History ShipperOnDeck / FanWorks

* ''Fanfic/StoryOfTheCentury'' has [[PerkyGoth Misa]]--and to a far lesser extent, [[CoolOldGuy Watari]]--regarding [[AntiHero L]] [[BelligerentSexualTension and]] OriginalCharacter [[{{Tsundere}} Erin.]] Misa [[spoiler:(before getting her memories back and returning to her role as the Second Kira)]] teases Erin about the possibility that L might like her, and even has Erin accompany her on her dates with Light while he and L are chained together, ostensibly so things aren't as awkward if they're double-dates, but also in hopes that something will happen between them. However, it's not clear whether she genuinely wanted Erin and L to hook up for their own happiness's sake, or [[ManipulativeBastard if she just wanted to use Erin to distract L so she could spend better quality time with Light.]] It's implied that it's more the latter. [[spoiler:Either way, depending on how you view the story's ultimate outcome after she and Light regain their memories, her ploy either has GoneHorriblyWrong or GoneHorriblyRight for her and Light.]]
** As for Watari, he's implied (mostly in supplementary material) to have shades of this himself. However, unlike Misa [[DefiedTrope he never says anything about it nor does he act on it]], chiefly because A) L doesn't need the distraction, especially not while he's working on the most dangerous case he's ever taken up, and B) he figured nothing would have come out of it anyway just because of how L is. He prefers to leave it to L to ultimately make his own choices. [[spoiler:He doesn't live to see for himself, but [[DidNotGetTheGirl he was right.]]]]

[[AC:''Series/{{Supernatural}}''

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34839451/chapters/87977464 Eloquent Silence]]'', Nadja pushes the [=LadyNoir=] agenda. This extends beyond just wanting ratings; when Ladybug reveals that she's actually dating Silencer, Nadja balks and stammers. It's heavily implied that she doesn't approve because Silencer [[CuteMute doesn't speak]] and isn't a white-skinned pretty boy blond like Chat Noir.

* Part of Alya's arc in ''Fanfic/TheOneToMakeItStay'' revolves around [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype deconstructing this type of character]]:
** Firstly, she is so eager to see Marinette confess to her crush that she keeps engineering {{Zany Scheme}}s to help them get together. Not only do these not work (since StatusQuoIsGod), but they take a toll on Marinette's psyche; each successive failure makes her nervous about trying again and humiliating herself even more. Rather than listening to her friend's concerns, however, Alya perceives this as Marinette simply being [[ShrinkingViolet too shy to act on her own]] and needing to be pushed.
--->'''Marinette:''' But I don't ''want'' to confess to Adrien.\\
'''Alya:''' [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint That's exactly my point]]. Now come on, Adrien is waiting for you.
** Even when Marinette spells out for her that she's moved on from her crush and has started dating Luka, Alya [[IRejectYourReality rejects that reality]] by suggesting that she's only dating Luka [[OperationJealousy to make Adrien jealous]]. She quickly follows that up with attempting to arrange a date between Adrien and ''Lila'', making it look as though she's bounced to another ship. [[spoiler:In reality, though, this is Alya's attempt to stage an OperationJealousy of her own. Knowing that Marinette dislikes Lila, she hopes to spur her into dumping Luka and chasing after Adrien again after seeing him with her 'rival'.]]
** Alya also supports [=LadyNoir=], and kicks off a considerable amount of drama when she secretly films one of Chat's {{Love Confession}}s and [[ManipulativeEditing edits the footage]] to make it appear that Ladybug reciprocated rather than gently turning him down. She then posts the results on her Ladyblog, encouraging Chat to double down on his [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled behavior]]... and when Ladybug [[WhatTheHellHero confronts her about it]], insists that she didn't do anything wrong.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/OhRhonda'', Phoebe and Nadine like the idea of Rhonda having a crush on Arnold and try to push them together as best as they could. Likewise, Rhonda and Nadine ship Phoebe with Gerald.

* ''Fanfic/ItsNotTheRaptorDNA'' has Elise the ''Indominus Rex'' nudging KindlyVet Jackie towards Lowery as best as she can manage for being a giant dinosaur. She succeeds, and the two humans hit off rather well.

* A number of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' romance fics involve some character or characters shipping Dean and Castiel, usually making active attempts to get them together while considering them clueless about the true nature of their relationship. The culprit is often Sam, although Gabriel is probably the second-most common offender. Such fics also frequently upgrade the show's liberal use of HoYay moments to EveryoneCanSeeIt.

