Totally canon, swear to crack.

As any shipper knows, continuity is no barrier for The Power of Love. The logical extreme of this is Intercontinuity Crossover Fan Work.

As a general rule, this is much more light-hearted and less Serious Business than intra-continuity shipping, favoring the Rule of Funny instead of an unironic OTP. These ships are usually labeled as Crack Pairings, but it's not impossible to make some of them seem like they can actually work, depending on various factors.

When you factor in Non-Linear Sequels like the Final Fantasy series that have multiple continuities, series with a multiverse and even official Massive Multiplayer Crossover franchises like Super Smash Bros. and Kingdom Hearts, it all turns into Schrodinger's Ship, as it becomes simultaneously impossible and Canon-friendly.

Theme Pairing holds a lot of Crossover Ships. Common Crossover may relate.

Since there's a infinite number of possible crossover pairings, don't be surprised if you don't see a crossover pairing that already has fanart, fan videos and/or fanfiction for it here.

See more on the image links page.

Examples of Crossover Ship include:

Canon Examples

• There's a semi-canon example in the Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men novel Planet X, where Captain Picard and Storm express interest in one another, but decide not to pursue it since they're... y'know... from different universes.
  • So does that mean she has a thing for Professor X?
• The DC/Marvel series in the 90s gave us a short Robin/Jubilee romance which was actually quite nicely done, in a rare example of a canonical crossover ship.
  • Made Hilarious in Hindsight due to the fact that the two were combined in the Amalgam Universe to become Sparrow.
  • One of the one-issue "giant crossovers" from the 1980s teased the readers with hints of Beast Boy (then "Changeling")/Kitty Pride. Another played with the concept, possibly to parody it, by having Spider-Man ask Wonder Woman if she thought it was too early in their relationship to consider marriage (they had met, and briefly fought, only a few minutes earlier).
  • A Wolverine/Witchblade crossover licensed by Marvel and Top Cow started with Logan and Sarah Pezzini getting married! Obviously it didn't last.
  • JLA-Avengers sees Kismet and Eternity, the avatars of the DC and Marvel Universes respectively.
• Believe it or not, the Syfy channel has embraced this trope, pairing up Claudia and Fargo in their Warehouse 13/Eureka crossover episodes. At first, it just seems like a mutual crush that won't go anywhere, but then, Claudia's boyfriend breaks up with her. Then, Claudia comes to Eureka. As they search for what's causing that week's problems, there is some flirting, and after being saved from a minefield, we get a full-blown makeout.
• The crossover episode between Totally Spies! and Martin Mystery teased Martin/Alex and M.O.M./Jerry.
• Super Robot Wars has quite a few, most notably Amuro Ray and Misato Katsuragi, due to the fact that their voice actors also played Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon, respectively.
  • Oddly, Amuro (or Hiroshi) never seem to get paired up with Murrue, Tonya, or Vega. Vega's married, but the other two...
  • Setsuko Ohara of Super Robot Wars Z and Shinn Asuka in Z is probably the most supported pairing, if not, the prime Crossover Ship in existance, as it's one of the few that actually makes a lot of sense considering their close relationship in-game. Because of the presence of Setsuko in the game and how Gundam SEED Destiny's events are rolled out in her route, Shinn's glaring flaws from the original story are actually fixed, or at least mellow them down. It helps that Setsuko can relate with Shinn on an emotional level. Arguably, this fanon pairing has become the best example of this trope. It helps that they actually do become very close in the game.
    • It's strange that Kamille is left out of any crossover shipping in Z, since he , Shinn, and Setsuko form a tight trio after her squad is killed by Asakim. Kamille and Shinn are best friends on Rand's route as well, so it's hard to belive the crazy fangirls haven't run away with that by now.
  • Super Robot Wars Original Generation also pairs up a few characters who made their debut in different games/continuities: Ryusei Date and Latooni Subbota, Folka Albark and Shouko Azuma, and Axel Almer and Einst Alfimi.
    • Amusingly, fans use Excellen Browning's off-hand comment about not minding if it's Femme Fatale Viletta Vadim to ship the two of them. Then, there's the case of Excellen with Lamia Loveless...
  • In a weirder example, in the OG series, the Wildfalken & Wildwurger mechs were created by mating weapons and armor derived from the Pact series' Alteisen & Weissritter to Alpha series Huckebein frames.
• Jeph Jacques and Sen Diaz have drawn Hannerlore/Kimiko slash.
• It was an April Fools flash game, but this for Ragna the Bloodedge and Heart Aino.
• In The Wizards On Deck with Hannah Montana crossover, Justin/London, Max/London and Zack/Alex are teased.
• In the Image Comics-published third volume of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michelangelo hooked up with Horridus from Savage Dragon.
• Tom Thumb and Thumbelina is an actual film built around a Crossover Ship of Public Domain Characters.
• One Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover has Bumblebee and Scarlett.
• When Power Rangers Wild Force teamed up with the previous Time Force team, they teased Eric and Taylor.
• In a crossover with American Dragon: Jake Long and Lilo and Stitch Grandpa ends up with the old shop owner.
• Cassie Hack and Evil Ernie in Hack Slash: The Final Revenge of Evil Ernie. Bomb Queen also hits on her in their crossover, but she's an Anything That Moves type.
• There's a Crossover Punchline at the end of one Boy Meets World episode in which Eric is on a date with Sabrina.
• In a spin-off series in the Eighties and Nineties, it was impled that Nancy Drew and Frank Hardy had a crush on each other (Poor Ned and Callie). Similarly, there was a much more faint flirtation between Bess Marvin and Joe Hardy.

