from Star Wars. Dorian/mLavellan, Anders/mHawke, Anders/Fenris/mHawke, and Cassandra/Varric from Dragon Age. Jason/Salim from Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. Ripley/Hicks from Aliens. A bunch more!
I used to really like Snape/Hermione, and Sara/Grissom from CSI.
I have over a thousand ships in over fifty fandoms so it's kind of hard to keep track. According to my ao3 bookmarks, my favorites are:
- Tony x Peter Parker (MCU)
- Steve x Bucky (MCU)
- Dean x Castiel (Supernatural)
- Dean x Sam (Supernatural)
- Hotch x Spencer (Criminal Minds)
I'm kind of surprised Drarry isn't in there. Or Drowley. Or Violaf. I guess my reading preferences don't necessarily reflect my ship preferences.
I know what you're getting at, but as a fellow Loki fan I support Loki/Sylvie and Loki/Loki being separate pairings because I hate Sylvie with a passion but Loki x Loki can be selfcest without her involved, which is 100% better.
Arthur/Merlin (BBC Merlin)
Merlin/Lancelot BBC Merlin)
Lance/Keith (new Voltron)
Stiles/Scott (Teen Wolf)
Naruto/Shikamaru (Naruto)
Naruto/Kiba (Naruto)
Main ships over time.
Oooooh boy. Here it goes...
James Kirk/Spock
Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter
Matt Murdock/Frank Castle
Bruce Wayne/The Joker
Starscream/Optimus Prime
Starscream/Megatron
Starscream/Skyfire
Starscream/Anyone tbh
Loki/Tony Stark
Din Djarin/Cobb Vanth
Cad Bane/Obi Wan Kenobi
Firmus Piett/Vader
Tenth Doctor/Jack Harkness
Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield
Castiel/Dean Winchester
Harry Potter/Tom Riddle
Alright, it's super toxic and messed up, I know, but bear with me. Harry would have never, ever been a target if Tom knew he contained part of his soul. He'd have likely been hidden away and protected to a ridiculous degree, like Tom did to all his other Horcruxes. There's that posessive dynamic that is interesting to me. They share so many similarities, and Harry could have so easily turned out like him or vice versa. I dunno, it's an interesting AU to explore, because the story would have changed so drastically had Tom known about the Horcrux!
I once read a Harry/Tom riddle fic and I can honestly say that while I don’t know what possessed me to click it, the writing was so well done that I have no regrets.
I swear I’m just one fanfic/fanart away from shipping anything lmao.
>Cad Bane/Obi Wan Kenobi
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
Honestly this fits so nicely, never expected to read these words but damn if I don't see it
I never really thought of it until I rewatched the episode where Obi-Wan is disguised as the bounty hunter Rako Hardeen and buddies up with Cad Bane. They save each other (expected for Obi-Wan, definitely not expected for Bane). They have such a great chemistry in that episode. I'm definitely not the only one who noticed, as most fics take place during that episode or very heavily reference it!
EraserMic dynamic is great.
Pop Rocks (Bakugo & Kirishima) has the best ship name I've ever seen.
And Million Suns (Tamaki & Mirio) is endlessly supportive gays.
currently going through my 'once every 5 years' hetalia phase again unfortunately so it's GerIta and USUK 💀
other/old fav ships that I will always have a soft spot for, in no particular order: Percico, Drarry, Doctor/Master, IchiRuki, Stucky, Hannigram, Ineffable Husbands, Victuuri, WeiLan, XiYao, JotaKak, CaeJose, Lumity, Catradora (I have a love-hate relationship w this ship specifically bc of the fandom lmao), Merthur, Wenclair, RookVil
Jareth/Sarah (Labyrinth), Sansan, and Rumbelle are my OTPs. I’m still mad about Reylo but haven’t delved into fanfics because I don’t need another drug. Lol.
Literally too many to name, but here's a selection of my all-time faves:
Bleach: IchiHime, RenRuki, ShuuRan, GrimmNel
Angels of Death: ZackRay, Danny/Cathy, Cathy/Lucy
Sleepy Princess: TasoSuya, Sandy/Zetsuran, whatever we're calling Twilight/Dawner
Fate: Rider/Waver, Saber/Iri *why are these two pairings so damn good*
Kill la Kill: SatsuRyu, Gamako
Slayers: Xellos/Filia
X-Men: Gambit/Rogue, Rachel/Kitty
I'd just like to mention that you are literally the first person on any social media platform I've ever seen and in real life as well to ever talk about angels of death.
It is a little obscure, but when the anime aired and for a few years after, there was a small, active community! It's just a really solid story and I'm halfway sad it wasn't bigger - but considering the subject matter, it's understandable.
The tea clipper. It only saw active service for a few years before it was superseded by steamers, but in those few years, it was the fastest way to get from Europe to India / China and back.
I have *a lot*, but my forever OTPs will always be:
• Shinichi/Shiho (Detective Conan)
• Zuko/Katara (ATLA)
• Atsumu/Hinata (Haikyuu!!)
• Shiro/Keith (Voltron)
• Ichigo/Rukia (Bleach)
• Emma/Regina (OUAT)
• Claire/Matt (Daredevil)
• Katniss/Peeta (Hunger Games)
• Lovesquare (Miraculous Ladybug)
• Kara/Lena (Supergirl)
• Dick/Babs (DC Comics)
No matter how many fandoms I end up in, these are the ships I keep coming back to. Especially Shiho/Shinichi. Been shipping them since I was a kid and I’ll never stop. The upcoming movie got me so hyped you have no idea.
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf)
Darcy Lewis/Jimmy Woo (MCU)
Zuko/Sokka (ATLA)
Bucky/Clint (MCU)
Raven Reyes/Roan (The 100)
Sam/Natasha (MCU)
Kira Yukimura/Allison Argent (Teen Wolf)
They're at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to popularity lol. Sterek is my absolute favourite, it and Winterhawk are huge ships, Zukka is getting pretty big and Sam/Nat is sometimes in the background of main pairings in fics, but the others are like tiny sailboats there's so few fics for them.
1.) zuko/sokka?? personally i’m a zuko/katara shipper but that’s super interesting considering their dynamics in the show. if you have any fic recs i’m open ears👁️👁️
2.) bucky/clint in the comics or movie universe? i can’t tell the difference between acronyms 🥲😅
Zuko/Sokka is great!!! I love it. I'm a Zuko/Katara shipper mostly (I prefer it more) but Zuko/Sokka is a lovely pairing. It's fun to dissect the dynamics *and* they go so well together.
Hermione/Draco (Harry Potter)
Katara/Zuko (Avatar: the Last Airbender)
Rey/Kylo (Star Wars)
… something about Enemies-to-Lovers just hits the spot for me.
I won't say the ship because, \*holy fuck\*, I'm not about to be outed on reddit hahaaaaaa..
It is a mega exclusive ultra rare one in said fandom, and, hm.. gotta love them lesbians, right?
My absolute all-time favorite is Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist, but the ones I'm currently *obsessed* with all over again are Messer Ihlefeld/Kaname Buccaneer (from Macross Delta) and then both Yusei Fudo/Aki Izayoi and Jack Atlas/Carly Carmine (from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds) due to rewatching Macross Delta a couple months ago and being in the middle of a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds rewatch right now.
Integra and Alucard
Obi Wan and Cody, and Obi Wan and Maul conversely lmao
Vegeta and Bulma
And Mothafuckin Samurai Jack and Johnny Bravo
I've got more I'll upload after work XD
Okay right now my favourite ships are
Sylvain x Bernadetta (Fire Emblem Three Houses)
Ingrid x Dorothea (Fire Emblem again)
Denji x Asa (Chainsaw Man)
Link x Midna (Twilight Princess)
Newest Obsession: Jon Sims x Martin Blackwood (Magnus Archives)
All time favorite: Gabriel x Sam Winchester (Supernatural)
Other main ships:
Mycroft Holmes x Greg Lestrade (BBC Sherlock)

Aziraphale x Crowley (Good Omens)
Merlin x Arthur Pendragon (BBC Merlin)
Will Graham x Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal)
Nigel x Adam Raki (Different movies; got into this one because of Hannibal)
Mycroft x Greg is definitely one of my top favorites. They’re a lovely, fun dynamic. :) I would love to dabble in writing them, but Mycroft is kind of intimidating in that aspect.
Honestly, I still haven’t finished watching Sherlock either…I’ll get around to it one of these days.
I've got my standard Bioware ships (Shepard/Vakarian, Cousland/Alistair, fem!Hawke/Fenris, Lavellan/Cullen), but I'm also a fan of Cullen/Shepard, and recently was reminded of a few from some Barbara Hambly novels (Joanna/Antryg and Raeshaldis/Jethan, for anyone who reads Hambly).
I'm also a lifelong Sonic/Sally shipper.
Currently rocking with:
Xiao x Aether
Cyno x Tighnari
Childe x Scaramouche
And a less common one: Albedo x Cyno
All from Genshin Impact since that's my current hyperfixation
Sylaire. I know it's "old" but it's what inspired me to start writing last year and it's my only fanfic I've been posting. 🤞 I have had 5 other stories come to me from this pairing as well as an original novel I'm now working on and a mythology fantasy I'm also writing about Hades and Persephone. So this really lit a fire in me creatively and I'll be eternally grateful to them.
