Pffffft.

For the most part, I really only ship things in a cracky way ("LET'S LOOK FOR SUBTEXT FOR LAUGHS YAY :D :D :D"), or I'll just like an already established canon pairing or something, but I rarely think about which characters would go well together and so on. It's just not how I roll, yo. I do have one exception- one that (depending on where I know you from/what fandoms we share, etc.), may or may not be painfully obvious.

...

(That one exception is TOTALLY Rin/Glorfindel, by the way. OBVIOUSLY. And yes, I still call you Rin. Just. Because.)

The only ship I'm actually adamant about is Snout/Grakker, which might have been addressed by the author if the two weren't physically separated at the beginning of Book Two for the rest of the series.

I was quite Lightfoot/Finder before it turned out Lightfoot liked Belle in Dark Whispers.

I know there's a major one I'm forgetting that's non-Bruce Coville related, but it'll take me a while...

In my mind? That's a canon ship. Coville pretty much said so himself. :D

What series is that one from?

Yeah. That's the only problem, it's got a canon foundation, and that's about all =(

Dark Whispers is the third in the Unicorn Chronicles series, also by Bruce Coville.

Ahhh, okay. My sister's read those (I think), but I never have.

The first book, Into the Land of the Unicorns, was little more than a prelude, and the second book finally got some of the interesting mythology going. And then there was a nine year gap. But Dark Whispers is some of Bruce Coville's best writing to date. Mature, unflinching, intelligent. I was deeply impressed. Give it a try if you find yourself getting into it ^_^