Fanon Examples; Inspired by Canon

From works that have had an official crossover.

• There are fanvids of the Ron Stoppable and American Dragon: Jake Long crossover ship as well as a few pics and fics. Because they both had a crossover with Lilo & Stitch they are in the same universe (as are others).
• Thanks to Cartoon Network's new crossover MMORPG, Fusion Fall, there is Dexter/Ben, Dexter/Numbuh 5, Dexter/Blossom (though that could have been influenced by the Doujinshi), Eddy/Frankie and Computress/Professor Utonium.
  • All of the above are either canonical or have some... interesting Subtext.
  • On the other hand, an old Cartoonnetwork.com game, Cartoon Cartoons Summer Resort Part 4, has you playing matchmaker by pairing up some of the Cartoon Cartoons guys with the right girls. Said pairings as are follows: Buttercup/Dexter, Blossom/Edd, Bubbles/Courage, Deedee/Chicken, and Suzy/I.R.Baboon.
  • An even earlier Cartoon Network ad showed that Johnny Bravo and Velma dated, but it didn't work out. However, another ad years later showed them going to dinner, implied heavily to be romantic.
  • Blossom/Aku, it even has a fan-following on Deviantart.
• There are enough Shonen Jump crossovers to justify any number of Bleach, Naruto & Dragon Ball ships; not that anyone needed an excuse.
  • Yoruichi X Sakura art exists.
  • As does Kakashi X Yoruichi
• In House of Mouse, a throwaway panel showed Jafar and Maleficent at the same table—with Mickey whispering that the two were on a date. Disney fanatics instantly took a shine to the two as a couple.
  • If that doesn't work out, House Of Villains and The Kingdom Keepers suggest that she and Chernabog would be great (and dark) together.
  • House of Mouse also gave us |Hades having a bit of a crush on Maleficent. There's also potential in Black Pete, given his servant-like relationship to her in Kingdom Hearts.
  • Dr. Facilier is supposed to resemble the love child of Cruella de Vil and Captain Hook...
• Johnny the Homicidal Maniac / Zim. Or Johnny / Dib. These are quite common, actually.
• Ever since the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 trailer came out, people have started shipping Iron Man with Morrigan. Considering she appears to be seducing him that and trailer and they both have particuarly amorous reputations...
  • This same trailer has Morrigan stabbing Deadpool in the ass with her tentacles and Chris Redfield performing a Diving Save to prevent Morrigan from falling to her death after Iron Man gets a sneak attack in on her. These are used as "evidence" for Chris/Morrigan and (humorously so) Deadpool/Morrigan.
    • Morrigan seems to be switch-hitting between Tony and Chris in the openings. In the Episode 2 trailer, after Iron Man saves Viewtiful Joe but fails to do the same for Amaterasu, Morrigan saves Ammy and then blows a kiss to Iron Man. In the Episode 4 trailer, the last shot is a still showing all of heroes and villains duking it out... except for Morrigan, who is seen lovingly wrapping her arms around a flustered Chris, perhaps as a way of saying thanks for saving her in Episode 1.
  • There's also been a boom in Dante/Morrigan (which had been around at least a few years prior to MvC3); it's probably Dante's most popular ship next to/alongside Dante/Bayonetta.
    • In a Mythology Gag to Dante's meeting with Nevan (yet another Horny Devils) in Devil May Cry 3, the two are seen flirting if they're on point against one another. Dante's also says, "Mmm, baby. I love it when a girl gets violent!" at his win screen should he defeat Morrigan last in battle.
  • In C. Viper's reveal trailer, Iron Man is hitting on C. Viper in the pre-match intro, causing some to ship them as well. Iron Man and Morrigan seem to launch ships left and right.
    • Well, actually, Iron Man hits on every female in this game not named Amaterasu. This includes Tron Bonne and X-23, who are respectively 14 and 16, as well as Hsien-Ko, who is (technically speaking) dead. Fans jokingly suggest that the only reason he doesn't go after Ammy is because he doesn't know that Ammy is a she. Should he win against any of them, he muses, "Told you... a nice candlelight dinner would've been better." Should he win against Morrigan, his quote at the win screen reads as such:

"I think we can sort out our differences over dinner. I'll have the best chefs flown in."

• • The above Iron Man examples are all compounded by this web animation.
  • There's also Hulk and Felicia. It's actually rather cute.
    • Felicia and Super Skrull appeared together on one game-affiliated t-shirt. Cue the fans on Capcom's official forums shipping them together.
    • And thanks to the Episode 4 trailer, Haggar/Felicia.
    • Felicia also has a humorous win quote against Deadpool: "No, I don't care how much catnip you have, I'm not getting into the car with you!" How you interpret this one is up to you.
  • From Hulk's Big Damn Heroes moment in Episode 3, Hulk/X-23.
    • This one technically isn't a crossover ship as the two exist in the same continuity. Though it is pure crack, as aside from the age difference (she's 16, Hulk's pushing 40), the one time these two have met involved Hulk beating the hell out of her friends and throwing her through a building.
  • And another one for Morrigan. She apparently has a fancy for Wolverine (her quote at the win screen reads, "You have a beastly charm I just find so, so intriguing."). She also cameos in his ending as an exotic dancer trying to seduce him. Wolverine relents to her whimsy... but not before he finishes his drink.
  • Chun-Li surprisingly has the hots for Thor.

