Katara/Zuko. I normally go for the "best friends" ship, so I am really tickled that the only anomaly to that (and the only time I've ever shipped enemies) transformed into a partnership based on deep friendship and mutual respect. And I'm ALWAYS a sucker for that!
2. Canon Ship:
Sokka/Suki. They just kept getting cuter and cuter every time they were on screen together.
3. "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
Kanna/Pakku, but it happened anyway. Mai/Zuko, but it happened anyway. Katara/Aang, but it happened anyway. And, truthfully, I have trouble seeing Aang with ANYONE without reaching for a spork, not just Katara.
4. "You are one sick bastard" Ship:
Off the top of my head... Azula/Aang and/or Azula/Zuko
5. "I dabble a little" Ship:
I honestly don't mind the idea of Iroh/Ursa.
6. "It's like a car crash" Ship:
How about ANYTHING cannon? (With the sole exception of Sokka/Suki.)
7. "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
While Toph/Sokka gives me the creeps as surely as Katara/Aang, I sort of like the idea of Adult!Toph/Adult!Sokka. It's taken me a while to warm up to it.
8. "Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
Iroh/Kanna. Yeah... I don't really anything more to say about that.
9. "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
Well, depending on who you talk to, any of the ships I've mentioned that I dislike, but the most innocuous is Toph/Aang. I don't object to it, I just don't really see it working.
Moving on... I took a peak at your answers for Harry Potter and I have a feeling you're not going to like mine...
Harry Potter
1. One True Pairing Ship:
I'll admit I'm a Harry/Hermione shipper, they are a classic example of my favorite kind of ship... but the fandom (both pro- and anti-) sure make it hard! Also, Ron/Luna, to a slightly lesser extent.
2. Canon Ship:
James/Lily, even though Rowling never bothered to spend time developing it and Tonk/Lupin, whose pairing surprised thw hell out of me, but delighted me to no end. (I had honestly thought during Book 5 that the two of them might actually be cute together, but figured that Rowling wasn't heading there because of their age difference.) That said, Book 7 was a MASSIVE disappointment in terms of that pairings characterization, in addition to be ridiculously heartbreaking.
3. "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
Sigh... both Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny, but I knew it was coming whether I wanted it to or not.
4. "You are one sick bastard" Ship:
There are WAY too many to choose from. I don't even know where to start.
5. "I dabble a little" Ship:
Harry/Luna. I could have probably dealt with Ron/Hermione a little easier if I had Harry/Luna to distract me.
6. "It's like a car crash" Ship:
Harry/Ginny. Relationships based on hero-worship squiggs me out almost as much as relationships with maternal (or paternal) overtones mixed in.
7. "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
Hermione/Fred or Hermione/George. Why that works for me and Ron/Hermione doesn't, I'll never know.
8. "Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
Well, I once wrote a Draco/Myrtle crack!fic that worked surprisingly well.
9. "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
