I seem to have a thing for shipping pairings in which one half of the pairing is already with someone else in canon. I know one big reason why that sort of setup appeals to me, because of the whole "unrequited love" thing.

The problem is, however, that anytime the show, or fanfic writers (ESPECIALLY fanfic writers), DO put my favorite pairing together, so often the canon love interest winds up being abusive or just a generally bad-tempered person, thus giving their significant other a justifiable reason to dump them and run to the person I ship them with instead. Either that, or my pairing will have an affair (this solution is generally just a fanfic thing, though, thankfully) or the canon love interest gets killed off.

Obviously I don't condone affairs, nor do I like it when one part of a love triangle is made to be a jerk in fanfic when they're clearly not that way in canon (and if the canon love interest is written as a jerk in canon itself, or killed off, I think it's a cheap and easy out to avoid actually dealing with the struggles a love triangle would bring).

And yet, I still keep liking pairings where one half is with someone in canon anyway. Go figure.
