Ships That Pass in the Night	comment	So you like to ship Bob and Alice. The only problem you have is the fact that Bob and Alice have exchanged little more than a few lines with one another, there seems to be little to no interaction between the two. This is when Ships Pass in the Night. Most of these types of ships are Crack Pairings, but as usual Tropes Are Tools — sometimes fans can dig deep and find decent proof for their beloved ship, or at least persuade the readers that the couple would give each other the time of day. Even without this, a pairing can work if written well enough, but if no transition period is shown, the couple is suddenly Strangled by the Red String. One difference between this and a Crack Pairing is that these types of pairings tend to be treated somewhat seriously, and shippers of them often argue for their potential chemistry... then again, not always. Compare Launcher of a Thousand Ships and Gotta Ship 'Em All, which can be a cause of many of these kinds of pairings. Frequently overlaps with Ship Mates, as taking one member out of their Official Couple can result in them having few obvious choices. If taken to extremes and expanded across totally unrelated franchises, this trope can result in a non-canon Crossover Ship. Trope Namer is a remark made by Donald Hogan in Stand on Zanzibar.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock: Mycroft/Lestrade, as illustrated by this video. It wasn't clear that either of them even knew the other existed until mid-series 2 when Sherlock accused Lestrade of being sent to Baskerville by Mycroft (which Lestrade denied). The ship Moriarty/Moran takes this trope to an extreme — Moriarty was dead before Moran was introduced into the series. Also, the shippers often completely ignore Lord Moran's Sherlock characterisation and turn him into a modern version of Colonel Moran from the Conan Doyle stories.

Again, they haven't said much to each other, but one reporter does refer to them as "Mulder and Scully". Now, we all know what happened there. George Huang and Rafael Barba were a popular ship before ever crossing paths on the show, helped by their shared Ensemble Dark Horse status as well as the fact that Huang is openly gay while Barba has some hints of being Ambiguously Bi.

Even putting aside the questionable age difference (Syndrome was a kid or preteen around the time her parents got married fifteen years ago), the most interaction they have is that he fires a missile on a plane she was on and he traps her along with the rest of her family. He certainly never singles her out.

Out of all of these, Mondo/Mikan has become quite popular thanks to their Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl dynamic and Mikan desperately trying to persuade an obliviously injured Mondo to let him treat her, which he only agrees to do because he doesn't want Mikan to cry.

This became Ascended Fanon during Secret Wars (2015), where he was paired up with Kamala in the Secret Love one-shot. Writer Felipe Smith said the story was partially motivated by how popular the pairing was on Tumblr. The pairing was then torpedoed before leaving the port at the end of the story.

