Shipping Tropes

These tropes are about people getting involved in characters' romantic relationships. Since real-life people are infinitely more into pairing fictional people than fictional people are, most of these are Audience Reactions. For tropes actually dealing with ships, please look here. For the shipping of tropes, consult the Trope Co catalog. Warning: loads of puns head!
