The following have their own pages:

• Fan Works: Crossovers

Alvin and the Chipmunks

• Chip Tunes: About a month or two into their fourth grade year at Clyde C. Crashcup Elementary School, Jermaine develops a crush on Jeanette because of how much he enjoys being around her and how much they have in common. Around this time, he asks Alvin for advice on how to tell Jeanette his true feelings for her. Alvin tells Jermaine to be confident and cool, both of which Alvin offers to help Jermaine with. Brittany overhears their conversation and extends her assistance as well because she wants to see her sister happy with a special someone. To help him look cool, Alvin and Brittany buy Jermaine black sunglasses, a black leather jacket, black leather pants, blue suede shoes, and new cologne. One day at school, the two chipmunks nudge Jermaine in Jeanette's direction and suggest he walk with an extra spring in his step.

The Amazing World of Gumball

• Teri × Gumball: In Between Worlds:
  • Most of Gumball and Teri's classmates ship them because they have been hanging out for a few weeks and they showed up at the bus stop together.
  • Yui (Teri's Mother) wants to see them get together as well because of how Gumball is making her daughter happy.

American Dragon: Jake Long

• Dragon Boy: Both Jermaine and Rose's respective families want them to be together. To say the families are excited when it finally does happen is an understatement.

Ariel (2024)

• Mer Tales:
  • Ariel's family, Jermaine's family, and all of Jermaine's friends encourage Jermaine to tell Ariel how he really feels about her.
    • He's apprehensive about doing so because he doesn't think he's good enough for her since she's a princess with great hair, a lovely singing voice, a sublime smile, and a wonderful personality. He also doesn't want to ruin his friendship with her.
    • Everybody assures him that no matter how things play out, Ariel will both appreciate him being honest with her and still want to be his friend. After he admits to still feeling hesitant and unsure, everyone is very understanding but still want him to at least think about what they told him.
    • At the end of the story, Flounder, Sebastian, King Triton, Alanna, and Ayanna look on with warm smiles when Ariel and Jermaine (who had a mutual Love Confession) hold hands as they leave the palace for a date at the rainbow sea caves.

Arrowverse

• Supergirl (2015) fanfic my youth is yours: Mxyzptlk, rather than wanting to marry Kara himself like in the show, just thinks Kara and Lena are adorable together and wants them to get married. They'd be mostly fine with it if not for the part where, after the wedding, he'll take them to be part of his collection.
• In Old Associations, Diggle is so obsessed with Oliver/Felicity that he more or less forces them into couples counseling to get them back together, and is the only one upset when said counseling breaks them up more when a word association test reveals that Oliver still considers Laurel "home". Later, he's still trying to get Oliver and Felicity back together, and even tries to get Laurel to tell Felicity that she (Laurel) is not in love with Oliver. Laurel refuses, and points out that while she wants them happy, he wants them together.
  Laurel: What I still feel doesn’t matter. It’s about what Oliver and Felicity feel. And I’m saying this as objectively as I can, but John, if Felicity is looking for reasons not to get back together with Oliver, then we all just have to accept that. Forcing things won’t do it any good.
  Diggle: So you want them to stay broken up.
  Laurel: I’m not saying they can’t find each other again, just right now is not the right time. I want them to be happy, whether that’s together or apart.
• In Regaining Perspective, Diggle takes his Oliver/Felicity shipping to new heights. The plot is that Cupid gives Oliver a love potion, only for it to be inadvertently triggered by Laurel instead. Diggle seems genuinely insulted it wasn't activated by Felicity, comforted when he's told that it only focused on Laurel because Oliver saw her first, and upon learning that Oliver actually saw Cupid first, but seeing someone (Laurel) he still had genuine feelings for overrode it, immediately asks if there's a second override that could have triggered by him seeing Felicity.
• To Hell and Back presents several examples:
  • Moira ships Oliver/Laurel (which has a strong possibility of happening), and Carter/Kara (which will never be happening).
  • A number of people, including Henry, Oliver, and Kara, ship Barry/Iris. That being said, they recognize that Eddie's presence and Barry's refusal to pursue his best friend romantically means it won't be happening for a while.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

• Gods of Love:
  • After Jermaine tells his parents about the situation with Amora and Loki, his parents say it seems like Amora now has romantic feelings for Jermaine and even suggest Amora could be Asgard's future queen. Jermaine blushes intensely as he grows flustered.
  • After Jermaine completes his decade-long combat training with Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, Jermaine's parents send him to Earth/Midgard to broker peace with the mortals. Amora asks his parents if she can accompany him, and they say yes. Amora jumps up and down in excitement.
  • After Amora and Jermaine tell his parents about them being a couple now, his parents once again tease the possibility of Amora becoming Asgard's future queen. Amora's flattered, but Jermaine feels a bit embarrassed.

Beetlejuice

• Pops up a few times in Cinderjuice in regards to Beetlejuice and Lydia. Donny, BJ's brother, outright calls himself this in regards to the pairing. He's joined there by Prince Vince and Lydia's friends Prudence and Bertha, and... pretty much everyone who knows them, really.

Ben 10

• Hero Time: Jermaine's sisters really want him and Julie to be together. This does indeed happen eventually, although we never see or hear about their reactions.

Bleach

• Rukia in Getting It Right ships Ichigo and Orihime hard, to the point that she often takes pictures of them being (unknowingly) adorable together and calls it her Ichihime collection.

Bolt

• The Bolt Chronicles: Rhino clearly supports Bolt and Mittens becoming a romantic couple once the three pets move to the country with Penny and her mom. It's seen in stories such as "The Wedding Reception," when he bumps first Bolt and then Mittens onto the dance floor using his plastic ball; in "The Funkmeister," when he suggests that Mittens move past her Paris vacation fling with Berlioz to consider looking closer to home for a sweetheart (saying "Maybe you should stop looking wistfully at the dumpster across the street when there’s good eatin’ in the one you’ve found"); in "The Ship," when he encourages the waffling Mittens to declare her feelings for Bolt; and "The Gift," when it's revealed that he was a fully evolved soul who chose to return to earth, discreetly helping Bolt and Mittens realize they were soulmates.

BoJack Horseman

• Rehab: 90's Style
  • Princess Carolyn quickly realizes BoJack and Herb’s feelings for one another long before either of them is willing to admit it themselves, and openly encourages them to stop dancing around the issue and start dating.
  • Dr. Champ also notices the growing romantic tension between BoJack and Herb during rehab and quietly supports the relationship, recognizing how much healthier they become when they lean on one another.

Calvin and Hobbes

• True Stripes: Hobbes immediately picks up on Jermaine's crush on Susie Derkins and strongly encourages him to tell her how he feels. Hobbes then goes on a tangent about how the two children could be prom dates, spouses, and parents in the future. Since Jermaine and Susie are only six, he thinks said tangent is taking things a bit too far. However, he doesn't become angry because he knows Hobbes is only trying to help.

The Chronicles of Narnia

• In The Fledgling Year, many of the girls who are supposed to be Cor’s potential brides don’t bother trying to ingratiate themselves—not because they don’t like him, but because it’s obvious to everyone but him that he’s in love with Aravis. Hana particularly outright says that it’s ridiculous to think of anyone but Aravis marrying Cor, and periodically gives her advice on their relationship.

Codename: Kids Next Door

• The Candygirl:
  • Cree knows about Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 2's mutual attraction and fully supports them.
  • When talking about it, Numbuh 3 says that she thinks Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 362 would make a cute couple.
• The Saga of Numbuh 451: Firecracker is shown to be very supportive of the idea of Sonia and Lee becoming a couple someday and playfully teases her sister about it, much to Sonia's dismay.

Code Geass

• Slightly deconstructed with Lelouch towards Nunnally and Suzaku in Code Geass: Another World when he has the two formally engaged, despite the fact the two were already dating and wanting to be engaged on their own terms. Nunnally decides to retaliate by informing Lelouch about how sexually active the two are, knowing it'll set him on a rampage in Britannia (which thankfully get stopped by Euphemia).

• you wanted to see me?: Teruteru seems aware of Nagito's interest in Hajime and encourages it, much to the latter's annoyance.

  • Despite her own feelings for Danny, Valerie thinks they'd be good together.
  • Star's father has a subtle approval of how close his daughter is getting with Danny Fenton, since he's much nicer and a better influence than her former friends.
  • Cujo overhears Star admitting she has feelings for Danny and is happy to hear his favorite person in two worlds has an admirer.
  • Upon meeting Star, Frostbite likes that she's more amiable than Sam and believes that she'd make a good mate for Danny.
  • Dash comes around to supporting their relationship in their superhero identities by Empowered after getting over Starlight Spirit (though he’ll still admire her), as he makes it clear to Paulina she has no chance with Danny Phantom.
• In general, Danny Phantom fics that ship Danny and Ember usually have Kitty and Johnny involved in this capacity. It helps that all three are characterized as less malicious than most of Danny's Rogues Gallery and often come across as pretty friendly off the clock.
  • Resurrected Memories:
    • Valerie, having truly gotten over Danny, thinks Amberline has feelings for him and secretly believes they would be good together.
    • Downplayed with Star, who despite being Paulina's secretly neurotic Beta Bitch, thinks that Danny and Amberline make a cute couple, but doesn't dare say so around Paulina.

Death Note

• In Death Note: The Abridged Series (Kpts4tv) Da Chief gives L permission to marry Light, tries to make Light put out for Misa, and later Da Chief pimps Light out to Mello:
  Mr. Yagami: How about this? I'll give you the death note and you can take my other daughter for free!
  Light: ... [Death Glare]
  Mello: No, no! I don't want that! I just want the death note!
  Mr. Yagami: What if I paid you?
  Mello: I! do! not! want! Your! kids! Just the Death Note!
• In Welcome To The Family Ryuk is convinced that Light and L's manipulative game is an elaborate human mating ritual and badgers Light about when he's going to propose to L.

Descendants

• The series Package Deal sees Mal reveal to Ben that she and Evie were involved with each other back on the Isle of the Lost, and while she still wants to date Ben, she asks if he would be willing to date Evie as well as she can't bring herself to choose. While initially Mal is aware that she has a distinct relationship with Ben and Evie, she eventually uses a temporary sickness spell on herself so that Ben and Evie will go to a party without her, allowing them both to recognise that they have growing feelings for each other beyond their mutual love for Mal.

Digimon

• In the Tamers Forever Series, Pauline apparently ships Takato and Ruki together.