Nowhere is it ever said they met or interacted, though it's entirely possible they did since both attended the Feast of Reuniting. Unlike many Ships That Pass in the Night there's some justification for this pairing since they're both great Elven minstrels (Daeron is canonically the greatest, but don't let Maglor fans hear you say that) and they share an identical fate: Walking the Earth singing laments.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_1f818da5	comment	Channel Awesome: Ask That Guy and Dr. Insano are a popular ship. They have yet to interact onscreen together. Pity, because when one is a Canon Depraved Omnisexual and the other is a Mad Scientist and they're both fiendishly evil, you can imagine they'd hit it off right away. Shipping Ask That Guy with The Nostalgia Chick seems pretty popular. Ask That Guy and The Nostalgia Critic. While it's pretty easy to see Ask That Guy wanting to bang someone who looks exactly like him, the characters have exchanged like five lines of dialogue. But suddenly in fanfic, they're incestuous twins who are ridiculously co-dependent and the Critic is usually Ask That Guy's fuck-and-torture toy. As soon as Dr. Tease's evilness became apparent, people started shipping her with Dr. Insano. Ask That Guy and Malcolm's Devil. While they haven't met, the reason is mostly that it's canon that the former has a sexual relationship with TGWTG's devil, and the devil takes many forms.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_2212773a	comment	There are a fair number of Angel crossovers (probably the majority of them set in season 7/4 in fact) that pair Dawn with Connor, most likely due to their closeness in ages and the fact that technically neither of them should exist (he's the biologically impossible human son of two vampires, she's a ball of ancient mystical energy in human form). After season 7/4, they also share a history of having false memories crafted by monks. The two have yet to meet, even in the comics.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_23945975	comment	Disney Animated Canon: Maleficent/Aurora from Sleeping Beauty is pretty popular, but just from looking at the 1959 movie, you'd likely be puzzled as to why. They never really meet, since Aurora is unconscious or possessed every time she might see Maleficent, and Maleficent never talks to her unless you count a curse as talking. There's also the fact that Maleficent feels nothing but petty hatred for Aurora, but that's a different issue. The 2014 re-imagining Maleficent does a better job of justifying the pairing (since it's all about Maleficent and Aurora interacting) and gave a boost to its popularity, but the fandom was already sizeable before it came out. The Scar/Sarafina (Nala's mom) pairing in The Lion King fandom. The latter is such a minor character that her name isn't even revealed until the credits roll, they are at most in two scenes together (although you have to really search to find her), and never once do they interact, yet after Zira, Sarafina's the most popular character to pair up with Scar. The main reason this pairing exists is to answer who Nala's father is, though some people ship it without Scar being Nala's dad. Though the reasoning doesn't really eliminate the idea that Scar tried to convince Nala to be his queen in deleted scenes, as well as the Broadway production. From The Lion King is Kopa/Vitani. It's one of the most popular ships in the fandom and they're not even in the same continuity together. The ship comes from the concept that Kopa, Simba's cub from a series of books that was replaced when Kiara was introduced in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, was friends with Vitani (though this would probably make Vitani older than she should be if Kopa disappeared before Kiara's birth). It's a popular Toy Ship, and fanworks that don't have Kopa be killed as a cub often have them reunite as adults. It's also the most popular Ship Mate to Kovu/Kiara. A lot of The Princess and the Frog fans seem to ship Charlotte LaBouff and Dr. Facilier, even if they never interacted and Facilier tries to kill Lottie's beloved father. Though it's dwarfed by the popularity of some of the larger ships, there's definitely a following for the Kristelsa (Kristoff/Elsa) ship for Frozen, largely based on Kristoffâ€™s love for ice (he outright says â€œice is my life!â€�) and Elsa being An Ice Person, despite the characters appearing in only three scenes together and not being seen talking to each other. However, Elsa is shown to know who he is towards the film's end when it's revealed she's named him Ice Master and Deliverer of Arendelle, though whether they had offscreen interaction or if Anna told her about him is unknown. Elsa and Honeymaren in Frozen II have a scant few conversations, largely based on exposition rather than anything about each other, but quickly became a popular pairing for fans wanting Elsa to have a female love interest. Among the Rescuers fandom, Penny/Cody is a very popular pairing, even though they are from different movies and never actually meet in canon.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes: Sylar and Heidi make for an interesting ship. They've never been seen to meet in the series, but the ship bears a dubiously canon odor due to two timelines in which Sylar murdered and impersonated Heidi's husband. A lot of fans slash Mohinder Suresh and Adam Monroe, despite having never met. Reasons include Mohinder's status as evil magnet, or the "British connection" stemming from the fanon idea that Mohinder went to boarding school in England... but mainly, the actors are just so freaking pretty. Claude/Sandra is another popular one. We've never seen them onscreen together, but Claude was HRG's partner at the Company and apparently his close friend, and Sandra is/was HRG's wife, so they most likely knew each other. Micah/Molly combines this with Toy Ship. They only met briefly during the Season 1 finale and would not interact again until a later webcomic when Micah is mistaken as a suitor for Molly.

However, they are a relatively popular pairing due to them being the same age and having both attended high-class Atlesian schools; this makes it possible for them to have attended the same school together, which the fan pairing runs with.

