> [@gallows\_fodder](#): > > Mulder and Scully, seasons 1-8 [and possibly 9, if you discount “all things” and the fact that they had a baby together…or something…I faded out by that point]. But whatever. Mulder and Scully. I love the quote from CSM to Scully in “En Ami”. He tells her “You’d die for Mulder, but you won’t allow yourself to love him.” ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Mal Reynolds was in a sexless love triangle with Zoe and Inara. Did Wash know?! Sam and Dean were the first to pop into my head, too. It was amusing when they were pretending to be mental patients, and immediately got split up by the hospital staff because they were too codependent (which freaked them out because, yes, they are codependent). I always liked Mulder and Scully, too. I’m annoyed that eventually became canon. Xena and Gabrielle. ---

Not sure if this counts, but I keep thinking back to the movie “Chasing Amy” where Hooper is talks about Archie and Jughead. ---