Disgaea

• Tyrantly Ever After Deconstructs this with Fuka, whose shipping efforts are incredibly self-absorbed: she just wants the payoff of seeing Valvatorez hook up with somebody. When he reveals that he's had a Friends with Benefits arrangement with Fenrich for literal centuries, she attempts to pry even further into their personal business before giving up in disgust at their supposed stupidity. She also interprets Artina's declaration that she's happy to know that they're together as 'proof' that she was secretly interested in somebody else all along, and promptly attempts to start ferreting out suspects, blithely ignoring the discomfort she's causing her.

Doctor Who

• In Epistolary: The Fifty Years Before You Were Born, River Song recalls in one chapter her efforts to get Amy and Rory together as teens. Justified in her case, as she would never have existed if they didn't get together.
  River: Do you know how many tires I had to slash, how many boys I had to threaten, how many dates I had to turn down just to make the way clear for the two of you to finally see each other for what you were? Half the fights I got into at school in some way involved you lot. But that's ok, that's what I wanted. The two of you belong together and not just because it was necessary to maintain the timeline, complete the paradox and create me, but because you truly love each other.

Doki Doki Literature Club!

Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz

• Friends in Oz:
  • Scarecrow and Tin Man notice how much Jermaine comes to idolize Dorothy in such a short amount of time. The two men exchange knowing smiles.
  • Later on, Scarecrow and Tin Man can tell that Jermaine is possibly developing romantic feelings for Dorothy. The two men gently encourage him to talk with her more and voice their support for him growing closer to her, if that's what he wants.
  • After Dorothy formally introduces Jermaine to Aunty Em and Uncle Henry, Aunty Em says she likes Jermaine. Uncle Henry then says Jermaine's a keeper. Jermaine, who realizes he has a crush on Dorothy, blushes intensely.
  • After Jermaine's family meet Dorothy when the boy brings her with him back to Texas, the family try to nudge him into asking Dorothy out. Jermaine grows flustered.

Dragon Age

• In Age of Dragons, Lenore Amell is this for most of her friends. Later, Lenore and Dorian bond over how adorable they think Cullen and the Inquisitor are together. Isabela is a dedicated Hawke/Fenris shipper, though she often playfully ships herself into their relationship.
• Several instances are found in Beyond Heroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium. Dorian leads the shipping squad regarding the main pairing of Varric and Bethany; it's unclear how many people are with him on this but it's more or less considered a Foregone Conclusion by many. In addition to this, Varric and Bethany themselves both like the idea of Professor Kenric and Scout Harding getting together, and Bethany fervently hopes that her brother Carver's longtime crush on Merrill will eventually bear fruit. Somewhat averted with Dorian and the Iron Bull, as Varric is completely shocked when he realizes they're together; he doesn't object to it, he's just baffled that he never noticed their attraction.
• In Shadow and Rose, Leliana is a confirmed Alistair/Warden shipper from a very early point in the story. Wynne and Zevran eventually join her in this; most of the others just sort of roll their eyes.
• A recurring theme in the Skyhold Academy Yearbook series, with pretty much everyone shipping the official couples. The student body in general is (in the words of the authors) "a Greek chorus of Squee" when it comes to the love lives of their teachers.
• Twice Upon an Age: A lot of the background characters are this for the two main pairings in All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird, with Varric and Dorian leading the shipping squad. The two main characters also very much ship one another with their respective love interests. It's implied that Dorian ships Varric and Bethany from practically the moment the latter arrives in Skyhold, although nobody seems to know exactly what's going on there - possibly not even the pair themselves.

Dragon Ball

• Dragonball Rewritten: The Series: In Dragonball: Rewritten, Korin supports the idea of Vegeta and Goku becoming a couple, even though Kami is against it. He plans to assist Vegeta in furtherance of this goal regardless of whether it goes against Kami's wishes.

Dungeons & Dragons

• Ravenloft: Outlander Chronicles: Lady Alice Weathermay strongly hints she'd like it if either of her daughters fell for Wyatt, since they seem uninterested in all the men Mordent has to offer. As she says, her daughters are of an age, and she herself is of an age, where she'd very much like at least one of them to take a husband.

Ed, Edd n Eddy

• Nathan Kedd Goldberg (or Nat), an OC created by C2ndy2cid, has been adopted by the Tumblr fandom as the captain of the Kevedd ship... with fairly good reason◊.

• Fairy Friends:
  • "Night Life" has a few examples.
    • At the beginning of the chapter, Veronica gasps and squeals with delight after Jermaine tells her and Chloe that he has a crush on Trixie. Veronica says he and Trixie would make such a cute couple.
    • After he tells them that he also has a crush on Tootie, Chloe tells him he and Tootie would be very happy together.
    • Naturally, Chloe and Veronica encourage him to confess his feelings to Tootie and Trixie, but he doesn't want to out of a fear that he'll ruin his friendship with them. Chloe and Veronica assure him that such a thing won't happen.
    • They then suggest he ask both Tootie and Trixie to the dance. He refuses to do so because he believes that wouldn't be fair to Tootie or Trixie. He then says he wants both Tootie and Trixie to feel special since they're beautiful inside and out. Following this, Veronica tells him that he and Chloe won't pressure him to make a decision but still want him to think about what they said.
  • "Sun and Fun" has many examples.
    • At the beginning of the chapter, Veronica asks Jermaine if he still has crushes on Tootie and Trixie.
    • After he says he does, Veronica tells him that because he'd been crushing on Tootie and Trixie for most of the school year he was now genuinely in love with them since having a crush on somebody for at least three months means those innocent feelings have blossomed into passionate romance. Veronica then says this summer could be a "summer of love" for him, Tootie, and Trixie while nudging his shoulder and winking at him.
    • Chloe agrees with everything Veronica says and tells him summer is the perfect time to finally confess his feelings to Tootie and Trixie thanks to the season granting him extra free time to spend with Tootie and Trixie. After blushing and smiling at the thought of spending more time with Tootie and Trixie (which includes fantasizing about Holding Hands with them again and even kissing them on the lips), he tells Chloe and Veronica he'll think about what they told him.
    • On the day of the summer solstice, he goes to Dimmsdale Beach with Trixie and Veronica. Veronica opts to relax on the beach so he and Trixie can have some alone time in the giant sand castle he wished for from Cosmo and Wanda.
    • At the end of the chapter, Cosmo and Wanda each give Jermaine a smile and a thumbs up when they realize he's about to attempt confessing his romantic feelings to Tootie and Trixie as the three children watch the sunset in Dimmsdale Park.
• Hybridized!: Chapter 11 shows that Cupid is a Dev/Hazel shipper and is willing to break the rule against using his arrows on Anti-Fairies to help get them together.
  • Winn is implied to support them getting together as they were happy that Hazel and Dev had their first kiss.

Fallout

• In the Fallout 3 fan fiction Trouble (Rustypaperclip), Johnny Saint the legendary vault dweller can see the chemistry between Harkness and Butch, and casually offers Harkness advice on how to deal with Butch's emotions.

Family Guy

• Good, Old-Fashioned Values:
  • After Jermaine tells his family about Meg, they're excited and happy about him making a new friend, especially one who shares his struggles. They also say she's lucky to have him in her life now. Finally, they ask him if he thinks she's cute. He becomes a bit flustered, but he does admit he finds her attractive. His family suggests he could ask Meg out in the future after getting to know her better, which causes him to blush.
  • After Jermaine helps Meg move into her new place following her getting emancipated from her abusive family, Jermaine's own family expresses how proud they are of him for going above and beyond to help Meg.

Final Fantasy

• Sasasha supports Luso/Kanin in The Tainted Grimoire.

Fire Emblem: Awakening

• Lissa and Sumia support Frederick/Robin after realizing the two are spending a lot of time together in Pretender. Justified in Sumia's case, because she knows that Robin has feelings for her husband Chrom and hopes that if Robin moves on, Chrom will stop being obsessed with Robin.
• Lucina Reacts: Everyone, for everyone - or rather, almost everyone for almost everyone. For specifics:
  • Almost everyone for Lucina and Robin, although Sumia and Reflet are the primary shippers apart from the Cabal. Sumia's true motive is revealed, while Reflet's is far more altruistic.
  • The Justice Cabal drives most of the shipping. Their primary targets are the above Lucina and Robin, Lon'qu and Cordelia (although they were revealed to have been an Official Couple long before the story began) and Gangrel and Emmeryn.
  • Reflet's a special case: she ships the ships that would make both participants happy, due to wanting everyone to be happy.
  • Morgan and Sumia ship Robin with Lucina. Morgan also ships several other couples, including Lon'qu and Cordelia, and seems to be aiming to ship everyone with everyone at some point.

Friends

• "Fracture" opens with Ross finding Chandler and Monica in bed together on the day of Ross's wedding to Emily. While Ross is obviously put out at the idea of Chandler sleeping with his sister and Joey feels that the notion of friends sleeping with their friends' sisters is a bad idea, Rachel shows full support at the idea of Chandler and Monica starting a relationship once she's told more about the situation.

Fullmetal Alchemist

• Pretty much everyone in the Elemental Chess Trilogy is a Shipper on Deck for Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye, though probably no one more than Grumman. Flashbacks in the second story and several incidents in the prequel indicate that the shipping has been happening for years.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi

• call it what you want: The Competent Adults group chat is collectively very on board with Wen Qing dating Jiang Yanli.
• Impenetrable Walls:
  • Rather justified by the Palace of Quiescence's attendants, since their lives genuinely depend on their master attracting the Imperial Brother to bed — in Ancient China, a concubine's household would be executed alongside her if said concubine fell from grace.
  • The emperor forces his brother's not-so-hidden crush to become said sibling's concubine, sends them porn books as a bridal gift and outright visits to express his disapproval of them refusing to engage into sex. When you're the Son of Heaven, subtle is for other, lowly people.
• In The Lost Cause, Nie Huaisang rather likes the idea of Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen together.
• In Love Song in Reverse, Lan Xichen and Sizhui openly support the possibility of a relationship between Lan Wangji and Mo Xuanyu because they think the amnesiac cultivator could make Lan Wangji happy after his thirteen-year-long mourning.
• In Second Bite of the Cherry, Lan Yi is very happy about Wei Ying and Lan Wangji's upcoming nuptials, giving them her blessing.
• In Twelve Moons and a Fortnight, Nie Huaisang, Yu Zhenhong and Li Shuai are known to support Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. They find ways to help Wei Wuxian realize his feelings for Lan Wangji or inform Lan Wangji of anything that concerns Wei Wuxian.

