Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.
Couple of things first:
+ I'm sticking to TV shows. Plus Harry Potter. Because if I open this up to, like, books or movies or something? It'll never end.
+ My definition of shipping for the benefit ofslaymesoftly (seriously, I love that you got me thinking about this): couples whose dynamic I enjoy. I always perk up when they're onscreen together, knowing something interesting will be revealed about one or both through interaction with the other. Plus a romantic bent (because I have that reaction with, say, Spike and Dawn or Kendall and Cassidy, but there's nothing sexual going on in my mind, you know?).
+ These aren't necessarily in order. Just in the order they popped into my head (which may tell you something, I don't know.)
1. Spike/Buffy (Buffyverse)
2. Veronica/Logan (Veronica Mars)
3. Ron/Hermione (Harry Potter)
4. Coach/Mrs. Coach (Friday Night Lights)
5. Lynda/Spike (Press Gang)
6. Jackie/Hyde (That 70s Show) [btw, I will never forgive the showrunners for pairing her with Fez at the end. These two need each other. Like really, really need each other in ways I can't even describe.]
7. Mal/Inara (Firefly)
8. The Fighting Agathons (Battlestar Galactica)
9. Blair/Chuck (Gossip Girl)
10. Victor/Sierra (Dollhouse) [I'm loving them at the moment. Who knows whether they'll have staying power?]
And I've only just started watching Farscape, but I have a strong feeling that I'm going to be shipping the hell out of John/Aeryn very, very shortly.
Honorable mentions go to: Spike/Angel (I don't usually view them in a romantic/sexual way, though that's okay sometimes, but I just adoreadoreadore any time they're interacting. There are no words); the Doctor/Humanity (ha!); Adam/Elle (my one major fanon pairing); Mac/Cassidy; Rory/Jess; Wash/Zoe.
The thing I've noticed? ANGST. I LIKES IT. (Also, happily married couples.)