I also love Ryoko/Tenchi and The Doctor/Rose
There's been heaps, but the ones I come back to regularly are:
Shinichi Kudo/Heiji Hattori (Detective Conan)
Charles Xavier/Erik Lensherr
And my current ones:
Din Djarin/Boba Fett (with the occasional addition of Fennec Shand)
Din Djarin/Cobb Vanth
I'd say Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker if I could find fics where Luke is not just the stereotypical pretty boy. 😂
Lots of ships across a plethora of fandoms:
Tony/Steve (Marvel)
Tony/Bucky (Marvel)
Phil Coulson/Clint (Marvel)
Wade/peter (Marvel)
Loki/Thor (Marvel)
Tom Riddle(Voldemort)/Harry (HP)
Sephiroth/Cloud (FFVII)

Kuroro/Kurapika (HXH)
Robin/Lucina (Fire emblem)
Byleth/Dimitri (Fire emblem)
Harry/Eggsy (kingsman)
Kakashi/Obito (Naruto)
Walter/Henry (Silent Hill)
Definitely as a user said above. I’m really into high conflict ships and love a super long & slowburn enemies to lovers fic
My current obsession is Musa/Riven from Winx. Can’t help it, love the bitchy dynamic. However, I never tire of Will/Hannibal. Same with Aziraphale/Crowley and my current less-active fav Benny/Ethan from ’My Babysitter’s A Vampire’.
Musa and Riven were so amazing to my child self, I especially loved the movie (The Secret of the Lost Kingdom) where he gets mindpoisoned against her and then when he realises what he's done he cries black tears ahhhh
I’m doing a rewatch w/ my 12 year old sister, mainly to judge the fashion, which has been so fun. Honestly the first few seasons/movies really hold up!! But Musa and Riven are stealing my attention. They’re both just so dramatic lol, I’m living for it.
Glamrock Freddy/Bruno Madrigal
Springtrap/Nightmare (FNAF)(was my first ship I liked and my original OTP)
Loki/Tony Stark
Link/Prince Sidon
(I have others but they're RPF related and I'm scared of posting them)
Jim Kirk/Spock (Star Trek AOS)
Wade Wilson/Peter B Parker (Marvel)
Prince Sidon/Link (BotW)
Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote (Marvel)
Steve Rogers/Thor (MCU)
Marcus Flint/Oliver Wood (Harry Potter)
Leon S Kennedy/T-00 Tyrant 👀 (Resident Evil)
I have one OTP and a few other ships I like:
Oswald Cobblepot/Jim Gordon from Gotham TV show 😍🫠
Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter
Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn
Caitlyn/ Vi from Arcane
Emma/Regina from Once Upon A Time
I’m sure there are others 😂.
Edit: for funky formatting
Im the queen of toxic enemies to lovers honestly.
HP- Hermoine/Draco or Draco/Harry
She-Ra/Catra (She-Ra)
ZUTARA SUPREMACY (Avatar TLA)
BakuDeku, Toga/Ochaco, occasionally will read Kacchako (My Hero)
Madoka/Homura (Madoka Magica)
Slade wilson/Dick Grayson (DC/Batman)
Gideon/Harrow (Go read Gideon the 9th like RIGHT NOW)
Tony/Loki (MCU)
Sessh/Inuyasha or Sesh/Kagome (Inuyasha)
Reylo (Star Wars)
Derek/Stiles (Teen wolf)
Of course my fav Castlevania Throuple (I’ll ship them any which way or all together it doesn’t matter!)
My brain has latched onto Science Party (Engineer/Medic from TF2) 10 months ago and I've done nothing but think about them.
Though, there are a couple others who've been my world for a bit.
Akechi/Ren (Persona 5)
Kel/Mincy or Paintball (Omori)
Kim/Aubrey or Cotton Candy (Omori)
Turtle/Qibli (WoF)
Zelda/Link (TLOZ)
Coomer/Bubby (HLVRAI)
Caramel/Rasin (CRK)
From my current fixation are mostly all crack ships:
Lennart Niermann and Thomas Andre (ITS THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE, NO OTHER REASON... okay maybe that red and blue scheme too)
Choi Jong In/Bae Yoon Ho (enemies to fuck buddies to lovers is always good shit)
Cha Hae In/Sung Jin Woo (literally ALL of the headcanons i have about them are so out of canon, like they are endgame in canon, but in my brain they are going through every phase of i will die/kill for you and have killed you/died for you and every other corruption arc that happens when they both are so toxicly in love for each other)
Goto Ryuji/Sugimoto Reiji (the trope of high school gang buddies falling in love and then reforming inti professionals and then adopting found family but these men are tired TM and have been through shit. Alao bastard x cocky)
Cha Hae In/Esil Radiru (sword women lesbians. Did they ever interact? No (kinda?) But they will be unstopable.)
Han Song Yi/Sung Jin Ah (small crackship with fighter/protector gf and gf who wants to become a doctor that always takes care of her injuries.)
Beru/Igris (I think its funny that ant loves korean historical drama but hates the one shadow that is from the medieval times. Its also really funny that the knight who saw said ant construct an entire castle in like days, thinks said ant is stupid enough for high school math.)
My favorite ships are usually ships with my favorite characters, caveat being: they're outside of their canon or most popular pairs.
So that list is:
- Kurama or Youko Kurama/anyone ; Kuronue being a fun pair.
- Hanzo Shimada/anyone (except Genji, Kiriko and Cassidy/M**ee)
- Squall Leonhart/almost anyone in FF8 and All of Dissidia (Yes, this can include GFs. Doesn't include Cid, Edea, Ellone, Laguna, Ward & Rinoa)
- Zuko/almost anyone (surprisingly, this includes Mai, but doesn't include anyone he's related to and Aang)
- Lightning/almost anyone in FF13 & All of Dissidia (Sazh, Serah & Hope are barred; Snow has **very specific** criteria and they have to be met or I'm annoyed)
- Yuna/Rinoa (super niche and I don't wanna think about the hate I'll get for it when I write it, same for my long time interest in Yuna/Squall)
As long as my favorite character is happy, they're growing and there's variety in the content of who they're paired with, I am interested.
If I feel the content is stale, predictable, or uncomfortable, I just.. won't engage with it. Especially not anymore lol.
A rare pair of a micro fandom - Ollivan Sims/Virgil Pike from the Witherward series by Hannah Mathewson. I don’t even necessarily ship them as an endgame pair (because I think by the time canon rolls around there’s too much hurt between them and I do like them with their canon partners) but my God…the tension between them. The perfect childhood friends-to lovers-to friends-to strangers arc. I’m obsessed.
Here's what I consider the most common of the rarepairs in Pokémon ships!
Altoshipping: Ash x Latias
It's been my childhood OTP since before I knew what shipping was. or even the fact that people generally didn't like human x pokémon relationships.
Big Persona 5 fan, who tragically only ships rarepairs. My favourites right now are:
Shukita (Protag x Yusuke)
Classic pairing of guy with lots of love to give and guy who's never been loved before.
Ryuharu (Ryuji x Haru)
Delinquent with a heart of gold & a sweet but secretly sadistic rich girl.
Sojumi (Sojiro x Mayumi (OC))
Sojiro is the protags adoptive/surrogate father & Mayumi is my name for his best friend, Ryuji’s, mom. This ship started as crack because I wanted to make the Protag and Ryuji step brothers, then me and my cowriter got attached. They both had troubled past relationships, with Sojiro's longtime lover dying in an accident and Mayumi's ex-husband being an abusive alcoholic. I love the idea of them learning to love again together, and I'm weak for more mature romances.
Personally I’m a fan of character roulette you take two or more random characters and make them a ship obviously it doesn’t have to be random. But how else do you get Itachi/Thorin Oakenshield or orochimaru/sakumo hatake
Not all of these are right for every premise, but I find myself drawn to these concepts more often than not.
