Discussion and Recommendations: Shipping, Het Edition

I'm in an overthinkity mood today, so I'm going to discuss shipping. This post is going to be all about my favorite het couples, because I tend to lean more towards het than slash, but if I'm feeling extra ambitious I might make a slash post later. Join in if you want, or list and describe your ships in your own journals, whatever floats your boat.

As a bonus, I've included recs for some of my favorite pairings. Spoilers are inherent, though, so enter at your own risk.

( I try to be an equal-opportunity shipper. )

So I've shown you mine... now you show me yours! What do you think of these pairings? What pairings do you prefer? Any fic you'd care to share?

I'll share my ice cream cake.
