I think a lot of my tastes in hero/villain ships were sort of shaped by my earliest ones.

So I like things along the Magneto/Professor X model, where both parties hold deep abiding care and admiration for each other personally but will never, ever agree on ideologies, goals or methods. They're on opposites sides for a reason and it takes drastic crises for them to be able to join together, and being taken outside their normal surroundings altogether to have something close to peace. I guess I like hero/villain ships with a touch of tragedy.

Or, I like things along the lines of Doctor/Master, where the entire relationship is an unending ball of spoiled friendship and gleeful enjoyment and bitter hatred and a weird willingness to die for each other and a less-weird-but-more-unfortunate willingness to kill each other very dead should circumstances dictate. That sort of, 'I will thwart you at every turn and fight you with everything I have and up and kill you if I have to or am feeling particularly hateful this evening, but woe betide anyone who touches you but me', sort of thing. Again, more on the tragic end, given that unless the pair in question are immortal it usually ends in death.

I actually don't tend to like either end of the 'swaying the enemy to my side' spectrum as much, I think. I suspect a lot of what I like in hero/villain ships is the element of pride and opposition, and I'm not as fond of it when one side or other 'bends' in the end. Joint causes and gradual softening to something approaching co-existence I'm okay with, but one side or other 'winning' isn't really what I'm here for.

OP

That's fair enough, and also really interesting. I think it might be the same for me. A lot of what I describe in the secret harkens back to when I shipped Buffy/Spike.

Our early ships do shape us quite a bit, it would seem :)

Yeah, that's what I like, too. I do like temporary swaying to the opposite side, or teaming up to achieve a mutual goal while arguing about methods. Killmonger/T'Challa is great for that just like Professor X/Magneto, but I don't want either person to be 100% in the right.
