One True Pairing Ship: Paine/Nooj, natch.

Canon Ship: P/N is canon, dammit, and no one is telling me otherwise

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: I used to be more tolerant of Nooj/LeBlanc but I've actually gotten less sympathetic to the idea over the years. Mostly because I don't see any evidence that he's into her really.

"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Nooj/Yuna. Noojyin, rather. Shuyin using Nooj to reunite with Lenne in the form of Yuna? All kinds of nice dark possibilities there.

"I dabble a little" Ship: Baralai/Yuna. Actually this is probably my favorite pairing outside of P/N.

"It's like a car crash" Ship: Paine/Rikku. I can't see it as anything more than a fling, at all, but what a fling it would be!

"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Baralai/Gippal. (And the mass unfriending exodus begins!) There are things I like about this pairing, but the way they get written together often makes me want to pull out that spork. Uke-ified Baralai makes baby Jesus cry.

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Paine/Buddy. I don't know why I keep writing this, but I do. He's the solid, stable one that's left when everything shakes out? Maybe. Anyway, I continue to keep them on the back burner.

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Rikku/Gippal. Not that I don't see the canon evidence -- it's there, for sure, and I think they *can* be a good couple. But they so rarely *are*. If ever a fandom ruined a pairing for me, this was it.

"When all is said and done" Ship: P/N P/N P/N. Every time I think I ought to branch out, they just draw me back. I may never be finished with them.

"Uke-ified Baralai makes baby Jesus cry." I completely agree. Every time I write Baralai I freak out, because I'm so worried I'm - well, in your words, 'uke-fying' him. It's difficult.

I didn't know you read Baralai/Yuna! Do you have any fics to recommend? I like the idea but so far I've only found one that I thought was done well.

It's not a pairing that gets written much, sadly. Probably "Of Sun" by parron and "Cfaadraynd" (which is actually a Baralai/Yuna/Gippal triangle) by iamleaper are the ones I've liked the best. I've only been able to write drabbles myself, although I'd like to take a crack at it for real someday.