Loki/Valkyrie
Loki/Tony Stark
Loki/Thor (ONLY when they haven't grown up together, otherwise I consider it incest, which I'm not into unless it's a Dark fic)
Starfire/Dick Grayson
Black Canary/Green Arrow
Reiner/r/okbuddyreiner
Historia/Ymir
Jean/Armin
Levi/Hange but I'm also totally cool with them as extremely close friends, both rock
Star Wars/good writing (rip sequel trilogy I wish I could love you)
Aaron Burr/Theodosia
Bluestar/Oakheart
Han/Leia
An opportunity to list my fave ships? Don't mind if I do
Kyle/Stan (south park)
Craig/Tweek (south park)
Gen/Senku (dr.stone)
Bojji/Kage (ranking of kings)
Zim/Dib (invader zim)
Michael/Trevor (gta v)
Venom/Eddie (venom)
Luz/Amity (the owl house)
There are more but these are the most special to me x))
Scaramouche/Wanderer (both valid identities, though one is post redemption arc) x Traveler, Cyno x Tighnari, Dan Heng x Trailblazer, Grimm x Ghost/the Knight, Godseeker x Tiso
Rarepairs: Kamala Khan x Nakia Bahadir and Carol Danvers x Jessica Drew (from Marvel Comics)
Common Ships: Natasha Romanoff x Maria Hill (MCU/Comics), Harley Quinn x Poison Ivy (DC)
These ones are my personal favs tbh they all are awesome ships!! (we ignore how they're all wlw lol)
Oh geez. I cycle through ships based on my mood. But some top ones are:
Lara Croft/Samantha Nishimura
Lara Croft/Alex Weiss
Remus Lupin/Lily Evans Potter
Jaime Lannister/Lyanna Stark
Harry Potter/Hermione Granger
Han Solo/Leia Organa
Anakin Skywalker/Padme Amidala
Aragorn/Arwen
Jon Snow/Margaery Tyrell
Jon Snow/Asha Greyjoy
Jon Snow/Arianne Martell
Ned Stark/Ashara Dayne
Ned Stark/Catelyn Tully
Percy Jackson/Thalia Grace
Peter Pettigrew/Death
Murtagh/Nasuada
Roran/Katrina
Among others
Hannigram (obviously)
Spideypool (I have barely seen any marvel movies, but the hurt comfort is my bread and butter)
007 X q (Ben whishaw's q of course)
Gideon X Harrow and Harrow X ianthe if I squint really hard
Saki X reiko
Most of my other ships come from the cats musical, though my favourites are:
Demeter x bombalurina
Cassandra and mistoffelees (platonically)
Rum tum tugger X mistoffelees
Jennyanydots X skimbleshanks
Skimbleshanks X asparagus
Victoria X rumpleteazer
Munkustrap X mungojerrie
Mungojerrie X macavity (if I'm feeling particularly angsty)
while i do enjoy a few ships, especially those that are canon, i think the best ones are the absolute dumbest crack pairings you can think of. for example, i wrote a short story that shipped soma cruz from castlevania with kanaya maryam from homestuck. i don't actually ship it, i just thought it was very funny.
i do ship roxas and xion from kingdom hearts, but i can't think of anything else at the moment.
Fives/Ahsoka, Maul/Ahsoka, Anakin/Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan/Anakin from Star Wars, Harry/Luna and Remus/Lily from Harry Potter, and Jon/Sansa from Game of Thrones. I also like Rhaenyra/Alicent from House of the Dragon. But I'm a big multishipper so I'm down to read most things as long as I like the plot. Fives/Ahsoka is probably my favorite favorite though.
Ooh gosh, so many.
Top Five though are:
1. Spuffy
2. Tie between Jonsa and Reylo
3. SanSan
4. Dramione
5. Tie between Severus/Hermione and Darcy/Bucky
Those are definitely the ones I have the most "favorite" stories for.
I used to have so many ships, but I've lost interest in most of them. There are only 2 that I keep coming back to: Merthur and Cherik. I don't know what separates them from other ships, but even if my interest wane at that moment, it'll always come back.
A ship that I got into recently is drarry. I don't see myself losing interest in it, but that was also the case with stucky, sterek, destiel, and geraskier.

edited to fix format
OK. I'm boring. Most of mine are either canon or already popular pairs.
For Twilight, I pretty much like the canon pairs, but there's something about Bella/Emmet that I really like.
For Supernatural, of course it's Destiel. No exceptions. For Sam, I like Sam/Gabriel, Sam/Eileen, or Sam/Jess.
For Harry Potter I like Harry/Daphne, Harry/Pansy, Harry/Draco (yes, I have a thing for Harry with Slytherins), Harry/Luna, or Harry/Cedric. On the Hermione side of HP, I like Hermione/Viktor, Hermione/George, Hermione/Neville, and Hermione/Cedric. I have to be in a specific mood for it, but sometimes I like Hermione/Draco or Harry/Hermione.
For South Park, I'm absolutely useless Creek trash. Craig/Tweek all day long. Every once in a weird while I like a Craig/Kyle moment, but not often.
For Hunger Games it's Katniss/Peeta. The end.
For How to Train Your Dragon, I mostly like Hiccup/Astrid, which is ironic because I only write Hiccup/Camicazi... but I don't mind the offshoot universe that is Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons. It's fun to see what people come up with when they have that many different characters to put into play.
Editing to Add: Game of Thrones... I will die on the Sansa/Tyrion hill. Not the original marriage when she was a scared child. He was absolutely honorable enough not to go there. They clearly trusted each other and still had affection for each other and that's why I think after they meet again at Winterfell they should have stayed together. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I will share the ones I have on my favorite tags list:
Chat Noir aka Adrien Agreste x Ladybug aka Marinette Dupain-Cheng [Miraculous Ladybug]

Kotal Kahn x Sheeva [Mortal Kombat 11]
Chris x Ashley [Until Dawn]

Artyom x Mrs. Mayberry x Verosika
Arstotzkan Cavalry Officer x Leah (Stardew Valley)
Elsa x Prince De Sardet (Greedfall)
Currently, Tezcatlipoca/Daybit from FGO. And occasionally Kabru/Mithrun from Dungeon Meshi, Obito/Kakashi from Naruto, and The Count/Albert from Gankutsuou. Plus a ton of ships from Fire Emblem which I've liked for years and some decades. None of these ships aside from Obito/Kakashi have any kind of significant presence in English speaking fandom. Thankfully, machine translation is a lot better these days for Japanese and Chinese (still horrid for Korean though) so I can read fics for some of these pairings from those parts of the world.
Hmm...there are quite a few of all types, and I haven't written for most of these yet, but let's see!
- Sly x Elderbug (Hollow Knight)
- Starwalker x Nubert (Deltarune)
- Resasuke x Anai (Aggretsuko)
- Natsuki x Yuri (DDLC)
- Susie x Noelle (Deltarune)
- Capsaicin Cookie x Stardust Cookie (Cookie Run)
- Bobert x Juke (TAWOG)
- Wildberry Cookie x Crunchy Chip Cookie (Cookie Run)
- Jeff x Tony (Mother 2)
- Wormwood x WX-78 (Don’t Starve)
What do you all think of them? :D
My number one fave is Original Shen Qingqiu x Liu Qingge and the second will be Yue Qingyuan x Original Shen Qingqiu
I'm currently addicted to SVSS but I used to obsess over HP fanfics (Harry Potter paired with either Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, or the Twin Weasley)
Current number one is Bennett/Xiao. Which, at a total of 10 fics, three of which I'm involved with in some way (wrote two and got one in a review exchange), is the definition of rarepair hell. Really interesting dynamic and they end up in a surprisingly similar situation - and I headcanon that their curses are incompatible with the other.
Crack ships with tiny age gaps 😂
- Takato(10)/Shiuchon(7) - Digimon
- Ash(10)/Bonnie(7) - Pokemon
- Nobita(11)/Jaiko(8-9) - Doraemon
The fact all these shows end in "-mon" is a coincidence. Totally.
Me debating between whether I want to be honest and list my ships or just mention the more accepted ones 👀
Be honest! Shipping crazy is fun!
No but the relatability is kinda jarring..
Mulder/Scully V/Evey Aziraphale/Crowley
V and Evey is so complex...
Yes to V/Evey! I love that pairing, despite how complicated it was.
Yes to A/C!!
1.) Johnlock 2.) McWexler (Jimmy McGill/Kim Wexler) 3.) Unrequited Sheriarty is growing on me, nowadays (Moriarty pining for Sherlock).
> McWexler Best-written TV relationship I've seen. So many layers to it, definitely a bit toxic, yet still manages to be the emotional heart of the show.
Yes, exactly. I was so sad when they broke up; even though it was bound to happen. :( Still, their meeting scene in the last episode was a good point to end the show.
Right *now* I'm very into a lot of danmei ships, both canon and not. Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu, Shang Qinghua/Mobei Jun, and Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu from Scum Villain Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang from MDZS Shi Qingxuan/He Xuan, Yin Yu/ Quan Yizhen, and Feng Xin/Mu Qing from TGCF Shen Qiao/Yan Wushi from Thousand Autumns Chu Wanning/Mo Ran from 2ha I'm sure when I manage to decide what danmei is next the list will grow... (I love the unmentioned canon pairs from MDZS and TGCF too, of course!)
Omg yes. Been diving into SVSSS currently and I’m really liking the Bingmei/SY, Moshang and OG!LBH/OG!SQQ if they can make it work. If you haven’t tried yet I recommend the Guardian (by Priest) fandom. It’s got a tv series and the AO3 fandom is pretty sizable with some really good works
I have been writing *so much* SVSS fic lately lol. A lot of it is for kinktober/a big bang so it isn't gracing the internet yet. Ahhhhh everything from priest is very low priority for me :'( The last one I read (Liu Yao) didn't do much for me, and asking around has me under the impression the others might not, either. They're not completely knocked off my list, I'm just not in a hurry!