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': Danny and Star's budding attraction gets acknowledged and accepted by a few.
** Despite her own feelings for Danny, Valerie thinks they'd be good together.
** Star's father has a subtle approval of how close his daughter is getting with Danny Fenton, since he's much nicer than her old friends.
** Cujo overhears Star admitting she has feelings for Danny and is happy to hear his favorite person in two worlds has an admirer.
** Upon meeting Star, Frostbite likes that she's more amiable than Sam and that she'd make a good mate for Danny.
* In general, [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny Phantom]] fics that ship Danny and [[DatingCatwoman Ember]] usually have [[BetaCouple Kitty and Johnny]] involved in this capacity. It helps that all 3 are characterized as less malicious than most of Danny's RoguesGallery, and often come across as pretty friendly off the clock.

[[AC:''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/ToHellAndBackArrowverse'' presents several examples:
** Moira ships Oliver/Laurel (which has a strong possibility of happening), and Carter/Kara (which will never be happening).
** A number of people, including Henry, Oliver, and Kara, ship Barry/Iris. That being said, they recognize that Eddie's presence and Barry's refusal to pursue his best friend romantically means it won't be happening for a while.
* ''Series/Supergirl2015'' fanfic ''Fanfic/MyYouthIsYours'': Mxyzptlk, rather than wanting to marry Kara himself like in the show, just thinks Kara and Lena are adorable together and wants them to get married. They'd be mostly fine with it if not for the part where, after the wedding, he'll take them to be part of his collection.
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22685074 Regaining Perspective]]'', Diggle takes his Oliver/Felicity shipping to new heights. The plot is that Cupid gives Oliver a love potion, only for it to be inadvertently triggered by Laurel instead. Diggle seems genuinely insulted it wasn't activated by Felicity, comforted when he's told that it only focused on Laurel because Oliver saw her first, and upon learning that Oliver actually saw ''Cupid'' first, but seeing someone (Laurel) he still had genuine feelings for overrode it, immediately asks if there's a second override that could have triggered by him seeing Felicity.
** Oliver is rather annoyed by it, noting that Diggle (and the team in general) tend to be dismissive towards Laurel and his feelings to her.
** Laurel is also ''uncomfortably'' aware, but [[spoiler:after Oliver reassures her that his feelings are genuine and they resume their relationship is largely unconcerned. Apparently concluding that if Diggle (or anyone else) has a problem with them dating, that's ''his'' problem]].
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21214895 Old Associations]]'', Diggle is so obsessed with Oliver/Felicity that he more or less forces them into couples counseling to get them back together, and is the only one upset when said counseling breaks them up more when a word association test reveals that Oliver still considers ''Laurel'' "home". Later, he's ''still'' trying to get Oliver and Felicity back together, and even tries to get Laurel to tell Felicity that she (Laurel) is not in love with Oliver. Laurel refuses, and points out that while she wants them ''happy'', he wants them ''together''.
-->'''Laurel:''' What I still feel doesn’t matter. It’s about what Oliver and Felicity feel. And I’m saying this as objectively as I can, but John, if Felicity is looking for reasons not to get back together with Oliver, then we all just have to accept that. Forcing things won’t do it any good.
-->'''Diggle:''' So you want them to stay broken up.\\
'''Laurel:''' I’m not saying they can’t find each other again, just right now is not the right time. I want them to be happy, whether that’s together or apart.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'']]
* Most of Gumball and Teri’s classmates in ''Fanfic/TeriXGumballInBetweenWorlds'' ship them because they have been hanging out for a few weeks and they showed up at the bus stop together.
** Yui (Teri's Mother) as well because of how Gumball is making her daughter happy.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'']]
* Pops up a few times in ''Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}}'' in regards to Beetlejuice and Lydia. Donny, BJ's brother, outright calls himself this in regards to the pairing. He's joined there by Prince Vince and Lydia's friends Prudence and Bertha, and... [[EveryoneCanSeeIt pretty much everyone who knows them, really]].

[[AC:''Manga/{{Bleach}}'']]
* Rukia in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6401057/12/Getting-It-Right Getting It Right]]'' ships Ichigo and Orihime ''hard'', to the point that she often takes pictures of them being (unknowingly) adorable together and calls it her ''Ichihime'' collection.

