tubbsofsteel Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I am huge fan of fictional romance and I’ve noticed that a lot of asexuals here on AVEN tend to like romance in fiction, so I was curious to know what’s everyone’s favourite fictional couple? To name a couple of my favourites, I like Shirogane and Kaguya from Love is War, Utena and Anthy from Revolutionary girl Utena, Sokka and Suki from ATLA, all of the couples from Wotakoi, the main couple from Doukyuseei, Nagisa’a parents from Clannad and many more. (Also Mustang and Hawkeye from FMA but they’re technically not a canon pairing even though I wish it was) The couples aren’t exclusive to anime/manga, its just the medium where I consume romantic material the most, feel free to reference your favourite shows and novels! 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 HMMM Ereri, shigadabihawks, Todobakudeku, Levihan, Nezushi, etc. One of them used to be Sebaciel which I still ship when Ciel is aged up but Black Butler isn't one of my bigger interests anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle Underdark Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Benedict and Beatrice from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing (specifically the '93 film version with Emma Thompson as Beatrice). Adam and Eve (not the biblical characters) from Only Lovers Left Alive (2013). I'm sure more examples but those are off the top of my head. Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzipueo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Emmerson & Amelia in The Amelia Peabody Mysteries by Elizabeth Peters Evie & Rick - The Mummy and The Mummy Returns Wes & Hudson in Not Dead Yet series - Jenn Burke Patrick & Jono in Soulbound series by Hailey Turner Barbara & Ian in Doctor Who Arthur & Martin in His Quiet Agent by Ada Maria Soto - ace characters! Sienna & Hawke in Psy-Changling series by Nalini Singh Adrien & Jake in Adrien English Mysteries | Kit & JX in Holmes & Moriarity Mysteries by Josh Lanyon Vic & Jacob in Psycops series by Jordan Castillo Price Jack & Karen - Will & Grace - yes, not truly romantic, but a pairing in all the ways that mattered! LOL Julius & Marcy in Heartstrikers series by Rachel Aaron Vickie & Mike /Vickie & Henry from Victoria Nelson series by Tanya Huff (not your traditional love triangle at all - Vickie would gut one or both guys if they tried pulling that nonsense).

Alaska Native Manitou Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Tsukasa/Ann Shouji & Subaru/Mariko from .hack//SIGN, Jesse & Lorna from Ricochet River, Fergus & Dil in The Crying Game, Makoto & Yuuko in Watashi no Kanojo wa Otokonoko. @fuzzipueo: Jack & Karen should have been the main characters.

OMG yes! didn't even think about that till you said, but definatly! Um canon wise, I'd have to say Magnus/Alec from Shadowhunters, Faramir/Eowen from LOTR and Jack/Ianto from Torchwood Fanon, soooo many, mainly bilbo/thorin from the hobbit john/rodney from sga and stiles/derek from teen wolf for all time favs, Link to post Share on other sites

Finally, someone who reads Tanya Huff and Josh Lanyon! Have you read the smoke series by Tanya Huff, it has Tony from the blood series as the main focus as well as Henry as a reacurring side character, only a trilogy but very good! Also if you like the Adrien English Mysteries have you tried thr Plumbers mate series by J L Merrow? Sorry to go off topic, just got exited Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to go off topic, just got exited I have been a long time fan of Huff, and I absolutely love Tony Foster's series. She just came out with a new anthology set in that universe Blood Shot: Stories from the Blood 'Verse, though I have yet to sit down and read it. I also recommend her Gale Girls Trilogy, The Fire's Stone (which has a canon ace character) and The Silvered. The Plumber's Mate is another one I've read, though it's been awhile and keeps getting pushed back on my reread list. Tom is a hoot though. Link to post Share on other sites

I have loads of other fandoms and ships that I read but those are my go-tos that I’m least picky about. I’ve been addicted to fanfiction for 20 years now. When I love a fictional universe and/or characters, I just can’t get enough of it. Like, ever. If I see that anyone reads similar stuff to me, I’ll try to dig out some of my favourites. Quoting myself from another thread because of ship mentions. In anything I like, I’ve got ships. But my main top favourites are: Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter (Harry Potter) Sirius Black x Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes (Marvel Cinematic Universe) Some others: Gheorghe Ionescu x Johnny Saxby (God’s Own Country) Marcus Flint x Oliver Wood (Harry Potter) Ian Gallagher x Mickey Milkovich (Shameless) Spock x Nyota Uhura (Star Trek alternate cinematic universe) Geralt of Rivia x Jaskier (The Witcher) Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf) Sherlock Holmes x John Watson (Sherlock) Malcolm Bright x Dani Powell (Prodigal Son) Judy Hopps x Nick Wilde (Zootopia/Zootropolis) Clint Barton x Phil Coulson (Marvel Cinematic Universe) Arthur Pendragon x Merlin (Merlin) Okay I’ll stop there for now... But rest assured, there are plenty more. Link to post Share on other sites
Alaska Native Manitou Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Mythology: Gilgamesh x Enkidu Athena x Nike Books: Lieou-ki x Lieou-fang from The Two Brothers of Different Sex (don't worry, one was adopted) Takumi x Mio from Be With You by Takuji Ichikawa Movies: Jo x Wong The Ballad of Little Jo Claude x Lucy All Over Me Cassie x Jake The Good Witch Peter x Rita Prelude to a Kiss Link to post Share on other sites

Have to agree with another poster and say Evie and Rick from the mummy series. Love Mortica and Gomez from the addams family, they're so sweet and supportive of one another and it just makes me smile. I like Vanessa and Deadpool from the movies (though I was upset we didn't get to see more of it for DP2). There are so many relationships I like, but they have to be well made or they just get boring Link to post Share on other sites
