* ''Fanfic/TheDracoTrilogy'''s main pairings on paper are Harry/Hermione and Draco/Ginny, but readers quickly latched onto the idea of Harry/Draco instead (due to them developing into something resembling HeterosexualLifePartners), to the point of getting some ShipTease in the story itself. Considering just how significant the story was in forming common {{Fanon}}, it ended up being a major cause for Harry/Draco becoming a FanPreferredCouple in the overall fanbase as well.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' has its fair share of ships, but the most popular by far is Percy×Vex'ahlia, which outstreches even its own [[ShipMates Ship Mate]] [[spoiler: turned OfficialCouple]] Keyleth×Vax by a wide margin. This is likely thanks to the sheer amount of long drawn-out ShipTease that's been in place since the Briarwoods arc.

* Out of the many ships on ''Blog/ThePredespairKids'', one of the most beloved is between Peko and OriginalCharacter Rina Kirishima, Class 79's Ultimate Taxidermist. The latter started off as a [[ShrinkingViolet shy, insecure]] girl who hated being weak, and who asked Peko to give her sword fighting lessons. Over the course of the story, both of them undergo quite a bit of CharacterDevelopment, with Rina becoming much more confident in herself and Peko growing out of her own shell. It's also very clear that [[BiTheWay Rina]] has a crush on Peko, and EveryoneCanSeeIt aside from [[ObliviousToLove Peko herself.]]

** Fans have vocally called for Harry Potter/Carol Danvers, on the grounds of the ''considerable'' [[ShipTease chemistry]] the two share despite their mutual insistence that they are JustFriends, over [[Creator/NimbusLlewelyn the author's original plan]] of Harry/Ginny. While the author has been enigmatic about the former (though his attitude has shifted from "never gonna happen" to, "All right, the PortmanteauCoupleName is cute"), the latter has been confirmed to have been removed, as part of a raft of grand scale changes to the future of the story. Eventually, [[spoiler: Harry and Carol get together in chapter 46 of the sequel]].
** The story also manifests an example of this trope, with a strong Bucky/Natasha dynamic woven in, despite the fact that the fic as a whole is heavily based on the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', with not even a tiny bit of Bruce/Natasha chemistry (despite it being MCU canon).
** Relatively early on, [[Creator/NimbusLlewelyn the author]] created a poll out of curiosity to see who fans would prefer Harry to be with. ComicBook/JeanGrey won by a clear margin, with ComicBook/EmmaFrost and Hermione Granger not far behind, tied in second place. Based on WordOfGod, Harry's not going to be paired with any of them - Jean Grey [[spoiler: is his cousin and CoolBigSis, though a letter written by a version of Harry from the future notes that she's 'disconcertingly attractive']] and pretty definitely shipped with [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers]], Emma Frost and Harry are stated not to get on at all and the narration has on more than one occasion noted that Harry very rarely notices that Hermione is female and is 'about as attracted to her as he is to mould'.
** A more recently released poll confirmed that Harry/Carol is the most popular possible choice, but also showed that Harry/[[ComicBook/WonderWoman Diana]] was a very close second.

The finale [[spoiler:where Raku dies in Koneko's arms as she cries]] only cemented the pairing. Prior to that Kidnapper-kun/Hitoshi was the most popular ship [[spoiler:until it became the OfficialCouple]].
* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'':
** For most of the history, Grif×Simmons has been ''the'' main ship, which is helped by the large amount of HoYay and creators implying it's canon.
** On the Yuri side, Agents Connecticut and South Dakota, who never had a single meaningful interaction onscreen.
** As of Season 11, Tucker×Washington has become one of the most popular ''Red vs. Blue'' ships.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** Weiss and Ruby, which the fandom has given a nickname ("White Rose"), were shipped together ever since their prequel trailers first came out. The fact that the characters would go on to have personalities [[OutdatedByCanon far different]] than what was first assumed (Ruby was thought to be TheStoic and a Weiss {{Tsundere}}) did nothing to slow this, with White Rose continuing to be one of the most popular pairings in the entire show.
** Blake and Yang, which the fandom has given a nickname ("Bumblebee"). Like White Rose, this originates from the prequel trailers. Within the show itself, Blake and Yang have the most HoYay of any same-sex pairing, and the fans delight in every emotional scene between them. Bumblebee is another of the most popular ships in the entire series.
** Sun Wukong gets shipped with his CasanovaWannabe team mate Neptune, which initially began based on Neptune's appearance alone. This later gained popularity as a result of his {{adorkable}} personality, as well as a desire to solve the [[DieForOurShip perceived threat]] to both the Bumblebee and White Rose ships which arises from the ShipTease between Sun and Blake and Neptune and Weiss.
** Out of STRQ, Qrow and Summer are the most popular couple. It eclipses all of the other pairings including the two (including the official Taiyang×Summer) in terms of fan-art and fan-fics. As of Volume 6, there's been no concrete proof that Qrow ever loved Summer romantically, but it's {{fanon}} to believe he did. Many fans believe that Qrow is Ruby's biological dad and that the family did a FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo. [[WordOfGod Doesn't seem to matter that the writers have disproven this theory]]. Even those who don't believe this theory do believe that Summer is Qrow's [[TheLostLenore Lost Lenore]].
* ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' has [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] and [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Meggy the Inkling]], which seems to be the most beloved pairing of the series thanks to their [[OddFriendship strange]] yet [[VitriolicBestBuds endearing]] friendship, and Meggy being one of the few characters that [[{{Jerkass}} Mario]]'s almost always friendly to. Half of the fanbase hopes for the pairing to become official, [[BrokenBase however the other half]] thinks otherwise [[NoYay considering her age]].

