Totally agreed. They love each other, but it is a familial type of love. Sanzo's basically his older brother whose stuck in a father figure-ish role if that makes any sense. Tell me about it. I was looking for some nice, slightly fluffy Sanzo and Goku family bonding fic but all I could find was romance.

Goku just acts so damn young and fits into a younger brother role to the rest of the gang. So, I can't ship him with Hakkai or Gojyo because they basically read as older brothers to Goku to me. I kinda ship him with Lirin tbh. They're adorable together, not gonna lie.

Agreed so hard on that. While they click and work together as friends, I can't see them romantically involved. It just wouldn't work.

If you're ever interested in writing that essay, I'd totally read it. And omg, from that description alone, I kinda want to ship them together. It hits quite a few buttons of mine.

Thank you for the recs! I'm currently reading tag.0 's Mine and I'm enjoying it so far. :)

What are some of your other ships?

Lirin and Nataku are the only people in the series I can ship Goku with. Anyone else just does not work!

Heheh I don't know if I'd ever write that essay, but we'll see! It kind of gets summed up as: I think they have complementary neuroses; they'd end up helping each other rather than exacerbating the problems. Which is sort of my problem with ships like Gojyo/Hakkai or Sanzo/Gojyo - I don't think they'd be healthy for each other.

Ooh, come over to the Sanzo/Hakkai side! I have to admit, it's that particular interpretation of them that I think works - I've read a few shippy fics where their interactions just don't work for me, which is almost more of a disappointment than not finding fic at all. I really like the fact that Sanzo and Hakkai are both the sort who'd like to vanish to the library, given half a chance, and I like to imagine them sitting around having philosophical discussions when they're bored and the kids *cough Gojyo and Goku cough* are out to play. =D

As far as ships go, I usually have one OTP per fandom, but I bounce through multiple fandoms. SanzoHakkai and ZoroLuffy you already know... I guess the other anime/manga-centric ones I love are Tezuka/Ryoma from Prince of Tennis, Conrad/Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou!, and Kakashi/Naruto from, well, Naruto. With fandoms like Harry Potter, or Bleach, I generally have a favourite character (Harry and Ichigo respectively) and I'll read pretty much anything that's centred on them and has a good plot - there are a few ships I don't read (like Harry/Draco), and other than those I'll read anything. What about you?

I barely remember Nataku. I think it's time for a Saiyuki reread!

Like I said, I'd totally read it if you do. I've never really read a shipping manifesto before tbh. Never had the urge and I doubt there's any for most of my ships.

And it is an interpretation that I can get behind. Can completely understand that. Some ships just have to be written a certain way for them to work. I think it would be more of a disappoinment. Like suddenly finding a fic for a rarepair and being all happy. Then settling down and getting into only to find that every character is just horribly ooc. I try not to be picky and take what I can get but damn there's only so much ooc bullshit I can put up with.

Ohhhh yes. I can totally imagine them hanging out and complaining about the kids a bit as well. Sometimes they seek out each other just to have someone a bit more mature to talk to. I'm warming up to this ship.

I usually have one or two characters that I latch onto and proceeed to ship them with damn near everybody I can imagine. Though theres usually one pairing with those characters that is my absolute favorite. For example in Naruto those characters are Gai and Rock Lee. I ship them with damn near everyone in this series but I can't ship them together for much the same reason I can't ship Goku/Sanzo. Gai/Kakashi and Lee/Neji are my absolute faves.

For Bleach, it's Orihime and Juushiro. It's a tossup between Orihime/Byakuya and Orihime/Rukia for my fave Orihime pairing. While it's probably Juushiro/Byakuya or Juushiro/Shunsui for Juushiro.

Another one is Kuwabara from Yuu Yuu Hakusho. And for him, it's probably Kuwabara/Kurama. With Hiei/Kuwabara for a close second.

I've got more and I've not even named my ships for my main fandom but I'm getting tired. If I did name it right now, I would just end up gushing my main OTP like crazy and not get any sleep at all today. Maybe later.