[[AC:''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'']]
* In ''Fanfic/TheFledglingYear'', many of the girls who are supposed to be Cor’s [[UnwantedHarem potential brides]] don’t bother trying to ingratiate themselves—not because they don’t like him, but because it’s [[EveryoneCanSeeIt obvious to everyone but him]] that he’s in love with Aravis. Hana particularly outright says that it’s ridiculous to think of anyone but Aravis marrying Cor, and periodically gives her advice on their relationship.

[[AC:''Anime/CodeGeass'']]
* Slightly deconstructed with Lelouch towards Nunnally and Suzaku in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13609694/1/Code-Geass-Another-World-Prompt Code Geass: Another World]] when he has the two formally engaged, despite the fact the two were already dating and wanting to be engaged on their own terms. Nunnally decides to retaliate by informing [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Lelouch]] about how sexually active the two are, knowing it'll set him on a rampage in Britannia (which thankfully get stopped by Euphemia.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'', due to his InsaneTrollLogic about romance, [[PsychoForHire Gadjo]] ships Robin/Raven.

* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'': Scootaloo ships Rainbow Dash and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Shatterstorm]]. Dash is... [[SpitTake surprised]] by this, to say the least. And then annoyed when Spitfire later gets in on the act.
** And then comes the midquel, where [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment Aeon]] ships [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin Jonathan and Charlotte.]]
** Luna ships her sister with Julius Belmont. CrackPairing, ahoy!
* In ''Fanfic/ProjectIgnition'', [[TheRival Llad]] and [[TeamMom Lunaterisa]] happen to be this to [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Adler and Selene]]. To be fair, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone sorta does.]]
* In ''Fanfic/TheBankCalledYourRealityCheckBounced'', Tamaki gets all the members of the Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub to help him get [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] to admit his feelings for Winry Rockbell. This is after being told that he's not allowed to actively ship [[BodyguardCrush Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye]] because of fraternization laws.
* In ''Fanfic/GameOfTouhou'', Ser Shou Toramaru tries to approach her both squires, Nazrin and Jaime, into getting closer, teasing them whenever she can.
* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'':
** Princess Celestia tries to nudge Godzilla Junior (who's been transformed into a Unicorn), and Princess Luna together.
** Megalon gets happy and asks when's the wedding when Mane-iac hits on Gigan.
** Sonata Dusk gets a big grin when she notices Aria Blaze and Monster X are now a couple.
* In ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'':
** Misato shipped Shinji and Asuka and tried to help them to get together.
** Shinji also shipped his friend Touji with Hikari.
* Misato shipped Shinji/Asuka in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod''. In a scene she asks if they’re making out, and when they deny it, she pouts.

* In ''Fanfic/BeyondTheOuterGateLies'', a crossover between ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' and ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'', Lash strongly supports Harry in romancing both Sona and Tsubasa, gleefully encouraging him to start a harem. This gets even worse in a continuation fic by a different author that adds Reya and Serafall to the mix. Harry himself is romantically interested in all the girls, but is hampered both by his mental age (he arrived in the Dxd world in a teenage body but retains his original mind from when he was well into his 40's) and his previous relationship history.
** Later chapters of the continuation fic implies that the Winter Mantle also pushes for Harry to hook up with the girls, despite not technically being a person of its own.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', several characters (such as the Avengers and Jean-Paul) ship Harry Potter[=/=]Thorson and Carol Danvers, since literally EveryoneCanSeeIt - seriously, ''everyone'', even random supervillains. [[spoiler: They end up getting together in chapter 46 of the sequel]].
** Harry himself later plays matchmaker for Diana and Ginny, after noting a mutual attraction between them and figuring it'd be healthy for both of them to give it a try.
* ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'': It's subtle, but Chapter 12 implies Milly is aware of the attraction between Lelouch and Kallen.
* ''Fanfic/CodePrime'': A lot of people support Lelouch and Kallen as a couple. At first, it starts small with Arcee, Nunnally, and Bumblebee in ''R1''. By ''R2'', practically everybody in the Autobots and Black Knights can notice the hidden feelings the two have for each other. Kallen's mother even jokingly refers to Lelouch as her future son-in-law.
** As Dreadwing as present during the Battle of Kyushu when Suzaku and Euphemia confessed their feelings, he supports them as a couple. Kaguya in ''R2'' also supports Suzaku and Euphie, even joking that they should get married.
* Invoked to a degree in ''Fanfic/InfinityCrisis''; after Pietro is brought back to life by Barry and Wally and the Vision is reactivated by Shuri and Cyborg, Pietro informs the Vision that he accepts that the android makes his sister happy, but affirms that he'll dismantle the Vision if Wanda is hurt.
* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomVsAmericanDragonJakeLongTheNovelization'': [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong Jake]] offers to help [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny]] be less weak-kneed with girls if he wants his CelebCrush, Kim Possible, to take interest in him.