Harry Potter

• Beaten and Bruised: Seamus is very invested in Harry and Draco's potential relationship and wants to hear every detail from Harry, which continues once Harry and Draco become an Official Couple. He often jumps around whenever Harry gives him good news regarding their relationship progress.
• George Weasley and the Computational Error says that the Fat Lady does this, though she's usually discreet about it.
• Happy Endings features a character who has the power to make her favored pairings happen. Hilarity Ensues.
• Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality: There's a few of these. Daphne Greengrass ships Harry×Hermione, and one of the two Lovegoods seems to ship Harry×Draco. Later, the following conversation about Draco, Harry, and Hermione occurs:
  "It's so sad," said Sherice Ngaserin, who actually had tears in her eyes. "They were just—they were just so obviously meant to be together!"
  "You mean Potter and Malfoy?" said a second-year named Colleen Johnson. "I know—their families hated each other so much, there's no way they couldn't fall in love—"
  "No, I mean all three of them," said Sherice.
• Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past: Since Harry has seen Ron and Hermione get past their bickering and find happiness together, he's keen to kick-start the process in the new timeline. He mediates in their disputes, talks them up to each other, and helps them both smooth out some of the rough edges that make them clash (e.g. stepping up Ron's work ethic, and helping Hermione to question authority when needed). Hermione eventually works out what he's doing, but by that time she doesn't necessarily dislike the idea.
• Moratorium has Hermione, who ships Harry/Tom despite never having met Tom.

The Haunted Mansion

• The Mansionverse has Gus ship his two friends Ezra and Phineas with each other.

• In The Prince and the Thief, Charlie approves of Moxxie's infatuation for Striker and encourages him.

Hetalia: Axis Powers

• Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità: Hungary shipped Germany and Italy together. She shipped Japan and Italy together. She shipped all three of them together.

Hey Arnold!

• In Oh Rhonda!, Phoebe and Nadine like the idea of Rhonda having a crush on Arnold and try to push them together as best as they could. Likewise, Rhonda and Nadine ship Phoebe with Gerald.

Homestuck

• Nepeta's shipping wall and ways are Deconstructed in Be the Sea Dweller Lowblood, where she's oblivious to Eridan's flushed feelings for her and tries to set him up with his moirail Feferi. This eventually leads to her discovering that she doesn't understand Eridan enough to be a true moirail, while Feferi is not pleased with Nep seemingly trying to steal her moirail away, and just how manipulative and controlling this makes her appear to them.
• Lereal Belsai, the Sufferist leader in Hivefled, was horrified to find that Nepeta broke up with Karkat when her kismesissitude with his best friend Sollux got in the way, as he thought they would follow in the footsteps of their respective ancestors. Nepeta, the Homestuck canon's resident Shipper On Deck, is horrified by his idea of her and Karkat being in a relationship which transcends the quadrants; not only does she not want to be left without her kismesis and moirail, but it would make her own shipping wall a lot more boring. Gamzee, meanwhile, becomes a Shipper On Deck for Feferi and Sollux's moirallegiance, fearing that he will be stuck with Feferi in a Pair the Spares situation and repeat the relationship of their ancestors. (Their shared ancestors, to be specific. Moirails reproducing is a taboo equivalent to human incestuous reproduction, but Condesce and the Grand Highblood did it anyway.)

How to Train Your Dragon

• In Chapter 2 of A Thing of Vikings, Trader Johann tells Hiccup and Astrid in no uncertain terms that they are an ideal match.
  "Oh, and Hiccup, my boy?... Keep her close. You won't find someone who can fence that well with you twice in a single lifetime without Frigga's and Odin's blessings. And, you, Miss, that goes for you as well. You've got him, don't let him get away. He'll be going down in the histories next to the natural philosophers of old, at the very least, and that's not even counting how well you're matched with him personally."
• In The Blacksmith's Apprentice, Stoick and Gobber are quietly supportive of Hiccup and Astrid’s relationship once they see evidence that Astrid genuinely cares for Hiccup despite him having been reduced to basically the village thrall, and Toothless recognizes them as mates before they’ve even kissed.

The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

• Romance Route DLC: If Takumi claims he kissed Eito in his dream, Kyoshika immediately becomes enthusiastic about the pairing, believing it to be a star-crossed rivals to lovers time-traveling romance like in her mangas. In Ending D03, Kako implies that she's also fervently supporting Takumi and Yugamu being together... much to Takumi's misfortune later.

The Hunger Games

• There are multiple Shippers on Deck in Some Semblance of Meaning: Fen implies that she wishes Vale had been born in District Five so she and Fen's brother Lark could have gotten together, whereas Vale's sister Laurel is shown to be a wholehearted supporter of Vale/Obsidian (and she's not alone).

After they inform him of their Relationship Upgrade following a mutual Love Confession and The Big Damn Kiss at a Slumber Party, he happily embraces them in a Group Hug and says how proud he is of them for taking their relationship to the next level.

Johnny Test

• The Ultimate Test:
  • After Jermaine tells his family about his crush on Sissy, they encourage him to tell Sissy how he feels about her. Dukey even goes so far as to say that Jermaine's in love with Sissy. Since Sissy and Jermaine are just preteens, he seriously doubts that he loves her and becomes a bit flustered by Dukey's suggestion. However, Jermaine doesn't get angry or even annoyed at Dukey because he knows that he's just trying to help. In spite of his family's urging, Jermaine's apprehensive about confessing his feelings to Sissy. He feels like he's not good enough for her due to her athleticism, beauty, and intellect.

As such, his family also say that they won't try to force or pressure him into coming clean about his crush to Sissy.
  • At the end of the story, the Tests walk in and look on with warm smiles after Jermaine and Sissy have The Big Damn Kiss and a Relationship Upgrade during their Valentine's Day movie marathon. Dukey and Missy (Sissy's pet pink labradoodle) do the same after returning inside from frolicking in the flowers. Once Jermaine and Sissy tell the latter's mother about their new romantic relationship, Mrs. Blakely embraces the two preteens in a Group Hug that soon becomes a Bear Hug because of how tightly Mrs. Blakely squeezes them.

Jurassic World

• It's not the Raptor DNA has Elise the Indominus Rex nudging Kindly Vet Jackie towards Lowery as best as she can manage for being a giant dinosaur. She succeeds, and the two humans hit off rather well.

Kill la Kill

• In Before My Body Is Dry, Aikuro Mikisugi and the Mankanshoku family all greatly support the possibly of Akio Takahiro (Aikuro's adopted brother in this fic) and Ryuko Matoi getting together. Mako Mankanshoku, though a teensy bit jealous of Akio at the start, ultimately joins her family in supporting the couple, and goes into full-on fangirl mode when Ryuko tells her that she and Akio are now boyfriend and girlfriend.
  Mako: I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! You know what I said to my Mom when you two first met? I said 'How cool would it be if those two ended up getting together?' and now look at you two! You're like peanut butter and jelly! White on rice! Cookies and milk!

Kim Possible

• Law and Disorder has Kim being accused of theft by Professor Dementor and sent to prison, with one of her cellmates being DNAmy. When Kim ends up admitting to Amy and Tiny (another former hero currently in prison) that she's stressed out about recent news that Bonnie is putting the moves on Josh Mankey and Ron has a date with Tara that weekend, both of the other women observe that she's basically already dating Ron, helping her realise the depth of her feelings for her best friend.
• The Ronless Factor takes it to a new level; after Ron is killed and remains on Earth as a ghost to help Kim stop the latest scheme, it's all but explicitly stated that even God wants Kim and Ron to be together, with Ron's ghostly mentor Rita implied to be a disguise assumed by God to help prompt Ron into a position where Drakken's latest Death Ray will help to bring him back to life.

Kung Fu Panda

• In A Different Lesson, Viper and later Mei Ling are this for Tai Lung and Tigress.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

• In The Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain, Tom Sawyer really wants his adopted sister to hook up with their friend the invisible man. Eventually, so does everyone else, including her dead father. (It Makes Sense in Context.)

The Legend of Zelda

• In the fanfiction novelization of Hyrule Warriors, everyone, sans Impa, is this for Link and Zelda. Midna is the most vocal; she brings it up to Link, and is later revealed to ship the Link and Zelda of her era.
• Parallel Legends: In Symphony, after Link and Zelda become a couple, the king gives them his blessing.

The Life and Times of Juniper Lee

• You Can't Stop the Girl:
  • Jermaine blushes due to feeling flattered after June says that she admires his love for folklore, legends, and myths. Jody and Ophelia exchange knowing smiles about his blushing.
  • Jermaine gradually develops a crush on June because of how much fun he always has being around her and how much they have in common. Her combat skills, intelligence, and superpowers also play a role. As a socially awkward preteen, he hesitates to confess his feelings to her. Jody and Ophelia can tell that he likes June, with Ophelia saying he's making it obvious. While Jody gently encourages him to tell June how he feels, Ophelia constantly hurls biting remarks at him about his crush on June and tells him to come clean to June before somebody else does. Ophelia claims to only be acting like this because she wants to see Jermaine and June happy together, but he still has his doubts.
  • At the end of the story, Jermaine and June go to a school dance together. They dance the night away, and she sings along to all the music that plays. He thinks she has the voice of an angel and says as much, which she appreciates. She also blushes. Jody looks on with clasped hands and a warm smile. Ophelia merely gives a satisfied smirk.

Lost Girl

• In Where The Eyes Of The Old Gods Can't Hope To Find Us, Kenzi (as in the show) ships Dyson/Bo despite Bo dating Lauren. Deconstructed when Lauren calls her on it, by pointing out how that makes her feel. In fact, as Lauren points out, everyone ships Bo with someone other than her. Trick, Kenzi, and of course Dyson himself all want her with Dyson. Hale wants her with a Light Fae, to sway her into joining the Light.

Love Hina

• For His Own Sake plays with this a few different ways:
  • Played straight with how Isana supports Nagisa and Keitaro getting together after noting how close they've become.
  • Deconstructed with Mutsumi who wants nothing more than to help Naru and Keitaro hook up. Too bad this means constantly ignoring Keitaro's insistence that he doesn't want anything else to do with the violently abusive Naru. Her continued attempts to 'help' completely destroy their friendship.
  • Rich Bitch Kagura is a rare villainous version: she specifically wants Nagisa and Keitaro to get together so it'll be even more painful for Nagisa to lose him.

Luca

• The Story of Apollo, Daphne and Luca: An Italian Tragedy: Before Alberto left (albeit temporarily) for Genoa, Massimo gave him some advice to help him win Luca's heart.

The Matrix

• A Different Point of View affirms that Morpheus was ironically the last member of his crew to realise that Neo and Trinity were in love; when Mouse tried to suggest arranging a liasion with the woman in the red dress for Neo, Apoc and Switch held him back and threatened to hit him if he did anything to jeopardise Neo and Trinity admitting their feelings for each other.

Medaka Box

• In World as Myth, Yobuko gets very excited pairing her male classmates together as more than friends.

Mega Man

• call_facticity.zip: Chapter 6 reveals that Gate and Nightmare Zero are this for X and Zero.

