* The characters of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' get this a lot. Captain Jack Harkness/Ianto (both from ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'')/Dawn, Xander/Cortana (''Franchise/{{Halo}}''), Buffy/Mal (''Series/{{Firefly}}''), Dawn/Jayne, Giles/Captain John Hart and oh so much more.
* One crossover between ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' had several, including Buffy/Solaufein, Giles/Jaheira, Spike/Viconia, and eventually Buffy/Artemis Enteri.
* Captain Mal Reynolds from ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' and ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'''s Dawn Summers pairing appears from time to time.
* There is one ''extremely'' weird example of, of ''all'' things, River Tam (''Series/{{Firefly}}'') being shipped with Heat (''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga''). It stemmed from the two encountering one another during a multi-author MegaCrossover, with Heat equating River with Sera. She latched on to him because he was protective of her, he latched onto her because she reminded him of Sera. Things got even ''weirder'' from there, with Heat doing his cannibalism thing and River being not-at-all freaked out about it. The thing had a rather powerful and sad DidNotGetTheGirl DownerEnding, as there wasn't any sex, just very rough kissing (with biting and some bloodplay involved) and a whole lot of insanity, and the two had to split apart at the end of it because Heat refused to take River back to a world as screwed up as his and had no place in hers. It was ''really'' well-done, especially on the part of the author writing Heat's part of the story.
* There are a few ''Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}''/''Series/{{Firefly}}'' crossover fics that ship Spike with River Tam. This works remarkably well as crossovers go. Spike, who spent over a hundred years with Drusilla and was then haunted by the First Evil, has significant experience with people who "see things" and is in a better position to relate to River than anybody in ''Firefly'' canon. Spike's immortality makes it easy to rationalize his presence in the Firefly universe: he just lives long enough to leave Earth-That-Was with the rest of humanity. Then there's the fact that having been born in Earth-That-Was makes him an (un)living memory of a time that is seen as ''legendary'' by the inhabitants of the 'Verse.
* There's a growing number of River Tam (''Series/{{Firefly}}'') and Riddick (''Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'') fics.
* Thanks in no small part to a little fanfic called ''The Way of Things'', Rose (''Series/DoctorWho'')/Peter Carlisle (''Series/{{Blackpool}}'', played by David Tennant) has an impressive following.
* Pairing Rose, the Tenth Doctor's companion (''Series/DoctorWho'') with other characters played by Creator/DavidTennant (who played the Tenth Doctor) is a bit of a thing; aside from Carlisle, there's Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (''Series/{{Broadchurch}}'') and Barty Crouch Jr. (''Franchise/HarryPotter'').
* There are [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6002869/1/10-Moments-Left people]] [[http://bau-fic.livejournal.com/856819.html out]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TtzGAGsSEQ there]] who ship Abby (''Series/{{NCIS}}'') with Dr. Reid (''Series/CriminalMinds''). Then again, it [[CommonCrossover kind of makes sense]].
* The pairing of Spencer Reid (''Series/CriminalMinds'') and Zack Addy from ''Series/{{Bones}}'' is [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/2580 reasonably]] [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/57894 popular]] for the CommonCrossover thing.
* There was once a movement on Platform/LiveJournal to pair Captain Jack Harkness of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' and ''Series/DoctorWho'' with every single fictional character ever. Unsurprisingly, it didn't complete its task, and later it lost steam altogether.
* Dean Winchester of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and the Doctor (''Series/DoctorWho'') pairing pops up in [=SuperWho=] quite a bit.
* Martha/Sam (''Doctor Who'' and ''Supernatural'') has a small, but devoted fandom, complete with a [[http://theyaregoingtosavetheworld.tumblr.com/ blog]].
* LauncherOfAThousandShips Amy Pond of ''Series/DoctorWho'' has two major fanon crossover ships, with ''Supernatural's'' Dean Winchester and Sherlock Holmes (''Series/{{Sherlock}}''). The Sherlock ship has two dedicated [[http://fyeahamysherlock.tumblr.com tumblr]] [[http://pondandholmes.tumblr.com blogs]].
* Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer has sometimes been shipped with Dean Winchester of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', or sometimes with Sam. So has Faith, for that matter, though both Slayers more likely end up with the ''older'' brother. In a case of PairTheSpares, if Buffy is with Dean then Dawn will likely be shipped with Sam. The pairing is strengthened by the idea that the two universe [[CommonCrossover actually mesh together rather well]], with the metaphysic differences not too hard to {{Handwave}} due to having a number of common elements.
* Castiel from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and animated Korra from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''.
* Castiel for ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' often gets paired with Crowley from ''Series/GoodOmens'' or sometimes the Crowley from ''Supernatural'' gets paired with Azaraphel from ''Good Omens''. Since Crowley from ''Supernatural'' is an admitted {{Expy}} of the Crowley from ''Good Omens'', they are often portrayed as the same.
* There was a Platform/LiveJournal community devoted solely to this pairing: Dean from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and Neal from ''Series/WhiteCollar''.
* Dean (''Supernatural'') gets around.
** One of the most popular het ships is Dean and Chloe from ''Series/{{Smallville}}''.
** Dean/Hermione (''Literature/HarryPotter'') is very popular het pairing.
** Thanks to the crossover episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS13E16ScoobyNatural ''Scoobynatural'']] there are fics pairing Dean/Daphne and Sam/Velma, even though canon-wise both pairings were unrequited with Dean crushing on Daphne and Velma crushing on Sam.
** Dean is already being shipped with Cordell Walker from ''Series/{{Walker}}'' and sometimes the ''Walker''-verse is portrayed as an AU of ''Supernatural'' making it Wincest-y.
* It can be quite safely stated that there is an entire sub-category of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' fanfiction devoted to the idea of Chloe moving to Gotham City (often after the author has Chloe realize that Clark/Jimmy/whoever "[[SourGrapesTropes isn't good enough for her]]") and then meeting and falling in love with Batman. Usually, Chloe ends up either becoming MissionControl at the Batcave or she undergoes {{Xenafication}} and becomes ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} or ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} (or occassionally ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}) and ends up fighting crime alongside Bruce on the Gotham City rooftops. Either way, she can usually work the Batcomputer better than Bruce can, proves to be his match in fighting skills, and if Bruce is still "in denial" about his feelings for her, Alfred will usually advise him to "open his eyes and see what's right in front of him".
* ''Series/Zoey101, Series/DrakeAndJosh'', and ''Series/ICarly'' have multiple crossover ships. Nevel/Megan is probably the most popular of these.
%% ** With the addition of Series/{{Victorious}}, Cat/Freddie and Jade/Sam are quite popular. The idea that a Drake and Josh/iCarly crossover might happen also fuels Freddie/Megan support.

* Tori Vega from ''Series/{{Victorious}}''/James Diamond from ''Series/BigTimeRush'' is pretty popular, and their respective actors are dating in real life.
* With the new crossover SpinOff show ''Series/SamAndCat'' featuring Sam from ''iCarly'' and Cat from ''Victorious'', it took all of one episode for people to start shipping them together.
* Chloe (''Smallville'') is a LauncherOfAThousandShips (possibly due to the huge amount of fanfic writers who seem to very strongly relate to her personality), and another hugely popular Smallville crossover ship is to pair up Chloe with either Dean or Sam from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' (or, y'know, ''[[OT3 both]]''). The Chloe/Dean ship seems to be more popular than Chloe/Sam for whatever reason.
* There are fics pairing Xander from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' with Wednesday Addams (''Series/TheAddamsFamily''). It worked well through various devices.
* Then there's the one Harmony/Wednesday fic, which used the common conceit that Harmony is actually Amanda from the ''Addams Family'' (both were played by Mercedes [=McNab=]).
* Eddie Munster from (''Series/TheMunsters'') is also sometimes shipped with Wednesday.
* Faith, or Buffy, or Dawn (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'') are often paired with one or more of the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'''s Winchesters. Or ''Series/DarkAngel'' Alec.