* In ''Fanfic/LostInCamelot'', Kenzi immediately expresses her approval of Bo/Merlin when she becomes aware that Merlin has feelings for Bo, but is quick to adapt that to Bo/Merlin/Morgana when she learns that Morgana is a potential factor as well (when Bo asks why she never suggested a triad for Dyson and Lauren in the future, Kenzi just points out that sharing wouldn't have worked in that scenario as Dyson and Lauren didn't particularly like ''each other'').

* ''Fanfic/TheGhostBoyAndTheCombatants'': In the second story that crosses over with ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'':
** Morrigan Aensland is openly supportive of Lilith's infatuation with Danny, proudly calling him her future brother-in-law despite having just met him.
** Even before Hsien-ko starts developing an interest in him, Mei-Ling openly teased the idea of her and Danny hooking up.
* ''Fanfic/UniverseFalls'' has a number of examples, usually revolving around self-proclaimed matchmaker Mabel:
** Mabel seems to want to see Steven and Connie as a couple, warning Dipper not to "ruin the moment" when Steven and Connie have an AlmostKiss in "An Indirect Kiss".
** Mabel likes to tease Dipper about his budding crush on Pacifica Northwest, and she and Steven team up to try and get the two together in "Mismatched Making".
** Mabel is enthusiastic about the possibility of Lapis Lazuli and Peridot getting together in "Same Old World", mostly because she wants more entries to her list of "Cutest Gem Couples" besides Ruby and Sapphire.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' [[PlayedForDrama plays this for drama]]. When Gladion [[Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily wound up on the Train]], Mallow was the only one who was worried about his disappearance. Unfortunately, her friends blow this off, joking about her having a crush -- when Mallow asks how they would have reacted if ''she'' vanished, Lana suggests "Elopement", pushing her past her RageBreakingPoint and sparking off a furious [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech dressing-down]].
* In ''Fanfic/FlagFlyingHigh'', Lan Sizhui is so completely, hopelessly crushing on Harry that his friends decide to push them together because he would never dare on his own and it would be cringegingly awkward if the sexual tension just keeps climbing up.

* Commonly [[FandomSpecificPlot targeted for]] [[DeconstructionFic demolition and deconstruction]] in fanworks, particularly those that don't support the Love Square. The amount of pressure Marinette is under to keep pursuing Adrien [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption despite numerous failures]] ''and'' public pressure for Ladybug and Chat Noir to hook up despite her reluctance tends to be highlighted in such works.

* {{Deconstructed}} in ''Fanfic/{{Recommencer|MiraculousLadybug}}'': After Chat Noir is widely witnessed refusing to help Ladybug against an akuma unless she 'admits that she loves him' first, forcing [[BadassBystander civilians to step in and assist her instead]], he gets forcibly retired. While some are happy to see him gone after he [[NotAGame took matters so lightly]] and harassed his partner, others are distressed -- mostly because [[ShipSinking their beloved [=LadyNoir=] is no more]]. Merch supporting the pairing continues to be sold, and Alya posts an article on her Ladyblog ranting about how '[=LadyNoir=] can still win'.

* In the ''Soulsborne'' [[note]]''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'', ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'', and ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''[[/note]] crossover comedy fic ''Fanfic/HotspringSouls'', Solaire is one for the Chosen Undead/Rhea of Thorolund. The Slayer of Demons ships them as well.

While initially Mal is aware that she has a distinct relationship with Ben and Evie, she eventually uses a temporary sickness spell on herself so that Ben and Evie will go to a party without her, allowing them both to recognise that they have growing feelings for each other beyond their mutual love for Mal.