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'':
** Enough comments appeared on the threads shipping Skitter and Clockblocker together that the author had Clockblocker explicitly sink it in canon.
** Beyond Skitter×Clockblocker, other pairings like Skitter×[[TheMedic Panacea]] and Skitter×[[SmugSnake Tattletale]] tend to be much more popular than canon pairing Skitter×Grue.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Videos]]
* It would probably be easier to name the ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' fanfics and fanart that ''don't'' ship the Notebook and Tony the Talking Clock. The two of them have never interacted, and they've never been onscreen at the same time for more than a few seconds.
* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' has its fair share of ships, but the most popular by far is Percy×Vex'ahlia, which outstreches even its own [[ShipMates Ship Mate]] [[spoiler: turned OfficialCouple]] Keyleth×Vax by a wide margin. This is likely thanks to the sheer amount of long drawn-out ShipTease that's been in place since the Briarwoods arc.

Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Music]]
* ''Music/{{Vocaloid}}'':
** Although everything, including pairings, is purely fanon, the most popular heterosexual ships seem to be Gakupo×Luka, Kaito×Miku, and Len×Rin. Though Kaito×Meiko and Gakupo×Gumi do give them a run for their money.
** Miku×Luka is the most popular homosexual pairing, having had albums full of songs about their love. Yaoi fans, however, tend to gravitate towards Kaito×Gakupo. It probably helps that they're the only two out of the most popular ones who are male and over the physical age of 16.
* In the album ''In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'' by band Neutral Milk Hotel the narrator often alludes to Anne Frank. Fan interpretations include the pairing of Jeff Mangum, the writer and singer of the album, with Anne Frank and the belief that Jeff actually is in love with her. The lyrics, many of them sexual in nature, seem to be the main reason people come to this conclusion.
* The two main characters played by Music/EllieGoulding and Music/CalvinHarris from "Outside" music video are prominently shipped together because their other major collaboration "I Need Your Love" featured the two characters (also played by them) as an adorable couple as well as Goulding and Harris's real life friendship.
* From the famous children's group ''Music/TheWiggles'', Emma and Lachy take this UpToEleven. They hid their relationship for two years, but in those days, even the ''children'' started to see something spark between them. Now they are engaged and married.
[[/folder]]


Added DiffLines:


[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* ''[[SlashFic Slash]]'' itself is wildly more popular than heterosexual pairings, that wrestling boils down to good-looking, half-naked men rolling around while often times covered in sweat does not help, with all the HoYay and FoeYay abound ''outside'' of the actual matches.
* The majority of heterosexual pairings in the fandom are not the male & female wrestlers in regulation pairings, but rather the Male wrestlers with female OriginalCharacters. There are vast numbers of poor quality [[SelfInsertFic Self-Insert Fics]].
* Wrestling/AJLee was in an OfficialCouple or had ShipTease with a grand total of six guys... ''in one year''. This was bound to happen eventually. Of those six guys (Wrestling/DanielBryan, Wrestling/CMPunk, Wrestling/{{Kane}}, Wrestling/JohnCena, Wrestling/DolphZiggler, and Big E. Langston), her most popular pairing is with Punk, despite their interaction ending very quickly, becoming out of character alignment and AF ending up with Ziggler in canon for well over a year after Punk. [[HilariousInHindsight Ironically]], [[RomanceOnTheSet Punk started dating AJ]] in late 2013, and [[UpToEleven they got engaged the next year and married in June 2014]].
* For many years the FoeYay between Wrestling/ChrisJericho and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon made them a FanPreferredCouple. As time went on and a great lack of interaction in the last decade, their popularity has been taken over by Stephanie's RealLife relationship with Wrestling/TripleH.
* Wrestling/TheShield:
** No matter how popular other couples comprising of them are, it can't compare to how much the fans like to ship them with each other, especially after they broke up. The most popular, of course, is Wrestling/DeanAmbrose and Wrestling/SethRollins (Ambrollins), though adding Wrestling/RomanReigns to the mix and making it a OneTrueThreesome is certainly not uncommon either.
** On the heterosexual side of things, Seth is most commonly paired with Wrestling/{{Paige}} (most likely due to their similar tastes and looks and the fact that they were supposed to have a romantic storyline together down in developmental), while Dean's RealLife relationship with Renee Young has been happily embraced by fans.

* Well, “fan” is a relative term, but anyone who's read ''Fanfic/SupperSmashBrosMishonhFromGod'' will point out the [[LesYay blatant subtext]] between Sara and her best friend Lauren, to the point that most people seem to prefer pairing them together rather than pairing Lauren with Ike and Sara with one of her numerous boyfriends. The author's [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday repeated denial that she's a lesbian]] hasn't stopped anyone.

** While neither of these pairings has come about, fans have vocally called for Harry Potter/Carol Danvers, on the grounds of the ''considerable'' [[ShipTease chemistry]] the two share despite their mutual insistence that they are JustFriends, over the WordOfGod stated original plan of Harry/Ginny. While the author has been enigmatic about the former (though his attitude has shifted from "never gonna happen" to, "All right, the PortmanteauCoupleName is cute"), the latter has been confirmed to have been removed, as part of a raft of grand scale changes to the future of the story.

WAFF is now on Sugar Wiki.


Unrelated discussions degenerate into ShipToShipCombat involving them. FanArt of them embracing passionately is everywhere.

[[ShippingGoggles Bits of trivia]] are cited and WordOfGod is creatively interpreted to show that they ''are'' going to happen. The OfficialCouple they're breaking up gets only three votes in fan support polls, possibly including one vote cast by a very alarmed author. They are a phenomenon shrouded in infamy.