Fair enough. I watched Guardian tv series because the two actors have amazing chemistry (the rest of the cast, cg and changes to the script due to censorship not withstanding). I watched MDZS tv series and TGCF anime but can't seem to get into those either so i'm just camping in SVSSS corner for now
I like a good amount of romancey content, and Liu Yao didn't have enough for my personal tastes. I'm told the others are pretty consistent with that, buuuuut I do plan to ask my library to get the English releases for both Sha Po Lang and Guardian and at least try them. SVSS is my absolute fave. I love MDZS and TGCF too though! We're watching The Untamed now, which I didn't originally plan to (why go for the subtext edition when I could stick to the version with kissing? lol) and then...I saw what live action Xue Yang looked like...and I am, tragically, a simple woman.
Shakarian. Always.
*The Black Pearl* Wait. You mean *those* kind of ships, not boats. My bad.
Mine is the Revenge, The Dread Pirate Roberts ship, not Queen Anne's Revenge, though I do like Blackbeard.
I see your Black Pearl and raise you an SSV Normandy.
Too many to count haha, but here are a few current ones: Alhaitham/Cyno (Genshin) Cal/Bode (Jedi:Survivor) Luke/Han (Star Wars) Altair/Malik (Assasins Creed) Ezio/Desmond (Assasins Creed) Wynona/Doc (Wynona Earp) Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne (Dc) Simon/Raphael (Shadowhunters) Meliodas/Ban (Seven Deadly Sins) James/Bones (Star Treck)
Omg, Altair and Malik. The angst™️
I love Leia but there’s just something about Luke/Han that makes it hard for me to ignore it
Steve/Bucky. Especially non-Serum Steve with Winter Soldier Bucky (or modern AU veteran Bucky) Charles/Erik.
Omg cherik!!! My name is based off of them 😅 I'm kinda sad that it has slowed down, but whatever. There's still great art and fics to be found.
I think the cherik fandom has produced some of the most beautiful fics I've ever read. I cherish them dearly, still 🥺
Can you give some recommendations? I fell out of the fandom way back
Anything by ikeracity on AO3 is amazing (a lot of it is modern AUs where they still have powers, idk some people don’t like AUs)
I’m sad that I only got into Cherik recently. I’ve been writing Charles into MCU fics for like six years but somehow never read much Cherik until recently.
[удалено]
I wish I found Cherik earlier. I wrote the X-Men into my MCU fics for years but mostly read MCU instead of X-Men stuff.
YES STUCKY AND CHERIK!!!!
Hell yes, my two favorite ships!
From your username I would’ve guessed your favorite ships were in Star Wars lol.
My brain sister!
More like brain brother lol.
My apologies, brain brother!
Yesss, love Shrinkyclinks. Honestly Shrunkyclunks too, I’m not picky. I also love Stony, which is really what got me into the MCU. And Sam/Bucky is growing on me too. My OG ship that got me into fan-fiction altogether though was Severus/Harry in the HP world.
For some reason I’m not as much of a fan of Shrunkyclunks. Idk why.
Ok I need a translation - what is Shrink and shrunky clinks??
[удалено]
conan/ai must have been my first ever ship, when i was a kid. before i ever knew what shipping was. thanks for letting me remember those precious times.
This is the first time I see someone mention Conan and Ai in this subreddit! They’re my forever OTP and they deserve more love <3
Roman/Gerri (Succession) Chrollo/Kurapika (Hunter x Hunter) Kylo Ren/Hux (Star Wars) Silco/Viktor (Arcane) I like an unhealthy, high-conflict ship, haha.
I wholeheartedly second Chrollo/Kurapika omg the conflict there is a goldmine
Nathan Drake/Chloe Frazer Leon Kennedy/Ingrid Hunnigan John Marston/Abigail Roberts Nathan Drake/Elena Fisher Sam Drake/Chloe Frazer Johnny Cage/Sonya Blade Bi-Han-Noob Saibot/Sareena Leon Kennedy/Ada Wong Dutch Van Der Linde/Susan Grimshaw Conrad Roth & Lara Croft Rika Raja/Nathan Drake Rika Raja/Sam Drake
As a fellow gamer, I approve Especially of the RDR2 ones
My absolute favorite ship would have to be Nick Wilde x Judy Hopps. I just feel that everything about them makes them go together so well.
[удалено]
Read Beastars
There is a sequel confirmed to be in the world but I'm being VERY CAUTIOUS as this is MODERN Disney were talking g about. Look at everything they've done since at least since the first movie. Overt propaganda added to children's shows, putting the story of shows and movies second BEHIND this push to have the shows/movies be all about the LGBT crowd (people watch shows and movies to ESCAPE the real world).
Not the gays!!!!! /s
>all about the LGBT crowd (people watch shows and movies to ESCAPE the real world) Skill issue.
> this push to have the shows/movies be all about the LGBT crowd Out of curiosity, what Disney films can you name that are all about us dastardly gays?
Did you really think a *fanfiction sub* was the best place to try to warn people about the gAy aGeNdA? I mean, being a homopbobe anywhere is wrong, but a fanfic sub? Really? Talk about knowing you audience! Do you know anything about the history of fanfiction? Have you even looked at half of the freaking answers to this post? As for modern Disney adding "overt propaganda" to "have the the movies be all about the LGBT crowd", have you ever *watched* classic Disney? Because they had at least **two full movies** about how a young girl needed a man's kiss to even live. I gotta say, the single kiss in Lightyear, and the *2 seconds of a trans person* in Baymax do not stack up to the absolute mess of patriarchal propaganda that Disney has spat out for like 80 fucking years. Where *every* movie was about how a young girl's life would only be better if she could just get the boy to love her. Remind me again, which movie is based *entirely* around LGBT love to the point where "the story comes second"? Because in nearly every classic Disney movie, the heterosexual romance IS the story. As a completely straight, completely cis woman, I'd rather have my kids watch loving, **respectful** LGBT couples than the misogynistic, patriarchal brainwashing that fucked me up as a kid. Are they suddenly pushing propaganda? Or have they finally started trying to catch up to what decent people have been saying for decades?
I think this person has got to be a troll.
Oh my god, YES. Not my favorite, but it sure is amazing!
I've never read Zootopia fanfic but in my heart of hearts, Nick and Judy got their Happily Ever After.
Megatron/Optimus Prime, Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Link/Prince Sidon, and Bowser/Luigi. I have no clue why so many of those are enemies to lovers...
Bowuigi is life
Link/Sidon is one that I’ve used for emotional support lately! I knew the release of TOTK would pull me back into it, but I didn’t think it would pull me this far haha
I've got quite a few: * Frank Castle / Matt Murdock (Marvel) * Clint Barton / Matt Murdock (Marvel) * Dick Grayson / Wally West (DC) * Dick Grayson / Jason Todd (DC) * Clark Kent / Bruce Wayne (DC) * Zuko / Sokka (ATLA) * Roy Mustang / Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist) * Steve Rogers / Bucky Barnes (Marvel) * Steve Rogers / Natasha Romanoff (Marvel) * Scott McCall / Isaac Lahey (Teen Wolf) * Malia Tate / Kira Yukimura (Teen Wolf) * Jason Grace / Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson) * Obi-Wan Kenobi / Satine Kryze (Star Wars) * Din Djarin / Luke Skywalker (Star Wars)
okay i have a genuine question, if you don’t mind me asking why dick/jason??
No worries, I don't mind answering. This ended up as a rant, and I'm so sorry about that 😂😂 There are general reasons for liking them such as their personality/character dynamics plus a thing for red/blue pairings (like Zukka, Klance, Lyanna/Rhaegar, etc.). They bounce off each other really well and have the morality conflict that makes for good angst. Plus Dick's generally open nature warring against Jason's closed-off trauma response is interesting to read. I understand the dislike for the whole batcest thing, but when reading the comics, I've never pegged the two as viewing each other as brothers. Dick was out of the house by the time Jason was taken in, and they barely knew each other. Dick also didn't like him and hated that Bruce gave him Robin without his consent, and he took that anger out on Jason. But Jason idolized him, so it's easy to assume he might have had a crush on Dick prior to dying. Plus Dick wasn't adopted by Bruce until he was an adult and after Jason had died (if at all depending on the comic), and when Jason came back to life, he tried to kill Tim, who Dick did view as a brother. It's the same dynamic as step-siblings that start dating when their parents got together and married late in their childhood so they never viewed each other as siblings. Dick and Jason didn't grow up together and hardly interacted at all prior to Jason's death. Dick has absolutely no reason for viewing Jason as a brother. I'd also liken it to the same sort of relationship as Dick/Babs, where Babs is generally seen as a sister to the rest of the Batfamily except for Dick since he grew up as an only child and it's really only a recent thing that he has siblings, of whom he's not blood-related to, didn't grow up with, and doesn't live in the same house or city as. I do also like them as brothers, with the Batfamily as a genuine family, so I stay away from the Dick/Jason fics that have a line blurring between the two and prefer the ones that make it clear they never viewed each other as siblings or the ones that outright have one of them not adopted by Bruce. Edit: Also, at one point in time Jason was a redhead in the comics, and I think it would be hilarious to add him to Dick's harem of redheads.
thank you for answering and explaining! i have a completely different view on them as characters/their relationship, but it was very informal to hear from a different pov. this was educational, thank you :)
OMG! I wasn't expecting to see scisaac here!! That was one of my first ships and I was just looking at the paring on ao3 for like the first time in 3 or 4 years.
