The two main ships I've had that became canon, after years of genuinely thinking they might never become canon, were Grissom/Sara, and Scully/Mulder.

Scully/Mulder is one of the dearest pairings to my heart, to this day, but oh boy. They are the quintessential example of what happens when the writers don't know how to write the leads together, and probably don't even really understand why people want them together in the first place, but cave to the pressure and try to write it anyway.

Grissom/Sara...meh. I'm not sure if I'd say the way their relationship was written was bad. But the way the show started going in for more interpersonal character drama around that point wasn't a positive thing, and Grissom and Sara getting together ended up feeling like at least a partial cause of the show beginning its long decline into irrelevance.

And then there's Booth/Brennan. It was obvious they were endgame from the start, but ugh. IMO anything good about that show began to wither right around the time the writers started to get serious about R-ing Booth and Brennan's UST.


The flipside, I suppose, is pairings like Leslie Knope/Ben Wyatt, Amy Santiago/Jake Peralta, Jim Halpert/Pam Beasly (though I drifted away from The Office around S6), who continue to be believable, sweet, and well written after they get together.
