The Unconventional Shipping Meme

Have you ever found two characters that you know would just simply never work together? No matter how hard you vie for them to forge a relationship, it's just simply never going to happen. Perhaps they are bitter enemies sworn to do in the other, or they're already taken by someone else. Whatever the case, there's a reason these two just don't mix under normal circumstances...but this is your chance to make that all change!
Rules:
-Post your muse with their name and canon in the header (feel free to include preferences as well, if you'd like)
-Pick some prompts and tag around! For the purposes of this meme, please keep threads at PG-13 levels
-Have fun!
Type of Ship:
1) Simply unconventional: Something about this person just doesn't attract you in the slightest. Perhaps it's their personality, or the fact that they're just not your type at all. So what happens when you suddenly find yourself seeing that person in a different light? Maybe you'll start to realize that your previous notions weren't all that correct...
2) Compatible, but it never happened: Apparently the writers just had a lot of other plans for you, buddy, because no matter how hard the fans shipped you with someone else, you ended up becoming A Thing with someone totally different. Or maybe you were killed off in Season 2, and never actually got together with anyone. It could have happened, and it possibly could have worked! ...but for some reason, it just never did. Maybe it's time to change that.
3) Unrequited: One half of this pair has found themselves crushing pretty hard on the other. Either the other half doesn't know, or they simply choose to ignore it- but someone might want to break it to them that this just isn't going to work. (NOTE: This prompt always involves one half of the pair not returning the sentiment for whatever reason.)
4) Forbidden: You're royalty, and they're a commoner. You cannot be seen in public together, let alone be in a relationship with them. Yet, there's something about this person that's special, and you're not willing to let that go. You're not going to let conventions get in the way of your true love, are you?
5) Puppy Love: Little ones get crushes on each other quite often, but they're not exactly what adults would define as love. You're getting pretty serious with your hand holding over there, buddy, and kissing?! No way, ew, that's just crossing the line. Do you WANT to spread cooties? (Note: This prompt requires obligatory ageing down, if your muse isn't a child.)
6) Oh Adolescents: You're getting up into your teenage years, and what do relationship what is love can you eat it. You're kindof floundering your way through here with the best of them, and surely you're going to have some relationships that you're going to ultimately regret. Or maybe not? Maybe that person that just totally doesn't seem right for you is actually the One, and you're just having a hard time seeing it past the fact that you tried to kiss them and gave them a bloody nose. Way to go, champ.
7) Make your own!
Prompts:
1) Hey you wanna go do a thing: So you've just met this person somewhere, be it at a party, or running into them on the street. They're absolutely not your type, but for reasons unknown here we are trying this thing and would you like to go out with me for a coffee or something? Maybe they'll say yes. The worst that could happen is they say no.
2) First Date: Now that the ball is rolling, we're out on a date...sooomewhere. Maybe you went to the diner to get a milkshake to share (cause...people do that in movies on dates, right) or went out to see a movie, or maybe you're just out for a stroll and having a chat just to get to know each other a little better. It will either end rather decently or in disaster, so might as well make the best of it.
3) Slice-of-life: So we're not actually on a date or anything here, we're literally just living our daily lives. Going to the store to pick up a few things, heading to the park to goof off for a while, going for a drive...you know, the most mundane thing you can possibly think of. It's got to be more enjoyable when you're doing it with someone else, right?
4) Cuddles because this meme isn't fluffy enough already: Perhaps you're watching a movie and one- or both of you- is starting to get tired. Your eyes are burning and it's hard to keep them open, especially with your partner's fingers running through your hair like that...but you have to stay awake, it's kind-of rude to just fall asleep on someone, isn't it? If they're falling asleep too, though, then...well, there's nothing wrong with some sleepy cuddles, is there? Maybe it's a little chilly out, too. Gotta keep warm somehow and that blanket is only big enough if you share.
5) Something terrible this way comes: There's been an accident. Something has happened and one of you is in dire straights, or maybe both of you are hanging on to your last threads of life. You don't have long to figure out what to say, but you should say it while you still have the chance. You may never get another one.