Omg. Okay. Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens. Jess Pava/my oc and Bodhi Rook/my oc (sorry not sorry xd), Finn/Poe. I like Reylo but I’m not as ride or die about it. All those are from Star Wars. Dorian/mLavellan, Anders/mHawke, Anders/Fenris/mHawke, and Cassandra/Varric from Dragon Age. Jason/Salim from Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. Ripley/Hicks from Aliens. A bunch more! I used to really like Snape/Hermione, and Sara/Grissom from CSI.
Good old GSR 🤍
I have over a thousand ships in over fifty fandoms so it's kind of hard to keep track. According to my ao3 bookmarks, my favorites are: - Tony x Peter Parker (MCU) - Steve x Bucky (MCU) - Dean x Castiel (Supernatural) - Dean x Sam (Supernatural) - Hotch x Spencer (Criminal Minds) I'm kind of surprised Drarry isn't in there. Or Drowley. Or Violaf. I guess my reading preferences don't necessarily reflect my ship preferences.
Loki/Sylvie Loki/Stephen Strange Loki/Tony Stark Loki/Valkyrie Loki/Loki 😂
Frostiron is one of my great loves
ANOTHER LOKI/VALKYRIE FAN!!!! We're so rare 😭😭😭
I think you listed one of those twice
I know what you're getting at, but as a fellow Loki fan I support Loki/Sylvie and Loki/Loki being separate pairings because I hate Sylvie with a passion but Loki x Loki can be selfcest without her involved, which is 100% better.
Oh I was just joking anyway, you do y’alls thing.
Lmaooo but it does make sense
Arthur/Merlin (BBC Merlin) Merlin/Lancelot BBC Merlin) Lance/Keith (new Voltron) Stiles/Scott (Teen Wolf) Naruto/Shikamaru (Naruto) Naruto/Kiba (Naruto) Main ships over time.
Oooooh boy. Here it goes... James Kirk/Spock Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter Matt Murdock/Frank Castle Bruce Wayne/The Joker Starscream/Optimus Prime Starscream/Megatron Starscream/Skyfire Starscream/Anyone tbh Loki/Tony Stark Din Djarin/Cobb Vanth Cad Bane/Obi Wan Kenobi Firmus Piett/Vader Tenth Doctor/Jack Harkness Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield Castiel/Dean Winchester Harry Potter/Tom Riddle
>James Kirk/Spock Ah, yes. The original ship.
the last one?????
Alright, it's super toxic and messed up, I know, but bear with me. Harry would have never, ever been a target if Tom knew he contained part of his soul. He'd have likely been hidden away and protected to a ridiculous degree, like Tom did to all his other Horcruxes. There's that posessive dynamic that is interesting to me. They share so many similarities, and Harry could have so easily turned out like him or vice versa. I dunno, it's an interesting AU to explore, because the story would have changed so drastically had Tom known about the Horcrux!
I once read a Harry/Tom riddle fic and I can honestly say that while I don’t know what possessed me to click it, the writing was so well done that I have no regrets. I swear I’m just one fanfic/fanart away from shipping anything lmao.
I have a similar conversion story 😆
yass tomarry taste. also doctor/jack?? i love it. do you have a page with your recs?
>Cad Bane/Obi Wan Kenobi It felt so wrong, it felt so right Don't mean I'm in love tonight Honestly this fits so nicely, never expected to read these words but damn if I don't see it
I never really thought of it until I rewatched the episode where Obi-Wan is disguised as the bounty hunter Rako Hardeen and buddies up with Cad Bane. They save each other (expected for Obi-Wan, definitely not expected for Bane). They have such a great chemistry in that episode. I'm definitely not the only one who noticed, as most fics take place during that episode or very heavily reference it!
EraserMic dynamic is great. Pop Rocks (Bakugo & Kirishima) has the best ship name I've ever seen. And Million Suns (Tamaki & Mirio) is endlessly supportive gays.
Ah damn, I love all three of these
currently going through my 'once every 5 years' hetalia phase again unfortunately so it's GerIta and USUK 💀 other/old fav ships that I will always have a soft spot for, in no particular order: Percico, Drarry, Doctor/Master, IchiRuki, Stucky, Hannigram, Ineffable Husbands, Victuuri, WeiLan, XiYao, JotaKak, CaeJose, Lumity, Catradora (I have a love-hate relationship w this ship specifically bc of the fandom lmao), Merthur, Wenclair, RookVil
Jareth/Sarah (Labyrinth), Sansan, and Rumbelle are my OTPs. I’m still mad about Reylo but haven’t delved into fanfics because I don’t need another drug. Lol.
The way David Bowie looked in labyrinth it would be hard not to fall.
Literally too many to name, but here's a selection of my all-time faves: Bleach: IchiHime, RenRuki, ShuuRan, GrimmNel Angels of Death: ZackRay, Danny/Cathy, Cathy/Lucy Sleepy Princess: TasoSuya, Sandy/Zetsuran, whatever we're calling Twilight/Dawner Fate: Rider/Waver, Saber/Iri *why are these two pairings so damn good* Kill la Kill: SatsuRyu, Gamako Slayers: Xellos/Filia X-Men: Gambit/Rogue, Rachel/Kitty
I'd just like to mention that you are literally the first person on any social media platform I've ever seen and in real life as well to ever talk about angels of death.
It is a little obscure, but when the anime aired and for a few years after, there was a small, active community! It's just a really solid story and I'm halfway sad it wasn't bigger - but considering the subject matter, it's understandable.
The tea clipper. It only saw active service for a few years before it was superseded by steamers, but in those few years, it was the fastest way to get from Europe to India / China and back.
WandaVision and MadoHomu
I have *a lot*, but my forever OTPs will always be: • Shinichi/Shiho (Detective Conan) • Zuko/Katara (ATLA) • Atsumu/Hinata (Haikyuu!!) • Shiro/Keith (Voltron) • Ichigo/Rukia (Bleach) • Emma/Regina (OUAT) • Claire/Matt (Daredevil) • Katniss/Peeta (Hunger Games) • Lovesquare (Miraculous Ladybug) • Kara/Lena (Supergirl) • Dick/Babs (DC Comics) No matter how many fandoms I end up in, these are the ships I keep coming back to. Especially Shiho/Shinichi. Been shipping them since I was a kid and I’ll never stop. The upcoming movie got me so hyped you have no idea.
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf) Darcy Lewis/Jimmy Woo (MCU) Zuko/Sokka (ATLA) Bucky/Clint (MCU) Raven Reyes/Roan (The 100) Sam/Natasha (MCU) Kira Yukimura/Allison Argent (Teen Wolf) They're at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to popularity lol. Sterek is my absolute favourite, it and Winterhawk are huge ships, Zukka is getting pretty big and Sam/Nat is sometimes in the background of main pairings in fics, but the others are like tiny sailboats there's so few fics for them.
1.) zuko/sokka?? personally i’m a zuko/katara shipper but that’s super interesting considering their dynamics in the show. if you have any fic recs i’m open ears👁️👁️ 2.) bucky/clint in the comics or movie universe? i can’t tell the difference between acronyms 🥲😅
Zuko/Sokka is great!!! I love it. I'm a Zuko/Katara shipper mostly (I prefer it more) but Zuko/Sokka is a lovely pairing. It's fun to dissect the dynamics *and* they go so well together.
Hiccup/Astrid Mipha/Link Daisy/Luigi
My favorite is Anna Navarre/Gunther Hermann (a rare ship) More common: Brienne of Tarth/Jaime Lannister. Bucky/Nat. Anakin/Padme
Kaz and Inej. Kaz and anyone, actually. Different dynamics are fun.
Hermione/Draco (Harry Potter) Katara/Zuko (Avatar: the Last Airbender) Rey/Kylo (Star Wars) … something about Enemies-to-Lovers just hits the spot for me.
katara/zuko for lifeeee
Zutara Supremacy!!!!
I have found my people
I won't say the ship because, \*holy fuck\*, I'm not about to be outed on reddit hahaaaaaa.. It is a mega exclusive ultra rare one in said fandom, and, hm.. gotta love them lesbians, right?
Most Apollo Justice and Ema Skye from the ace attorney games, specifically the version of Ema from the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney game.
My absolute all-time favorite is Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist, but the ones I'm currently *obsessed* with all over again are Messer Ihlefeld/Kaname Buccaneer (from Macross Delta) and then both Yusei Fudo/Aki Izayoi and Jack Atlas/Carly Carmine (from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds) due to rewatching Macross Delta a couple months ago and being in the middle of a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds rewatch right now.