* A lot of the background characters are this for the two main pairings in ''[[Fanfic/TwiceUponAnAge All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird]]'', with Varric and Dorian leading the shipping squad. The two main characters also very much ship one another with their respective {{love interest}}s. It's implied that Dorian ships [[spoiler:Varric and Bethany]] from practically the moment the latter arrives in Skyhold, although nobody seems to know exactly what's going on there.

* A recurring theme in the ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook'' series, with pretty much everyone shipping the {{official couple}}s. The student body in general is (in the words of the authors) "a Greek chorus of {{squee}}" when it comes to the love lives of their teachers.

[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]

* Taro, Lucille's talking doll in Tales of Faith, loves shipping the members of the Crystal Bearers together, much to their embarrassment(or annoyance). He ships Luca/Vanille, Arturo/Natalia, Cress/Irvine, and even he could see the slightly blossoming relationship of Elazul/Marian after meeting the two. He ships Luca/Vanille the most that throughout the final arc, he enjoys watching them squirm and blush.

* As of the show's second volume, it [[AscendedFanon is now canon]] that Nora ships Jaune/Pyrrha.

* ''Fanfic/RWBYReckoning'' has Blake and Ruby supporting Yang and Darrel's attraction to each other. Blake outright states that the two would make a cute couple.
* The fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10082857/1/Matchmaking-Madness Matchmaking Madness]]'' has all of Team RWBY as this for Jaune and Pyrrha; all four of them attempt a ZanyScheme to get the two to hook up. While all of their attempts fail, the two still end up becoming a couple, thanks to the efforts of [[spoiler:Cardin]], who happens to be this for them as well.
* ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'' has Yang for Ruby and Weiss. [[spoiler: Due to the events of the Music Festival, the pair becomes a reality as of chapter 72 of Volume 1.]]

* Weiss very much ships Ruby with Aero in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11381322/1/Shard: Shard]]'' and isn't to happy with the failed attempts to push them together during the [[spoiler:day at the beach]] chapter.
* ''Fanfic/TheRWBYLoops'' has Ruby react to any ship with glee, so long as it doesn't involve her. It's implied she does this mostly to combat her own loneliness during loops where nobody else is present, and generally avoids causing issues for actual relationships.

* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfRemnant'': Yang encourages Pyrrha to tell Jaune about her feelings for him, hoping that by stepping up and taking charge then Jaune will be all for it. It gets much more complicated when she realizes that Blake is also in love with him.

* Rather justified in ''Fanfic/ImpenetrableWalls'' by the Palace of Quiescence's attendants, since their ''lives'' genuinely depend on their master attracting the Imperial Brother to bed -- in Ancient China, a concubine's household would be executed alongside her if said concubine fell from grace.
** Still, they can't hold a candle to the Emperor himself. This guy forces his brother's not-so-hidden crush to become said sibling's concubine, sends them porn books as a bridal gift and outright visits to express his disapproval of them refusing to engage into sex. When you're the Son of Heaven, subtle is for other, lowly people.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13236141/chapters/30276501 Teaching Lessons]]'', Gabriel Agreste (who in this story is a SecretSecretKeeper to Adrien and is not Hawk Moth) gives his son advice on how to woo Ladybug.
* ''Fanfic/MarinetteDupainChengsSpitePlaylist'' plays this painfully, as Alya and Nino both support the idea of their friends Lila and Adrien getting together... without realizing that Lila is a BitchInSheepsClothing who's mainly interested in Adrien [[GoldDigger as a social tool]]. So when she [[ForcefulKiss forcibly kisses]] him to stake her claim, both react with excitement, completely missing his horror.

* ''Fanfic/BurningBridgesBuildingConfidence'' also casts this in a bad light. Alya is so eager to see [=LadyNoir=] become canon that when she overhears Chat [[AchillesInHisTent refusing to help]] unless Ladybug 'admits' that she needs him and agrees to get together, she [[SkewedPriorities doesn't see anything]] [[BetrayalByInaction wrong with it]].
-->''Good ultimatum'', Alya thought. ''She better do it quick, or else they might get her miraculous.''

* In ''The Melting Pot'', a good part of the action is set off by Pinkie Pie telling Lyra and Bon-Bon [[LesYay they make a cute couple]] just before going on a trip. [[spoiler: In the final chapter, Pinkie turns out to be [[TheChessmaster subtly setting up]] several budding romances between background characters from the show.]]

