My first rarepair was Glenn/Cyrus from this SNES JRPG called Chrono Trigger. Glenn is a playable main character and he gets an entire chapter explaining how he got his current form (a frog's) because he was weeping on Cyrus' body after he was killed by a villain instead of running away like Cyrus asked him to. Cyrus was a "big brother" figure to him, "my mentor" "my only friend" "the person who inspires me" and protected him and all that. I was pissed off when I realized there were more fics involving Glenn and said villain than Cyrus. WTF. The game gives us an entire Glenn-loved-Cyrus(-as-a-friend,-sure)-focused chapter AND time-traveling shenanigans for what? 1 one-sided fic on FF.net, 1 4-line drabble on AO3 was all we had until 2019. The people who wrote the three fics they got since 2019: heroes

My current rarepair is annoying me to bits, Jebrael/Tirzad from Genshin Impact - so if you ever see a madman preaching about it, ntmy. I thought it was so obvious I stopped screencapping their bickering halfway into the quest because I was 100% sure someone else would have done it before me since I was almost a year late. The hottest hunk in Genshin so far and the Akademiya twink he travels with? Who happens to be a relative of the Love Of His Life (also an academic he traveled with)? And also questions if his daughter was a "result" of their research ("you know other men")? Yes, everyone hates Tirzad, but a total of 0 fic or art is still less than I expected. I'm probably not going to be the one to write it, just wanted to complain.

Now for an amusing story in which I was the hero. I got into a popular shounen in the early 2010s and felt a little "hMmMmMmM" about this rarepair. Wrote very low-stakes fluff. To this day I get comments on it because even now this ship only has 4 fics on AO3.

Anyway, please share your stories and make me feel like I am not alone.

I didn't play Chrono Trigger until the DS rerelease, but I LOVED the Glenn/Cyrus backstory and shipped it so hard. Never looked at the fandom for the game, though.

Oooooh thanks for making me feel less alone!! Once in a while I check if there are any new fanworks and (was super happy to find out there were a couple in the past few years, but usually) get surprised that people still don't see it.
