My 10 Favorite Couple Pairings

Okay, I found this and it was so friggin' cute I couldn't help myself... Also, I can't draw men to save my life, so I just found as much official artwork and screen caps as I could...

1 - Samantha Byrne & Damon Baird (Gears of War): Possibly the sexist couple ever. I imagine lots of snarky banter combined with incredible sexytime! XD I even wrote a fanfic about them....

2 - Thane Krios & Shepard (Mass Effect): I know I used the default FemShep up there, but I really mean for him to pair with my paragon Jenn. Unfortunately, I don't play on the PC so I can't screencap her. For these two I just imagine some kind of beautiful intensity...

3 - Nobu & Nana "Hachi" K. (Nana): I don't get excited over many anime/manga pairings, but this one sooo much. I find them to be incredibly adorable and loving to each other. I can't resist cuteness....

4 - Yuri Hyuga & Alice Elliot (Shadow Hearts): In from obscure RPG land! Possibly the sweetest and saddest romance I've ever played out in a video game. So many feels....

5 - James Vega & Shepard (Mass Effect): I specify FemShep! My first play-through of ME3, Thane died and I refused to romance anyone else. Since I didn't have an LI, after I got the extended cut, I was treated to a very touching scene featuring James at the very end. Ever since, I'm convinced FemShep should have been able to romance him...

6 - Alistair & Morrigan (Dragon Age: Origins): It's sort of the Sam/Baird thing with these two, as well. So snarky but amazing sexytime! And, well, there's the ritual and all of that too. Fine love between love and hate and all of that...

7 - Anya Stroud & Marcus Fenix (Gears of War): I have shipped these two since the first game, when my husband insisted I was crazy for thinking something was between them. Then I read the novels and yelled "Haha, idiot!"

8 - Rosa Farrell & Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV): Probably the first couple I EVER shipped! I've been all into these two since I first played the game, probably, in 1992.

9 - Nathanial Howe & Female Cousland Warden (Dragon Age: Origins): I love the idea of these two together. It seems likely they may have known each other as kids, with the Howes and the Couslands having been close.

10 - Zuko & Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender): I totally feel like a dork for admitting this, but it's my best friend's fault. She pointed it out, and I've kind of been stuck on it ever since!
