I feel exactly the same way about some pairings I like. I just don't get why people feel the need to change the characters involved for the sake of a pairing. For me, I feel like the canon material provides the chemistry and subtext, and fandom expands on it in a way we don't get a chance to see in-canon.

With pairings that aren't canon, at any rate.

Exactly! I mean, I ship a lot of things (femslash, dudeslash, and het alike) but so often, it's like people are trying to make a pairing mould and fit everyone into it, which completely ignores the unique aspects of shipping two characters rather than two other characters. It's enough to make a someone a lurker, you know.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!

All of my ships have the "two screwed up peas in one fucked up pod" aspect, and in only one -- ONE! -- does the prevailing fanon recognize that these are two very screwed-up people who would not have a typical anything in their relationship.

All the rest? It's like reading a romcom with the characters' faces in it and-- GRRR. Finding good fic/meta is like searching for a needle in an opium den.