"Tall, blond, and handsome--you're my type of guy... But do you have to carry that hammer everywhere?"

• • In his quote at the win screen, Viewtiful Joe finds She Hulk to be attractive. The same could be same for Spencer, who goes on a sort-of-but-not-quite-date with her in his ending.
  • Morrigan's ending has her openly flirting with Mephisto and Sattanish.
  • Crossover Shipping in this series actually happened before MvC3. As early as Marvel vs. Capcom 1 did Gambit's ending have him flirting with none other than Morrigan (her total number of ships, excluding a few dubious examples in 3, is up to six right now, if you lost count). Before anything can get off of the ground, Rogue swoops in to carry Gambit away, much to Morrigan's displeasure.
  • Shuma-Gorath displays a creepy fondness for Hsien-Ko, going as far as to propose to make her his bride. Also, Morrigan herself shows an interest in Shuma's tentacles.
    • Keep in mind that 95% of the examples above come from the game itself. This isn't even getting into Fan Art. Marvel vs. Capcom 3: If it breathes, this game will ship it.
• Samus/Fox has had a following every since the very first Smash game.
  • There Will Be Brawl also gives us Captain Falcon/Pit
  • And Kirby/Jigglypuff. Long before Brawl in the Family.
  • Samus/Captain Falcon is also pretty common, and another favourite of Brawl in the Family.
  • What, no Link/Samus? There are quite a few fans of this out there.
    • As does Peach/Samus. And Zelda/Peach. And Peach/Zelda/Samus, for completion's sake.
  • Likewise are there a number of fans for Pit/Samus.
  • Really, Marth, Roy (remember him?), Ike, and Link have been shipped with anyone and everyone (the female characters, each other, etc.) since the Gamecube era.
• Ever since Super Smash Bros. Brawl Samus/Solid Snake has become rather popular.
  • Also Ike/Pit and Link/Soren
  • While we're there, it just adds fuel to the great old ship: Sonic/Mario.
  • Some people even pair Sonic with either Samus, Zelda or Peach.
  • Prior to the idea of Samus/Snake, Nintendo Power implied that Samus was dating Jango Fett.
  • Bara fans seem to love any combination of Captain Falcon/Snake/Ganondorf.
• Before Megaman's inclusion in Smash, Dueling Analogs did Samus/MegaMan. They got married! Then it got disturbing...
  • Phoenix's SSBB Case Files gives us Phoenix Wright/Samus, as well as Samus/Solid Snake, and even Pearl/Pit, and thanks to Megaman being in both Smash Bros and Marvel vs Capcom, this can all be considered a shared universe.
• Hayley Smith / Meg Griffin (or "HayMeg") has quite the following on Deviant ART (also counts as a Theme Pairing with both being the unappreciated daughters on Seth MacFarlane shows). As of now there's been no art adding Roberta Tubbs to make it a One True Threesome, but one of these days it's bound to happen.
  • And Stewie with Maggie.
• The fusion of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, aka Warriors Orochi, played this to the extreme. Now we have Cao Pi/Mitsunari, Ling Tong/Okuni, Sun Shang Xiang/Inahime, Tachibana/XingCai, and so on and so forth...
• Ever since the release of Dissidia Final Fantasy, the fandom has exploded with inter-series crossover pairings. Most notable of all: Gabranth and Terra, often adding Kefka as part of a Type 7 Love Triangle with Terra as the "Alice."
  • Sephiroth/Kuja, however, predates Dissidia by several years.
  • Cloud/Terra has a following as well, as do Firion/Terra and Firion/Cloud. Why these three? Besides Cloud's interactions with both of them, Dissidia heavily implies that Firion and Terra remind Cloud of Zack and Aerith, and their personalities are reminiscent of them as well. It didn't take long for shippers to go from there. It helps Terra has no canon love interest.
  • Cloud/Yuna has been popular for awhile now; a recent boom no thanks to Dead Fantasy.
  • On the Chaos side, there is a large following for pairing up Emperor Mateus and Ultimecia due to their alliance in-game. They even briefly form a Battle Couple in the intro to lure Terra into one of the Emperor's Death Traps.
  • Also, Exdeath/Cloud of Darkness. Three guesses why.
  • The prequel, Duodecim, gives us Firion/Lightning due to their mutual bonding over flowers. Comes complete with Ship Tease, as Cecil (the only canonically married member of Team Cosmos) plays the role of Firion's wingman and takes his embarassment over wanting to talk to Lightning as romantic interest.

