Well, we have a thread for ships we support ... so to balance things out, here's a place to moan about ships that you just cannot stand.
Here are some of mine:
POTO: Erik/Raoul. Why? Because it's freaking impossible. I actually have no problem with slash as long as the characters involved are, in fact, homosexual, which I'm pretty darn sure these two are not. Plus, why on God's green earth would Erik fall in love with the guy who he believes stole his girlfriend? And why would Raoul fall in love with a man who threatened to kill him? ARGH!
Les Mis: Enjolras/Anybody. No, no, no, a thousand times, NO! Hello? What happened to, "He was austere, seeming not to be aware of the existence on earth of a creature called woman."? And no, that does not mean that he wants to go to bed with the Amis, either -- especially Grantaire. He hates Grantaire. Sure, he's a handsome fellow, but please, let him be the chaste marble statue he's supposed to be. (And mention the word Patria and I will happily do something painful to your head.)
Marius/Eponine. Yes, yes, poor Eponine with her unrequited love, blah, blah, blah, I don't care. Who did Marius love? Cosette. No ifs or buts about it. Eponine's karma came back to haunt her. Sad, but true. I pity the poor little bugger, but honestly. Would you have a secret crush on a half-starved, rotten-toothed, lice-covered random who waltzed into your apartment demanding money, poking around through your things, singing to herself and eating your leftovers (before leading you to a fight in the hope that you would die)? I think not.
Jean Prouvaire/Anybody. I get jealous
Harry Potter: Draco/Hermione, Draco/Ginny & Hermione/Snape. All for the same reason. Hell will freeze over before Malfoy would touch a Muggle-born like Hermione or a 'blood traitor' like Ginny with a ten-foot pole. As for Snape ... no. Just ... no. She's young enough to be his daughter, and he doesn't like her. (I once saw a Harry/Sirius fic. That was really scary.)
