Taken from a few people around, a meme that hopefully will distract me *exactly* the appropriate amount! (And also gives me an excuse to use one of my favourite old icons, of course.)
Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply [to] you with the relationships (canon or not) from it I ship. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something.

I ship Moon/Zao, because they are obviously in love, and also very pretty! I mean, you *know* Zao leaves the diamond-shrapnel in his face as a sign of how bereft he is. How hard could it have been to pick them out of his skin? But diamonds really do represent Moon, and they're from the explosion that "killed" him. It's a very deep and obvious gesture. Poor Zao.
It might surprise you to learn that I also approve of Moon's dalliances with Frost and his obsession with Bond. Mostly because they strain the lines of the Moon/Zao relationship further (ie, make it more interesting. To me!), and the "Character X and Character X are involved, but Character X is much more emotionally invested in Character Y than vice versa," is often a relationship kink of mine. I'm kinda a sucky romantic.
Also, Rick Yune is very pretty. Thesis ends.

Ehehehe.
Hmm, I never thought of diamonds as a remembrance. I did assume they were going to be removed when he was turned into a new person or whatever and he just didn't get around to it what with being on the run.
I'm pretty much convinced that Miranda is either asexual or a lesbian, but I don't think that's necessarily what the moviemakers wanted us to think.

And the diamonds were *totally* a romantic gesture! How hard would it have been to pick the 1000s of dollars out of his face when cleaning up. Or before starting the gene therapy. Or...

And speaking of Warren, I'm fond of the undercurrents of Warren/Jean in many stories (fan written or not) revolving around the X-men's early days. Not that canon is wrong about the guy Jean choose, but it's an interesting tension.
Mystique/Destiny, because though I've read little of the canon, what I have read made me believe. And you have a woman who is used to moving unseen... and a precog. And a history - it's rude to ask a lady her age, but Mystique is much older than she looks. The possibilities are great.
And then, as I'm sure you were waiting for (snickers at your icon), Charles/Erik. The movie convinced me that their love for each other is, well, maybe not pure and true, but most certainly a driving motivation. The actors even agree, although if you were Ian McKellen, you'd probably argue for a scene where you're naked in bed with Patrick Stewart as well. Ultimate-verse aside, of which what I read was both fascinating and appalling, I wasn't confident the X-books would hit me in quite the same way. And then Marvel published Claremont's Excalibur -- aka, the one where Charles and Erik elope (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/460983.html) to a deserted (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/461844.html) island (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/616730.html).
Also, Neil Gaiman sort of wrote fanfic (http://odditycollector.livejournal.com/63779.html) about them, so they must be cool.

Yes. It's a nice complication, a lot of the time. Plus occasionally you get something as twisty as 1602 out of the relationship, which is always fun *g*.

After X3 I'm hard put to it to find an explanation for their relationship that doesn't involve them being ex-lovers... And Excalibur is hilarious :)

Ahaha. That might explain a lot. And I'm fairly sure that you're right about McKellen. Subtle he is not.

I am! He gave a rather detailed interview! It was in the entertainment news as, iirc, "Ian McKellen Wants Gay Sex Scene."
("I originally read that as 'Ian McKellen Wants Gay Sex'," posted a friend of mine. "And I thought, 'Of course he does, but why is this *news*?'")
