I have only a cursory knowledge of Hellsing, from watching what I think were a couple of the OVAs and listening to my obsessed sister babbling about it, but Alucard/Alexander seems like a fairly logical ship to me? As these things go, I mean. What's particularly inexplicable about it?

Considering they usually try to kill each other every time they meet, I just don't get it, they would never screw, just fight.

Passion is passion, and from what I understand these two are operating on a particularly potent combination of hatred, admiration, respect, bloodlust, glee in battle, and, if I've been spoilered correctly, also what might have been some genuine care and possibly grief. Given fanfic, it's not that hard to imagine something shifting just enough in the heat of battle and bloodlust becoming lust-lust for one particularly intense encounter, and on a longer term basis respect/grief/admiration/hate/passion are not so far from a kind of love, in a way. The kind of love where you fight with all your heart to kill someone and then mourn their loss once you have, but still.

Passion is passion. It didn't look like that far of a leap to me.

I guess I just see things differently.

Fair enough. If it's not your ship it's not your ship.

NAYRT

Just chiming in to say I'm another person who literally does not get this shit either. Most real rival ships require a level of suspending your disbelief that I just do not have in me. One of my fandoms involves a pair of rivals who respect each other, but ultimately want to kill one another. One half of the pair even almost succeeded before being stopped by his life partner companion. While the one guy and his tactician are the biggest ship (and basically only because it's pretty impossible to ignore their whole "WE'RE A PART OF ONE ANOTHER" thing), there's a ton of stuff for the rival pairing too and honestly I don't get what is hot about a guy who literally wants behead the other guy, even if they do respect one another and occasionally work towards fighting "the big bad" together. Then there's another pairing where the one guy just legit hates the other dude with every fiber of his being. Of course that's super popular too.

I find it so strange to see fluffywoobie BS fics about either pairing. I understand that YKINMK and I ship and let ship, but it's just so alien to me.