Merlin

• In The Student Prince, Merlin ships Lance/Gwen and keeps egging Gwen on to make a move on Lance. It's likely that this is partly because he wants Arthur for himself and doesn't want Arthur/Gwen to happen.

Miraculous Ladybug

• Commonly targeted for demolition and deconstruction in ML fanworks, particularly those that don't support the Love Square. Such stories tend to highlight the amount of pressure Marinette is under to keep pursuing Adrien despite numerous failures and embarrassments, along with the public pressure for Ladybug and Chat Noir to hook up despite her reluctance and often protesting that she's simply not interested in her crimefighting partner like that.
• Burning Bridges, Building Confidence also casts this in a bad light. Alya is so eager to see LadyNoir become canon that when she overhears Chat refusing to help unless Ladybug 'admits' that she needs him and agrees to get together, she doesn't see anything wrong with it, Blaming the Victim for any potential consequences of him withholding his aid.
  Good ultimatum, Alya thought. She better do it quick, or else they might get her miraculous.
• Crackships and Rarepairs plays it for laughs. Much to Adrien's distress, his classmates and the internet becomes obsessed with shipping his dad with various people, starting with Hawk Moth (naturally, no one knows that the two are the same person). Throughout the one-shot, various alternate pairings get brought up, including GabeNath (Gabriel and Nathalie), Hawk Moth/Mayura, Gabriel/Nathalie/Hawk Moth/Mayura, GabeClown (Gabriel and Harry Clown), Gabriel/Tomoe Tsurugi, Gaberey (Gabriel and Audrey Bourgeois), Andregreste (Gabriel and André Bourgeois), and Gorileste (Gabriel and the Gorilla) — all of which are pushed with varying degrees of seriousness by different people and all of which cause Adrien further despair.
• In Eloquent Silence, Nadja pushes the LadyNoir agenda. This extends beyond just wanting ratings; when Ladybug reveals that she's actually dating Silencer, Nadja balks and stammers. It's heavily implied that she doesn't approve because Silencer doesn't speak and isn't a white-skinned pretty boy blond like Chat Noir.
• Feralnette AU: Deconstructed during the Enough Rope arc:
  • Lila exploits Alya's love of LadyNoir by claiming Chat Noir told her he was going to stage a Love Confession during an upcoming fair. Despite knowing about Lila's supposed 'lying disease', Alya gleefully posts the exclusive news on her Ladyblog, flooding the event with would-be gawkers and shippers eager to catch sight of the heroes... and focusing Hawkmoth's attention there. Ladybug later calls Alya out on her Skewed Priorities, spelling out how she put hundreds of innocent civilians at risk.
  • Marinette also points out to her classmates how incredibly manipulative it would be for Chat Noir to stage a public confession despite already knowing that his partner isn't interested in a Relationship Upgrade, and that such a stunt might convince her to take the Ring away from him in order to put an end to the harassment.
• In Hollow Wedding, Alya brings Marinette to Adrien's wedding fully expecting her to make a scene and finally confess her feelings for him... mainly because she refuses to accept that Marinette's long since gotten over her crush. Her insistance that she knows her bestie's heart better than Marinette herself is directly compared to the couple's Control Freak parents; Gabriel and Tomoe are forcing their children together because it suits their own purposes, not particularly caring how Adrien or Kagami feel about it... until Kagami informs her mother of how Adrien had made clear he was only "settling" for her due to her vague resemblance to his own crush.
• I Humbly Reject This Award has Ladybug and Chat Noir winning "Couple of the Year"... despite how they aren't a couple. When Alya "spoils the surprise" during an ambush interview, Ladybug angrily uses the livestream to call out the public not just on ignoring her repeated insistence that she's not interested in her partner that way, but not considering that they might have relationships as civilians. This callout actually seems to break through to people, as the awards committee quietly disqualifies the pair and most decide to abandon the ship, though a few stubborn holdouts remain.
• Jerk in Sheep's Clothing: Tom and Sabine ship Marinette and Henri heavily thanks to his kind and friendly demeanor towards Marinette and because he has made her happy again, being unaware of his true nature.
• Juleka vs. the Forces of the Universe:
  • Alya supports both MariAdrien and LadyNoir, and it is made discomfortingly clear that she could not care less about how Marinette or Ladybug feel on either matter. She attempts to convince the rest of the Girl Squad that Marinette is outright incapable of making her own decisions, plowing through one Zany Scheme after another to try and hook her up with Adrien against her will.
  • Master Fu also thinks that Ladybug and Chat Noir make a cute couple. Unfortunately for him, he remarks on their suitability for each other to Juleka, who points out all the ways that Chat Noir disrespects his 'partner' and acts like The Load. Even then, he's reluctant to accept that he made a mistake, and when he starts coming around, the Universe punishes and prevents him from discussing the matter with Marinette by forcing him to renounce his Guardianship and lose his memories.
  • Most people in Paris blindly ship LadyNoir, with Side-By-Side running a special encouraging viewers to send in their favorite photographs and moments. Hawkmoth himself even weaponizes this by akumatizing an angry LadyNoir fan into Shipper, with Chat Noir opting to sit out of the fight while claiming the Villain Has a Point. Many of the citizens who witness this blatant disregard for their safety actually agree with Chat Noir, much to Juleka's disgust.
  • At the same time, the concept is reconstructed through Juleka. Unlike Alya, Master Fu, the citizens of Paris, and Fate Itself, Juleka actually cares about what Marinette wants. She prioritizes her health and happiness, to the point of questioning her own subjectivity and being completely willing to back down at any hint of her actions going against what Marinette or Luka want. Above all else, she wants them to be comfortable, regardless of how hard it is to Screw Destiny.
• LadyBugOut:
  • The fic diverges from canon when several of Alya's classmates question whether or not Ladybug and Chat Noir were Kissing Under the Influence of Oblivio's mind wipe. Alya knows they didn't have their memories, and that Ladybug was horrified by the picture, but refuses to diverge that information because that makes the kiss less 'romantic'.
  • Adrien also reveals himself as a LadyNoir shipper by declaring that Chat Noir deserved that kiss, regardless of the surrounding circumstances, purely because the two of them are clearly meant to be together. Marinette and several other classmates are disgusted by his lack of respect for Ladybug's feelings on the matter.
• Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Spite Playlist plays this painfully, as Alya and Nino both support the idea of their friends Lila and Adrien getting together... without realizing that Lila is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who's mainly interested in Adrien as a social tool. So when she forcibly kisses him to stake her claim, both react with excitement, completely missing his horror.
• Miraculous Ladybug Salt-Shots criticizes this in several of its stories:
  • ...How Could You? has Alya and Nino lock Marinette and Adrien into a closet while pretending they're being attacked by a supervillain. Marinette has a panic attack; when the pair unlock the door and see her curled up against Adrien, they start preening and gloating over how their plan worked. Neither one bats a lash when Adrien furiously reminds them that he's currently dating Kagami; when Marinette sobs that she'd told Alya she just wanted to work on being friends with him, Alya dismissively declares that she shouldn't "lie to herself" about her real feelings. Both victims are so enraged by their callous behavior that they break off their friendship then and there.
  • In Where You Stand, Marinette and Nino confront Alya on how she uses Doublethink to flicker back and forth between two irreconcilable viewpoints: whenever it suits her purposes, she claims that Marinette is a Stalker with a Crush who gets incredibly jealous of Lila and any other girl who gets too close to Adrien. Yet Alya's supposed "concerns" don't stop her from coming up with all manner of Zany Schemes to "help" them hook up, and she refuses to take no for an answer. Both ask her to pick a side and stick with it.
  • Reflection has Ladybug Shaming the Mob when she takes Nadja and a crowd of LadyNoir shippers to task for how they constantly pester her about when she's going to "accept Chat Noir's feelings". She explictly points out that none of them know anything about either of them, yet have decided her feelings don't matter — Chat Noir wants her, and that's all they care about.
    Ladybug: I could be anyone. I could be your sister. I could be your mother. I could be your boss. Your co-worker. Your wife. Your best friend. Your daughter. How would you feel if someone close to you were getting shipped with a person that they said they had no romantic interest in?
    Nadja: I—
    Ladybug: You'd be disgusted, right? Angry even. You just don't understand why people keep shipping her with someone that they don't like. Why people keep pushing them to be a couple when the feelings are clearly one-sided. Even when she says no. But it's fine. It doesn't matter that we don't know the ages of either hero. Since one hero is clearly interested in the other, they're meant to be. Right? If I was your mother, anyone close to you and you knew my identity — would you continue to ship us? Even if I have a relationship of my own. Would you still ship us and tell me to get together with him even when I don't want to date him and see him strictly as a partner?
• In Miraculous! Rewrite, Andre the Ice Cream Man becomes a die-hard supporter of Chat Noir/Marinette after she tries to cheer Chat up. This is over both their protests; the fact that Chat loves somebody else — and that Marinette is dating Luka — doesn't matter one whit to him, and their refusal to play along leads to his akumatization.
• Part of Alya's arc in The One to Make It Stay revolves around deconstructing this type of character:
  • Firstly, she is so eager to see Marinette confess to her crush that she keeps engineering Zany Schemes to help them get together. Not only do these not work (since Status Quo Is God), but they take a toll on Marinette's psyche; each successive failure makes her nervous about trying again and humiliating herself even more. Rather than listening to her friend's concerns, however, Alya perceives this as Marinette simply being too shy to act on her own and needing to be pushed.
    Marinette: But I don't want to confess to Adrien.
    Alya: That's exactly my point. Now come on, Adrien is waiting for you.
  • Even when Marinette spells out for her that she's moved on from her crush and has started dating Luka, Alya rejects that reality by suggesting that she's only dating Luka to make Adrien jealous. She quickly follows that up with attempting to arrange a date between Adrien and Lila, making it look as though she's bounced to another ship. In reality, though, this is Alya's attempt to stage an Operation: Jealousy of her own. Knowing that Marinette dislikes Lila, she hopes to spur her into dumping Luka and chasing after Adrien again after seeing him with her 'rival'.
  • Alya also supports LadyNoir, and kicks off a considerable amount of drama when she secretly films one of Chat's Love Confessions and edits the footage to make it appear that Ladybug reciprocated rather than gently turning him down. She then posts the results on her Ladyblog, encouraging Chat to double down on his entitled behavior... and when Ladybug confronts her about it, insists that she didn't do anything wrong.
• In Overdose, Marinette slips a drop of love potion into Adrien's food, having been warned that the substance is very potent and more than one drop will cause serious problems. Despite this, Adrien suffers all the symptoms of an overdose several hours later. Why? Because everyone secretly did the same thing, to get together exactly the same couple ^note except Chloe, who hoped Adrien would fall in love with her, and all of them thought they were the only one doing so. Ten people each administering one drop adds up very very quickly, much to Adrien's displeasure.
• Deconstructed in Recommencer: After Chat Noir is widely witnessed refusing to help Ladybug against an akuma unless she 'admits that she loves him' first, forcing civilians to step in and assist her instead, he gets forcibly retired. While some are happy to see him gone after he took matters so lightly and harassed his partner, others are distressed — mostly because their beloved LadyNoir is no more. Merch supporting the pairing continues to be sold, and Alya posts an article on her Ladyblog ranting about how 'LadyNoir can still win'.
• Tales of Karmic Lies Aftermath:
  • Chloé plays with this; she fully expects that Marinette and Luka will get married once they're older. Though she teases them about being Sickeningly Sweethearts, she also offers to help Luka buy a nice ring... while also questioning just what he's spending his royalty money on if he's not setting enough aside for that himself.
  • Alya laments not learning Marinette and Adrien's secret identities sooner, declaring that if she'd only known, she could have made two of her OTPs happen at once. She only stopped shipping it not because Marinette had clearly moved on from her old crush, but because of how Adrien had betrayed her and the rest of the class by refusing to warn them about Lila.
  • Aeon apologizes to Marinette for how she and Jessica got swept up into Alya and Nino's efforts to shove her and Adrien together, having come to realize later that they were being pushy and invasive and didn't really know anything about them, working entirely off of presumptions.
• Their Lament:
  • Alya ships LadyNoir, hence her refusal to consider that Ladybug herself might not be interested in getting together with her crime-fighting partner.
  • She was also keen to 'help' Marinette hook up with Adrien even when Marinette herself was having doubts, convinced she just needed to be pushed towards him with her Zany Schemes.
• Weight Off Your Shoulder:
  • Future!Alix exploits this to her own ends. When Alya starts questioning her motivations for trying to restore the original timeline, Future!Alix tells her and the rest of the Girl Posse that Marinette and Adrien eventually hooked up. Juleka then points out that Marinette is currently happily dating Luka, wondering if the other girls' priorities are so skewed that they're willing to mess with how things are going for the sake of making their ship sail.
  • Eventually, it turns out that Future!Alix is a shipper herself, hellbent upon forcing Marinette and Adrien to live happily ever after despite seeing numerous Bad Futures where the relationship self-destructs or leads to disasters like Chat Blanc. She refuses to acknowledge that the two might simply be incompatible.
• What Goes Around Comes Around deconstructs this in several ways:
  • While Alya is well aware that Marinette is dating Luka, she regards him as a 'runner-up prize' and keeps pressuring her to continue pursuing Adrien. Her blithely dismissive attitude towards Luka only serves to alienate Marinette and Juleka, as neither takes kindly to her declaring that Luka is 'nothing special'.
  • Alya is also thrilled when Adrien reveals himself as Chat Noir shortly after Marinette's unmasking, as this means that two of her OTPs are one and the same... which leads to her pressuring Marinette even more. She only backs off after Adrien's Betrayal by Inaction is revealed, making her give up on both ships.
  • In the sequel, Truth & Journalism, Andre the Ice Cream Man ruins Marinette and Luka's date by refusing to serve them. Why? Because Luka doesn't fit the description his "magical ice cream" originally predicted would be Marinette's true love, and he insists that she should stick with that first order.

