Line 55:
** [[Darth Bane]] and Darth Zannah.
** And Luke and Mara.
** "Kiss Tahiri for me."--Anakin—Anakin to Jacen
*** In ''Allies'', we learn that Jacen obliged, and more.
** And some speculate [[Shotacon|Jacen and Ben]].
Line 90:
** From the same (and equally one-sided), Molly and Harry. Although Harry has been under the impression that Molly's feelings were a passing adolescent crush, {{spoiler|Susan has pointed out that Molly is genuinely in love with Harry.}} Harry's self-conscious awareness of Molly's attractiveness makes it all the more awkward (and imply that the ship isn't quite out of the question, either).
*** Especially, considering how long wizards live. When Molly is 40, Harry will probably have fewer issues with the fact that he taught her when she was a teenager.
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Petyr Baelish is probably hoping for things to turn out this way between him and his <s>daughter Alayne</s> trainee Sansa, and a good chunk of the fandom would be happy to see it as well. The rest of the fandom is too [[Squick]]'d out by his [[Replacement Goldfish|clear transference of affection for Catelyn onto her daughter]], not to mention him being [[Creepy Uncle|her uncle]], [[Parental Incest|semi-adoptive father]], and [[May-DecemberMay–December Romance|twice her age]].
* In ''[[Havemercy]]'', the world-weary exile [[Invisible to Gaydar|Royston]] tries very, very hard to fight his feelings for [[Shrinking Violet|Hal]], an innocent young country boy whose interest in literature Royston fosters and promotes. {{spoiler|He fails. [[They Do|But Hal doesn't mind in the slightest.]] }}
* A lot of fans of ''[[Mistborn]]'' read a lot of subtext in [[The Obi-Wan|Kelsier's]] relationship with [[The Hero|Vin]], a fact which was referenced and [[Ship Sinking|denied]] by Vin in the second book. However, [[Word of God]] says she probably did have a crush on him, even though he saw her as more of a daughter.
Line 99:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'' The Doctor and any number of Companions.
* Giles/[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]] had a number of followers. In fandom. The two times someone (a werewolf hunter and Spike) suggested such a thing on the show, Buffy was [[Squick|Squicked]]ed. As was Giles in the first instance. He wasn't there in the second.
** Giles/Willow also had followers. In one scene in the episode "Faith, Hope, & Trick", when Faith describes Giles as cute, Willow has an impish grin on her face.
*** Willow says she used to have a crush on him in "Where The Wild Things Are"
Line 114:
* Jesse and Shelby from ''[[Glee]]'' could also count. That hug at the end of Regionals...and the hand-holding...and the kiss on the cheek. And, oh yeah, he {{spoiler|helped her find her biological daughter and all that}}.
** Also seems to be heading this way in regards to Kurt and Blaine. They're both very gay, and Blaine IS Kurt's [[Sexy Mentor]] / [[Big Brother Mentor]]...
** {{spoiler|Kurt/Blaine is canon as of 2.16 - but by this point, it's not really a [[Mentor Ship]], they're on pretty equal footing.}}
* Michael and Nikita from ''[[Nikita (TV series)|Nikita]]'', due to the uncontrollably large amount of [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] between them that eventually culminates {{spoiler|in a [[Relationship Upgrade]] after "Covenants", much to the fans' delight.}}
 
Line 146:
* Aang of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' gets shipped with all 3 of his Bending teachers -- [[First Girl Wins|Katara]], [[Toy Ship|Toph]], and [[Ho Yay|Zuko]]. {{spoiler|He ends up with Katara.}}
** Fic suggesting he was [[Old Master|Gyatso]]'s [[wikipedia:Catamite|catamite]] obviously exist due to [[Rule 34|the inherent derangement of the Internet.]]
* Well before [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' aired, shippers pairing Aang's teenaged [[Reincarnation]] Korra with her Airbending mentor Tenzin (Aang's ''[[Spin Offspring|son]]'') manifested, despite the implicit [[May-DecemberMay–December Romance]] the pairing would require. News of Tenzin being [[Happily Married]] with three children and a bun in his lovely lady wife [http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Pema Pema]'s oven caused most to [[Abandon Shipping]]. ''Most,'' but not ''[[Crack Pairing|all]].''
* ''[[9]]'''s resident [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|LOATS]] [[The Woobie|woob]] 5 gets this a lot with [[Cool Old Guy|2]], to the point that some are actually arguing for its canonocity.
* The animated adaption of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has inspired such a ship in the form of Slade/Terra, the former being a [[Manipulative Bastard]] and the latter being his [[The Woobie|apprentice]]. It also doesn't hurt that they were a canon item in [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|the original comic storyline]].
