In Which I Get Squishy
I feel like posting my favoritist OTPs, of which I don't have many.
Arthur/Gwen
Arthur and Gwen are an angst filled epic. Arthur, who is just recently getting in touch with his more human feelings is head over heels for Gwen. Unfortunately she's a servant who Uther won't even let his son go save when it comes down to it, much less marry. In addition, Gwen has some unresolved feelings for Lancelot who she understands she has a lot more realistic shot with. Arthur's pretty much told her they can't be together, but now he's left to seeth in his own juices as he isn't able to just move on and forget her. The main thing that I love about the two of them is that Gwen challenges Arthur to be a better man. She's the only one who can without making him mad, and he has yet to not step up when she challenges him. There are a lot of factors that pull the two in opposite ways, from their social status to the fact that Arthur can be a real jerk. Either way around it, Gwen cares about him deeply and Arthur is slowly eating himself up from repressed frustration over his situation.
Richard/Kahlan
And speaking of repression, Richard and Kahlan can't ever be together lest Kahlan mentally enslave Richard with her freaky powers. The two are completely in love, but they know they can't be together, which I can bet is going to lead to some definite unpleasantness as Richard has an unhealthy fascination with a Mord Sith named Cara and there's nothing Kahlan can do about it since they aren't really a couple. Of the two, Kahlan is the stronger, but she's also in an uncompromising situation.
Booth/Bones
The epicest modern OTP ever. Two total opposites who have been in love for forever and don't even know it. Booth is the sweetest guy ever and his driven need to protect Bones has become a major part of his life. He's now wised up to the fact that he loves her, but Bones has a lot of issues to work through before she can admit that she loves Booth too. In the mean time, Booth is proving to be a very patient man.
Robin/Marian
Thanks for gutting me, OTP. Ultimately doomed from the start (since Robin was really doomed from the start by picking a fight with major powers in England), this was a romance based in the childlike first love of two people who circumstances ran over. It had the realistic ending of a romance like that, something that you don't see very often and something that was unexplainably heartbreaking for a family show.