My-HiME

• Deconstructed in Perfection Is Overrated, in which Bachiko, as well as her accomplice Meiko not only has the opinion that certain characters would be better off with other people, but as a SUE, has the power to make those desired couples a reality.

My Hero Academia

• I Don't Run An Orphanage!: Shiruku. Likely due to the fact that her main source of activity from birth until arriving at the Midoriya Foundation was watching television and movies. She's the most active of the children in shipping her adoptive father Izuku and his friend Ochako Uraraka together. Naturally, she and her fellow romantic Mina get along well.
• Mineta in The Saint and the Sinner ships Izuku and Uraraka, often arranging scenarios where they'll be in each other's company while everyone else is mysteriously distracted by other things.

My Life as a Teenage Robot

• Teenage Robot Life: After Jenny introduces Jermaine to Nora, Nora immediately takes a shine to him and wholeheartedly approves of his friendship with Jenny. Nora then suggests he could be Jenny's boyfriend, which causes both teens to blush INTENSELY. Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, Jenny doesn't become angry or even annoyed with Nora because the former knows the latter is just excited about her daughter gaining a new friend.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

• In The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan:
  • Princess Celestia shows she is well aware of how many ponies who had the titles "Faithful Student" and "Night Apprentice" ended up in lasting romantic relationships, and implies she may or may not have paired two ponies she thought would make a good couple in the past.
  • Trixie, who is The Not-Love Interest to Nova, is quite supportive of Nova and Twilight ending up together, though her method is usually rather antagonistic.
• The Dear Sweetie Belle Continuity: Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy play this role for Applejack and Rainbow Dash in [[Morning Glory]]. They slip them the Apples' "honeymoon cider" which was meant for Fluttershy, not that she needed it.
• Cadance tends to do this in Diaries of a Madman, much to Navarone's frustration.
• A Diplomatic Visit:
  • In the sequel Diplomat at Large, Cadance, Celestia and the other changeling Queens are all very much in support of Luna and Pharynx as a couple. Later, Discord of all people turns out to approve of Luna and Pharynx as a couple when he appears in chapter 4.
  • During the epilogue of the fourth story, The Diplomat's Life, it's noted that Rarity is dating both her new friend and business partner Gem Polisher, and her employee Coco Pommel, and that Spike is supportive of all of them, feeling that Gem Polisher is good for Rarity and Rarity's good for Coco. To say nothing of the fact that Velvet managed to help find someone for Celestia.
• In Duel Nature, both Luna and Reinolds can tell that Twilight Sparkle and Bronze Bell are interested each other, and encourage Twilight to do something about it.
• Earth and Sky: Rarity plays matchmaker for Applejack and Soarin' and Apple Bloom and Pipsqueak, and takes things to almost Chessmaster levels of planning.
• The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds: Applejack and Mike actively try and play matchmaker between Fluttershy and Big Macintosh (AJ's actually been trying for years, hampered by Fluttershy's shyness and Big Mac not feeling good enough for her). Granny Smith eventually gets in on the act, complaining that the two of them have been laying it on too thick.
  • Big Mac appears to be this for Caramel (Big Mac, AJ and Applebloom's cousin in the fanfic) and Blues Noteworthy.
• The My Little Pony: Equestria Girls fic Everyone Ships Twilight is based around this - Twilight admits to her family that she's gay, which they'd already figured out, and that she's dating Rainbow Dash. Then she finds out they and a few others all shipped her with people other than her actual girlfriend (the exception was Vice-Principal Luna, who'd actually seen Rainbow asking Twilight out). Specifically:
  • Night Light thought she was with Applejack.
  • Twilight Velvet thought she was with Fluttershy.
  • Shining Armor had money on Pinkie.
  • Cadance figured on Sunset.
  • Principal Celestia thought she was with Rarity.
    • In the final chapter, Twilight finds out her friends all had their own ideas:
  • Sunset, before she knew Twilight preferred girls, shipped her with Flash Sentry.
  • Applejack thought Indigo Zap from Crystal Prep had a thing for Twilight. Twilight points out that Indigo's straight and has a boyfriend.
  • Pinkie doesn't exactly ship it and recognizes that it's really more of a sisterly relationship, but she thinks it's sweet how Cadance treats Twilight. Twilight informs her that while she can understand how Pinkie might think that way, Cadance is with Twilight's brother Shining Armor.
  • Fluttershy thinks the two Twilights would make a good couple.
  • Rarity ships everyone, Twilight included, with herself.
• Flash Fog: Rarity, and to a lesser extent Rainbow Dash, decides to help things along between Fluttershy and Pencil Pusher.
• The Flash Sentry Chronicles:
  • Princess Cadance has been trying to get Flash and Twilight together for years.
  • Once Rainbow's mom, Windy Whistles, meets Soarin and realizes how close he and Rainbow are she becomes ecstatic at her daughter dating a Wonderbolt and even begins fantasizing about their wedding, much to Rainbow's embarrassment.
• In Friendship is Witchcraft, Twilight Sparkle wrote a 70 chapter fanfic about "Applesack" and "Charity", and forces the two to act it out for her.
• Spike becomes this in parts of It Takes a Village, prodding Fluttershy and Big Macintosh together. In the epilogue, he's finding a new date for Rarity and also working on getting Pinkie Pie and Caramel together.
• Magnetism:
  • Rarity apparently starts shipping Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash after hearing about their awkward bath together.
  • Apparently is replaced with blatantly in the last chapter when she and Pinkie try to erect a banner with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's face with a heart between them outside the Golden Oaks Library. Applejack, however, talks them into taking it down before either shipped pony can see it.
• Quite literally in The Meaning of Harmony, as the Mane Five reveal that they know about the attraction between Sunset and Twilight and support it wholeheartedly, while on the deck of a boat as they head over to the Forge in Hippocampus Bay.
• In The Melting Pot, a good part of the action is set off by Pinkie Pie telling Lyra and Bon-Bon they make a cute couple just before going on a trip. In the final chapter, Pinkie turns out to be subtly setting up several budding romances between background characters from the show.
• The Nuptialverse: A Running Gag in Families is that Pinkie Pie is convinced that Applejack and Twilight are in denial about their true feelings for each other.
• The Pieces Lie Where They Fell:
  • In the sequel Picking Up the Pieces, Sweet Surprise recognizes that Gentle Step has feelings for Memorizing Gaze that run deeper than friendship, and is in favor of the relationship. In chapter 12, Page Turner also informs Memorizing that she fully supports them. Memorizing's brothers are also in favor when they find out.
  • In the first omake chapter, Reel fully supports Gentle Step/Memorizing Gaze as a couple.
• In the Ponies of Olympus series, as revealed in Atlas Strongest Tournament, Sweetie Belle ships Spike with her sister, while Apple Bloom ships him with Scootaloo.
• Pony POV Series:
  • It's shown during Shining Armor's flashback arc that Cadence's hoofmaidens and at least some of Shining's squadmates shipped the two of them prior to their getting together. And they weren't subtle about it. At all.
  • Shining and Cadence themselves both get their own, more mild, examples of this — Cadence is working with the hoofmaidens to set up Private Running Gag and Private Garnet Chambers, while Shining has said on a couple of occasions that Captive Audience is the stallion he feels would be the best match for Twilight.
• Pinkie Pie ships Rainbow Dash and Sunny Breeze in Racer and the Geek.
• In RealityCheck's Nyxverse, Nyx (and all of Twilight's friends) are this for her and Ink Spot. And then it turns out that Celestia engineered their meeting, because she remembered that Ink Spot is Twilight's type.
• Cadance in the The Royal Family blog has had an obsession with shipping ponies that dates back to fillyhood.
• Shipping and Handling's basic plot is that, currently employed as a matchmaker, Derpy Hooves has to play Shipper on Deck for each of her assignments (with her first being Spike asking for an excuse for private time with Rarity).
• Taken up to eleven in with Rarity in the fanfic Shipping Goggles. Rarity apparently has a pair of shipping goggles welded to her head, as even the most innocent of interactions is treated as prime shipping fuel by the white unicorn, much to the frustration of Twilight, who can see Rarity shipping their friends.
• Sunsplit Saga: Sunset for Sunburst and Starlight, in multiple stories:
  • In Sunsplit, such as by bringing up that Starlight had nice legs.
  • In Sunshipped, Sunset Shimmer visits Equestria to ask Starlight Glimmer a question:
    "Hey, Glimglim—can I call you Glimglim? I've got a serious important question for you. Why aren't you snogging Sunburst yet?".
• Parodied in Tealove's Steamy Adventure. Big Jim the cave troll captures the ponies and treats them like toys. This includes shouting "SHIP PONAYS!" as he picks up Tealove and Snowcatcher, then tries to make them kiss. The other pony, Libra (who's not entirely right in the head), immediately agrees that they have such great chemistry together.
• This is the entire premise of the fanmade card game Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder. There's also an expansion pack which makes Discord the author instead.