Fanon Examples; Unique Creations

• Besides for the many below examples, the characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer get this a lot. Captain Jack Harkness/Ianto/Dawn, Xander/Cortana, Buffy/Mal, Dawn/Jayne, Giles/Captain John Hart and oh so much more.
  • Xander is the Buffy fandom's crossover shipping bicycle. He's been spotted with everyone from the Charmed Ones to the girls of Stargate SG-1.
• Queen Elsa x Jack Frost has been a popular fan pairing, with tons of fan art and fanfics to boot despite them being Disney and Dreamworks properties respectively. On a somewhat more sinister note, the pairing between Elsa and Spider-Man has been a staple of Elsagate videos, i.e. Tijuana Bible-esque takes on popular children's characters being passed off as "educational" videos.
• Captain Mal Reynolds and Dawn Summers has been seen at least twice.
• Erik X Mag and Norrington X Eponine. Thank you, Roommates. It's Spin-Off Girls Next Door brought Jadis X Darkness into our nightmares.
• Light Yagami x Lucy [1] [2] [3] [4]
• Light Yagami x Sadako from The Ring [5]
• Lelouch Lamperouge x Light Yagami [6] ^{[dead link]}
• Morrigan and Shepard. Or really any combination of the characters from the Dragon Age and Mass Effect universes.
• Kakashi X Starfire.
• Ty Lee X Rock Lee. It... almost makes sense. [7][8]
• Reaper!Bones and Jim Kirk have a noticeable fan following.
• Teen Titans: The Abridged Series: Beast Boy being shipped with Sephiroth.
• Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series: Pyramid Head/Nemesis. Their love is so unstoppable!
• Avatar: The Last Airbender: /co/ ships Azula/Doctor Doom. They have a daughter named Cynthia.
  • Azula left Doom, complete with a "Dear John" letter. Apparently the good Doctor has rebounded and is going out with Squirrel Girl, but rumors of Azula returning are flying around.
• GLaDOS/SHODAN
  • GLaDOS/HAL, as illustrated in this Xkcd strip.
  • GLaDOS/AUTO.
  • And now, we present GLaDOS/AM. Apparently, it didn't work out.
• Fandom_Wank ^{[dead link]} has probably come up with the best, though: Toph/Tony Stark
  • • /co/ also has Toph/Venom
    • And recently, Toph/Riley
  • /co/ loves this. There is Cassandra Cain/Terry McGinnis art floating around. It works so well.
    • May Parker/Terry McGinnis is popular too ^{[dead link]}. Scans Daily ships it.
  • Dude. Kohaku and Deadpool. No, seriously.
  • Another seemingly popular one is Azula and Itachi. It works if you ignore the fact that Itachi was apparently a good guy all along. Seen here.
  • Another popular /co/ ship is Anne Marie (the girl from the early Above The Influence ads) and Frankie.
• There is a surprisingly large amount of Shinichi/Kagome floating around the internet...
• Harry Potter gets shipped with pretty much every available female character from every other fandom out there.
  • There's an awful lot of Harry/Buffy fiction out there... and if it's not Harry/Buffy, it's Harry/Willow. And even a lot of Harry/Xander too.
    • And the occasional Willow/Hermione.
    • And the crazy person who wrote Willow/Draco
    • There's also a fair bit of Willow/Snape.
    • Hermione/Spike.
  • Harry Potter/Edward Cullen. Probably one of the most shipped crossover couple ever.
    • And, in the same vein, Luna Lovegood/Jacob Black.
  • Harry Potter/Shinji Ikari.
  • Harry Potter/Wednesday Addams
  • Harry Potter/Chang Wufei...and where he's usually Trowa's cousin. Or brother.
  • Harry and Usagi Tsukino
  • Lord Voldemort/Pikachu on FD.net.
  • Luna Lovegood/Giant Squid/Marvin the Paranoid Android.
  • There's also Greebo/McGonagall fic out there somewhere. It...almost works.
  • Two words, Usagi Black
  • Snape/Jesus exists. Yes, it was on a dare.
  • Harry Potter/John Shepard from Stargate: Atlantis
  • The Joker/Harry Potter [9]
  • Umbridge/House
    • Of course if you've seen Sense and Sensibility...
  • Hermione Granger/Spencer Reid, which this LJ community seems particularly fond of.
• There's quite a bit of fanart of Link/Amaterasu. Understandable given the former is a wolf in Twilight Princess.
  • Well if Link stayed in wolf form and went to Feudal Japan...
• Speaking of video game animal ships: Agro/Epona. Both are horses that the main character uses to ride throughout their respective games.
• There is a fic pairing Ichigo Kurosaki and Asuna Kagurazaka, after they bonded over their big swords. In a bit of a subversion, both considered a romantic relationship to be too "weird" and instead opted for "friends with benefits".
  • They basically skipped the romance part of settling down.
• A Love Triangle of sorts has developed between Samus, Master Chief, and Iron Man.
  • Which makes Solid Snake the Third Option Love Interest...
    • Pikachu can come too.
  • Haloid resulted in many yuri fans shipping Samus/Nicole which counts as a triple crossover ship.
• A rather infamous fanfic features, among other things, Wario meeting and marrying Cartman's mom
• Waldo and Carmen Sandiego. Where are they? At least their small-but-growing fandom is easy to find, not so their child.
• Saber and Kohaku. No, really. They're adorable, actually. Kohaku loves to cook, Saber loves to eat; and they both understand wanting to live their lives over.
• Azula/WALL-E. Because there is no better way to help cure Azula of her Villainous Breakdown. (This is a friendship pairing, not a romantic one, mostly because if EVE found out, Azula would not survive the night.)
  • Pfft, Azula would reduce EVE to scrap in seconds.
  • AWWWW! Must... draw... fanart... (Not THAT KIND!)
  • I've heard similar arguments (albeit for a non-romantic kind of pairing) for Azula/Monkey D. Luffy.