* Pinkie Pie ships [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/racer-and-the-geek Rainbow Dash and Sunny Breeze]] in ''Fanfic/RacerAndTheGeek''
* [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/10/story-shipping-and-handling.html Shipping and Handling]]'s basic plot is that, currently employed as a matchmaker, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Derpy Hooves]] has to play ShipperOnDeck for each of her assignments (with her first being Spike asking for an excuse for private time with Rarity).

* In the ''Fanfic/PoniesOfOlympus'' series, as revealed in ''Atlas Strongest Tournament'', Sweetie Belle ships Spike with her sister, while Apple Bloom ships him with [[spoiler: Scootaloo]].
* ''Fanfic/TheNuptialverse'': A RunningGag in ''Families'' is that Pinkie Pie is convinced that Applejack and Twilight are in denial about their true feelings for each other.
* Cadance tends to do this in ''Fanfic/DiariesOfAMadman'', much to Navarone's frustration.
* In Fanfic/RealityChecksNyxverse, Nyx (and all of Twilight's friends) are this for her and Ink Spot. And then it turns out that Celestia [[TheChessmaster engineered their meeting]], because she remembered that Ink Spot is Twilight's type.
* Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy for Applejack and Rainbow Dash in ''[[Fanfic/TheDearSweetieBelleContinuity Morning Glory]]''. [[spoiler:They slip them the Apples' "honeymoon cider" which was meant for Fluttershy, [[NaughtyByNight not that she needed it]].]]

* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'':
** In the sequel ''Picking Up the Pieces'', Sweet Surprise recognizes that Gentle Step has feelings for Memorizing Gaze that run deeper than friendship, and is in favor of the relationship. In chapter 12, Page Turner also informs Memorizing that she fully supports them. Memorizing's brothers are also in favor when they find out.
** In the first omake chapter, Reel fully supports Gentle Step/Memorizing Gaze as a couple.
* In ''Fanfic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'':
** Princess Celestia shows she is well aware of how many ponies who had the titles "Faithful Student" and "Night Apprentice" ended up in lasting romantic relationships, and implies she may or may not have paired two ponies she thought would make a good couple in the past.
** Trixie, who is TheNotLoveInterest to Nova, is quite supportive of Nova and Twilight ending up together, though her method is usually rather antagonistic.
* Cadance in the ''The Royal Family'' blog has had an obsession with shipping ponies that dates back to fillyhood.
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' fic ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/324910/everyone-ships-twilight Everyone Ships Twilight]]'' is based around this - Twilight admits to her family that she's gay, which they'd already figured out, and that she's dating Rainbow Dash. Then she finds out they and a few others all shipped her with people other than her actual girlfriend (the exception was Vice-Principal Luna, who'd actually ''seen'' Rainbow asking Twilight out). Specifically:
** Night Light thought she was with Applejack.
** Twilight Velvet thought she was with Fluttershy.
** Shining Armor had money on Pinkie.
** Cadance figured on Sunset.
** Principal Celestia thought she was with Rarity.
*** In the final chapter, Twilight finds out her friends all had their own ideas:
** Sunset, before she knew Twilight preferred girls, shipped her with Flash Sentry.
** Applejack thought Indigo Zap from Crystal Prep had a thing for Twilight. Twilight points out that Indigo's straight and has a boyfriend.
** Pinkie doesn't exactly ship it and recognizes that it's really more of a sisterly relationship, but she thinks it's sweet how Cadance treats Twilight. Twilight informs her that while she can understand how Pinkie might think that way, Cadance is with Twilight's brother Shining Armor.
** Fluttershy thinks the two Twilights would make a good couple.
** Rarity ships ''everyone'', Twilight included, with herself.
* ''Fanfic/TheFlashSentryChronicles'':
** Princess Cadance has been trying to get Flash and Twilight together for years.
** Once Rainbow's mom, Windy Whistles, meets Soarin and realizes how close he and Rainbow are she becomes ecstatic at her daughter dating a Wonderbolt and even begins fantasizing about their wedding, [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents much to Rainbow's embarrassment]].
* ''Fanfic/SunsplitSaga'': Sunset for Sunburst and Starlight, in multiple stories:
** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/322018/1/sunsplit/what-no-absolutely-not Sunsplit]]'', such as by bringing up that Starlight [[ShesGotLegs had nice legs]].
** In ''Sunshipped'', Sunset Shimmer visits Equestria to ask Starlight Glimmer a question:
---> "Hey, Glimglim--can I call you Glimglim? I've got a serious important question for you. Why aren't you snogging Sunburst yet?".
* Quite literally in ''Fanfic/TheMeaningOfHarmony'', as the Mane Five reveal that they know about the attraction between Sunset and Twilight and support it wholeheartedly, while on the deck of a boat as they head over to the Forge in Hippocampus Bay.
* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'':
** In the sequel ''Diplomat at Large'', Cadance, Celestia and the other changeling Queens are ''all'' very much in support of Luna and Pharynx as a couple. Later, ''Discord'' of all people turns out to approve of Luna and Pharynx as a couple when he appears in chapter 4.
** During the epilogue of the fourth story, ''The Diplomat's Life'', it's noted that [[spoiler:Rarity is dating both her new friend and business partner Gem Polisher, and her employee Coco Pommel, and that Spike is supportive of all of them, feeling that Gem Polisher is good for Rarity and Rarity's good for Coco. To say nothing of the fact that Velvet managed to help find someone for Celestia.]]

