Well, yeah. You're romantically pairing characters whose only emotion for each other in the show was hatred at worst, indifference at best. How could you write them romantic and in character?

[lunabee34]

The same way Snape and Harry get paired or Harry and Draco get paired.

Spander doesn't really make any sense at all within the context of canon, but it's fun when a writer can make a pairing like that make sense.

I guess I don't see either of those pairings working well either. (Maybe Harry and Draco, further down the line after Draco's realized what dumb ideas his dad had, maybe.) And I guess if you can figure out how to do it in character....but I don't see it being done well in character at all.

[lunabee34]

I didn't see either of those in canon either. IDK how the fannish zeitgeist glommed on. And I freely admit that a lot of times fics for those pairings are not in character, but it is totally possible. And when it happens, it is glorious. Although, I will admit that I tend to enjoy a lot of fics for those pairings in particular that *aren't* exactly quite in character either.

Couldn't you say the same about Buffy and Spike?

I mean, before they started their relationship and, well, kind of during. I don't think enmity precludes sex.

And fandom seems to be all about the enemies getting together. I've seen it in every fandom I've been in. The two characters who are the most antagonist will almost invariably be the biggest ship, het or slash. (Femslash doesn't seem to work quite the same way IMHO)

ayrt

I am very much a fan of antagonistic relationships myself. I like a clash of personalities/attitudes/ideals, up to a certain point, anyway. And, yeah, it does seem like antagonistic ships often get a lot of attention.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet somehow Spike x Buffy ended up canon.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like how Xander/Cordelia started off.
