Looks like the men are trying to save us. We may be here for a while.*

So, we hear a lot about how most male/female relationships in fiction are romantic, and most memes that involve relationships focus on shipping. So here’s something a bit different: list 10 (or however many…I did 17 and decided it was enough) platonic male/female relationships in fiction that you enjoy.

My attempt at rules:

1. They interact in canon, preferably in a significant (apply your own interpretation of such) way.
2. They are not related. They can, however, view each other as surrogate family.
3. Neither has confessed or implied romantic love for the other in canon.
4. They have not dated, been married, had sex, or made out in canon, on purpose, and over their own free will.
5. A popular fanon ship is ok (though preferably not your ship) but a canon pairing you wish were just friends is out.
6. Try to avoid character/canon overlap.
7. They don’t have to be friends.

Mine, in no order:

1. Aeryn/D’Argo (Farscape)
2. Spike/Joyce (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer)
3. Veronica/Weevil (Veronica Mars)
4. Jo/Carter(Eureka)
5. Na’Toth/G’Kar(Babylon 5)
6. Jubilee/Wolverine (X-Men/Wolverine)
7. Teal’c/Vala (Stargate: SG-1)
8. Kyohei/Noi (Wallflower/Perfect Girl Evolution)
9. Yuuko/Watanuki (xxxHolic)
10. Angel/Faith (Angel: the Series)
11. Foyle/Sam (Foyle’s War)
12. Zoe/Mal (Firefly)
13. Hokuto/Seishiro (Tokyo Babylon)
14. Blair/Dan (Gossip Girl)
15. Juliet/Lassiter (Psych)
16. Kurogane/Tomoyo (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle)
17. Dani/Charlie (Life)