Summer Rose is shipped with Qrow Branwen almost, if not more than, her canonical husband Taiyang. While they were both on Team STRQ, Qrow has never so much as mentioned Summer. This likely comes from Qrow's role as The Mentor to Summer's daughter Ruby and Ron the Death Eater towards Taiyang.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter's characters are prone to this: The most popular example might be Draco/Ginny, which was insanely popular for a while and still has a decent-sized following, even though they only spoke twice in seven books, way back in Book 2, when Ginny told him "Leave him alone, he didn't want all that!" and later when Draco made fun of her Valentine to Harry. Though apparently the actors dated in real life. Draco/Ginny is also used as a Beta Couple in Harry/Hermione stories, if the writer isn't feeling vindictive. As is Blaise/Ginny, which has even less canon to stand on as Blaise called Ginny a "filthy blood traitor". Scorpius/Rose (son of Draco and daughter of Ron and Hermione) is surprisingly popular for two characters that only appear in the Distant Epilogue. Then again, they got a bit of Ship Tease (Ron specifically tells Rose NOT to date him), and fans see it as a replacement for their non-canon Draco ships. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would later make it clear that Scorpius likes her, but it's a Contested Sequel and the way that she acts made many fans jump ship for Scorpius/Albus. Sirius Black and Lucius Malfoy didn't exchange a single word in the novels. The sum total of their conversations in the films was "Get away from my godson!" "Black!" There's a pretty solid body of slash devoted to them. After the fourth book introduced Narcissa Malfoy, there was a rash of fics pairing her with Sirius Black for some reason. Then the fifth book revealed that they were cousins. The amount of James Potter/Narcissa "Black" fanfictions (usually set in the past Hogwarts) is surprisingly high considering they were in different years at Hogwarts and never directly interacted with each othernote While post-Hogwarts James and his wife Lily were members of the Order of the Phoenix, Narcissa did not join any faction despite being a purist. Her husband Lucius, however, was a Death Eater.. Their shipping is usually based on Potter and Black arranged betrothal where Narcissa undergoes Defrosting Ice Queen and When She Smiles. May or may not involve Lily, Sirius, and Bellatrix too. There's an incredibly large number of slash fic pairing Percy Weasley and Oliver Wood despite the two having no interaction in canon. They are both Gryffindor boys in the same year so it's probable they do know each other, but what kind of relationship they have (if any) is not part of any book. Though thanks to their opposing archetypes, fans like to think they either have an opposites attract or an enemies-to-lovers dynamic. The controversial fanfic In This World and the Next has a few examples. Oliver Wood winds up dating Penelope Clearwater after Percy turns evil He is kind of a dick to his family until near the end of the series, though the two are in different houses and are unlikely to have known each other outside of being in the same year. But that pairing is downright normal compared to some of the other ones that Harry and Hermione create. In their zeal to ensure that Remus and Tonks wind up together so that Teddy can be born, Sirius Black ends up having some romantic moments with Charity Burbage. Even more ridiculous is that Neville somehow falls for Millicent Bulstrode, and the feeling is mutual. If Peggy Sue were not in full effect, the two would most likely have hated each other's guts, assuming that they had any interactions at all. Sirius/Marlene McKinnon. If that name isn't familiar, she's a Posthumous Character who died in the first war, mentioned a few times in the series but with no real characterization. Making her an O.C. Stand-in to ship with Sirius is ridiculously common, to the point where she's probably his most popular love interest after Remus.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_3b8c7015	comment	American Horror Story: Murder House: There are a surprising number of fanfics for Billie Dean Howard and Nora Montgomery around the internet, even though the two never meet and are only in the same place in a total of one episode. This is actually because the following seasons would have their actresses play very popular ships and so they are included as sort of Ship Mates. Apocalypse didn't help by having Billie Dean reference knowing Nora.

The sum total of their interactions consist of Carlos offering Molly a hand grenade. Though granted Carlos expressed his appreciation of Molly's looks to Harry and goes on about what he'd like to do with her, but Carlos fancies himself a ladies' man and Molly is just that hot. Almost becomes canon when they team up in one of the interquel short stories, only to be brutally sunk by one of the downsides to Molly's mantle of Winter Maiden.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: For a while, Sam/Gabriel was the most popular pairing in the fandom that didn't involve Dean in spite of the hostile nature of their few canon interactions before Gabriel died in season 5, largely because it was a good mirror for the popular Dean/Castiel ship and it avoided the problems that Sam's other popular slash ships had of either being incest, breaking up Dean/Castiel, or pairing him up with the literal Devil. The two of them did get more substantial interactions in season 13, but that occurred long past the peak of the ship's popularity (though there are still Sam/Gabriel shippers around who appreciated the unexpected ship fuel from that season). Charlie/Jo gets more fanworks than Charlie with any of her canon girlfriends even though Jo died well before Charlie first appeared on the show and showed no indication of being into women.

Jason/Kat is fairly popular for Die for Our Ship reasons, despite their only real interaction being an episode where they both are worried about Kat's soon-to-be boyfriend and Jason's Heterosexual Life Partner. Tommy and Taylor only appeared in a single episode of Power Rangers Wild Force together, and despite not sharing any scenes, got really popular after the fandom discovered that the actors appeared together in MTV's Undressed series. Tori/Kira got pretty popular by Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, despite only appearing together in two two-part episodes. And half of those episodes they played antagonists. Pairing either of them up with their Retro Ranger teammates is not uncommon either.

Never mind that they don't meet until the end of Season 2, in a scene that doesn't guarantee that they'll ever see each other again. Other fans ship the Armorer with Paz Vizsla; the two are the only surviving members of the original covert besides the protagonist, so they have at least traded lines once or twice, but none of it was remotely romantic. As of the end of season 3, it's become popular to pair the Armorer with Axe Woves; their interaction has consisted of standing in the same general area and not actively trying to kill each other.

Avaric has one line in the musical — where he is Fiyero's carriage driver (and is sometimes a woman or an Animal). Yet musical fanfics portray him as the arrogant Shiz student he was in the books (who even then didn't have much to do with Elphaba). There's a small base of Glinda/Nessarose shippers. It's popular enough to even have its own ship name: Glessa. The two have nary a line together in either the book or musical (but the books do mention that they're friends, to some degree), but many like the ship mainly for its bittersweet Settle for Sibling overtone.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_50e2e357	comment	Star Trek (2009): In this reboot movie, Sulu and Chekov share all of five lines of dialogue. They are still one of the most popular ships in the fandom, and every once-in-a-blue moon will surpass even slash Trope Namer Kirk/Spock on the Kink Meme for sheer number of stories written. Doubtlessly, the ship is helped along by the characters' interactions in Trek Prime canon, but there is a cornucopia of fic set specifically and solely in the Reboot Universe. Pairing Scotty with Gaila (Kirk's Orion girlfriend) is surprisingly popular. Not only do they share no scenes in the film, but Gaila is quite possibly dead by the time Scotty even arrives on the Enterprise. T'Pura (T'Pring/Uhura) has its fans as well (for both the Prime and Kelvin Timeline versions) despite the fact that in the former they never truly interacted and in the latter T'Pring might actually be dead.