* In the '''Fanfic/BlackCrayons''' series, Annabelle Lennox is waiting rather impatiently for [[spoiler: Ironhide and Chromia]] to realize they belong together.

* ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'': Farmer MacDonald gives Jackie advice on trying to pick up Viper. This leaves Jackie flustered, and Viper amused.

---> '''Susanoo''': ''She is ten years old!'' [[{{Squick}} Don't project your perversions onto me, you sick freak!]]

[[AC: ''Literature/MoDaoZuShi'']]
* Rather justified in ''Fanfic/ImpenetrableWalls'' by the Palace of Quiescence's attendants, since their ''lives'' genuinely depend on their master attracting the Imperial Brother to bed -- in Ancient China, a concubine's household would be executed alongside her if said concubine fell from grace.
** Still, they can't hold a candle to the Emperor himself. This guy forces his brother's not-so-hidden crush to become said sibling's concubine, sends them porn books as a bridal gift and outright visits to express his disapproval of them refusing to engage into sex. When you're the Son of Heaven, subtle is for other, lowly people.

-->'''Mako''' [[GenkiGirl I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!]] You know what I said to my Mom when you two first met? I said 'How cool would it be if those two ended up getting together?' and now look at you two! You're like peanut butter and jelly! White on rice! Cookies and milk!

* In ''Fanfic/NarutoVeanganceRevelaitons'', an odd variant of this happens when Ronan's girlfriend Sakura, meets Atni for the first time (While Sakura [[spoiler:was dead after being killed by the Council]], Ronan met Atni and had sex with her several times).

* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'':

** [[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/1338056/005/ Gendo also ships Shinji and Asuka]]... or at least he is not willing to interfere with his son's love life (as long as it does not interfere with his plans, at least).

* ''Fanfic/CodePrimeR1Rebellion'': Chapter 21 reveals that Arcee ships Kallen and Lelouch. Several chapters later, it's shown that Nunnally believes there's something between the two that's more than just commander and subordinate. Come Chapter 31, and Bumblebee is on deck as well for the pairing, even playing romantic music when they're in his vehicle mode, much to their embarrasment. In addition, Chapter 32 also indicates that Dreadwing supports Suzaku and Euphemia as a couple.

* ''Fanfic/ToHellAndBackArrowverse'' presents the next examples:

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' [[PlayedForDrama plays this for drama]]. When Gladion [[Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily wound up on the Train]], Mallow was the only one who was worried about his disappearance. Unfortunately, her friends blow this off, joking about her having a crush -- when Mallow asks how they would have reacted if ''she'' vanished, Lana suggests "Elopement", pushing her past her RageBreakingPoint

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8619924/1/Epistolary-The-50-Years-Before-We-Were-Born Epistolary: The Fifty Years Before You Were Born]]'', River Song recalls in one chapter her efforts to get Amy and Rory together as teens. [[spoiler: Justified in her case, as she would never have existed if they didn't get together.]]
-->"Do you know how many tires I had to slash, how many boys I had to threaten, how many dates I had to turn down just to make the way clear for the two of you to finally see each other for what you were? Half the fights I got into at school in some way involved you lot. But that's ok, that's what I wanted. The two of you belong together and not just because it was necessary to maintain the timeline, complete the paradox [[spoiler: and create me]], but because you truly love each other."
