Favorite relationship(s)?

[whyfish]

What are everyone's favorite Xenosaga ships? (As in your OTP, not the Durandal. ;P ) Platonic and otherwise non-romantic relationships are welcome too. Mine are probably infamous to anyone who has spent 0.2 seconds around me, but I'm curious about everyone else's! Discuss! :3c

Febronia and Virgil always struck a chord with me, especially now that I'm older and understand their relationship better.

Febronia and Virgil

Feb and Virgil made me cry so bad. I always liked ShionxKOS-MOS way more than ShionxAllen Spoiler: (which that one I always felt was doomed to failure eventually because I don't think Allen would have been happy long-term)

Allen x Scott 5eva.

Same. Allen is a great guy, but I think it might be healthier for him to find someone more his speed. Shion's always gonna put Kossy at #1, they have that spiritual connection.

Shion/KOS-MOS and Scott/Allen is a win-win situation for everyone!

Other than the above (and Juli/Ziggy OTP), I also enjoy shipping Andrew Cherenkov with Margulis, Shion, and/or a long happy life with the emotional support he deserved. :') Sharon/Jan, also, but, y'know. :C

(Cursed fun fact: Yuriev/Voyager is my favorite evil crackship. Judge me as necessary.)

Consider Yuriev/Wilhelm where each thinks they have the other trapped in an elaborate game of five-dimensional chess

Gaignun Kukai/Happiness--

I personally interpret Gaignun's relationship with Shelley and Mary as platonic, tbh! And I ship Yuriev with dying a horrible painful death

I've always thought of Shion x KOSMOS as being true soulmates.
My favorite crack ship is Ziggy x Mary, and I [semi-]jokingly like to think of Jin and Margulis as being bitter exes who are too thick headed to work out their feelings haha

That is definitely the vibe I get from them. (I've seen fan fiction to that effect as well.) The, uh, subtext is not subtle imo. ;3

i've always loved how momo and jr care about eachother and look out for each other in a very friendly sort of way especially with jr's whole back story with sakura which i feel really emphasizes why he cares so much about momo

I feel like the Jr. and Sakura stuff are some of the best character moments outside of Ziggy in Xenosaga 2! I just wish it weren't so sad

KOS-MOS x Shion always hit home to me, they have such a sweet relationship that blooms slowly throughout the games. Seeing how KOS-MOS went from apathy in episode one to caring and even sacrifice for Shion in episode three was one of my favourite parts of the series.

In watching my roommate play through Xenosaga, I've somehow talked myself into Ziggy/Cherenkov being a good ship

This is bold and aesthetic. I approve.

Ziggy is patient and strong and would Cherenkov wouldn't have to worry about hurting him and Ziggy could be reassuring during a panic attack.

Plus Cherenkov says "How I envy you" to MOMO after she gives Ziggy a tune up

Honestly I haven't been able to stop thinking about this one since I saw it a couple weeks ago. It does come across as crack, but it just makes more and more sense as you think about it in different ways... Dangerous stuff.