Most fans outside of the shipping fandom don't even know who Erestor is, as he appears in two scenes in the entire novel and has dialogue in only one of them, most of which is simply utilitarian musing on what to do with the Ring. While it's pretty likely that him and Glorfindel know each other, the only line Glorfindel ever has with Erestor is one line where he shoots down Erestor's suggestion. The Silmarillion: Maglor and Daeron. Nowhere is it ever said they met or interacted, though it's entirely possible they did since both attended the Feast of Reuniting. Unlike many Ships That Pass in the Night there's some justification for this pairing since they're both great Elven minstrels (Daeron is canonically the greatest, but don't let Maglor fans hear you say that) and they share an identical fate: Walking the Earth singing laments.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Various kink memes have produced fanfic and shipping of nearly every possible combination of the MCU's huge cast. The most popular ships between characters who don't interact much (or ever) in the MCU are generally ones that have a basis in the comics' canon. Loki/Jane in Thor. Darcy is frequently paired with either Loki or Hawkeye, despite never sharing a single scene with either character. Which is nothing compared to her being frequently shipped with Steve Rogers. In fact, Darcy is probably the epitome of this trope when it comes to the MCU thanks to a combination of her being a Launcher of a Thousand Ships and her only appearing in two movies and a TV show so far, meaning she's never interacted with most of the characters the fandom ships her with. Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, even though the most they did was share a few lines in Thor. Many fics add a backstory of Phil being the one who recruited Clint for SHIELD and drew him away from whatever not-great things the writer had Clint doing pre-SHIELD. Howard Stark and Peggy Carter from Captain America: The First Avenger are frequently shipped as having hooked up afterwards to sire Tony Stark. Though they do share the screen a few times, they are usually in group scenes and they share TWO lines of dialogue set about twenty minutes apart and in different countries. (They are friends, though — Peggy is the one who introduces Howard to Steve as 'the best civilian pilot she knows' and Steve thought they were fondue-ing for a good portion of the movie.) The Winter Soldier/Natasha. Granted, they were a couple in the comics, but as of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, all their interactions amount to one of them trying to kill the other on multiple occasions. Another pairing that's grown in popularity alongside Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes is Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark, even though the Winter Soldier killed Tony's parents and is the element that made the conflict between Steve and Tony in Captain America: Civil War so explosive. A large number of Fix Fics and other fanworks sprang up in response to both Civil War that wished Tony would look at the situation more rationally and see that Bucky was Brainwashed and Crazy at the time, and that Bucky holds absolutely gutwrenching guilt over everything he was forced to do, even though it wasn't his fault.

Bucky Barnes is also sometimes paired with Clint Barton despite the two never interacting even once or acknowledging the other's existence, because the two are both snipers, and they've both survived brainwashing and have been dismissed as volatile and untrustworthy as a result. Additionally, when they team up in the comics, they have a fun, vitriol-loaded dynamic. Ant-Man and Star-Lord are very frequently paired together in East Asian fandom, likely due to the similarities between their masks and the fact that both protagonists are played by actors more famous for comedies. Peter Parker and Harley Keener are often paired together since both are Tony's proteges, despite the fact that they don't even appear in the same movie until Avengers: Endgame. Tony Stark and Doctor Strange, thanks to both going through similar Character Development in their first films from insufferable Awesome Ego to a hero willing to sacrifice their life for a good cause. Plus, Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch have both played Sherlock Holmes, half of one of the earliest popular gay ships. Ultimately, the trope was subverted in Avengers: Infinity War, where they spend a significant amount of the film's runtime working together. Despite having no screentime together, Shuri/Peter Parker is very popular, thanks to both of them being Teen Geniuses with a shared love of pop culture and technology. Wanda, Loki, and Dr. Strange are frequently shipped together due to their shared affinity for magic, even though they've otherwise never interacted with each other. The news that Wanda will play a major role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness adds fuel to the ScarletStrange ship, even though the events of the actual film have them become enemies instead. After the release of Captain Marvel (2019), some people started to ship Carol with Valkyrie, despite no indication of either woman being even aware of the other's existence until the final battle in Avengers: Endgame. This one actually has the support of the actors themselves. Although Taika Waititi has urged caution — not because he's actually opposed to the idea, but he doesn't approve of letting fan enthusiasm dictate the plot. The release of The Marvels (2023) has given it something of a boost, as Valkyrie turns out to be the "friend" Carol calls in to look after a group of Skrull refugees, and gives her an affectionate kiss on the cheek as they part ways.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_6a5fb6b8	comment	From The Lion King is Kopa/Vitani. It's one of the most popular ships in the fandom and they're not even in the same continuity together. The ship comes from the concept that Kopa, Simba's cub from a series of books that was replaced when Kiara was introduced in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, was friends with Vitani (though this would probably make Vitani older than she should be if Kopa disappeared before Kiara's birth). It's a popular Toy Ship, and fanworks that don't have Kopa be killed as a cub often have them reunite as adults. It's also the most popular Ship Mate to Kovu/Kiara.