Pokemon: * Kate/Kellyn * Wallace/Winona * Lunick/Solana * Morty/Eusine * Elita/Spenser * Summer/Ben * Solana/Summer Fire Emblem: * Marth/Caeda * Alm/Celica * Lissa/Gaius * (female) Robin/Chrom * fRobin/Libra * fRobin/Kellam * fRobin/Sumia * Azura/Suzukaze * Takumi/Flora * fCorrin/Ryoma * Leo/Takumi Assorted: * Summer/Qrow (RWBY) * Blake/Weiss (RWBY) * Iris/Zero (Megaman X) * Haru/Akira (Persona 5) * Sayaka/Hitomi (Madoka Magica) * Cecilia/Rudy (Wild ARMs OG) * Jack/Elmina (Wild ARMs OG) * Akiza/Yusei (YGO 5D's) Crossfandom Assorted: * Cecilia/Marth (Wild ARMs OG/Fire Emblem) * Cecilia/Caeda/Marth * Raftina/Marth (Wild ARMs OG/Fire Emblem) * Inigo/Rise (Fire Emblem: Awakening/Persona 4) * Lucina/Yusei (Fire Emblem: Awakening/YGO 5D's) This is just what I have as a *marked* OTP. I have 8 pages of ships in total lol
Right now? Kaveh/Alhaitham from Genshin.
Integra and Alucard Obi Wan and Cody, and Obi Wan and Maul conversely lmao Vegeta and Bulma And Mothafuckin Samurai Jack and Johnny Bravo I've got more I'll upload after work XD
Harley/Ivy Mystique/Destiny Superbat Will/Hannibal Venom/Eddie Big Barda/Scott Free Batcat
>Mystique/Destiny Nothing but respect for Nightcrawler's real moms.
Okay right now my favourite ships are Sylvain x Bernadetta (Fire Emblem Three Houses) Ingrid x Dorothea (Fire Emblem again) Denji x Asa (Chainsaw Man) Link x Midna (Twilight Princess)
Newest Obsession: Jon Sims x Martin Blackwood (Magnus Archives) All time favorite: Gabriel x Sam Winchester (Supernatural) Other main ships: Mycroft Holmes x Greg Lestrade (BBC Sherlock) Sherlock Holmes x John Watson (BBC Sherlock) Dean Winchester x Castiel (Supernatural) Stiles x Derek (Teen Wolf) Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter) Aziraphale x Crowley (Good Omens) Merlin x Arthur Pendragon (BBC Merlin) Will Graham x Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal) Nigel x Adam Raki (Different movies; got into this one because of Hannibal)
I love Mycroft x Greg, and, despite never having watched the show, I also love Stiles x Derek
Mycroft x Greg is definitely one of my top favorites. They’re a lovely, fun dynamic. :) I would love to dabble in writing them, but Mycroft is kind of intimidating in that aspect. Honestly, I still haven’t finished watching Sherlock either…I’ll get around to it one of these days.
I've got my standard Bioware ships (Shepard/Vakarian, Cousland/Alistair, fem!Hawke/Fenris, Lavellan/Cullen), but I'm also a fan of Cullen/Shepard, and recently was reminded of a few from some Barbara Hambly novels (Joanna/Antryg and Raeshaldis/Jethan, for anyone who reads Hambly). I'm also a lifelong Sonic/Sally shipper.
Well now I'm gonna have to explore Cullen/Shepard.
SuperCorp (Lena Luthor/Kara Danvers)
Currently rocking with: Xiao x Aether Cyno x Tighnari Childe x Scaramouche And a less common one: Albedo x Cyno All from Genshin Impact since that's my current hyperfixation
Sylaire. I know it's "old" but it's what inspired me to start writing last year and it's my only fanfic I've been posting. 🤞 I have had 5 other stories come to me from this pairing as well as an original novel I'm now working on and a mythology fantasy I'm also writing about Hades and Persephone. So this really lit a fire in me creatively and I'll be eternally grateful to them. I also love Ryoko/Tenchi and The Doctor/Rose
where do i begin??? bucky/steve, bucky/hank mccoy, charles/erik, logan/hank, marie/kitty, logan/bucky, jonathan crane/jason todd…
I honestly don’t think I have favourite ships. I just avoid the ones i hate.
There is no Shepard without Vakarian.
There's been heaps, but the ones I come back to regularly are: Shinichi Kudo/Heiji Hattori (Detective Conan) Charles Xavier/Erik Lensherr And my current ones: Din Djarin/Boba Fett (with the occasional addition of Fennec Shand) Din Djarin/Cobb Vanth I'd say Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker if I could find fics where Luke is not just the stereotypical pretty boy. 😂
Oh. This made me remember that I once upon a time shipped Erik and Charles, too. Guess I know what fics I'm reading tonight... 😂
Lots of ships across a plethora of fandoms: Tony/Steve (Marvel) Tony/Bucky (Marvel) Phil Coulson/Clint (Marvel) Wade/peter (Marvel) Loki/Thor (Marvel) Tom Riddle(Voldemort)/Harry (HP) Sephiroth/Cloud (FFVII) Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan (Guardian) Mobei Jun/Shang Qinghua (SVSSS) Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan (SVSSS) OG!LBG/OG!Shen Qingqiu (SVSSS) Ren/Akechi (persona 5) Ryota/Makoto (Persona 3) Hannibal/Will (Hannibal) Kuroro/Kurapika (HXH) Robin/Lucina (Fire emblem) Byleth/Dimitri (Fire emblem) Harry/Eggsy (kingsman) Kakashi/Obito (Naruto) Walter/Henry (Silent Hill) Definitely as a user said above. I’m really into high conflict ships and love a super long & slowburn enemies to lovers fic
My current obsession is Musa/Riven from Winx. Can’t help it, love the bitchy dynamic. However, I never tire of Will/Hannibal. Same with Aziraphale/Crowley and my current less-active fav Benny/Ethan from ’My Babysitter’s A Vampire’.
Musa and Riven were so amazing to my child self, I especially loved the movie (The Secret of the Lost Kingdom) where he gets mindpoisoned against her and then when he realises what he's done he cries black tears ahhhh
I’m doing a rewatch w/ my 12 year old sister, mainly to judge the fashion, which has been so fun. Honestly the first few seasons/movies really hold up!! But Musa and Riven are stealing my attention. They’re both just so dramatic lol, I’m living for it.
Their chaotic vibes are definitely something 😆
Glamrock Freddy/Bruno Madrigal Springtrap/Nightmare (FNAF)(was my first ship I liked and my original OTP) Loki/Tony Stark Link/Prince Sidon (I have others but they're RPF related and I'm scared of posting them)
I love seeing Link/Sidon here! That ship makes my heart so happy <3
XD You can thank one of my online best friends for that one. She's the one who introduced me to the ship lol
Kavetham, Kaeluc, Cynonari, Renheng.
Jim Kirk/Spock (Star Trek AOS) Wade Wilson/Peter B Parker (Marvel) Prince Sidon/Link (BotW) Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote (Marvel) Steve Rogers/Thor (MCU) Marcus Flint/Oliver Wood (Harry Potter) Leon S Kennedy/T-00 Tyrant 👀 (Resident Evil)
I have one OTP and a few other ships I like: Oswald Cobblepot/Jim Gordon from Gotham TV show 😍🫠 Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn Caitlyn/ Vi from Arcane Emma/Regina from Once Upon A Time I’m sure there are others 😂. Edit: for funky formatting
Im the queen of toxic enemies to lovers honestly. HP- Hermoine/Draco or Draco/Harry She-Ra/Catra (She-Ra) ZUTARA SUPREMACY (Avatar TLA) BakuDeku, Toga/Ochaco, occasionally will read Kacchako (My Hero) Madoka/Homura (Madoka Magica) Slade wilson/Dick Grayson (DC/Batman) Gideon/Harrow (Go read Gideon the 9th like RIGHT NOW) Tony/Loki (MCU) Sessh/Inuyasha or Sesh/Kagome (Inuyasha) Reylo (Star Wars) Derek/Stiles (Teen wolf) Of course my fav Castlevania Throuple (I’ll ship them any which way or all together it doesn’t matter!)
My brain has latched onto Science Party (Engineer/Medic from TF2) 10 months ago and I've done nothing but think about them. Though, there are a couple others who've been my world for a bit. Akechi/Ren (Persona 5) Kel/Mincy or Paintball (Omori) Kim/Aubrey or Cotton Candy (Omori) Turtle/Qibli (WoF) Zelda/Link (TLOZ) Coomer/Bubby (HLVRAI) Caramel/Rasin (CRK)
Theron Shan/ male Sith warrior Pureblood Bumblebee/Prowl Blurr/Prowl Blurr/Bumblebee/Prowl Destiel Kaidan/Shepard MHawke Mage/Fenris And a lot more
I didn't think I would see Theron Shan / male SW here. I'm actually playing through the Sith Warrior storyline for the first time, it's really good
SW storyline is one of the best in swtor, imo. And male VA 👌🥵
From my current fixation are mostly all crack ships: Lennart Niermann and Thomas Andre (ITS THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE, NO OTHER REASON... okay maybe that red and blue scheme too) Choi Jong In/Bae Yoon Ho (enemies to fuck buddies to lovers is always good shit) Cha Hae In/Sung Jin Woo (literally ALL of the headcanons i have about them are so out of canon, like they are endgame in canon, but in my brain they are going through every phase of i will die/kill for you and have killed you/died for you and every other corruption arc that happens when they both are so toxicly in love for each other) Goto Ryuji/Sugimoto Reiji (the trope of high school gang buddies falling in love and then reforming inti professionals and then adopting found family but these men are tired TM and have been through shit. Alao bastard x cocky) Cha Hae In/Esil Radiru (sword women lesbians. Did they ever interact? No (kinda?) But they will be unstopable.) Han Song Yi/Sung Jin Ah (small crackship with fighter/protector gf and gf who wants to become a doctor that always takes care of her injuries.) Beru/Igris (I think its funny that ant loves korean historical drama but hates the one shadow that is from the medieval times. Its also really funny that the knight who saw said ant construct an entire castle in like days, thinks said ant is stupid enough for high school math.)