• There are numerous Fan Fiction featuring Ranma ½ paired with girls from all over fiction, on top of his Unwanted Harem (especially unwanted by the fans). The girls of Sailor Moon are a common choice, if he is not one already.
  • He has been paired off with Brittany Diggers (Of Antarctic Press' Gold Digger comic), despite the fact she's a werecheetah, meaning he could never face her wereform without snapping.
• And speaking of Sailor Moon, the Sailor Moon crossover category at Fanfiction.net is all about Crossover Ships, especially pairing Usagi with some other guy besides Mamoru. There are even two dedicated categories for Gundam Wing and Dragonball Z crossovers, mostly because the shows all aired on the Toonami block around the same time.
  • Usagi tends to get paired up with a lot of characters from other series, as this YouTube video proves.
  • There's a Sailor Moon/Urotsukidouji crossover out there with a bunch of original male characters. The author avatar even sneaks in on Rei masturbating, says "Bitch! Prepare to get fucked!", she likes it, and the next day he's complimenting her technique in Lakota, forgetting that he's in Japan. My theory? The writer got an online translator.
    • The Sailor Moon girls have an annoyingly frequent habit of getting paired with the Saint Seiya boys. There are reasons, of course-they're roughly equal in number, and there are so few females in SaintSeiya that if you wanted a het ship you'd probably have to use a crossover. Also, if you try you can get characters with matching hair colours to pair up together...
  • There are a surprising number of Sailor Moon/XMen crossovers that run the gamut of serious to silly but one of the most consistent aspects is the shipping Sailor Mercury/Nightcrawler.
• Wilbur/Violet has gained a small, yet growing following. Figment Jedi believes he might have been the first to think of it, in response to seeing Wilbur encountering a Violet look-alike in a storyboard featured in the Art of Meet the Robinsons book.
  • Violet/Raven is also quite popular.
  • Wilbur also gets paired with Penny in several stories...and it kind of works actually.
• There is a pairing for Gwen Tennyson/Jason Todd
• There's a fairly big fanclub for Danny/June, though some find it Squicky because of the age difference.
  • To be fair to the Danny/June fans, June is aged up from 11 to 13 for less Squick. Jake/June is also a popular alternative.
  • Also, Danny/Raven.
  • Don't forget Danny/Kim
• Also, Ryan Evans/Love Momozono.
  • But Ryan is...
    • Pfft, as if that's ever stopped the shippers before...
• Squilliam/Strong Bad.
• Death The Kid and Kitsu Chiri; their love is so symmetrical!
• There is one extremely weird example of, of all things, River Tam being shipped with Heat. It stemmed from the two encountering one another during a multi-author Mega Crossover, with Heat equating River with Sera. She latched on to him because he was protective of her, he latched onto her because she reminded him of Sera. Things got even weirder from there, with Heat doing his cannibalism thing and River being not-at-all freaked out about it. The thing had a rather powerful and sad Did Not Get the Girl Downer Ending, as there wasn't any sex, just very rough kissing (with biting and some bloodplay involved) and a whole lot of insanity, and the two had to split apart at the end of it because Heat refused to take River back to a world as screwed up as his and had no place in hers. It was really well-done, especially on the part of the author writing Heat's part of the story.
  • There are a few Buffy/Firefly crossover fics that ship Spike with River Tam. This works remarkably well as crossovers go. Spike, who spent over a hundred years with Drusilla and was then haunted by the First Evil, has significant experience with people who "see things" and is in a better position to relate to River than anybody in Firefly canon. Spike's immortality makes it easy to rationalize his presence in the Firefly universe: he just lives long enough to leave Earth-That-Was with the rest of humanity. Then there's the fact that having been born in Earth-That-Was makes him an (un)living memory of a time that is seen as legendary by the inhabitants of the 'Verse.
  • There's a growing number of Riddick fics.
• Almost all the YouTube videos of StelladeSolaria are about Stella from Winx Club and Ben 10. And they're popular. 1 million+ views popular.
• There are quite a few pictures where Rouge the Bat from Sonic series and Jewel Man from the Mega Man series are paired up probably due to their similar looks and personality traits.
• Cheshire Crossing introduced the villainous pairing of Captain Hook/Wicked Witch of the West.
• Zuttercup (Invader Zim and Powerpuff Girls) .
  • Zim's plans would all be possible once he hooked up with Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
  • Don't forget Lenore / Squee, too.
  • In speaking of Powerpuff Girls and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy ...someone has paired up Bubbles and Nergal Junior...don't believe me? Check Deviantart... [10] and [11]
• I've seen more than one fic pairing Xander with Wednesday Addams.
  • How does that even work?
    • Quite well, through various devices. And then there's the one Harmony/Wednesday fic, which used the common conceit that Harmony is actually Amanda from the Addams Family (both were played by Mercedes McNab).
  • Faith (or Buffy or Dawn) is often paired with one or more of the Winchesters. Or Alec.
  • And there's lots of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Stargate SG-1 Crossover fic out there, and a lot of it has Crossover Ship, including Jack/Buffy (Squick!), Clone!Jack/Dawn, Faith/Vala, you name it.
• Yes, there really is a fanfic series that pairs up Dr. Frank N Furter and Captain Jack Sparrow.
