What rare/uncommon pairings do you ship?

Unrequited Bernard/Annie Hacker from Yes Primeminister.

Anyone with Stiles who isn't Derek. :( Peter/Stiles has become a bit more popular thankfully.
Anyone with Steve who isn't Bucky or Tony. I was hoping all the interaction in AOU would give me some more Steve/Thor but nope.

Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson with all my little gay heart. I know it's a fairly common pairing to mention but the (Stucky-less, especially) fic is......slim pickins

Grey Worm/Missandei (even though they're actually canon , but there's not much out there which makes me sad).

There's like 15 fics (and that includes those where they're a background pairing).

I've never looked it up, but Gandalf/Galadriel is up there on my "ship it a lot but not at all interested in any of the normal fanfic tropes" list. Like, I would not be the TINIEST bit interested in what fanfic shippy stories are usually about - getting together etc. But I would be up for vague emotional infidelity, pining without having any true desire to be together, etc.

Kocoum/Thomas. Because when one secondary character murders another secondary character in a twenty year old lackluster Disney movie, I apparently must write fanfic about it. Fuck me.

Europa/Leda. Zeus' victims need a support group.

Charlotte LeBouf/Kuzco. Disney crossover ftw. She's too good for a prince. She deserves an emperor.

Sid/Suzy. Rare because the Father Brown fandom is apparently dominated by the Detective Sullivan/Sid pairing. All 17 fics of it. -.-

Eren/Erwin from Attack on Titan. I mean, I get why it's a lot less common than Eren/Levi, Eren/Jean, etc...but it still bugs the hell out of me that out of the 276 fics under their AO3 tag, a whopping 170 of them are also tagged with Eren/Levi (which is usually the endgame pairing in the fic more often than not. Either that or it's a threesome fic and I'm not really into Eren/Levi/Erwin).

Sam/Natasha is my fave Natasha ship and outside of OT4 fic(which I don't ship) there isn't much.

Comic Sam/Bucky is another ship of mine but it's pretty slim pickings.

Shatterstar/Rictor shares this fate as well, though I think they might have slightly more than the above ship.

I always mention this one but Kat/Vergil from the DMC reboot game, it bit me hard and there is very little fic for them.

Oh and Beckett/Lanie, I like it but it has like 3 fics maybe.

Rare pairs are my jam.

Sokka/Piandao - I really like seeing how people without bending can hold their own, and I really liked the respect Sokka earns from Piandao. Also, I have a mentor/mentee kink. I wish there was more fic for these two.

Elinor Dashwood/Colonel Brandon - They're temperaments seem to match better than Brandon and Marianne's. I didn't mind Elinor/Edward, but I just felt like these two would've ended up being happier together.

Sisko/Bashir - I just liked how they interacted together on screen. Plus, they were my favorite characters. (Same for Dresden/Morgan from the TV series). I only found one fic for them though.

Hotch/Anderson - Plays into my power imbalance kink. Hotch is my favorite character, and Anderson is fun. I just like when they interact.

Hm. Hotch/Anderson has me a bit intrigued. There should be more stories about Anderson in general, either in terms of shipping or just involving his character in general situations.

On the note of that show, I sometimes like looking up stories involving Elle being paired with another team member. Particularly Reid or Morgan-she always had an entertaining chemistry with Morgan and I could've seen them having an interesting relationship, and her dynamic with Reid always really intrigued me. I think they were a good "opposites attract" sort of possibility in some ways.

(Don't know which female team member I could see her with if we wanted to go the femslash route, but if there's good stories of that sort with her, I'd check them out, too.)

Sadly, the fact she's been gone so long from the show makes it hard to find a lot of fics involving her being paired with another team member, but it's nice when I do come across them.

I actually shipped Elinor/Brandon in the 1995 adaptation with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman, which wasn't something I'd expected going into the movie. Since then I've been thinking about them in general as well. They do suit each other better.

Sam/Death, Sam/Michael, Michael/Dean from supernatural

Bobby/Scott, Bobby/Warren from xmen

I've never considered either pairing, but I find the notion of either Lucifer-in-Sam's-body/Dean or Michael-in-Dean's-body/Sam to be oddly hot in the wrongbad way.

Ben/Locke from Lost, the one pretty much everybody saw but very few of us read and wrote (write) about. Miles/Waylon from Outlast, which has a lot more potential than the juggernaut but is vastly overshadowed by it, plus Waylon/Lisa, which I have my doubts about post-ending but is most often blown off completely despite being pretty important to his story, and maybe a little Miles/Waylon/Lisa for good measure. Will Graham/lasting happiness and security, the rarest pair of all.

Emma Swan from Once Upon a Time/Abbie Mills from Sleepy Hollow

Gil Grissom/Warrick Brown (CSI and yes I know one's dead and one's married, but as far as I'm concerned, CSI ends about 10 minutes before the end of S6.)
Bobby Goren/Mike Logan L&O: Criminal Intent. They had maybe 3 or 4 eps together.
Mike Logan/Ben Stone L&O
Bob Tate/Paul Valera, Thief Takers (UK show--Valera was a one off guest character).
Chistopher LaSalle/Victor Ortega (another one off guest character....)
Raymond Reddington/Dembe Zuma The Blacklist

Max/Original Cindy from 'Dark Angel.' I don't even know why it was rare, man. It should've been huge.

Mike Nelson/Pearl Forrester from MST3K. Don't ask me why, because I'm not entirely certain.

Nyssa/Tegan

Just some I have struggled with lately:

Jurassic Park ships: Ian/Alan, Alan/Billy, Owen/Barry

Maaaany Marvel comics ships: the more movies/shows they make (which is great) the less I can find fic for comics. Latest one: goodbye comics Daredevil/Punisher.
