*** Actually, it seems like it's more popular now than it was back when the series was only like 200 chapters long.
** In this ship's defense, which of Kagome's love interests *hasn't* tried to kill her upon first meeting? I can only think of Houjou, and he. Well. Also when this pairing is done well, it is done very, very, very well.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' has Sousuke/Insane Police Lady. Sure, they've had some (hilarious) interactions, and the Police Lady ''is'' obsessed with him in a [[Foe Yay]]-riffic way... and Sousuke ''did'' compliment her skill and ability (in his mind). The only problem is that she's only like that with him when he's in his Bonta-kun mascot costume. Which can only say stuff like "Fumo-fumo fuu!!" As for actual interaction between them when he's dressed normally... there's little to none. Except an instance where he asks Kaname if he should "off" the Police Lady. Granted, the people who support this pairing at least ''do'' tend to acknowledge that it's crack.
** [[OT 3|Foursome pairing of Gauron/Xia Yu Fan/Xia Yu Lan/Sousuke]]. Not so much the [[Memetic Molester|Gauron]] paired with any of them part, as much as the Yu Fan and Yu Lan together with Sousuke part. Especially since the ''only'' interaction he's ever had with either of them was with Yu Fan, whom he never actually ''saw'', and whom he said all of two sentences (consisting of, at most, three words) to. Though, as absurd a pairing as this seems ([[Chaste Hero|Sousuke]] being in a foursome with three people he hates is... [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|not very realistic]]), it ''is'' true that both Yu Fan and Yu Lan ''had'' been watching and pondering over Sousuke for a while (since their Sensei [[Stalker with a Crush|kept talking about him]], and sent them to find him).
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' fandom now has Athena/Ikusa, Hayate's older brother.... although this would probably be considered parody, as it was invented mainly to annoy supporters of a certain other pairing.
Line 163:
* On the third generation of ''[[Skins]]'', there is a rare canon example with Franky and Matty, who have exchanged relatively few lines for people who are supposedly ''destined'' to be together.
** There are lots of fandom examples too. Cook/Katie, Effy/Emily, James/Paddy, Tony/Cassie, etc. There are even some across the generations, like Tony/Katie and Naomi/Michelle.
* In the [[
* The ''[[Grimm (TV)|Grimm]]'' fandom features a sizeable fan base for Barry Raeb/Roddy Piper. The two have never met and would most likely be natural enemies (one is a bear, the other is a rat), but they are both [[Cute but Troubled]].
* There is an anthology of [[Suite Life On Deck]] stories called The Strange Love Collection which exists pretty on this trope. Examples include [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Alex Russo]] and London's [[Stalker with a Crush]] Corrie, Addison and the Russian chess champ Sasha and Bailey and Jessica (which actually [[Hilarious in Hindsight|preceded]] their [[Les Yay]] in a later episode
Line 254:
* A lot of ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'' fans seem to ship [[Spoiled Sweet|Charlotte LaBouff]] and [[Witch Doctor|Dr. Facilier]], even if they never canonically interacted. This also ignores the detail of Facilier trying to kill Lottie's beloved father.
* ''[[Daria]]'' has a few examples--some fans ship [[Homeschooled Kids|Ted]] with [[The Woobie|Stacy]], for example, based on their similarly kind and intelligent personalities. [[Berserk Button|Mr. DeMartino]] / [[Hippie Teacher|Ms. Defoe]], the most notable teachers to still be single at the end of the series, are also sometimes paired together.
* A small number of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' fans pair [[Stalker with a Crush|Brainy]]/[[Parody Sue|Lila]] as a [[Ship Mates]] for [[Official Couple|Helga/Arnold]]. It's [[Pair the Spares]] to be sure, but when you consider that Lila liked Arnie, who's possibly even ''weirder'' than Brainy, it actually makes a bit of sense.
* In the season 22 finale of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Ned Flanders and Edna Krabappel, two of the few characters in the show's [[Loads and Loads of Characters|large cast]] who have never interacted, start dating.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Soarin' once bought a pie from Applejack. They're a fairly popular ship. There isn't much else to say.
