My nextgen OTP is definitely Scorpius/Rose. I can read other pairings but I keep coming back to these two. Unsurprisingly perhaps, I also enjoy all the epilogue compliant OTPs, including Draco/Asteria and Harry/Ginny. Though my OTP would have to be Ron/Hermione as I cannot read about them with anyone else.

I don't have any Crossgen OTPS but I do love reading Draco/Rose, Asteria/Teddy, Ginny/Scorpius and I wish there was more Pansy/Rose and Pansy/Lily in the world (why isn't there more?)

Never thought about Pansy/Rose, but then again, I haven't really explored next gen that much. I like the idea of Ginny/Scorpius

[nerak_rose]

Hugo/Scorpius seems to be my favourite atm. :D I can't even explain properly what it is I love so much about them <.< They're just such a lovely, adorable couple in my mind. :) ♥

Teddy/James comes pretty close to be my OTP as well (tell you a secret, I have a million OTPs really). ♥ I love the age difference and I like the idea of making one of Harry's kids gay or bi or whatever. (I have a soft spot for James/Scorpius as well, but in the end Teddy/James wins out on that pairing.)

[imera]

Looks like we have pretty close likes. While I do love Teddy/James, I love James slightly more with Scorpius, not that it's that much of a difference in how much I like them, I ended up writing both two fics for Teddy fest, one with James and one with Scorpius, lot's of fun writing Teddy/Scorpius.

Scorpius/Hugo is my all time favourite next gen OTP, so other pairings must get in line if they want love from me right now :P

i've yet to write a james/scorpius fic. well, i did sort of write one once, but it was more of a casual/past thing for them with james being paired up with teddy in that one. i haven't done a proper one, but i want to, someday. :) (heeeh, i wrote for teddyfest last year and that was a teddy/scorpius fic :D)

same! i could write teddy/james if i set my mind to it, but almost all the nextgen fic i've written recently has been hugo/scorpius. ♥ i've two fests coming up i've signed up for with that pairing in mind. i wanted to do it for the NGBB too, but as it stands i don't think i'll have the time to write for it :(

<3 such lovely pairings.

I did think I wanted to try a Scorpius/Hugo pairing for this BB, but none of the ideas seemed to be working. It wasn't until after I decided not to sign up that a plot suddenly hit me :P maybe next time

I'm a Potter/Malfoy mushball, so I like the ASS ship for NextGen. However, I've peeked at some Teddy/James and I definitely liked what I saw. As for crossgen in nextgen, I haven't really read enough to form an opinion...however, I'll be writing Harry/Scorpius (I think) for this BB!

[imera]

ASS is such a sweet couple, most times :D And Teddy is a character I love, don't be afraid of exploring him

[fiddery]

The first NextGen pairing I ever shipped was AS/S (which then turned me to H/D, because the last time I was in the fandom was back in 2003 when my OTP was Dramione HAHA).

BUT, I think my current NextGen OTP is James/Scorpius! I think I like it because it's still a way to bring the Potter/Malfoy families together, but they aren't mini-me versions of Harry and Draco, haha.

I don't think I am too interested in cross-gen couples, though I would like to read a fic where Teddy has one-sided feelings for Harry. Or a fic where other people mistakenly believe there is something going on between Harry and Teddy (even though there's not)...

My nextgen OTP is AS/S. I suppose it is because I´m a very devoted H/D-shipper - it just feels so wrong to pair a Potter with anyone but a Malfoy! Only exception is when it stays firmly within the family: I like Albus/James, Draco/Scorpius and Harry/Albus (which makes me quite the perv, now that I think about it).