* There's lots of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''/''Series/StargateSG1'' CrossOver fic out there, and a lot of it has Crossover Ship, including Jack/Buffy, Clone!Jack/Dawn, Faith/Vala, and many more.
* Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to clean up your brain matter after YourHeadAsplode from witnessing the greatest crossover pairing ever conceived: B/ASH, otherwise known as Buffy Summers (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'') / Ash Williams (''Franchise/EvilDead''). [[http://opallynn.deviantart.com/art/Gimme-Some-Sugar-Buffy-154069846 And here is one such example]].
* TV adaptation ''Series/{{Hornblower}}'' created a delicious red-coated MajorlyAwesome Major "My Lord" Edrington. ''Hornblower'' fandom has taken a liking to pairing him with Badass Richard Sharpe (''Literature/{{Sharpe}}'') despite or perhaps because he's exactly the kind of officer Sharpe would despise if he was incompetent. Major Edrington isn't, so he's precisely the officer Sharpe wishes he was.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5JM12fO3dM This video]] ships Lieutenant William Bush (''Series/{{Hornblower}}'') and Miss Molly Gibson (''Series/WivesAndDaughters''). RegencyEngland, a handsome naval officer and a pretty little young lady. It's very adorable and believable. There's a ''severe'' lack of ladies in ''Hornblower'', the series being all WoodenShipsAndIronMen, so it's logical that these wonderful sailors would look for love in other book or TV 'verses.
* Jim Kirk from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' and Reaper Bones from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' have a noticeable fan following.
* Spock (''Franchise/StarTrek'') and Vaarsuvius (''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'') is common. So is art depicting one cosplaying as the other, or some [[FusionDance bizarre merger of the two]]. It makes sense, given that both are highly-logical pointy-eared beings given to SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
* Martin Crieff (''Radio/CabinPressure'') / Molly Hooper (''Series/{{Sherlock}}'') has a modest following. ''Cabin Pressure'' and ''Sherlock'' are FriendlyFandoms that are easily crossed over. Depending on the execution, it can be a combination of ThemePairing and ThrowTheDogABone, as both Martin and Molly are rather [[TheWoobie unfortunate in many aspects of their lives]] and overdue for something nice to happen to them. (There's also the fact that Molly pines after Sherlock, who's played by Benedict Cumberbatch, the same guy who played Martin Crieff.) There also seems to be a small but steadily increasing number of fans of Martin and one episode character Henry Knight.
* [[http://sinisterx18.livejournal.com/589.html#cutid1 This fic]] crosses over ''Series/StargateSG1'' and ''Series/{{Torchwood}}''. Pairings include Jack Harkness/Daniel, Jack O'Neill/Ianto, Owen/Anise/Freya, and Gwen/MALP. Bonus points for the title being abbreviated to CR:ACK.
* Irene Adler (''Series/{{Sherlock}}'') / River Song (''Series/DoctorWho''). Two badass ladies of questionable morals together at last. And both shows have Creator/StevenMoffat as the head writer.
* Sherlock (''Series/{{Sherlock}}'') / The Doctor (''Series/DoctorWho''). It's surprisingly popular, probably due to a [[HoYay certain photograph]] of Creator/BenedictCumberbatch and Creator/DavidTennant that's been circulating the internet, as well as one of he and Creator/MattSmith hugging.
* Here's a snarky pair: Ashley Jeurgens (''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'') / Flynn Jones (''Series/ShakeItUp''). One is a LittleMissSnarker, the other, a DeadpanSnarker. So what if it's Shotacon on Ashley's part, at least they're happy together. Don't let Amy and [=CeCe=] find out...
* Blaine from ''Series/{{Glee}}''[=/=]Creator/ZacEfron. After all [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical No one loves]] [[ActorAllusion Zefron more than]] Harry Potter.
* Sort of happened in ''[[http://web.archive.org/web/20030327090655/http://www.fortunecity.com/lavendar/pimlico/131/sol.html S.O.L.]]'', in which, due to accidentally drinking a pheromone potion, Scully (''Series/TheXFiles'') spends a lot of the story hitting on/making out with Joel (''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'') (Much to Joel's dismay). Even after she's cured and apologizes to Joel, she kisses him at the end of the story, and Mulder teases her about it.
