I have been rediscovering different anime fandoms I haven't read in a while and it got me thinking about my (slightly obsessive) pairing choices, I have come to realise I don't much mind about the main pairs it's the 'canon' pairings of the other characters I am totally inflexible about. So just because otherwise I'll be thinking about it all day I thought I'd post and ramble on about it.
Although I have a definite preference for 1x2 I really don't mind who Heero or Duo are paired with (so long as it is well written) I enjoy either (or both) of them with Wufei for example. 2xH, not a favourite but OK. The only exception being I have a wild (and irrational) dislike for 1xR, though I enjoy friendship fics for them.
Only one thing: Quatre and Trowa are clearly a couple. I am unmovable about this, you can break them up (whether temporarily or permanently) kill one of them off, whatever you like, (though happily together will give me a nice warm happy feeling). Just as long as you remember they are the loves of each others lives, even when they are only a small side story in your fic or barely mentioned at all. Otherwise I get all upset and sulk for the rest of the day :-).
In Ouran high school host club Mori and Hunni belong together. I really don't mind who the other characters are paired with, if they're all after Haruhi, all gay or a midway point but Mori and Hunni remain the focus of each others worlds.... Why? Because I said so, I must have my stable couple in my fics.
Prince of Tennis- I like almost any pairing you care to mention (unless it involves Sakuno who irritates me beyond all sense, she's so wet, now Ann I like) there is one exception - and this is very important - the golden pair is a must. They are clearly in love and of all of them are the only pairing I really believe will last (after all how many people actually stay with the person they loved when they were 14). If the silver pair appear they should also be together because they're so cute and sweet together and.... Anyway *clears throat* remember that Eiji and Oishi belong together, so there.
Bleach- I have come to realise I don't actually care about any of the main characters at all. My inner Bleach fangirl is more interested in the various Shinigami characters from soul society. Hitsugaya is the closest to a main character of my favourites. I like Hitsugaya & Matsumoto and the 11th division four, Ukitake and Shunsui (BTW those last two definitely belong together) and Hisagi Shuhei. my pairings here are a bit more fluid (except where the Captains are concerned) but I do love to see Yumichika and Ikkaku together :-).
Well anyway I'm not sure what this says except I like my steady long-term established couples (well as established as they can be when we're talking about teenagers or people who have just met, or teenagers who've just met). Actually this post is mostly pointless and probably sounds like I'm trying to tell people what to write *winces* not my intention. The funny thing is when it comes to TV series fandoms like Highlander and Mag 7 I'm all about the main characters and really couldn't care less what who the minor characters are paired with. I'm also more likely to support a het pairing than I am in anime fandoms, I think that probably has something to do with the way girls are portrayed in a lot of animes.

I also have less of a tolerance level for angst than I used to, especially relationship angst. I tend to read and think no they wouldn't do that, and it does a number on my emotional state. I prefer my angst to come from something outside and they work together through whatever it is. I still like a good whumping, but there has to be teh comfort as well as the hurt.
Sadly, there's not as much 3x4 out there to read as there used to be, especially new stuff that is actually worth reading. *sigh*

Most of the GW fic I used to read were Duo or Heero centric and I enjoy seeing the background 3x4 in them just knowing there they are and together makes me happy whatever else is going on. I have been getting more and more into 3x4 centric fics but any well written fic where they are together ^_^.
Any fic where they aren't together just makes me sad