• Ozymandias/OscarWilde. Just try to tell me they wouldn't be perfect for each other.
  • Better yet. Ozymandias/Alexander the Great/Hephaestion threesome. Enjoy.
• Soma Cruz/Botan. Basically, Dracula/Death as heterosexual teenagers.
• How about, hmm, Antauri/Maguro?
• The characters of Baccano! seem to lend themselves curiously well to crossover shipping, particularly Luck Gandor, who to all appearances is the fandom's Launcher of a Thousand Ships and has been shipped with characters from D.Gray-man, Gundam 00, Persona 3, and more.
  • Claire Stanfield/The Corinthian. Yes, it exists.
    • Speaking of the Corinthian, him and Sheldon Sands having ridiculously good sex.
  • Nice Hollystone/Tavish DeGroot (aka The Demoman). Mostly because both love explosives, and both have lost an eye due to said explosions.
• Jim/Ariel sort of makes sense, but this girl on Deviant ART has successfully won me over
  • Jack/Ariel exists as well
• Sephiroth/Sydney works surprisingly well. Add Ashley or Aeris for bonus threesomes.
• Estelle/Jin Kisaragi is already being worked on. Quite recently, actually...
• Venom/Orochimaru shipping is out there.
  • Orochimaru/Voldemort.
  • Voldemort / Orochimaru / Medusa. Because One True Threesome is just better. And, you know, the snake thing.
• Naruto/pretty much anyone. A couple of examples: Nanoha, Asuna, Konoka, Evangeline A.K. MacDowell, Orihime, Yoruichi, Moka and a lot more besides.
  • Or All of them at the same time.
• Dib + Lilo. OTP.
  • I'll see your DALR and raise you Dib/Luna Lovegood.
• "F___ing" Ribbons Almark and "F___ing" Proist Darius. One is a Magnificent Bastard of a Big Bad in a Real Robot series. The other's one for a Super Robot series. Seems obvious to me.
  • God forbid if 00 and Legend Of Daiku-Maryu are ever put in the same Super Robot Wars game...
    • Forbid? Why would you EVER want that forbidden?
• Alucard/Abel Nightroad has somewhat of a following, as evidenced by this (which has over 800 favorites to date), this and this.
  • Of course, there's also the lulzy theory on this very site that Alucard's female form is in fact Abel's MOTHER. The father? Vash The Stampede.
• Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, and iCarly have multiple crossover ships. Nevel/Megan is probably the most popular of these.
  • With the addition of Victorious, Cat/Freddie and Jade/Sam are quite popular. The idea that a Drake and Josh/iCarly crossover might happen also fuels Freddie/Megan support.
• Haruhi Fujioka and Haruhi Suzumiya. People have already thought of it and drawn it (pictures are worksafe, ads on page may not be).
• Konata Izumi/Haruhi Suzimiya is also popular, because they're both Kyoto Animation characters voiced by Aya Hirano (and Wendee Lee in English).
• There is also plenty of people who ships Jack Skellington/Emily and Jack Skellington/Victor Van Dort. There is also Jack/Jack.
• Hiei/Hotaru Tomoe a.k.a Sailor Saturn. ...It works.
  • Considering that their series' respective creators are married to each other...
  • Suburban Senshi ships L/Saturn.
  • Lovehammer gives us Ciaphas Cain/Hotaru Ship Tease.
• Goblin manages to hook up with Harley Quinn in I'm a Marvel, I'm a DC. It's just as messed up as it sounds and twice as funny.
  • And just because the creator loves doing it, he also gave us Poison Ivy and Sandman. Which makes sense if you think about it, except she'll probably cheat on him with Aquaman.
• Edward x Maka. Probably because of this.
• Pretty much a staple of "multifandom" Journal Roleplay games. Since these games dump characters together into one common setting, they can become Serious Business (particularly since LJRP itself is serious business), although they're often suggested for simple crack as well.
• GarnetxNoctis has not only developed a following on YouTube, it even has fic now. Yes.
• Rufus Shinra/Vetinari. Possibly the most softly-spoken fic you'll find.
• There's a decent following out there for Russia/Yuuka, seeing as they're non-human psychotics with a mutual thing for flowers.
• There is an surprising following in Japan for Reimu and an Elvaan knight from Final Fantasy XI named "Buront" in Japanese Image Boards. Here is worksafe example. And they've apparently adopted Rumia.
  • It is based on a Real Trailer Fake Game on nicovideo called The Iron of Yin and Yang.
• Some Touhou fans ship Yuyuko and Kirby as a Theme Pairing, because they share a common interest.
  • There's also a small following for Flandre Scarlet and Broly.
    • Most Touhou heterosexual pairings are Crossover Ship due to the setting.
• /M/ had this idea that Shinji and Noriko would make a good couple.
• Artemis/Alex from the Artemis Fowl series and Alex Rider books have a surprisingly large fandom, considering they would probably hate each other.
• One of the most mind-numbing, and downright offensive: Goku and famed teenage holocaust victim Anne Frank. Seriously, someone went there. Sage has the horrid details.
  • It's a Troll Fic.
• Vaarsuvius/Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! Unfortunately this was left unfinished. But it was awesome while it lasted.
  • One of the strips implied that apparently celestial administration ships Cruella De Vil and Sauron
• Thanks in no small part to a little fanfic called The Way of Things, Rose/DI Carlisle has an impressive following.
• Pairing Noctis of Final Fantasy XV and Lightning of Final Fantasy XIII (popularised when XV was known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII) is surprisingly popular, and has been even before the release of either game, if FF.net is any indicator.
• There is fanart for Skwisgaar Skwigelf / Nanny Ogg, based around the logic that a rock star who Likes Older Women and a Badass Dirty Old Woman would be a good match.
