There are the canon or as-good-as-canon pairings I see on the screen, I just want to coo over them being adorable and happy together. I'm a sucker for supportive, caring relationships with honesty and equal power dynamics. I just want them to be a kick-ass team.
Then I have the fandom ships which I know are never gonna happen, but I love them anyway. They're oftentimes hateships, doomed, angsty, messed up or guilty pleasures for some other reason. I delight in how fucked up they are.
For TFA, I immediately fell in love with Rey/Finn, and loved the dynamic of Poe/Finn, but I didn't think about whether that would be romantic or bromantic or whatever. It didn't click how wonderful they would be as a couple till I got home. So naturally, I decided I need to OT3 ship them, too.
I think I got hooked to Kylux by the art and fic showing me how snarky and fun and just all around awesome (and fulfilling my need for dark fic!) this ship is.