Most fans outside of the shipping fandom don't even know who Erestor is, as he appears in two scenes in the entire novel and has dialogue in only one of them, most of which is simply utilitarian musing on what to do with the Ring. While it's pretty likely that him and Glorfindel know each other, the only line Glorfindel ever has with Erestor is one line where he shoots down Erestor's suggestion.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek Star Trek: Voyager fandom once had a large sect interested in pairing up minor crew members Joseph Carey and Samantha Wildman, though he only appeared in the first season (and then in a time-traveling fifth season episode) and she wasn't introduced until the second. Though in a crew of about one hundred and fifty people spending several years on the wrong side of the galaxy, it's not unreasonable to assume that everyone has at least met each other. It was a great disappointment to them when Carey was killed in the last season. Captain Janeway/Dr. Crusher slash fics are surprisingly common despite the characters having never met in canon. Even when Janeway appeared in the TNG movie Nemesis. A small fanbase existed for a time for a pairing of Tom Paris and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Julian Bashir, despite the two never meeting on screen. They could plausibly have met during Voyager's layover at Deep Space Nine in 'Caretaker'. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has a small but devoted fanbase for Jake Sisko/Tora Ziyal, who never interact on-screen, due to fans liking the idea of young lovers fighting to be together despite outside pressure, and the fact that the guy Ziyal canonically hooks up with is one half of an extremely popular slash pairing (as well as being widely considered to be too old and too sleazy to date such a young woman). Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has this as an in-universe plot point. M'Benga's daughter Rukiya ships two characters from her favorite book who never interact in the story. So when M'Benga finds himself stuck living out the story and these characters meet and imply a romantic relationship he realizes the story's being drawn from her mind rather than his.

Sebastian gets this, despite not being on the show much. He's often paired with Karofsky, whom he interacted on screen with for five seconds. Sometimes he's paired with Adam, even though they live in different cities and were on the show during different seasons. There is a long-running fanfic that features Puck and Marley as one of the main couples, even though they never interacted on the show.

The latter is such a minor character that her name isn't even revealed until the credits roll, they are at most in two scenes together (although you have to really search to find her), and never once do they interact, yet after Zira, Sarafina's the most popular character to pair up with Scar. The main reason this pairing exists is to answer who Nala's father is, though some people ship it without Scar being Nala's dad. Though the reasoning doesn't really eliminate the idea that Scar tried to convince Nala to be his queen in deleted scenes, as well as the Broadway production.

Kyoko Kirigiri and Celestia Ludenburg are a very popular ship, despite having little to no interaction with each other, the ship is mostly fuelled by the fact that theyâ€™re the more cynical and closed-off females of the group, and many fans believe that it helps them play off of each other Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: The pairing of Nagito Komaeda and Mikan Tsumiki is surprisingly popular. Their only noteworthy interaction was Nagito outing Mikan as the killer in the Chapter 3 trial, yet fans have elevated this ship to being the Beta Couple to Hajime and Chiaki. Still a niche rare pair, but Kazuichi Souda and Mahiru Koizumi are sometimes shipped together, despite the small screen time they share, they both share pasts involving a poor childhood and a less than ideal father, and many of their fanfics involve Mahiru trying to help Kazuichi become a â€œproper maleâ€�, funnily enough, this was actually supposed to be a Canon Ship but it was scrapped during development, and they ended up killing off Mahiru to make case 2 shorter and to tie it in with the Twilight Murder case.