• There are some fanart examples of Sakura/Nanoha. Two little, cute, and godlike-powerful girls. Just try to imagine what would happen if Nanoha fires a Starlight Breaker when boosted by Sakura's "The Power" card.
• Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to clean up your brain matter after Your Head Asplode from witnessing the greatest crossover pairing ever conceived: B/ASH, otherwise known as Buffy Summers/Ash Williams. BEHOLD!
• JediAnnSolo's Massive Multiplayer Crossover comic series AGENCY seems to be built largely for the purpose of shipping Sandy Cheeks and Shadow the Hedgehog.
  • Correction: JediAnnSolo has repeatedly stated that Sandy/Shadow is not Agency canon. However, this hasn't stopped her from admitting that they make a good couple or stopped her and her fans from pairing the two up.
• Bec/Amaterasu gets shipped a bit among the Homestuck fandom. Also counts as a Theme Pairing because they're both dogs/wolves with godlike powers.
• The Bart Simpson/Sakura Haruno picture shown above, which came from Nickelodeon Magazine. For a few years, they wrote a fake magazine called "Toon People" which focused on the social aspects of characters from various shows and networks. Other pairings that were shown in said magazine included Naruto/Lisa Simpson, Aqualad/Katara, Zuko/ Kim Possible and for some odd reason, Snow White and Belle getting a makeover from Flapjack.
• Yes! It has happened - Kurt Hummel/Ryan Evans.
  • In a similar vein, Blaine/ZacEfron. After all No one loves Zefron more than Harry Potter.
  • Also, there are some small, crack-ish parts of the Glee fandom who ship Pavarotti/Hedwig.
• There's a few pics of deviantart and a fan comic dedicated to Heloise/KickButtowski
• Rorschach and Hinata, That is all.
  • Batman and Hinata. Wolverine and Hinata also works.
• Hanako/Zuko. Yes, it's as burn-scarred (and crack-tastic) as it sounds. Here's ^{[dead link]} the link.
• Candace/ Squidward No Really
• Tails/Klonoa seems to be a relatively popular one amongst the Furry Fandom, perhaps inspired by a certain Doujinshi featuring the two... ehm, hanging out after work. That the two already looked similar doesn't hurt, either.
  • Believe it or not, Klonoa x Cream.
  • Knuckles/Guntz also has a reasonable following.
• This fic crosses over Stargate SG-1 and Torchwood. Pairings include Jack Harkness/Daniel, Jack O'Neill/Ianto, Owen/Anise/Freya, and Gwen/MALP. Bonus points for the title being abbreviated to CR:ACK
• Ever since Corpse Bride came out, there's been fans who like to ship Emily with Jack Skellington. Also popular is Jack/Victor and Emily/Sally.
  • Also, there's Jack/Coraline. That's right, an eleven-year-old girl with a fully adult skeleton.
• Damon Salvatore/Blair Waldorf shouldn't work, but the reasonably large number of Youtube videos beg to differ
• Katara/Sasuke: It's like Zutara with fifty percent less plausibility~!
  • You just divided by zero! YOU FOOL! YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!!!!
  • Don't forget Courtney x Zuko it's like Zuko x Katara if Katara were more Tsundere
• Prussia/Izaya has quite the following. If you subscribe to some stranger theories it could be seen as selfcest.
• Last I checked, there was a LiveJournal comm devoted solely to Dean/Neal.
• Dean gets around. The most popular het ships are Dean/Chloe and Dean/Hermione.
• There are people out there who ship Abby with Dr. Reid. Then again, it kind of makes sense.
• There was once a movement on LiveJournal to pair Captain Jack Harkness with every single fictional character ever. Unsurprisingly, it didn't complete its task, and nowadays seems to have lost steam altogether.
• This fan fic has Vitani/Alex, when Vitani gets captured and sent to the Central Park Zoo. (It makes a lot more sense then most of the stuff on this page.)
• Ladies and gentlemen, Azula and the Human Torch. That's one hot pair.
• Crossover pairngs with Ash ketchum are pretty popular. one famous one is Ash/ Sakura Haruno
• Very rare couple: Haruhi Suzumiya X Yukinari Sasaki ^{[dead link]}
• Lynching ITP occasionally brings some wacky crossover ships including:
  • Lea Clearwater and Ace had a mutual crush that never really went anywhere but was enough for the Big Bad to power a Star Sapphire Ring.
  • Kirby and Sylar had a rather squicky relationship that ultimantly resulted in both of them becoming less evil that was until Kirby was killed leading Sylar into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
  • Jenny Sparks had a one night stand with Intergra at some point previous to the start of the game.
  • Through some Canon Welding Thanos is in love with DEATH, Death, and Death who are all the same person.
  • Briefly through reality warping Cassandra Caine was in love with Travis Touchdown.
  • C.C. was Spider Jerusalam's first wife they got divorced for unknown reasons that involve Spider cheating on her, Spider refusing to accept Geass and Spider always wanting caribou eyes on pizza.
  • Molly Carpender was married to Charles Zi Britannia until he was mysteriously murdered and she claimed the throne.
  • Kallen (who is really Bella Swan has a bit of a thing for Tsukasa.
• Marvel's Wasp and DC's Bumblebee. It works too.
• Sometimes you go for obvious subjects, but sometimes some authors want to make up perverted situations that normally don't exist. How about a hentai fanfic featuring Cecilia and Noblesse Oblige or Harken Browning making Cecilia wear Kaguya's stripperific outfit just to bang her in it?
• Ika Musume and Neko Musume. Why? That's simple: Cats love fish and Ika Musume is a squid.
• Another weird crossover pairing is Airi with Ike. The reason? Maybe because both characters belongs to series with a fantasy setting.
