Lift Anchor and Set Sail

What are some fanworks that got you interested in a pairing. Canon, crack, crossover, or anything inbetween.

I read Confidence (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1178923) before I'd even read the Silmarillion and it made me want to ship Sauron/Celebrimbor.

Fandom and a few fanfics made me ship Maedhros/Fingon. I came out of the Silmarillion liking their friendship, but I didn't ship until I got into the fandom.

This fic made me ship Maedhros/Maglor: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5445785

This piece of fanart by chaoslindsay got me interested in Mary Poppins/Ms. Frizzle.

You Will Never Be Alone in the Bone Orchard by Sarah T.
Sherlockbbc gen(ish) Mycroft, Watson, Sherlock

http://sherlock-flashfic.dreamwidth.org/19955.html

Even though this fic could be an example of why Mycroft/John is a dark road to go down, it got me interested in the pairing and had me craving more Mycroft&John interactions in general.

*****

Which Has No Stone by sam_ptarmigan
Hobbit Dwalin/Bifur

http://archiveofourown.org/works/681767

This fic made me want dozens more for the pairing.

***

Untarnished by Oparu
hp McGonagall/Madame Hooch

http://archiveofourown.org/works/240163

McGonagall is this awesome character I adore, but she is someone I don't really think of as a sexual being. This pairing turned out to be the exception and this fic introduced me to the idea.

Parallel Evolution by mosca
Star Trek: DS9 Bashir/Garak, Jadzia/Worf, Leeta/Rom

http://mosca.livejournal.com/425739.html

Leeta/Rom was one of those canon pairings I felt indifferent towards. This fic showed them in a really sweet light that got me shipping.

I'm not even done reading it yet but thank you so much for this DS9 fic.

I'm glad you like it. I got interested in DS9 ~2 years ago and started searching through old rec posts.

Let me know if there is anything in particular you are interested in. It's mostly Bashir/Garak, but I have a few other pairings too.

Exaction [http://archiveofourown.org/series/294968] made me crave Solas/Dorian, even though a) WTF, and b) I don't like Solas.

Some Friendlier Sky [http://archiveofourown.org/works/609865/chapters/1098787] made me love
Courfeyrac/Cosette more than literally any other Les Mis pairing. And it's pretty much the only long work for the pairing I've ever seen, so - woe is me!

Oh, and Gem [http://archiveofourown.org/works/1194282/chapters/2437125] made me really interested in Bilbo Baggins/Balin/Dwalin, even though the fic itself is abandoned at six chapters and never really gets to the meat of the relationship.

You potentially have another convert. Courfeyrac/Cosette sounds like it could be really good.

I can't give links because they're so old, but the way I got into some of my fandoms was a bit random encounter with a fanwork.

I got into Final Fantasy because I saw an Advent Children icon of Cloud Strife on LJ which made me curious enough to go investigating FF7.

I got into Harry Potter because someone brought up Harry/Draco in a multi-fandom mailing list round robin I was trying to participate in.

I got into LotR (after disdaining Aragorn/Legolas for ages) when, while looking at someone's collection of HP-related music vids, I found they had a LotR one that was Aragorn/Boromir. The idea of the pairing appealed to me a lot better than elfslash at that point, even if I ended up in elfslash later.