The third game, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony opens up the Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus mode, where Everybody Lives and characters from different games interact with one another.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_972de37b	comment	Fans of Alice, Girl from the Future usually stick to solid Childhood Friend Romance ships for Alice and canon-couple shipping for adults, but The City Without Memory provides characters who are, it seems, too charismatic to resist. Boar is a One-Scene Wonder Gentle Giant, whose part in the plot is to buy Iria, Squirrel, and the pygmies at the slave market, be nice to them, and get killed on the same night. Iria Gai is Happily Married, has a daughter, and in this novel, she's out to rescue her husband. In fanfics, when Boar appears at all, he and Iria are shown in a passionate love affair (as a rule, with Iria having lost her memory, to avoid portraying her as a cheat). Left Mole is a violent forest bandit who loves his brother, his mother, and his unicorn, and has moments of Pragmatic Villainy and Pet the Dog, which contributes to his and his brother's Heelâ€“Face Turn in the epilogue. He is sometimes shipped with Alice. She's twelve and he's at the very least eighteen (more likely, in his twenties), the only woman he is seen to pursue romantically is Iria, and Alice's view of him doesn't even hint at a Precocious Crush, let alone anything stronger. From another book, The Voyage of Alice, there is the Third Captain, who appears in person in the grand total of four chapters and hardly even says anything because he has been tortured for four years and just barely survives. Even his name isn't given, and he is a native of Fiks with three legs and six arms. He is also shipped with Alice, although she is nine at the time of the plot and he never appears or even gets a mention in any of the later books. She does save his life, however, during those four chapters.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen is probably one of the most popular ships in the series, despite living on different continents and that the former has taken a vow of celibacy. It helps that they're probably the closest that the series has to protagonists, and may well be the "Ice" and "Fire" referred to in the title. The Robb Stark/Daenerys ship, since Robb can replace Jon in most fields, though without the obvious baggage that the R+L=J theory brings. Robb/Myrcella also get paired up — often as a Beta Couple in stories focused on his siblings — despite having little interaction and that their families are archenemies. Arya Stark and Edric Dayne have met once, in a scene that exists mainly to complicate Jon's origin story, but there is a sizable body of fanfiction devoted to their relationship. (Although the pairing is most commonly used with Edric as a Romantic False Lead in Arya/Gendry stories). Edric is sometimes shipped with her older sister Sansa as well, and they've never met. Aegon Targaryen is shipped variously with Dany, Sansa Stark, Arianne Martell, or even Arya Stark or Margaery Tyrell, despite having met none of them. Sansa Stark/Harrold Hardyng is probably the leading Sansa pairing after Sansa/Sandor Clegane, despite how not only has Sansa not met Harry, neither have the readers. They are betrothed, however (under Sansa's assumed name "Alayne Stone"), and a marriage with Harry would give Sansa control of the Vale of Arryn and a very good chance of reclaiming the North. Eventually they meet. Despite being handsome, Harry is quite the Jerk Jock and he's at first less than thrilled about being betrothed to bastard-born "Alayne". After a rocky start, Sansa manages to manipulate him into fancying her. Sansa Stark/Jaime Lannister seems to be pretty popular even though the two have barely ever even seen each other, let alone had any interaction, and Jaime's most romantic interactions seem to have been with Cersei and Brienne. Sansa/Willas Tyrell is another case, with the pair having been raised at opposite ends of Westeros and Willas not even appearing in person yet. However, the Tyrells did try to betroth them at one point and Willas is implied to be the kind of man Ned would have found for Sansa, before everything not turned to hell. note Ned intended to find someone "strong and gentle" for her and Willas's reputation as a rare kind and intellectual lord suggests his character would have been an excellent match for the previously naive and romantic Sansa. An increasingly popular ship is Elia Martell/Arthur Dayne, despite having being both dead before the beginning of the saga and never noted to be particularly close, aside from being respectively Rhaegar's wife and best friend and both Dornish. The detractors of this ship see it as an easy excuse for Rhaegar cheating on Elia and running off with Lyanna. Sansa is also often ship with Stannis Baratheon. He's twenty years older than her and the closest the two have ever come to meeting is him besieging a city she was in. The shippers think she would appreciate his unbending righteousness and him her gentle and pleasant nature. Sansa has a following that pairs her with Jon. It's not quite as outlandish as some of the other Sansa pairings listed above; they're both Stark children who lived in the same household for years (and its shippers tend to subscribe to the R+L=J theory, which would make him her cousin instead of her half-brother), and their character arcs are easy to see as narrative Foils (he's a bastard who goes to the north and becomes a lord; she is a trueborn lord's daughter who goes to the south and becomes known as a bastard). Their on-page interactions are virtually nonexistent, though, and the most mentioned is that Jon recalls Sansa once told him how to speak to a girl and Sansa wishes at one point to see him again.