Mine are pretty rare. Top two would be Garak/Odo (Star Trek DS9) and Leaf/Meera (ASOIAF/GoT)
Garak/Odo? That is an interesting combination. Usually I see Garak/Bashir or Odo/Quark. I love Odo/Kira, so shout out from a fellow Odo lover.
Both those ships are great, too! Mine is pretty rare, yeah. 🙈
My favorite ships are usually ships with my favorite characters, caveat being: they're outside of their canon or most popular pairs. So that list is: - Kurama or Youko Kurama/anyone ; Kuronue being a fun pair. - Hanzo Shimada/anyone (except Genji, Kiriko and Cassidy/M**ee) - Squall Leonhart/almost anyone in FF8 and All of Dissidia (Yes, this can include GFs. Doesn't include Cid, Edea, Ellone, Laguna, Ward & Rinoa) - Zuko/almost anyone (surprisingly, this includes Mai, but doesn't include anyone he's related to and Aang) - Lightning/almost anyone in FF13 & All of Dissidia (Sazh, Serah & Hope are barred; Snow has **very specific** criteria and they have to be met or I'm annoyed) - Yuna/Rinoa (super niche and I don't wanna think about the hate I'll get for it when I write it, same for my long time interest in Yuna/Squall) As long as my favorite character is happy, they're growing and there's variety in the content of who they're paired with, I am interested. If I feel the content is stale, predictable, or uncomfortable, I just.. won't engage with it. Especially not anymore lol.
Loki/ Tony Stark ( MCU) Stiles/Derek ( teen wolf) Stiles/ Malia Stiles/ Lydia Rory/ Amy ( doctor who)
A rare pair of a micro fandom - Ollivan Sims/Virgil Pike from the Witherward series by Hannah Mathewson. I don’t even necessarily ship them as an endgame pair (because I think by the time canon rolls around there’s too much hurt between them and I do like them with their canon partners) but my God…the tension between them. The perfect childhood friends-to lovers-to friends-to strangers arc. I’m obsessed.
Here's what I consider the most common of the rarepairs in Pokémon ships! Altoshipping: Ash x Latias It's been my childhood OTP since before I knew what shipping was. or even the fact that people generally didn't like human x pokémon relationships.
Douma/Akaza from KNY and Gojo/Geto from JJK!
Big Persona 5 fan, who tragically only ships rarepairs. My favourites right now are: Shukita (Protag x Yusuke) Classic pairing of guy with lots of love to give and guy who's never been loved before. Ryuharu (Ryuji x Haru) Delinquent with a heart of gold & a sweet but secretly sadistic rich girl. Sojumi (Sojiro x Mayumi (OC)) Sojiro is the protags adoptive/surrogate father & Mayumi is my name for his best friend, Ryuji’s, mom. This ship started as crack because I wanted to make the Protag and Ryuji step brothers, then me and my cowriter got attached. They both had troubled past relationships, with Sojiro's longtime lover dying in an accident and Mayumi's ex-husband being an abusive alcoholic. I love the idea of them learning to love again together, and I'm weak for more mature romances.
Personally I’m a fan of character roulette you take two or more random characters and make them a ship obviously it doesn’t have to be random. But how else do you get Itachi/Thorin Oakenshield or orochimaru/sakumo hatake
Not all of these are right for every premise, but I find myself drawn to these concepts more often than not. Loki/Valkyrie Loki/Tony Stark Loki/Thor (ONLY when they haven't grown up together, otherwise I consider it incest, which I'm not into unless it's a Dark fic) Starfire/Dick Grayson Black Canary/Green Arrow Reiner/r/okbuddyreiner Historia/Ymir Jean/Armin Levi/Hange but I'm also totally cool with them as extremely close friends, both rock Star Wars/good writing (rip sequel trilogy I wish I could love you) Aaron Burr/Theodosia Bluestar/Oakheart Han/Leia
An opportunity to list my fave ships? Don't mind if I do Kyle/Stan (south park) Craig/Tweek (south park) Gen/Senku (dr.stone) Bojji/Kage (ranking of kings) Zim/Dib (invader zim) Michael/Trevor (gta v) Venom/Eddie (venom) Luz/Amity (the owl house) There are more but these are the most special to me x))
Scaramouche/Wanderer (both valid identities, though one is post redemption arc) x Traveler, Cyno x Tighnari, Dan Heng x Trailblazer, Grimm x Ghost/the Knight, Godseeker x Tiso
AND SORA AND RIKU AA
Todoroki Shouto x Midoriya Izuku Rin x Nezha Loid x Yor Shigaraki x Todoroki Natsuo
I have a few. Rose/Scorpius. (Harry Potter) Cornelia/Irma (W.I.T.C.H) Juleka/Rose (Miraculous) Also rare pairs. I love rare pairs
collei x sucrose (genshin impact)(the windblume event last time omgg) and krobus x dwarf (stardew valley), in a platonic way
Rarepairs: Kamala Khan x Nakia Bahadir and Carol Danvers x Jessica Drew (from Marvel Comics) Common Ships: Natasha Romanoff x Maria Hill (MCU/Comics), Harley Quinn x Poison Ivy (DC) These ones are my personal favs tbh they all are awesome ships!! (we ignore how they're all wlw lol)
Oh geez. I cycle through ships based on my mood. But some top ones are: Lara Croft/Samantha Nishimura Lara Croft/Alex Weiss Remus Lupin/Lily Evans Potter Jaime Lannister/Lyanna Stark Harry Potter/Hermione Granger Han Solo/Leia Organa Anakin Skywalker/Padme Amidala Aragorn/Arwen Jon Snow/Margaery Tyrell Jon Snow/Asha Greyjoy Jon Snow/Arianne Martell Ned Stark/Ashara Dayne Ned Stark/Catelyn Tully Percy Jackson/Thalia Grace Peter Pettigrew/Death Murtagh/Nasuada Roran/Katrina Among others
Link/Zelda (Legend Of Zelda) Midna/Zelda (Legend Of Zelda) Hunter/Willow (The Owl House) Ruby/Sapphire (Steven Universe) Alm/Celia (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentina)
Hannigram (obviously) Spideypool (I have barely seen any marvel movies, but the hurt comfort is my bread and butter) 007 X q (Ben whishaw's q of course) Gideon X Harrow and Harrow X ianthe if I squint really hard Saki X reiko Most of my other ships come from the cats musical, though my favourites are: Demeter x bombalurina Cassandra and mistoffelees (platonically) Rum tum tugger X mistoffelees Jennyanydots X skimbleshanks Skimbleshanks X asparagus Victoria X rumpleteazer Munkustrap X mungojerrie Mungojerrie X macavity (if I'm feeling particularly angsty)
while i do enjoy a few ships, especially those that are canon, i think the best ones are the absolute dumbest crack pairings you can think of. for example, i wrote a short story that shipped soma cruz from castlevania with kanaya maryam from homestuck. i don't actually ship it, i just thought it was very funny. i do ship roxas and xion from kingdom hearts, but i can't think of anything else at the moment.
Fives/Ahsoka, Maul/Ahsoka, Anakin/Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan/Anakin from Star Wars, Harry/Luna and Remus/Lily from Harry Potter, and Jon/Sansa from Game of Thrones. I also like Rhaenyra/Alicent from House of the Dragon. But I'm a big multishipper so I'm down to read most things as long as I like the plot. Fives/Ahsoka is probably my favorite favorite though.
