Professor Bhaer in Little Women! Sometimes it feels to me like everyone in the fandom thinks Jo should have ended up with Laurie in the end, and that the Jo/Bhaer ship is inherently ridiculous. But I am pro-Bhaer!!! Especially when you read the sequels (Little Men and Jo's Boys) where it is so clear what a good partnership they make, that they have similar values and interests and support each other in what they want to do. (lol this is probably me being too ace again!)

But even in Little Women itself (if you ignore the weird Moralizing About Types Of Stories content that Alcott put in because this was a kid's book even though she anonymously wrote gothic thrillers herself) Bhaer is just a kind, odd, warmhearted fellow who's happy to be himself, and I love him.
