Sigh. I feel like the relationship between Sandor and Sansa has been reduced to half the fandom(or the shippers) arguing that Sandor and Sansa have this genuine romantic thing going on, and the other half, who are squicked out by the pairing, arguing that there was nothing between the two, and the canon relationship between the two characters gets completely swept under the rug and ignored. Sandor and Sansa do have a special relationship in the books (although I wouldn't argue it's a romantic one, or a staggeringly important one), in which they're able to see the good in the other, and sympathize with each other, despite being so different from each other. I also think Sansa helped Sandor find a bit more of his human side, while Sandor opened up Sansa's eyes to the fact that goodness can be found in things that are not beautiful
Anyways. The 'Sansan' ship gives me a headache, solely because it's made Sansa/Sandor this over the top thing in fandom

I actually think there's a certain amount of parallel between Sansa and the Hound, and between Jaime and Brienne. Sansa and Jaime both have very specific and personal ideas of what a knight is and what it means to be one. Then there's the introduction of these other type of knight into their lives, who isn't a knight in the official cultural (religiously anointed and sworn) sense, but nonetheless is their protector at a time when they are both in captivity and very vulnerable. And it makes them have to reconsider the function of knighthood. I think Jaime and Brienne's relationship is more important (both to the characters and to the plot), but similar things are going on in both.

I think that kind of reconsideration - seeing things from another angle, from another point of view, usually from the point of view of someone who's less powerful or in some way an outcast, often as a result of undergoing personal misfortune or suffering - is central to a lot of characters, storylines, and relationships in ASOIAF in general.

I definitely agree about this specific comparison, that's really good analysis.

Okay, I can completely agree with that and still vehemently NOT ship them. They both had ultimately positive effects on each other, but in no way, shape, or form should they paired in the long run.