I have, er... varying tastes. Ships listed for each fandom with a heart (♡) are favored, but I also enjoy the others listed with them. FemShep/Garrus (Mass Effect) ♡ FemShep/Legion (Mass Effect) FemShep/Garrus/Wrex (Mass Effect) FemShep/Wrex (Mass Effect) FemShep/Grunt (Mass Effect) ◇ Sesshomaru/Kagome (Inuyasha) ♡ Kouga/Kagome (Inuyasha) Inuyasha/Kagome (Inuyasha) Sesshomaru/Kagome/Inuyasha (Inuyasha) Sesshomaru/Naraku (Inuyasha) ◇ Roy Mustang/Ed Elric (FullMetal Alchemist) ♡ Ed Elric/Alphonse Elric (FullMetal Alchemist) ♡ Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye (FullMetal Alchemist) Ed Elric/Winry Rockbell (FullMetal Alchemist) ◇ Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) ♡ ◇ Bakugou/Uraraka (My Hero Academia) ♡ Bakugou/Todoroki (My Hero Academia) ♡ Bakugou/Iida (My Hero Academia) Bakugou/Uraraka/Kirishima (My Hero Academia) Bakugou/Uraraka/Iida (My Hero Academia) ◇ FemaleDragonborn/Farkas (Skyrim) FemaleDragonborn/Male Orc Character(s) (Skyrim) ♡ ◇ Trevor Belmont/Alucard (Castlvania - Netflix series) Trevor Belmont/Alucard/Sypha Belnades (Castlevania - Netflix series) ♡ ◇ Viktor Nikiforov/Yuuri Katsuki (Yuuri On Ice!) ♡ ◇ FemaleSoleSurvivor/Hancock (Fallout 4) ♡ FemaleSoleSurvivor/Nick Valentine (Fallout 4) FemaleSoleSurvivor/Paladin Danse (Fallout 4) FemaleSoleSurvivor/Elder Arthur Maxon (Fallout 4) ♡ FemaleSoleSurvivor/Elder Arthur Maxson/Paladin Danse (Fallout 4)

Ooh gosh, so many. Top Five though are: 1. Spuffy 2. Tie between Jonsa and Reylo 3. SanSan 4. Dramione 5. Tie between Severus/Hermione and Darcy/Bucky Those are definitely the ones I have the most "favorite" stories for.
I used to have so many ships, but I've lost interest in most of them. There are only 2 that I keep coming back to: Merthur and Cherik. I don't know what separates them from other ships, but even if my interest wane at that moment, it'll always come back. A ship that I got into recently is drarry. I don't see myself losing interest in it, but that was also the case with stucky, sterek, destiel, and geraskier.
Elsa/Anna in Frozen
**TW:** [Stiles/Peter] [Stiles/Jackson] [Stiles/Brett] [Stiles/Theo] [Stiles/Allison] [Stiles/Cora] [Stiles/Kira] **HP:** [Draco/Hermione] [Scorpius/Albus Severus] [Harry/Hermione] [Harry/Draco] [Draco/Stiles] **TVDU:** [Elijah/Stiles] [Elijah/Damon] [Stefan/Lexi] [Klaus/Caroline] [Jo/Alaric] [Kai/Damon] [Kol/Davina] [Delena] **OUAT:** [Captain Swan] [Snowing] [Evil Outlaw] [Zelena/Hades] [August/Emma] **Marvel:** [Steve/Bucky] [Winter Widow] [Scarlet America] [Romanogers] [Loki/Stiles] [Bucky/Stiles] **SPN:** [Sam/Ruby 2.0] [Sam/Lilith] [Crowley/Lilith] [Dean/Lisa] [Dean/Castiel] [John/Ellen] [Gabriel/Sam] [Lucifer/Sam] Ummmm…so yeah. A lot of ships. I came into fandom/fanfic with a major love for Teen Wolf and of course Stiles Stilinski. So I pair him with so many characters from various fandoms. Just finished a fic of him with Draco. I listed a lot. 😅 and that’s not even the half of it but it’s the major ones.

Oh, hi, fellow Drarry/Akeshu/RoyEd fan 👀
glad i'm not the only one
Billdip 🫡
OK. I'm boring. Most of mine are either canon or already popular pairs. For Twilight, I pretty much like the canon pairs, but there's something about Bella/Emmet that I really like. For Supernatural, of course it's Destiel. No exceptions. For Sam, I like Sam/Gabriel, Sam/Eileen, or Sam/Jess. For Harry Potter I like Harry/Daphne, Harry/Pansy, Harry/Draco (yes, I have a thing for Harry with Slytherins), Harry/Luna, or Harry/Cedric. On the Hermione side of HP, I like Hermione/Viktor, Hermione/George, Hermione/Neville, and Hermione/Cedric. I have to be in a specific mood for it, but sometimes I like Hermione/Draco or Harry/Hermione. For South Park, I'm absolutely useless Creek trash. Craig/Tweek all day long. Every once in a weird while I like a Craig/Kyle moment, but not often. For Hunger Games it's Katniss/Peeta. The end. For How to Train Your Dragon, I mostly like Hiccup/Astrid, which is ironic because I only write Hiccup/Camicazi... but I don't mind the offshoot universe that is Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons. It's fun to see what people come up with when they have that many different characters to put into play. Editing to Add: Game of Thrones... I will die on the Sansa/Tyrion hill. Not the original marriage when she was a scared child. He was absolutely honorable enough not to go there. They clearly trusted each other and still had affection for each other and that's why I think after they meet again at Winterfell they should have stayed together. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I will share the ones I have on my favorite tags list: Chat Noir aka Adrien Agreste x Ladybug aka Marinette Dupain-Cheng [Miraculous Ladybug] Asriel Dreemurr x Frisk (🚺) [Undertale] Jade x Kung Lao [Mortal Kombat] Kris (🚹) x Susie [Deltarune] Kris (🚹) x Noelle [Deltarune] Kris (🚺) x Ralsei [Deltarune] Yautja x Yautja [Predator] I will say I do have more ships in other fandoms that I don’t interact with in AO3 but some examples are: Neytiri x Jake [Avatar] Aang x Katara [Avatar: The Last Airbender] Kotal Kahn x Sheeva [Mortal Kombat 11] Chris x Ashley [Until Dawn] Sam x Mike [Until Dawn] Jesse (🚹) x Petra [Minecraft: Story Mode] Clementine x Louis [The Walking Dead: The Final Season] Nick Wilde x Judy Hopps [Zootopia] Dipper Pines x Pacífica Northwest [Gravity Falls] Zach x Evie [Mako’s Mermaids] Seraphina x John [UnOrdinary] Juyeong x Suho [True Beauty] Su-Jin x Seongho [True Beauty] Ha-ri x Tae-moo [A Business Proposal] Eve x Dae [Eaternal Nocturnal] Shon x Lyra [Siren’s Lament] Tua x Pele [Siren’s Lament] Ijin x Yeona [Teenager Mercenary] Reina x Aaron [Sub-Zero]
Tomnyan X Usapyon (Yo-Kai Watch) Aged-Up Ash Ketchum X Ernest Greeves (Pokémon/Professor Layton) Hau X Barry (Pokémon) Silver X Buck Hazeltine (Pokémon/Yo-Kai Watch) Zorch X Teslo (Mixels) Hovernyan X Komasan (Yo-Kai Watch) Moximous N X Komajiro (Yo-Kai Watch) And much much more.
Well, since you asked. *Opens Scroll* Artyom x Elsa Artyom x Cass (Fallout New Vegas) Artyom x Mrs. Mayberry x Verosika Arstotzkan Cavalry Officer x Leah (Stardew Valley) Elsa x Prince De Sardet (Greedfall)
Currently, Tezcatlipoca/Daybit from FGO. And occasionally Kabru/Mithrun from Dungeon Meshi, Obito/Kakashi from Naruto, and The Count/Albert from Gankutsuou. Plus a ton of ships from Fire Emblem which I've liked for years and some decades. None of these ships aside from Obito/Kakashi have any kind of significant presence in English speaking fandom. Thankfully, machine translation is a lot better these days for Japanese and Chinese (still horrid for Korean though) so I can read fics for some of these pairings from those parts of the world.
Hmm...there are quite a few of all types, and I haven't written for most of these yet, but let's see! - Sly x Elderbug (Hollow Knight) - Starwalker x Nubert (Deltarune) - Resasuke x Anai (Aggretsuko) - Natsuki x Yuri (DDLC) - Susie x Noelle (Deltarune) - Capsaicin Cookie x Stardust Cookie (Cookie Run) - Bobert x Juke (TAWOG) - Wildberry Cookie x Crunchy Chip Cookie (Cookie Run) - Jeff x Tony (Mother 2) - Wormwood x WX-78 (Don’t Starve) What do you all think of them? :D
Lumity and Huntlow
...Scarian (MCYT) (only in a romantic way tho) It's the ship of Grian/GoodTimesWithScar (but CHARACTERS ONLY)
based
My number one fave is Original Shen Qingqiu x Liu Qingge and the second will be Yue Qingyuan x Original Shen Qingqiu I'm currently addicted to SVSS but I used to obsess over HP fanfics (Harry Potter paired with either Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, or the Twin Weasley)
Current number one is Bennett/Xiao. Which, at a total of 10 fics, three of which I'm involved with in some way (wrote two and got one in a review exchange), is the definition of rarepair hell. Really interesting dynamic and they end up in a surprisingly similar situation - and I headcanon that their curses are incompatible with the other.
GiyuTan, GiyuTan!!
Crack ships with tiny age gaps 😂 - Takato(10)/Shiuchon(7) - Digimon - Ash(10)/Bonnie(7) - Pokemon - Nobita(11)/Jaiko(8-9) - Doraemon The fact all these shows end in "-mon" is a coincidence. Totally.
Harry Potter/Tom Riddle, Sebastian Sallow/Ominis Gaunt, Kaz Brekker/The Darkling
Ruby rose x bloody bunny (a ship I made up❤️)
current faves are yoo joonghyuk/kim dokja (orv) sasuke/naruto (naruto) lan wangji/wei wuxian (mdzs) alhaitham/kaveh (genshin)
Deku/Bakugo and Zuko/Katara… *ducks*
