1. When or if I started shipping them: I don't even know; some time after watching "The Cage" (July 2009) and definitely after having read taraljc's post-Cage story, but I can't pin it down much more after that.
2. What I think their challenge is: Haha. Their personalities.
3. What makes me happy about them: I usually write the AOS version, so first, it makes me happy to put Number One into the AOS-verse. Also, I think they fit together well; she's more than strong enough to handle him, and he's possibly smart enough for her.
4. What makes me sad about them: Their timeline is so epically fucked. And doomed, in TOS-land.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: Uh, well, this one is obvious. Delta radiation, anyone?
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Well, I'm OK with them ending up in a threesome with Kirk or Cait, and I guess I'm OK with either of them ending up with either of the above (that is, Pike/Kirk or One/Cait), although I'm a little suspicious of Pike/Kirk until Kirk has ( ... )

2. What I think their challenge is: Again, personality: three very strong command-type personalities. It's really a wonder that they can get out of their own way to be happy at all. Also, Pike's on earth and One and Kirk are on two different ships, so logistics as well.
3. What makes me happy about them: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie; I like writing threesomes in general, and this trio is awfully pretty. :-D
4. What makes me sad about them: There's really no way to put all of them in the same place at the same time permanently without compromising someone's dreams.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: I think I have to go with the delta radiation in TOS-land again, because other than that I'm regretting the torture/bug moment and if that didn't ( ... )

Your choice PK1 or P1B :D

2. What I think their challenge is: Cait's still not sure what she's doing there, half the time.
3. What makes me happy about them: I ♥ Cait :-D
4. What makes me sad about them: That there aren't enough people writing it, because people still don't know who Cait is.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: *la la la "The Cage" never happened, and if it did, the Talosians effed up because they forgot about, you know, Cait, with whom Pike is, at the very least infatuated by that point. IMHO.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Cait with Boyce, obv; Pike and One with each other, or with Kirk, variously.
7. My happily ever after for them: I don't even know yet, other than "not dead, not Talos-ed, not delta-irradiated, and hopefully everyone gets to do everything they always wanted to do."

2. What I think their challenge is: You know, I'm not sure, but I think Cait has a habit of taking things not seriously that Phil would very much like to take seriously.
3. What makes me happy about them: Everything! I love my tiny!ship :-D
4. What makes me sad about them: Tiny!ship is, still, tiny.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: Considering that the canon for these two is almost non-existent, I don't have anything.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Boyce can have Pike in imachar's world, and Cait can have Pike and One in Anonymous's. What. This can happen at once.
7. My happily ever after for them: Retiring to the cabin on the Cape, even despite the winters up there. :)

2. What I think their challenge is: Oh god. Well, being two different species doesn't help. (Also the death thing in AOS.) If Amanda were a lesser woman she'd probably always feel like she has something to prove, but thank goodness, she doesn't.
3. What makes me happy about them: That Amanda can, actually, kick Sarek's ass, even though she usually chooses not to.
4. What makes me sad about them: That AOS Amanda is not so much among the living, and that TOS Amanda in the show is not as kickass as she is in the tie-ins.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: "I'm losing her! I'm losing her!"
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Huh. In my head, there's kind of a strange Amanda/Pike story that refuses to coalesce. florahart wrote a Sarek/Winona that I've always liked. I paired Sarek with an OFC at one point. But I find it difficult actually to break them up in my head, even after ( ... )
