I used to watch the Dr. Who spinoff Torchwood. I actually liked the Jack/Ianto pairing quite a bit but had to give up on the fanfic because the writers were SO obsessed with "Janto" that literally 98% of the stories were just the couple finding new and exciting ways to bang each other.
This sounds fine to me. π€£π€£π€£
Usually my favorite characters are the secondary ones and my favorite couples the doomed ship. But every now and then I get lucky and like what is the favorite of fandom or of the writers. Tho I really do hate it when writers play favorites with characters because it's often at the expense of other characters and it makes me more inclined to like the "teacher's pet" less. (See: Carly.