Naruto

• Tsunade and Hanabi ship NaruHina in A Growing Affection. Tsunade offers to train Naruto and Hinata together, partly to help them get stronger, but also to give them a reason to spend time together. Hanabi is more than willing to run interference for Hinata with their family, at least until she gets angry at Naruto for an unrelated incident.
• I Am NOT Going Through Puberty Again!: Sakura and Naruto are this towards their friends. Sakura is especially fervent in her shipping of Lee/Tenten, and it's stated that the two best friends were responsible for Chouji/Karui and Kiba/Tamaki.
• Quite a few for different pairings in Kitsune no Ken: Fist of the Fox:
  • Ino actively ships Naruto and Hinata, even playing The Matchmaker to get the two of them together. Kabuto and Sasuke likewise approve of the two becoming an item, with Kabuto setting things up so Naruto and Hinata will dance together at the Hyuga family's annual ball, and Sasuke remarking, on seeing them dancing, that they look good together.
  • Both Hinata and Minato pair Yugito with Itachi; Hinata says at one point that she'd like to be the maid of honor at their wedding, and Minato frequently drops hints that Itachi should pursue Yugito.
  • Itachi seems to approve of Sasuke being with Sakura, at one point suggesting to his brother to ask the pink-haired girl out.
  • Lee enthusiastically ships Neji and Tenten, even despite Neji's loud protests that Tenten is only a classmate.
• Naru-Hina Chronicles:
  • When Naruto was too shy to talk to Hinata, Iruka helped him by telling him to go on a date with her and to treat it like an A-Rank mission. He then mentally noted that Naruto must really like Hinata given that he's never been a shy guy before, not even with Sakura.
  • Sakura expresses some happiness over seeing Naruto asking Hinata to go on a date with him for the first time, while Ino says "This is great, you guys." to Naruto and Hinata. Ino also gives Naruto some advice on where to take Hinata for that date. Granted, she does so while calling him an idiot for not having thought about it in the first place, but she just wants what's best for her friends.
  • In Chapter 4, Sakura teases Kiba over Mina's feelings for him, telling him to give Mina a chance regardless of how weird she is.
  • When Iruka visited Hotaru at the hospital, Ino could tell there was something between them. After they become a couple, Ino becomes quite enthusiastic at the idea of these two getting married, even before either Iruka or Hotaru brings it up.
  • After Hanabi tells Hinata that she ended up punching Konohamaru earlier that day out of nervousness, Hinata reassures her younger sister by telling her that he will likely forgive her because, much like Naruto, he's "very sweet, very kind and always forgiving." Later, during the Chunin Exam's final phase, Konohamaru ends up sitting next to Hanabi, much to the latter's happiness. When Hinata arrives, the boy assumes that he stole her seat, only for Hinata to tell him he can keep that seat, finding it cute that they made up.
  • Gaara notices how happy Temari is whenever Shikamaru is present. When the latter is leaving Suna alongside Naruto, Gaara encourages his sister to properly say goodbye to Shikamaru, making Temari realize that her feelings must have been quite obvious.
  • When Guy and Lee are about to leave a karaoke bar, the former notices Arekusu's disappointment. Quickly realizing she's attracted to Lee, he tells his student to stay and keep her company.

  • After learning that Kei allowed Sai to touch her breasts, Mina suggests to the former that maybe she should date him.
• In Naruto Veangance Revelaitons, an odd variant of this happens when Ronan's girlfriend Sakura, meets Atni for the first time (While Sakura was dead after being killed by the Council, Ronan met Atni and had sex with her several times).
  Sakura: OMG WHO IS DIS WHOT BITCH CAN U FUK HER/"
• Kushina in New Chance. Considering how when she died she became a ghost that hovered around Naruto until Time Travel and a resurrection happened, she tries to make him happy and thusly ships NaruHina. To an unhealthy degree. If Minato wasn't around reminding her the two are only 12 and stopping some of her more blatant or outlandish attempts to get them together, she'd be giving both a Shotgun Wedding.
• Of the River and the Sea has the Mumei, who are quite invested in the relationships between the Kiri no Kaijuu and how it will pan out. Beyond that, Haku ships Zabuza/Ryuishi because they're basically his parents, Itachi - by Word of God - ships Kisame/Ryuishi because they were the only ones to have sympathy for him after the massacre, Sakura ships Kakashi/Ryuishi because she thinks it's so romantic and Hanako ships Zabuza/Kisame because she outright worships Ryuishi and doesn't believe in Divine Date.
  • On a more serious note, the Hidden Mist would like to use Ryuishi's political, social and economical influence and power, which could be attained by marrying her to a high-ranking, loyal Kiri operative. Such as Zabuza - one of the Seven Swordsmen - who happened to be very close with Ryuishi.
• Son of the Sannin:
  • Shizune quickly picks up that Hinata has a crush on Naruto, so she gives her a little push to get the two to play together on a swing and become friends.
  • Kaida and Hagane yell at Naruto to not hurt Hinata too much during their match in the Chūnin Exam finals or else she won't marry him.
  • Hinata's mother also picks up on how much her daughter tries to impress Naruto, and encourages her to continue doing so. She also notices that Neji has seem to have taken a liking to Karin.
  • Hanabi is very supportive of her sister's relationship with Naruto, something she makes it very clear to Toneri when she faces him.
  • Both Kiba and Tamaki give Shino a thumbs up when he starts developing feelings for Fu. In turn, they are shipped by Hinata and Haku.
  • Hashirama, of all people, is all too happy to welcome Shisui to his family.
  • By Chapter 72, Ino regularly brings Sai to train with her team, and Shikamaru and Choji already consider them a couple.
• True Potential:
  • Both Shikamaru and Anko ship Naruto and Hinata, with the former two each having at least one instance where they decide to Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone. Kurotsuchi is also in favor of Naruto and Hinata ending up together, as shown during the final part of the Konoha Chūnin Exams. There's also Sakura, who gets excited when Naruto confirms to her that he and Hinata are dating.
  • Naruto and Hinata themselves ship Shikamaru with Kurotsuchi, with the former two teasing their teammate over his feelings towards her. Even his parents already assume before meeting her that she's his girlfriend when he invites her for dinner.
  • Tayuya has tried shipping the long-suffering Han with just about anyone.
• In the one-shot Vessel of Love, while in Sakura's hospital room, Naruto and Sasuke have a conversation where the latter learns that the former still hasn't responded to Hinata's Love Confession. Not only does Sasuke criticize Naruto for not talking to her, but when Hinata enters the room, he elbows his friend in the gut and gives him a look that the narration describes as "Here's your chance you cowardly idiot. You better take it or I'll beat the living shit out of you."

Neon Genesis Evangelion

• Advice and Trust:
  • Misato shipped Shinji and Asuka together (the fic started as a one-shot story where Misato encouraged Shinji to win Asuka over and gave him tips). Kaji also ships them together. The hilarious part is how Shinji and Asuka are now acting as they used to and leaving them to just assume that the pilots are still deep in the Belligerent Sexual Tension phase, when they are in fact very together.
  • Exaggerated with Rei. To her, Shinji and Asuka's romance is the single most beautiful thing in the world, and she would do anything to make sure that they can be happy together. Merely implying that you might be a threat to that is a Berserk Button for her (as Kaworu quickly found out).
  • Shinji and Asuka also ship their best friends Touji and Hikari. And after getting over her crush (in part thanks to Shinji), Asuka encouraged Misato to going out with Kaji. And then the two of them toy around with the idea of shipping Rei with Kaworu (after making sure that he isn't a SEELE spy).
• A Crown of Stars: A good number of characters ship Shinji and Asuka together.
  • Their Avaloni allies and friends (including the freaking God Emperors of the place) spent a bunch of chapters encouraging them to get over their fears and traumas and trying to get together.
  • The returned members of the Evangelion cast (Misato, Kaji, Hikaru, Touji...) were happy to see them together.
  • When they met Rei and Kaworu, the latter smiled when he saw Shinji and Asuka holding hands. The former... not so much.
• EVA Sessions: Someplace Vast and Dry: Rei often teases Asuka over the latter's not-so-secret lingering feelings for her brother Shinji.
• Evangelion 303:
  • Jessika shipped Shinji and Asuka together, despite being in love with Asuka.
  • Gendo also ships Shinji and Asuka... or at least he is not willing to interfere with his son's love life (as long as it does not interfere with his plans, at least).
• Ghosts of Evangelion: Misato ships Shinji and Asuka together. After they get together she organizes trips for them and sometimes she asks when they will get married.
• A Glass of Wine: After the mission in the volcano, Misato points to Asuka that Shinji also feels phantom pains after every mission as part of a scheme to put them together.
• HERZ: Rei supported Shinji/Asuka and made sure that they got together and became happy.
• Long Time No See: Shinji ships his son Kenji with Toji and Hikari's daughter, Hanako. On the other hand, Kenji's mother thinks Hanako is a brat, and a polite, nice girl as Hanako's sister Shizuka would be much better for him.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: Hikari ships Shinji and Asuka together. So does Misato, although she'd settle for them learning how to get along well.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion: That Which Could (Not) Happen: Every so often, Misato will try to get Shinji realize that Asuka is in love with him, and they should get together.
• Nobody Dies: Rei was apparently shipping Shinji/Asuka ten years before the three of them even met each other. She also somehow hooked up Toji and Hikari during the unseen Third Angel fight, and later claims to be shipping Shinji/Asuka's and Toji/Hikari's hypothetical future children. This seems to be a universal trait among the Ree (they all ship Shinji/Asuka, except Zyuu, who wants Shinji for herself), and Lilith herself seems to ship everyone/everyone as part of her desire for babies.
• Once More With Feeling (Crazy-88): Shinji tries (and manages) to hook Touji and Hikari up. He also tries to set Rei up with Kensuke. Kaji also gives tips to Shinji for winning Asuka over. Inverted when Shinji tells Kaji how his death left Misato devastated in the original timeline, and the older man decides to stop flirting with her until the Angels, Gendo and SEELE are all safely defeated, not wanting her to be heartbroken if he dies again.
• Redemption Song: Neither Shinji nor Asuka seem to have noticed, but everyone in Village-3 are rooting for them getting over their issues and getting together.
• The Great Snowball Battle Trilogy:
  • Asuka and Mari come up with a "Capture the Flag" game as a way to try to get Hikari and Toji together.
  • Mari goes great lengths to ensure that Shinji and Asuka end up -and stick- together, including to spy on their first date to make sure that everything goes smoothly.
• In The Second Try:
  • Misato is a Shinji/Asuka shipper. Ironically she doesn’t know that they already got together.
  • Hikari tries to hint to Shinji that Asuka likes him. Ironically she doesn’t know that he’s quite aware of it since he's her husband.
  • Shinji and Asuka ship Touji and Hikari -and played matchmaker for them successfully-, and they secretly ship Misato and Kaji.

