Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

First off, ten? TEN???! How am I to come up with ten?

1) John/Aeryn, Farscape
2) Mulder/Scully, X-Files
3) Spike/Buffy, BtVS

Er...um... After this it's increasingly hazy. But I did like/watch/root for the others as well... I guess. More often than not, anyway.

4) Jack/Jennifer, Days of Our Lives (circa early 1990s. It was high school, okay?!)
5) Kyle Reese/Sarah Connor, Terminator
6) Sawyer/Juliet, Lost
7) Michael/Maria, Roswell
8) Charlotte/Harry, Sex and the City
9) Harry/Murphy, Dresden Files - the novels
10) Nick Knight/ Janette/Lacroix (Ot3 okay?) , Forever Knight

And Spock/Uhura have potential, if developed. I probably need to find fanfic...

My take on commonalities
Mostly equal partnerships often with the guy as the more romantic and woman as the practical, logical. (Spock/Uhura would run counter to this... obviously).
There's a bit of idealism in most of the pairings (Though Sawyer/Juliet would run counter to that)
There's a bit of cynicsm in a number of them.
Most tend toward adventure.
Majority feature banter and/or snark.
