''I drew some porny [[Fan Art]] and I wrote some [[Lemon|smutty]] [[fanfic]].''

''Can't help it, I just think that they would make such a good pair.''

So you like to ship Bob and Alice. The only problem you have is the fact that Bob and Alice have exchanged little more than a few lines with one another and there seems to be little to no interaction between the two.

 

 

It's especially [[Mood Whiplash]] if no transition period is shown and the couple is suddenly [[Strangled by the Red String]].

 

== Literature ==

** The most popular example might be Draco/Ginny, which was ''insanely'' popular for a while and still has a decent sized following, even though they only spoke twice in seven books, way back in Book 2, when Ginny told him "Leave him alone, he didn't want all that!" and later when Draco made fun of her Valentine to Harry. Though apparently the actual actors dated in real life.

*** Draco/Ginny is also used as a [[Beta Couple]] in [[One True Pairing|Harry/Hermione]] stories, if the writer isn't [[Die for Our Ship|feeling]] [[Ron the Death Eater|vindictive.]] As is Blaise/Ginny, which has even less canon to stand on as, except for being at the same parties during HBP, they don't interact at all.

** It should be noted, though, that after Pansy Parkinson suggests that Blaise finds Ginny attractive, Blaise says that he wouldn't touch a filthy blood traitor like her whatever she looked like."

** Sirius Black and Lucius Malfoy didn't exchange a single word in the novels. The sum total of their conversations in the films was "Get away from my godson!" "Black!" There's a pretty solid body of slash devoted to them, [[Sarcasm Mode|because a loving godfather and a man who wants to kill his godson have so much in common.]] (Of course, the popularity of this pairing is actually because they are played by [[Mr. Fanservice]] [[Gary Oldman]] and [[Jason Isaacs]].)

* Jon/Dany is probably one of the most popular ships in the ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' series, despite the fact they live on different continents and that the former [[Celibate Hero|has taken a vow of celibacy]]. It helps that they're probably the closest that the series has to protagonists, and may well be the "Ice" and "Fire" referred to in the title.

** It's also expected that they'll have lots of interaction later on in the series considering that Jon has essentially dedicated his life to defending the realm against the Others and the popular theory that Dany is destined to fight them also.
