I'm trying to figure something out about my OTPs. Starting from as far back as I can remember.

Love Hina
OTP of Choice: Mutsumi/Keitaro
Why it would never happen: Naru/Keitaro were the Official Couple.

Rurouni Kenshin
OTP of Choice: Kenshin/Kaoru
Why it would never happen: ACTUALLY DID IN THE OAVS, IIRC.

Stargate: Atlantis
OTP of Choice: McKay/Sheppard, Zelenka/Weir
Why it would never happen: Gay, and I have no idea.

Firefly
OTP of Choice: Simon/Jayne, Mal/River
Why it would never happen: Actually hinted at by Adam Baldwin, and breaks up Official Couple and big ol' age difference.

Newsman RPS
OTP of Choice: Keith/Rachel, Keith/Anderson
Why it would never happen: besides the obvious IT'S FUKKEN RPS Rachel is gay, Keith is straight. Funny how that works.

Psych
OTP of Choice: Shawn/Lassiter, Gus/Juliet
Why it would never happen: Gay, breaks up Official Couple.

Metal Gear Solid
OTP of Choice: Snake/Otacon
Why it would never happen: Homophobic gamers.

Tales of Symphonia
OTP of Choice: Lloyd/ANYONE BUT COLETTE
Why it would never happen: FUCKING OFFICIAL COUPLE GODDAMNIT I HATE COLETTE.

Big Bang Theory (yes, already I'm shipping)
OTP of Choice: Penny/Sheldon (I'm as surprised as you are)
Why it would never happen: Official Couple in the way and Sheldon/Science is the show's OTP.

Sensing a pattern here. I'm genuinely trying to wrack my brain for one of my pairings that was canon. Even my handful of het pairings have some sort of issues-- which is what draws me to them, I think. I need some strangeness to the power dynamics.

Hm.
