borg_princess asked about my favorite ships and why I love them.

5. Mulder/Scully
First ship ever, ok? Even when I was six years old and watching the show, while I pretended to be all grossed out for my family's sake, secretly I really wanted them to get together and kiss. Favorite thing about it is how slowly it progressed. It felt so natural and it wasn't a total "WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY" thing, it was about their friendship just as much as their romantic relationship. It just felt right.

4. Arthur/Morgana
I love Arthur/Morgana in all versions, but since most of you are Merlin watchers, I'll mostly talk about it in that context. Their relationship is just SO EPIC. The love-hate relationship that's mostly love, the manipulations, how much she risks to save him, "I would give up my throne to save her", etc. In a lot of versions of legend she was his enemy, but it's she who ends up taking him to Avalon to heal. I've always thought that it was a great shame that they abandoned the relationship in the show because of how much chemistry Bradley and Katie have, among other things.

3. Harry/Hermione
My #3 and my #4 switch around a lot, but right now this is ahead (mostly because it is SO HARD to find Armor stuff these days while the HHR fandom is still pretty active). These two are adorable. I love that she saw him as HIM and not just as the boy who lived, and how much she stayed by his side, even when nobody else was there. She believed him when his name was drawn out of the goblet, she spent hours teaching him spells and studying with him, went with him to the DoM even though she KNEW it was a trap, stayed with him in that tent, and so much more. This was the first ship I ever participated in fandom for, and it still gives me such warm fuzzies.

2. Doctor/Rose
It's amazing how fast this ship grew on me to become my #2. I love how goofy they are around each other, how he made her realize how much good she can do and how she made him see that he's not such a monster. I love how much she fought to get back to his side (always!) and how much her loss from his life affected him. I love that even when she wasn't in the show anymore, Doctor Who was still very much a love story between them.

1. Angel/Cordelia
Angel/Cordelia. I LOVE THIS SHIP SO MUCH! Favorite of all time. I love it because they bring out the best in each other, she makes him laugh while he made her a bit more serious. And then they have that whole friendship to love thing that I am SUCH A SUCKER FOR. In the end she sacrificed her life to bring her man back on track ♥