* A surprisingly adorable one is paring of James Nicholls (''Film/WarHorse'') and Gwen Dawson (''Series/DowntonAbbey'').
* Barry Allen from ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and Supergirl from ''Series/Supergirl2015'' were shipped even before their crossover happened. They're both adorkable superheroes, leaders of their respective teams, and have been through a lot. They also had pretty good chemistry both times they met.
** John Constantine and Lucifer Morningstar were shipped since appearing together in Crisis on Infinite Earths, especially since they're well acquainted with each other despite being from different universes. It's pretty clear that something happened between the two of them.
* Captain Jack Harkness of ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' has been shipped (with varying levels of seriousness) with most characters in just about every fandom ever. Justified in that [[ExtremeOmnisexual he totally would]].
* A OneTrueThreesome example of this occurs in the ''Fanfic/LostInCamelot'' series, which pairs Bo Dennis of ''Series/LostGirl'' with Merlin and Morgana from ''Series/Merlin2008''. The temporal circumstances required for the three to meet are complicated, but the actual pairing is handled well, with Bo providing Merlin and Morgana with someone who respectively appreciates their desire to protect the innocent and distaste for the establishment, creating hope that they will be able to prevent Morgana's later fall into evil.
* One of [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Becks_Rylynn/pseuds/Becks_Rylynn Becks Rylynn's]] favorite pairings is Laurel Lance (''Series/{{Arrow}}'') and Dean Winchester (''Series/{{Supernatural}}''). It works ''really'' well, most notably in ''FanFic/HowTheLightGetsIn''.
* ''Series/OnceUponATime'':
** There is a large fandom for Belle and Nicholas Rush (''Series/StargateUniverse''), mainly due to the fact that Rush is played by Creator/RobertCarlyle, who plays Belle's main love interest, Rumplestiltskin. It's to the point that on [=AO3=], the Rush/Belle pairing has the second most fics of any ''Stargate Universe'' pairing.
** Emma/Regina shippers have a habit of trying to ship Emma with any character Creator/LanaParrilla has played on television. The most notable is Trina Decker from ''Series/{{Swingtown}}'', for which there is a surprising number of fanfics. There are also some support for Emma/Rita Castillo from ''Series/WhyWomenKill'' in the wake of that show's second season.
* Alicia Clark (''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'') getting shipped with Clarke Griffin (''Series/The100''), is rather popular due to her actress, Creator/AlyciaDebnamCarey, also playing Clarke's love interest, Lexa, and the circumstances of their [[BuryYourGays "break-up"]] in that show. There's even [[WhatIf what-ifs]] where it's a ReincarnationRomance with Creator/ElizaTaylor playing a ''The Walking Dead'' universe version of Clarke named Elyza Lex.
* ''Series/HannahMontana'':
** Miley Stewart is often shipped with several other Creator/DisneyChannel characters. On Platform/FanfictionDotNet, Miley is shipped with Alex Russo from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', which is possible as they both appeared in a crossover with ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'', Zack Martin from ''The Suite Life on Deck'', and Mitchie Torres and Nate Grey from ''Film/CampRock''.
** Mikayla has a large number of fanfics that pairs her with Mitchie Torres from ''Film/CampRock'', mainly due to the real-life complicated relationship between their actresses, Music/SelenaGomez and Music/DemiLovato, and feeling they would have good chemistry.
* Sonny Munroe (''Series/SonnyWithAChance'') has been shipped with Alex Russo from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', which is strange, as that show exists as a fictional show InUniverse, as Music/SelenaGomez shows up and Sonny is revealed to be a fan of it. This is mainly due to shippers feeling that the two would have great chemistry and the real life friendship of their actress at the time of airing. There are a large number of fanfics for it on Platform/FanfictionDotNet, with most of these being full [=AUs=] where the Russo family just exists as real people and not as characters on a TV show.
* There's a relatively large fanbase for shipping Dana Scully (''Series/TheXFiles'') and Stella Gibson (''Series/TheFall2013''), especially on sites like [=AO3=], mainly due to both being played by Creator/GillianAnderson.