Although they see each other all of three times, never saying a word to each other, a handful of strategically-timed back-to-back shots of them, a moment where they actually stand next to each other, a significant notice by Enjolras of her entrance into the cafe, and the shot of him shedding a tear as she dies seem to have given the fan enough material for it to become one of the biggest ships in the fandom.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_b8e28f2e	comment	Good Omens (2019): Gabriel/Beelzebub has become the most popular non-Aziraphale/Crowley pairing in the fandom despite the two of them sharing only one scene in the show. Though granted, their conversation in that scene implied that the two of them were on more cordial terms than you'd expect of an archangel and the Prince of Hell and it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that they've also interacted at other times in the past about the Apocalypse. Adam/Warlock has gotten a fair number of fics in spite of the two of them never interacting in canon (and Warlock not appearing again after the first episode). This can be attributed to several fans thinking that a possible meeting between the Switched at Birth Antichrist who was raised as an ordinary human boy and the ordinary human boy who was raised as the Antichrist has too much potential not to explore and it not being entirely unreasonable that the two of them might cross paths one day due to Aziraphale and Crowley both being familiar with them.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_cd63e81d	comment	The Ace Attorney fandom has quite a few. One that sticks out is Mike Meekins and Maggey Byrde, while on the villainous side we have Dahlia Hawthorne and Kristoph Gavin. Another villainous one is Dahlia Hawthorne and Matt Engarde. Maya/Franziska is astoundingly popular given how little the two actually interact. While the two have interacted a few times during the trilogy, the majority of their interactions are brief and minuscule for the most part and their relationship isn't suggested to be much more than acquaintances at best. However, many fans find the two to make for great Foils to each other, given their contrasting personalities, on top of sharing a similar background of being young girls who are burdened with their families' complicated legacies and the high expectations that come with it. It helps that they make perfect Ship Mates with the extremely popular Phoenix x Edgeworth ship, on top of being two of the most prominent reoccurring female characters in the trilogy. While Dahlia/Matt appears to have been brought about mainly because of their similar dispositions, the other two pairings do have a significant degree of plausibility on their side. Mike and Maggey both served under the police department in 2017 before Maggey was taken off the force (although Maggey was already seeing Dustin Prince prior to his death). Meanwhile, Dahlia and Kristoph are around the same age (or would have been if Dahlia didn't end up getting the death penalty slapped on her for committing murder) and Dahlia is known to have resided in Germany for a time, right around when Kristoph would have been attending university classes, an assumption this fic runs with. Apollo Justice has Wocky Kitalki and Vera Misham, based mostly on their opposing attitudes (Wocky being a Keet gangsta-wannabe while Vera is a Shrinking Violet shut-in), both being clients of Apollo, and probably being in the hospital at roughly the same time ( Wocky to get the bullet in his chest removed, and Vera because of her atroquinine poisoning). Another would be Sebastian Debeste/Hugh O'Conner. It mostly stems from the fact that the two have a lot of similarities (specifically having a family member who's been bribing Themis Legal Academy's staff to get them good grades) and the fact that the two like would likely be around the same age if Sebastian actually appeared in any post-Time Skip game. Simon Blackquill/Nahyuta Sadhmadhi is a very popular ship for two characters who only interact in one case, and it isn't a particularly positive interaction either (Nahyuta goads Athena into a nervous breakdown and Simon shows up to co-counsel and snap her out of it), but their contrasting natures (Nahyuta was specifically designed as a Contrasting Sequel Antagonist to Simon, being the 'holy prosecutor' to Simon's 'convict prosecutor') and similar backstories of taking a murder charge to protect a younger sister and having to pretend to be a villain have made fans interested. Ini Miney/April May. The two are both one-shot characters who are shipped largely on the basis that they're around the same age and would be in prison at about the same time, plus both being ditzy girls who hide a mean streak that only comes out when you aggravate them in court.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_d31cdea	comment	The Hunger Games: Within the fandom (particularly with Katniss/Peeta shippers), it's popular to pair Gale with either Madge or Johanna. Although Johanna does (probably in jest) flirt with Gale, it's the only time they're seen together, and he and Madge are also only seen together once by the reader, where he's not half as friendly to her as she is to him. Gale/Madge stems from Katniss jealously wondering if there is more between them than she knows after Madge runs through a snowstorm to bring Gale medicine and Haymitch channels the conclusions their shippers drew from the incident. Gale/Johanna seems to be mostly about similarities in their personalities. Cato/Clove. They're often seen together, but only as "the District 2 tributes" or as part of the Careers. Admittedly they're from the same district, but the only hint that they're anything more than pragmatic teammates is Cato's uncharacteristically emotional reaction to Clove's death. Peeta/Cato or Peetato. Though not overly popular, and only sharing a handful of scenes, they still have a pretty decent following. This may be equal parts due to chemistry between their actors in the film, Cato nicknaming him 'Lover Boy' and the somewhat rocky nature of their alliance. Cue the rough sex. Haymitch/Cinna also has a small following, despite the fact that they hardly ever even speak to each other. There's a lot of angst involved.

