Believable/Unbelievable Pairings

[themostepotente]

Have you ever looked at a fic pairing and said one of the following;

1.) Oh my GOD, that would SO never happen!

2.) What crack was this person smoking? And where could I get some?

3.) I just canNOT wrap my head around that!

So I must ask...

What pairing(s) do you find ridiculously OOC?

What pairing(s) do you find the most believable?

Let's hear what you have to say!

As far as being a complete hypocrite, HP/SS is my OTP -- but I cannot ever see, under any circumstances, any plausible way for Harry/Draco. *shakes head vigorously* It would also take some convincing for any Weasley and a Death Eater... particularly Ron/Draco. James or Lily in any slash pairing makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth -- unless it's a juicy non-con and then I look forward to that reaction.

The following ships make perfect sense to me:
Harry/Hermione
Harry/Ginny
Ron/Hermione
Hermione/Ginny
Harry/Neville
and of course, Harry/Severus in that deliciously self-destructive mental-case way. *dodges random objects being thrown across the internet*

Although I can see fandom Snape being into kids, I think he would violently push off any sexual efforts from Slytherin students. He's experienced their motives (and their parents) and would view them as naive and their fumbling disgusting. If he doesn't punishingly fuck Harry for the same reason, I have to suspend that belief to continue my shipping. *blush*

I also think it's awefully convenient for people to ship Lucius/Draco. Just because they're evil doesn't mean they're incestuous pederasts. I need to see real motive behind it, especially delusions of purity and beauty.

In essence, written well, I can believe almost everything. I think Ron is straight.

I personally do not like Ron slashed, and I've written Draco/Ron before. It didn't come easy, and I could only do it non-con style.
