What are your favorite rarepairs that you've never seen anyone else draw, write, or even discuss? What's your elevator pitch for the most "never would've occurred to anyone else, but now that you mention it..." ships out there? Convince us!
I am currently in the deepest pits of rarepair hell over the following:
Hammer/Tony - They've been best friends since childhood and have such excellent banter and I love them!? I am here for an Elsa OT4 (i.e. Captain Matthews/chaos/Hammer/Tony all as a polycule of space truckers) and Hammer/Tony is essential to that dynamic
Citrine/Pellegri - I invented this pairing in 2007 because they were the most attractive women in the cast to me, personally, and it felt very "why not?" and now I am Accidentally Very Invested and want to revisit them. I'm also honored that I'm not the only one who ships them, now!
Jr./Tony - Tony's ex-girlfriend Ginevra makes a big gossipy stink in XSII/the Durandal's park about how Tony's also into guys, and accuses Jr. of hooking up with Tony.... and I'm like, wow, thank you Ginevra, there's a silver lining to your biphobia because now I ship the thing
Gaignun/King - The pitch for this one is that they both love cats and the Foundation NPCs talk about how King claims to secretly run the Foundation, and the dude is practically running a cat café out of East.6 and I feel like Gaignun has fallen asleep on the couch there at least once and woken up covered in cat fur
Allen/Citrine - The vibe here is Connecticut Clark and Malfina and started as a shitpost but now I can't unthink it
ETA: meant to include some platonic stuff too
Jin & Jr. - I've always liked Jin but hadn't spent a lot of my fandom effort writing for him but now I love him dearly ever since I wrote about him discussing medical neglect with Jr. and I desperately need them to hang out more, they have a lot in common
Gaignun & Ziggy - There is incredible deadpan joke potential here and I think they'd get along really well and I wish they'd spoken more in canon because the few lines they got were GOLD
Elsa Crew & MOMO - Those guys love her so much, I want her to be an unofficial crew member
Gaignun & Sakura - He was the first person to ever speak to her where she could actually respond???? My heart breaks
Juli & Jr. - This hurts me too, man, she's kind of his mom but not and I feel like he always sorta wished Juli could just adopt them and they should spend some time grieving together :c
Helmer & Gaignun & Jr. - On my list of stuff to write more for, Helmer is tied with Ziggy for Best Dad