This is despite the fact that Ruby and Regina have only really interacted a couple of times in the show and never without the other characters present. It certainly helps that Ruby is canonically bisexual and that both are also often shipped with Emma (which leads to the popular One True Threesome pairing of Emma/Ruby/Regina). Red Riding Hood and Archie. In the show's nearly two seasons, they have spoken directly to each other in only one scene, where Archie is ordering something from Red in the diner where she works. Regardless, the pairing has quite a following. The Mad Hatter and Captain Hook, who have never interacted and were only briefly on the same plane of existence. Elsa has been shipped with Killian's big brother, Liam. Even though they have interacted with the same characters, they have never had a face-to-face encounter. An unusual example with Detective Weaver and Lacey, who are alter egos of Official Couple Rumplestiltskin and Belle. However, these particular two personas aren't even in existence at the same time: Lacey only has a brief appearance in the second season, and Detective Weaver appears under a different curse in a different place in the seventh season (at which point Belle has already died). Nevertheless, the "Woven Lace" pairing is pretty popular.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_e0a3520f	comment	Wednesday: Yoko and Bianca never directly interact on the show but it is fairly popular in the fandom to pair them together. This mainly started due to the two being pretty good Ship Mates with the Fan-Preferred Couple Wednesday/Enid. Xavier and Ajax barely have a few scenes together and they never interact directly on the show due to more focus being given to their relationships with their love interests. However, the couple became popular thanks to the fact that fans prefer to get Wednesday and Enid together but do not want to leave the boys alone, making them Ship Mates.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_e4732abc	comment	For Stargate Atlantis, there's a decent number of fics pairing together Evan Lorne and Laura Cadman, despite the latter only appearing twice (and spending hardly any time in her own body in the first instance) and being canonically involved with Dr. Beckett. And they never actually meet on-screen (although with the size of the Atlantis expedition, it's more likely than not that they are at least aware of each other)

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_ec2c627b	comment	In Sing, the most popular pairing is by far Ash/Johnny. In the actual movie, Johnny and Ash don't exchange a single line of dialogue. The most that happens is, after the scene where the theater floods, Johnny helps Ash up from the ground. In the background.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager fandom once had a large sect interested in pairing up minor crew members Joseph Carey and Samantha Wildman, though he only appeared in the first season (and then in a time-traveling fifth season episode) and she wasn't introduced until the second. Though in a crew of about one hundred and fifty people spending several years on the wrong side of the galaxy, it's not unreasonable to assume that everyone has at least met each other. It was a great disappointment to them when Carey was killed in the last season. Captain Janeway/Dr. Crusher slash fics are surprisingly common despite the characters having never met in canon. Even when Janeway appeared in the TNG movie Nemesis. A small fanbase existed for a time for a pairing of Tom Paris and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Julian Bashir, despite the two never meeting on screen. They could plausibly have met during Voyager's layover at Deep Space Nine in 'Caretaker'.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_f1da64b5	comment	The Lord of the Rings has Legolas and the Hobbits, with each pairing having some attention from fandom. Especially Frodo/Legolas, who have only interacted twice â€” once when Legolas declares his protection of the Hobbit and again when the entire Fellowship (sans the dead Boromir) reunites. Though it does help that Orlando Bloom has hung out with the Hobbit actors in Real Life. Additionally, the characters have much more interaction in the book, and the film and book fandoms have a lot of overlap.

Foremost of these is Harry Potter/Susan Bones, who barely interacted in the main canon, but end up dating starting after The Yule Ball. There's also a brief relationship between Ron Weasley & Hannah Abbot, who likewise didn't have much to do with each other in the original story.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_f3368832	comment	Buffyverse: The Dawn/Andrew ship, even though they've hardly ever talked and Andrew is in love with Spike. Andrew has expressed a certain fondness for Dawn, and she's practically fawning over him after he refuses to help the First. There are a fair number of Angel crossovers (probably the majority of them set in season 7/4 in fact) that pair Dawn with Connor, most likely due to their closeness in ages and the fact that technically neither of them should exist (he's the biologically impossible human son of two vampires, she's a ball of ancient mystical energy in human form). After season 7/4, they also share a history of having false memories crafted by monks. The two have yet to meet, even in the comics. A number of fanfics pair Faith and Doyle. To point out the absurdity: Doyle is now dead. During his entire stint with Angel Investigations, Faith was in a coma. Spike/Tara, who traded words maybe once, and Spike/Willow, who had maybe three onscreen conversations over the course of the show (though to be fair, one of those conversations was full of Does This Remind You of Anything?). Connor/Drusilla showed up occasionally post-Season 7/4, despite never meeting onscreen and practically being incest note Darla sired Angel, who sired Drusilla, who re-sired Darla after Darla's resurrection. Connor is the child of Angel and the re-sired Darla.

Ships That Pass in the Night / int_f3e1f424	comment	From Merlin: Morgana and Sir Leon. Leon was introduced in the second season and had no scenes whatsoever with Morgana in the second or third series, yet it still gained quite a number of followers. This changed in the finale of season three in which Leon is forced to kneel in front of Morgana after she's seized the throne of Camelot. The number of shippers increased exponentially.

They have never officially met. At least a week after the second one was posted, the entire fandom shipped them together. Seriously. Each video contains a new Big Bad but fans instantly thought the first two would have a good love-hate relationship.
