that does nothing for me

Yup, me either.

I totally understand. If it's a rare pairing that makes it even more frustrating. :(

For me the later the side-pairings appear the more annoying. If there's proper build up then it isn't always so hard to accept (even if I'm not into the pairing), but if not? Ho boy do I hate it.

I wish more pairings were listed in the tags, but I suppose some authors don't always know what direction they want the story to take so it isn't always possible.