Odd Squad

• Full Circle: Olympia and Oona embody this trope to such an extent that shipping is Serious Business for them. They even engage in war via full-on invoked Ship-to-Ship Combat at one point, with Oona wielding a projector and Olympia wielding a binder as weapons, which Oprah and Otis have both witnessed numerous times before. Oona ships Olive and Oscar, who are actually Amicable Exes, while Olympia ships Olive and Otto, who have a sibling-like relationship. Of course, since this is a story about Olive and Oscar, Oona ends up on top, which leaves Olympia bitter.

Once Upon a Time (2011)

• A Comedy of Errors: Gold is revealed to ship Emma and Regina having seen how they look at each other and even celebrates them kissing at the end.
• In That One Time Emma Accidentally Summoned a Succubus (doh!) (Link), Emma accidentally summons a succubus that greatly ships her and Regina.

One Piece

• In the Marineford Misery arc of This Bites!, Dragon tells Boa Hancock that she has his blessing in trying to date his son Luffy. Hancock smiles and blushes like a schoolgirl.

Persona

• In One Year, Hitomi ships Yu Narukami, one of her old friends, with her best friend, Sakura Takahashi, to the point at which this is one reason Hitomi doesn't go after him herself, the other being that she's in an Arranged Marriage. Unfortunately for Hitomi, Yu fell in love with Yukiko while he was in Inaba, and so has to turn down everyone else.
• In Wings of Rebellion, there's not just one, but ten people shipping Akechi and Akira. There's Sojiro, who's the first to notice Akechi's feelings and to ship them, then all the Phantom Thieves (except Makoto if only because she's not interested in those kinds of things), then Caroline and Justine, and then, last but not least, Akira's mom of all people.

Pokémon

• Champion Clashes:
  • At the end of "The New Leaf," Elaine looks on with a big smile as Leaf hugs Jermaine and kisses his cheek as thanks for him battling her again after he beats her in their World Coronation Series match.
  • In "The Champions," Becca invites Jermaine out to dinner with her at a new local restaurant as a further display of congratulations for him beating her in their World Coronation Series battle and becoming the World Champion. He asks if his other friends can join them, but Becca says she just wants it to be her and him. He briefly feels apprehension, but the rest of his friends strongly encourage him to have dinner with Becca. At the end of the chapter, his friends notice the accidental Sigh of Love he lets out while telling them how much fun he had being around Becca during his dinner date with her.
• A Champion's Delight opens with Delia subtly encouraging Cynthia to eat more and gain weight while the Sinnoh Champion is staying with the Ketchums while recovering from a seriously broken leg, as Delia is aware that Ash has an interest in larger women (to be clear, she doesn't force Cynthia to eat more but encourages her appetite regardless). As Ash and Cynthia's relationship deepens, Anabel of the Battle Frontier also comes to support Ash and Cynthia's growing dynamic, as she appreciates the positive emotions she feels when they interact and decides to stick around to feel more of these.
• Lilia from the remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire returns in Dating a Team Magma Grunt and is introduced by Brendan to his girlfriend. While it is tame at first, and she admits her plan to get the Magma and Aqua Grunts to compete in a competition for Brendan was more out of hosting a contest with more participants rather than shipping him with a specific girl, she's clearly loving the moment he and the Magma Grunt share their first kiss.
• Kalos Quests: Near the end of "The Terrors," Gwynn flashes a knowing, mischievous grin after Jermaine and Serena look at each other in a dreamy fashion for quite some time as the three Trainers ride on top of Alpha Ghost-type Pokémon (Gastly for Gwynn, Haunter for Serena, and Gengar for Jermaine) during a nighttime flight in the sky above Lumiose City. Later on, Gwynn asks Jermaine and Serena if they're a couple and lightly teases them about it. Jermaine and Serena blush intensely. They're so dumbfounded that they don't respond to Gwynn's words.
• Kanto Kickups:
  • Implied with Misty. At the beginning of "The Tomboy Mermaid", she asks Jermaine and Leaf if they're a couple. They say they're Just Friends, but Misty responds with a smirk.
  • In "The Knot Island", Jermaine's parents assume he's going to begin a romantic relationship with Leaf after he tells them he's going on a vacation in the Sevii Islands with her. This makes Jermaine a little flustered.
• All over the place in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines:
  • Ash's Pikachu apparently ships his trainer with Serena, given his reaction to finding out that he actually kept in contact with her this time around. The sidestory focused on their first meeting shows that Ash and Serena's respective mothers approve of them becoming close, and Gary quickly picks up that Serena is smitten with Ash.
    • That said, Pikachu seems to be in favour of the idea of Ash getting involved with any or all of his major travelling companions, to the point that he expresses disgust at the idea that May or Dawn could have been interested in Drew or Kenny back in the original timeline.
  • Misty's Psyduck frequently encourages her to "mate" with Ash, and her Gyarados later agrees, Ash's courage and his dedication to her having impressed him. Several characters, like the Team Rocket trio, Paul and Giselle assumed that Misty was Ash's girlfriend upon seeing them together. Meanwhile, Iris admits to being attracted to Ash, but she makes it clear she wouldn't mind sharing him with Misty, and is shown to be quite happy when they share romantic moments.
  • In the Arnold Interlude side story, Arnold's mom Anna is quick to see Laila as a potential daughter-in-law.
  • At the end of the Jeanette Interlude, A.J's Sandslash and Jeanette's Bellsprout quickly pick up that their trainers have become attracted to one another, and agree to help them get together during a special occasion during Valentine's Day or Christmas.

• In Pokemon: Shadow of Time, it is noted that most of Ash's Kanto/Johto team were in favour of Ash and Misty getting together while most of his Hoenn team favoured a relationship between Ash and May. While his Sinnoh and Unova teams haven't expressed a preference for Ash's potential partner yet, his Kalos team all act as though the very idea of Ash not knowing Serena in some way breaks a fundamental law of the universe, while Goomy is all for the idea of Ash mating with Serena or having multiple other mates as Goomy's evolutionary line are apparently naturally polygamous.
  • Interestingly, Pikachu himself has expressed no preference, having explicitly mused at one point that he just wants 'Ashlings' to play with in his old age.
• Taro, Lucille's talking doll in Tales of Faith, loves shipping the members of the Crystal Bearers together, much to their embarrassment (or annoyance). He ships Luca/Vanille, Arturo/Natalia, Cress/Irvine, and even he could see the slightly blossoming relationship of Elazul/Marian after meeting the two. He ships Luca/Vanille the most that throughout the final arc, he enjoys watching them squirm and blush.

Power Rangers

• This is pretty much the entire point of Of Love and Bunnies. All of the original Power Rangers and, eventually, all of the Rangers want Tommy and Kim to get back together.
• Practically everyone in Power Rangers GPX ships Red Ranger Sean and Yellow Ranger Maria (except for Pink Ranger Hitomi). They (Sean and Maria) eventually get together. Maria in turn, ships Gold Ranger Ritchie and his Love Interest Janet Redwater and former antagonists-turned good guys Arquen and Eruvanda, who are already in a relationship.

Pretty Cure

• Glitter Force: Into the Glitterverse: In "Sleepover", Jewel and Isabella are instantly intrigued when they hear that Mikayla had a lunch date with a boy, and pry for details. They are subsequently disappointed when Mikayla tells them that nothing interesting actually happened.

Rango

• Eventually in Old West, Priscilla asks Teddy if his mother Grace is going to be married to Rattlesnake Jake. Having never had a father for his entire life, the boy finds himself liking the idea of his loving mother and the outlaw he admires together and starts getting ideas for how to make that happen.