* One crossover between ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' had several, including Buffy/Solaufein, Giles/Jaheira, Spike/Viconia, and eventually Buffy/Artemis Enteri.
* Captain Mal Reynolds from ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' and ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'''s Dawn Summers pairing appears from time to time.
* There is one ''extremely'' weird example of, of ''all'' things, River Tam (''Series/{{Firefly}}'') being shipped with Heat (''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga''). It stemmed from the two encountering one another during a multi-author MegaCrossover, with Heat equating River with Sera. She latched on to him because he was protective of her, he latched onto her because she reminded him of Sera. Things got even ''weirder'' from there, with Heat doing his cannibalism thing and River being not-at-all freaked out about it. The thing had a rather powerful and sad DidNotGetTheGirl DownerEnding, as there wasn't any sex, just very rough kissing (with biting and some bloodplay involved) and a whole lot of insanity, and the two had to split apart at the end of it because Heat refused to take River back to a world as screwed up as his and had no place in hers. It was ''really'' well-done, especially on the part of the author writing Heat's part of the story.

* There's a growing number of River Tam (''Series/{{Firefly}}'') and Riddick (''Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'') fics.

* One of [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Becks_Rylynn/pseuds/Becks_Rylynn Becks Rylynn's]] favorite pairings is Laurel Lance (''Series/{{Arrow}}'') and Dean Winchester (''Series/{{Supernatural}}''). It works ''really'' well, most notably in ''FanFic/HowTheLightGetsIn''.
* ''Series/OnceUponATime'':
** There is a large fandom for Belle and Nicholas Rush (''Series/StargateUniverse''), mainly due to the fact that Rush is played by Creator/RobertCarlyle, who plays Belle's main love interest, Rumplestiltskin. It's to the point that on [=AO3=], the Rush/Belle pairing has the second most fics of any ''Stargate Universe'' pairing.
** Emma/Regina shippers have a habit of trying to ship Emma with any character Creator/LanaParrilla has played on television. The most notable is Trina Decker from ''Series/{{Swingtown}}'', for which there is a surprising number of fanfics. There are also some support for Emma/Rita Castillo from ''Series/WhyWomenKill'' in the wake of that show's second season.
* Alicia Clark (''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'') getting shipped with Clarke Griffin (''Series/The100''), is rather popular due to her actress, Creator/AlyciaDebnamCarey, also playing Clarke's love interest, Lexa, and the circumstances of their [[BuryYourGays "break-up"]] in that show. There's even [[WhatIf what-ifs]] where it's a ReincarnationRomance with Creator/ElizaTaylor playing a ''The Walking Dead'' universe version of Clarke named Elyza Lex.
* ''Series/HannahMontana'':
** Miley Stewart is often shipped with several other Creator/DisneyChannel characters. On Platform/FanfictionDotNet, Miley is shipped with Alex Russo from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', which is possible as they both appeared in a crossover with ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'', Zack Martin from ''The Suite Life on Deck'', and Mitchie Torres and Nate Grey from ''Film/CampRock''.
** Mikayla has a large number of fanfics that pairs her with Mitchie Torres from ''Film/CampRock'', mainly due to the real-life complicated relationship between their actresses, Music/SelenaGomez and Music/DemiLovato, and feeling they would have good chemistry.
* Sonny Munroe (''Series/SonnyWithAChance'') has been shipped with Alex Russo from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', which is strange, as that show exists as a fictional show InUniverse, as Music/SelenaGomez shows up and Sonny is revealed to be a fan of it. This is mainly due to shippers feeling that the two would have great chemistry and the real life friendship of their actress at the time of airing. There are a large number of fanfics for it on Platform/FanfictionDotNet, with most of these being full [=AUs=] where the Russo family just exists as real people and not as characters on a TV show.
* There's a relatively large fanbase for shipping Dana Scully (''Series/TheXFiles'') and Stella Gibson (''Series/TheFall2013''), especially on sites like [=AO3=], mainly due to both being played by Creator/GillianAnderson.
