Pairings I Ship Meme
DC Universe Version
01. "One True Pairing" Ship: Flash/Barry & Kid Flash/Wally
At the moment anyways. Before it was Bart and Wally. And before them was Kyle and Wally. The reason why I like Barry and Wally is their relationship in general. With Bart and Wally, it's their lack of relationship. I really want Bart and Wally to have one. And then there's Kyle and Wally. It probably has to do with the whole Flash and Green Lantern tradition thing, where they like become heterosexual life partners. Or so I read off of TVTropes.
02. "One True Threesome" Ship: None
I don't really have one. I sometimes read Bart, Kon, and Tim as a threesome. Them, and Dick, Roy, and Wally. Though, I would like to see a Barry, Hal, and Ollie fanfic, ever since I found out that Barry and Ollie had to fought over Hal. You can learn more about it on scans_daily. That, or Barry, Bruce, and Clark. Or even a foursome between Guy, Hal, John, and Kyle.
03. Canon Ship: None
I don't ship any in particular. Most canon pairings I read, I prefer them as side pairings. I do like Jay and Joan, and Barry and Iris together. However, not so much with Linda and Wally. They're probably the most stable relationships, if not more consistent than others I have ever seen.
04. "Not quite canon but should be" Ship: Booster Gold/Michael & Blue Beetle/Ted
They're adorable, even as heterosexual life partners. I also think Arthur and Diana should being together, after reading Flashpoint. (Refer to question one for more information.)
05. "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: Artemis & Kid Flash/WallyI really don't want them to end up together. And even though Connor and M'gann did, but I still don't really support them either. Or Dick and Zatanna. It's really hard for me to get into canon pairings, and especially popular pairings like Dick and Wally. (Refer to question three for more information.)
06. "You are one sick bastard" Ship: Anyone with Batman/Bruce
Well, not exactly. I just don't like reading anything about him in generaI. Or his relationships. I don't think anyone is a sick bastard because of it. To be honest, you can't really avoid him in fanfics. Lots of people like him, and incorporate him into their work, so I do ended up reading about him occasionally.
07. "I'm one sick bastard" Ship: Captain Marvel/Billy & Kid Flash/Wally
I haven't read any fanfics on them, but I totally ship them. Bart and Wally was going to be my answer, but I already talked about them. Before them, I was going to put down Barry and Wally for obvious reasons. I didn't though, since I already mentioned them in question one. And it's not really that sick, if you think about it. I suggest reading this and this, if you give them a chance. Other than that, I tend to avoid mentor and sidekick relationships. Although my sister has been slowly converting me. But I still don't see the appeal of Bruce and Dick though.
08. "I dabble a little" Ship: Nightwing/Dick & Flash/WallyThey're really sexy together, in my opinion. I think it has to do with the spandex and, or tights. I also like Bart and Tim quite a bit. Connor and Wally too. And let's not forget Roy and Wally.
09. "It's like a car crash" Ship: Black Canary/Dinah & Green Arrow/OllieShe could do so much better, in my opinion. So much better. Them, and Artemis and M'gann. I think if they weren't on the same team, they would have definitely fought over Connor. Because of their personalities, I don't think they'll ever be best friends. Artemis and Zatanna friendship makes more sense than Artemis and M'gann. Same with M'gann and Zatanna.
10. "Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" Ship: Black Canary/Dinah & Superboy/Connor It works, but there hasn't been any fanfics that really made them love them. Same with Kaldur and Wally, and Kon and Bart.
11. "Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" Ship: Creeper/Jack & Flash/Wally
I really want to write a fanfic about them. Seriously. I also want to to write about Barry as Hot Pursuit, and pair him up with Wally. Because canonically they haven't met yet.
12. "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Robin/Dick & Kid Flash/WallyI prefer them when they're older. Them, and Bruce and Clark. I just don't feel it with most canon and fanon pairings. Mostly the popular ones when it comes to fanon pairings. (Refer to question three and five for more information.)
13. "When all is said and done" Ship: Flash/Barry & Flash/WallyThey don't even have to be a couple, I just love how Wally wants to be Barry so much. Has so much respect for Barry, and looks forward to having his uncle back. I also want Barry and Bart to work too, not as a couple, but as a family. Because I think Bart deserves that much, after what he has been through.
14. "Guilty Pleasure" Ship: Anyone with Flash/Wally (or Kid Flash/Wally)Wally is the reason why I read Bruce and him together, even though I don't like to. I only do it sometimes, because there is so much I can stand of the god damn Batman.
15. "I can't believe I read it and liked it" Ship: Flash/Wally & Question/Vic
Vic and Wally. As in the Question and the Flash. It's as crack as it gets, in my opinion. What got me into them was Onion And Cakes. Running A Marathon On Jupiter is the sequel to it. I suggest reading All The Matters Aside From Heroism and Pink Makes Me Uncomfortable after, it just feels more fuzzy. They're all by Alba Aulbath.
16. "Favorite Cross-Gen" Ship: Flash/Wally & Kid Flash/Bart
Because I already mentioned Barry and Wally. I also liked Clark and Wally too, after reading Addicted To The S. Once in awhile I'll read Ollie and Roy too. I recommend Birthday Presents if you do want to check them out.
17. "My first I could never abandon you" Ship: Flash/Wally & Green Lantern/Kyle
I wasn't into comics back then. Only a little I guess, because I watched the animated series and movies. So when I did get into it after watching Young Justice, I started to explore my options. And it just happened, I knew right away I liked them together. I've liked them forever since. If you're curious, I suggest reading part one and part two of We'll Always Have Metropolis by shankie. There's also Kaddish too by Merlin Missy, if you prefer a bit more angst.