• Nanoha/Setsuna. This one... almost makes sense since Setsuna is Gundam and Nanoha is the RX-78; it only really gets explanation when Nanoha's latest upgrade makes her look a lot like Setsuna's first Gundam, the GN-001 Exia.
• Nathan Drake/Lara Croft everything came out even before the Uncharted game did.
• Captain Jack/Captain Jack.
• Kurama/Kagome is popular, and actually quite possible.
• in this Spider-Man/Danny Phantom crossover [12] the author pairs Valerie Grey and Johnny Storm. kinda Squick-ish because Valerie's in high school and Johnny is supposed to be Peter's age (if not a year older) which leaves quite a large age gap.
• Bayonetta x Dante.
  • The rivals are not left out either: Jeanne x Vergil.
• Soujiro Seta x Beyond Birthday is a wonderful example for a very self-destructive and dark Crossover Ship [13]. Still most videos of the creator make it seem differently... and very pink [14] [15]
• Want a Manipulative Bastard pair? Look no further than Lelouch Lamperouge/Alex Russo. Since they both have powers (Lelouch has Geass, Alex has Magic), and love to manipulate anyone, they'll manipulate just about everything to oblivion.
  • They can even bond over being inappropriately close to their sibilings.
    • Since it's said, Nunnally Lamperouge/Justin Russo.
• Starkiller x Fate Testarossa. For some reason, it seems like it just might work.
• The Young Justice Anonymous Fic Meme gives us Aqualad/Gear (Kaldur/Richie, or Kalchie).Here, now with a sequel/ComingOutStory.
  • Then there are two fills for Aqualad/Ariel.
• Here's a snarky pair: Ashley Jeurgens/Flynn Jones. One is a Little Miss Snarker, the other, a Deadpan Snarker. So what if it's Shotacon on Ashley's part, at least they're happy together. Don't let Amy and CeCe find out...
• Mac x Bubbles art exists. They are made by the same creator, after all.
• There is a Pepe LePew X Zim fanfic. Yes, you read that correctly!
• Mami Tomoe X Celty, after Mami's head is bitten off by a witch in Episode 3 of Madoka.
• Luna and the Space Core. It's adorable. Go look up some fanart. Or some fanfics. Now.
  • Rarity and Rick the Adventure Core. And it actually kinda makes sense.
  • Rainbow Dash and Sonic the Hedgehog.
  • Fluttershy and Spiderman
  • Among bronies who are also fans of Transformers, Celestia/ Optimus Prime is surprisingly popular.
  • Applejack/Engineer, Rarity/Heavy, Rarity/Spy, Pinkie/Soldier, Fluttershy/Medic, Dash/Scout via Youtube
  • Twilight Sparkle and Mordecai now with fanclub
  • Pinkie Pie and Dan, inspired by The Hub's own crossover commercials. They even go see movies together.
• Fran is paired up with Dr. Stein quite a bit. Cuter than it sounds.
• Sassy Gay Friend gives us Boo Radley/TheGivingTree. No, seriously.
• There is a Mordecai/Marceline. It even has a club.
• Alexander Anderson/Ciel. Bayonet/sword throwing members of a secret Catholic organization dedicated to eradicating Vampires? Sign me up. Comes with awesome fanart.
• Ichigo Kurosaki/Gintoki Sakata has some merit, considering even their seiyuu ship-teased and co-hosted during a radio special.
• Kokuto X Luna Lovegood.
• Danny Fenton x Mami Tomoe in this amv
• L x Stocking is becoming popular. Here's a Deviant ART group.
• Try Flippy x Leatherface since both are Humanitarian Badass Normals
• Dean Winchester and the Doctor pops up in SuperWho quite a bit.
  • Martha/Sam has a small, but devoted fandom.
• Amy Pond of Doctor Who has two major fanon crossover ships. Dean Winchester and Sherlock Holmes. The Sherlock ship has two dedicated tumblr blogs.
• What about Saber and Kon? She loves stuffed lions, he loves cuddling with anything female, and they would be adorable together.
• Irene Adler/River Song. Two badass ladies of questionable morals together at last. And both shows have the same head writer.
  • Sherlock/The Doctor. It's surprisingly popular, probably due to a certain photograph of Benedict Cumberbatch and David Tennant that's been circulating the internet, as well as one of he and Matt Smith hugging.
• Vaarsuvius/Spock is common. So is art depicting one cosplaying as the other, or some bizarre merger of the two. It makes sense, given that both are highly-logical pointy-eared beings given to Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness.
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer has sometimes been shipped with Dean Winchester, or sometimes with Sam. So has Faith, for that matter, though both Slayers more likely end up with the older brother. In a case of Pair the Spares, if Buffy is with Dean then Dawn will likely be shipped with Sam. The pairing is strengthened by the idea that the two universe actually mess together rather well, with the metaphysic differences not too hard to Hand Wave due to having a number of common elements.
• Martin Crieff/Molly Hooper has a modest following. Cabin Pressure and Sherlock are Friendly Fandoms that are easily crossed over. Depending on the execution, it can be a combination of Theme Pairing and Throw the Dog a Bone, as both Martin and Molly are rather unfortunate in many aspects of their lives and overdue for something nice to happen to them.
  • There also seems to be a small but steadily increasing number of fans of Martin and one episode character Henry Knight.
• Doomguy and Isabelle became a popular crossover ship (usually friendly rather than romantic) due to their their 2020 games sharing a release date. There is a substantial amount of fanart, fanfics, and of course, memes.
• MAD magazine's parody of The Hunchback of Notre Dame had Belle fall for Quasimodo in the end. Why? She claimed her relationship with the Beast fell apart when he turned handsome, so she went looking for someone just as ugly as he had been before.
