Let's give this board a little more life. I know we all have them, in all our fandoms. So who do you ship the most? Is it canon or not?
Mine are definitely not canon. I've already admitted that I ship Dramione hard.
I also have some off the wall MCU ships. I like Darcy Lewis's character, even though she's pretty minor, and I ship her with Winter Soldier or Loki. I'm weird that way.

I'm a sheep, a tv show, movie, or book tells me "these two characters should be together!" I am generally just content with that 😛 But I'm halfway through Defenders and shipping Murdoch and Jessica even though that would be the hottest of hot messes.

They'd probably implode, both of them are so self-destructive.

I...have a lot of ships. From a lot of places. And most of them are pretty niche. Usually, there's some basis in canon for them, but occasionally I'll get a good crackship going.

Name names Rama , I love a good crackship Mmmm, the ones that come to mind immediately are from a cellphone dating game called Mystic Messenger. Zen x Seven and Jumin x Seven. There's also a bunch of ships in a webcomic called Homestuck that I'm into. The whole thing is a giant shipping mess and it's both horrible and amazing. I'm not sure ANYTHING counts as a crackship, but my faves are mostly canon or common anyway. In FFXV, I lowkey shipped Noctis x Prompto and Gladius x Ignis, but I don't think those are crack. Last night I started considering Widowmaker x Mercy from Overwatch, which is probably the most recent thing resembling a crackship I've got. A friend of mine was talking to her sweet, innocent husband about crackships a few weeks ago and he is so adorably out of sync on what a crackship is, it's kind of hysterical. For example, when asked what he crackshipped, he said Inuyasha x Kikyo. I laughed so hard.

Okay I have so many ships. Avengers, which is my favorite fandom. Captain America/Black Widow is my OTP. I love Darcy with Cap, Bucky, Loki, Clint Barton, but Ill ship her with just about anyone. Bucky/Natasha, Cap/Lady Sif, which is such an underrated ship, Cap/Maria Hill, Tony/Pepper, Clint/Laura, Im pretty open to most ships depending on the story. Doctor Who Ten/Rose 10.5/Rose Amy/Rory Mass Effect I ship them all but Shepard/Garrus is my main. I also ship Shepard/James Vega, Shep/Thane, Tali/Garrus, Liara/Javik Harry Potter, I am just barely getting into HP fic thanks to housecarderHarry/Ginny, Harry/Luna, Hermione/Draco, Hermione/Sirius, Hermione/Fred Weasley, Hermione/Lupin, James/Lily I ship Jason Bourne and Nikki from the Bourne Identity movies Dragon Age FemCousland/Alistar

mischief DAO was the first video game DH ever convinced me to try. My FemCousland/Alistair love is unmatched in all media. FemShep/Garrus comes closest.

MH played that one out. I am forever a femShep/Liara kind of girl. Tali/Garrus is my favourite. DAO I was never sold on any ships. Wanted to romance Morrigan but nooooo. My ship in DAI was inquisitor/Sera. It was the sweetest relationship. And so silly. I did start a new playthrough to see how the elf/Solas ship plays out though... and I'm still salty I couldn't romance Cassandra as a female character. Other ships I have been into: Firefly - Kaylee/Simon so THANK GOD that movie happened because I was going to be pissed if they never got to be together. Buffy - Faith/Spike would have been awesome and when I ran/played on Buffy RPGs I actually did play out this ship with a friend. It was hot. We wrote some good fanfic that no longer exists. I also shipped Fred/Wesley on Angel and then they ended up together so I was cool with that. And then Illyria happened and I cried a lot over a television show because it was so heartbreaking. BSG - Roslin/Adama for obvious reasons. Starbuck/Anders before it happened and Starbuck was the worst.

misskilljoy, Serenity made me happy and stomped on my heart at the same time I actually have really enjoyed the Mal/River ship. It's definitely off the wall. I also like Mal/Inara. For Buffy, I ship Willow/Spike. Or Willow/Angel.

I hated Buffy/Spike with a passion though.

My biggest one is Fred and Hermione. She and Ron work, but something about Fred just makes sense for her. Well, other than Fred dying and her having to cope with that as something more than a family friend.
Remus and Sirius is one that I see floating around quite a bit and I like it. The best version of that Sirius was in love with James, but James loves Lily. Remus just thinks he's bummed because his best friend is hanging out with his girlfriend more than him, so he and Sirius start hanging out more, but then they realize they are in love.

Oh, and in Star Trek: Next Generation, I liked Worf and Deanna together. It pissed me off that in the last episode's futures sequences, she had died.
I know he went on to be in another ST series and she didn't, but I still liked them together.

I also ship Ezri x Bashir because TENSION DAMN. But I'm also a Bashir/Siddig fangirl *stares at avatar*

And finally getting married in Nemesis just felt like a cop out. Like, we've been hinting at this possibility for about 20 years, might as well just do it. I guess I don't like any of Deanna's relationships!

I also ship Fred/hermione, and when I need a change I read an excellent Charlie/hermione years ago that made me like that pairing too. I have been looking for it ever since (it was on my favorites list on my old account). Ginny/not-dead Cedric (that mostly presented in my own terrible writing) Draco/Ginny
Hermione/sherlock
I also like a well-written Edmund or Peter pevensie/OC
Don't judge but I also ship marinette/Adrien from Miraculous Ladybug...it's a show my 2yo son likes on morning cartoons. I can't stop watching it.

I'm in the same boat as you with the Remus/Sirius ship, although Sirius/James is also in my wheelhouse. Back when I wrote fic, it was mostly slash, and I didn't have a particular OTP, although R/S came close. I consider it basically canon. I also loved a good Harry/Draco story. My first ever ship was Mulder/Scully and it still has a special place in my heart.

If we're going with childrens' series, I firmly believe that Heihei from Moana and Chickaletta from Paw Patrol are a match made in stupid chicken heaven.

I like the ones that start with lb/Cn and then they do a reveal. It gives me closure, all the near misses in the show kill me! 😂 Do you have any fics you liked?

I, unfortunately, haven't delved much into the MLB fic pool yet. I'm currently stuck refreshing the AO3 DDADDS page for Dadsona/Robert and I have a pretty one-track mind. <<;;