RWBY

• An Arc for every season:
  • Kali wants Blake and Jaune to get together in Team MILF.
  • Weiss wants Jaune to marry Winter and become her big brother for real in Zettai RWBY.
• at least it was here (Link): Everyone knows that Pyrrha has a crush on Jaune, and quickly realize that Jaune likewise has a crush on Pyrrha before he manages to realize it himself. Nora tries to get them together, but both Jaune and Pyrrha are convinced that the other isn't interested in dating them and refuse to even bring up the idea out of fear of ruining their friendship, with Jaune in particular seeing Nora's instance that he confess to be a cruel joke at his expense; especially after he misunderstands a series of conversations and comes to believe that Pyrrha is dating Weiss.
• A blogger rewrote Can You Feel The Love Tonight from a shipper's perspective — specifically, that of Nora Valkyrie as she spies on Jaune and Pyrrha.
  The sweet caress of twilight
  There’s magic everywhere
  And with all this romantic atmosphere-
  God, why don't they just kiss?!
• Children of Remnant: Yang encourages Pyrrha to tell Jaune about her feelings for him, hoping that by stepping up and taking charge then Jaune will be all for it. It gets much more complicated when she realizes that Blake is also in love with him.
• Cinderella And Prince Charming: Salem, of all people, finds Cinder/Jaune to be adorable, and keeps offering suggestions to get them closer.
• Coeur Al'Aran:
  • Arcanum: Despite her initial distrust of Ruby, Juniper starts suggesting that Ruby and Jaune would make a good couple after Ruby rescues Jaune from the Collegium.
  • Arc Corp: Ruby, despite having her own "secret" crush on Jaune, is this for him and Blake, being skeptical of the latter's unwillingness to even attempt pursuing a relationship, especially once Blake finally admits to her that she really is attracted to Jaune. Meanwhile, everyone else is under the assumption that the duo are already dating and regard the perceived relationship with varying degrees of support (or the opposite thereof).
  • In Your Wildest Dreams: Downplayed. When Jaune starts talking about his love life, Ren admits that he's a bit surprised that he's dating Yang, as he always assumed that Jaune would have started dating Ruby in a year or so if Pyrrha still proved unable to confess her feelings by then. When a confused Jaune asks him to explain, he points out that the two have a very close friendship and that Jaune is the only guy close to her age that Ruby regularly interacts with.
  • White Sheep: Salem ships Jaune with any female who gets close to him—not generally, but specifically. One chapter has her studying all his potential suitors and coming up with reasons why he should choose each one. Then she decides he can just Marry Them All. Jaune disagrees, and is in a monogamous relationship with Yang, though he eventually has children with both her and Ruby.
• The fic Matchmaking Madness (Link) has all of Team RWBY as this for Jaune and Pyrrha; all four of them attempt a Zany Scheme to get the two to hook up. While all of their attempts fail, the two still end up becoming a couple, thanks to the efforts of Cardin, who happens to be this for them as well.
• The RWBY Loops has Ruby react to any ship with glee, so long as it doesn't involve her. It's implied she does this mostly to combat her own loneliness during loops where nobody else is present, and generally avoids causing issues for actual relationships.
• RWBY: Reckoning has Blake and Ruby supporting Yang and Darrel's attraction to each other. Blake outright states that the two would make a cute couple.
• Weiss very much ships Ruby with Aero in Shard and isn't to happy with the failed attempts to push them together during the day at the beach chapter.
• Trials of a Workaholic features Yang and Blake shipping, with rather more vehemence than most examples.
  "PYRRHA'S SMOKIN’ HOT AND SHE’S IN NOTHIN’ BUT BOXERS AND A TANK TOP." Yang crowed as Blake wolf-whistled. "BOY IS SHE FIIIIIIIIINE."
  "I will kill both of you!” Pyrrha snapped as she covered her phone. “With my bare hands!”
• Weiss Reacts has Yang for Ruby and Weiss. Due to the events of the Music Festival, the pair becomes a reality as of chapter 72 of Volume 1.
• Exaggerated in the fic Team RWBY: Master Matchmakers (Link), where Ruby is so hell-bent on getting Jaune and Pyrrha together that she convinces the entire student body to help her.

Sonic the Hedgehog

• A New Life Era: "The Hacker" is this for his son. He eventually gets his way.

Spider-Man

• A Spectacular Spider:
  • After Jermaine tells his family that he has crushes on both Gwen and MJ, his family say that emotions, feelings, and relationships are complicated. His mother and sisters tell him to just be honest with Gwen and MJ. By the same token, his father tells him to be fair to Gwen and MJ. His father also stresses that Jermaine shouldn't wait too long to confess his feelings.
  • On New Year's Eve, Jermaine is left home alone when his parents and sisters go to big parties. His family encourage him to invite Gwen and MJ over.

Star Trek

• Star Trek: Mirror implies that Uhura is this for Kirk and Spock following her apparent break-up with the latter.
• Star Trek: Lower Decks:
  • What is Love? opens with Boimler making what may be a Dying Declaration of Love to Mariner before he triggers a "minor" warp core breach and suffers serious injuries to save another ship, leaving Mariner to deal with her conflicting feelings on Boimler's apparent confession as various parties express their opinion on such a relationship, ranging from Tendi's approval to Shaxs essentially telling her not to bother if she feels she can't commit. Once Boimler regains consciousness, he and Mariner each acknowledge that they are essentially this for Tendi and Rutherford; when Boimler affirms that he hasn't just been pretending to be Mariner's friend to sleep with her, the two end up discussing who they think are the hottest five people on the Cerritos, and each acknowledge that Tendi doesn't make the list because they keep picturing her with Rutherford even if they can agree that she's attractive.
  • Crisis Point III: Shadows & Mirrors (set after the series finale) has T'Lynn of all people show an interest in the other 'lower deckers' pairing off, as she arranges for Rutherford to become Tendi's new roommate while Boimler and Mariner are now sharing Ransom's old quarters, albeit presenting it as a 'logical' relocation to maximise efficiency.
• Most of the humour in the fic Written in the Stars (in which the Kirks of both realities have been gender flipped) comes from Kirk Prime trying to get her counterpart to hook up with Spock. This is justified in that Kirk Prime and Spock Prime were married in their own reality, and Kirk Prime just wants her counterpart to be happy. She succeeds.
• The Wrong Reflection has Eleya's family, for her and Gaarra. Note that at this point Eleya and Gaarra are already together, but they're keeping the relationship a secret for legal reasons.
  Kanril Torvo: So, when are you two getting married? [Spit Take from Eleya]

Star vs. the Forces of Evil

• Stars and Waves:
  • The day after Jermaine introduces Jackie and Star to each other, he tells Star that he's been crushing on Jackie for roughly a year now. Star encourages him to confess his feelings to Jackie. He's apprehensive about doing so because he doesn't want to ruin his friendship with Jackie. Jackie being so athletic and so beautiful is another reason. Star understands where he's coming from, but she still wants him to at least think about telling Jackie how he feels about her. Star also assures him that he's a good person who deserves happiness and love.
  • Over the course of several months, Jermaine gradually develops a crush on Star because of everything she does for him and how much fun he always has hanging out with her. He hesitates to confess his feelings for her because he doesn't want to destroy their friendship, especially since they haven't known each other that long. Additionally, he doesn't think he's good enough for her because she's literally a beautiful, magical princess from another dimension. He also still has a crush on Jackie and grows even more apprehensive about coming clean to her. After he confides in his family about all of this, they advise him to just be honest with Jackie and Star. They also reassure him that the girls will still want to be his friends regardless of his romantic feelings for them.
  • One Friday night near the beginning of Jermaine and Star's sophomore year, she hosts a Slumber Party and invites Jackie. Star also invites Hekapoo and StarFan13. He becomes incredibly nervous about being so close to Jackie and Star for an extended amount of time. Hekapoo senses his anxiety and lightly teases him about his crushes. However, Hekapoo also says Jackie and Star are lucky to have him in their lives. StarFan13 expresses similar sentiments and even openly admits she ships him with Jackie and Star, having written much fan fiction about it. Other than feeling flabbergasted, he doesn't know how to respond to what StarFan13 said. Despite that, he still thanks Hekapoo and StarFan13 for their votes of confidence.

Stargate-verse

• Bless the Children: Ship Version features Daniel Jackson essentially adopting Danny, a clone of Daniel with his knowledge and memories up to the moment when Daniel witnessed the deaths of his parents.

  • While Sam lies to herself about her feelings, and Daniel accepts her rejection, Jack, Janet and Jacob each express approval at the idea of the two of them forming a relationship, and Teal'c also approves of the idea.

Total Drama

• In A Codette World Tour, DJ notices Cody and Bridgette's developing feelings for each other and roots for the two of them to get together (as well as occasionally teasing Bridgette about it). Noah also observes Cody's growing crush on Bridgette and even makes a bet with Cody that the two will hook up by the end of the season.
• Total Drama Comeback Series has a couple of examples:
  • In the first story, there's a prom-themed challenge where the couples are chosen by an In-Universe fan poll. In a more specific example, Gwen winds up with Cody not because it's an actual Fan-Preferred Couple, but because Cody's nine-year-old cousin hacked the poll.
  • The Original Character Crystal exists for this reason, shipping everyone together and making meta-references to things like Portmanteau Couple Names and Crack Ships.
  • Various characters have started taking sides in the Eva/][[ChivalrousPervert Cody]][=/Anita Love Triangle, with most of the interested parties supporting Eva.

Totally Spies!

• In Totally Spies: The Sean Saga, Clover, once she confronts Sean on his feelings for Sam in "Evil Boyfriend", decides to try and help get them together in order to keep their friends together, though when Sean reveals that he only wants to do it if she wants to, she decides to instead help by giving subtle advice to him, like telling him her favorite smoothie flavor.

Transformers

• In the Black Crayons series, Annabelle Lennox is waiting rather impatiently for Ironhide and Chromia to realize they belong together.
• In Things We Don't Tell Humans, Optimus Prime is this for Bumblebee and Barricade, and perhaps for Sam and Carly, too. Jazz and Prowl have a whole fleet of shippers, consisting of their son, Jazz’ parents, Ratchet, Optimus and Elita, Megatron, Terratron, and likely more. Prowl, in turn, ships Ratchet and Wheeljack.
• In Thundercracker's Glory, Glory catches on that Thundercracker and Skywarp's friendship may be something more, and ends up locking them in a closet together until they confess their feelings for each other.

WITCH

• In Ripples, Queen Weira is shown to constantly be hoping that Phobos and Van will have a Relationship Upgrade, even at one point mentally referring to the latter as her "future daughter-in-law".

Worm

• Here Comes the New Boss: Callum promotes the idea that Elpis and Parian are involved, because they've been seen together and Elpis came to her defence. Frankie shuts him down by pointing out the dearth of actual evidence. (Taylor tries very hard not to visibly react, even though the Butchers are laughing at her.)
  Frankie: I mean, I get it- lady knight and doll in a poofy dress, it's cute, especially with Elpis being, like, a foot taller; but I need evidence to ship people.

X-Men

• X-Men: The Early Years: Initially, the guys all agree Jean is off limits. At the end of the story, though, Hank encourages Scott to tell Jean how he feels.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

• Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

Zootopia

• Count the Ways: Romance for Dummies: When Nick reconnects with his mother not long after the reptile case, she very quickly gleans that her son has fallen hard for Judy and is ecstatically happy for him, brushing off his flimsy denials and insisting he bring her over for dinner. Once she meets Judy, she absolutely loves her, and privately tells Nick not to let her go and gently encourages him to be honest about his feelings. (She also exchanges contact info with Judy, and it's implied they talk about Nick a lot, to his horror when he finds out.)

Others

• The Gaang Jr. fan-project gives us Yi Lin, a walking riff on the Avatar fandom's shipping community. She's obsessed with other people's love lives and hides all her collected "Proof" in a book supposedly about...well, ships. She's a Tyzula fangirl in particular, although she can't get other people to see it (and if they ever do see it, they're not going to tell her since it would just make her harder to live with).
