Imma put my Weirdo Hat on here and go with... Aoko X Akako. Seriously, judging just by "The Adult's Charm" and the ski masquerade story, there's a lot of interaction between them that could be taken in shippy directions. Okay, it's probably rather one-sided on Aoko's part, but a fellow can dream... Naturally, I've found exactly one fic that comes anywhere close to addressing this. One day I will change that. I shall write an AoAka fic so glorious that it will singlehandedly launch a new subgenre in MKDC fanfic. Just you wait... I wish you luck, catalyst for change

I shall write an AoAka fic so glorious that it will singlehandedly launch a new subgenre in MKDC fanfic. Just you wait... AoAka yessss. I'm going to put it right out here; Aoko's the only character I ship with Akako, mainly because A) her extremely unhealthy-to-the-point-of-being-downright-toxic obsession with Kaito, and B) the fact that any potential "love" any other male character could have for her would be overshadowed by her gross seduction magic. Thus, Aoko. Not to mention what you just said, about the canon hints towards it (and also it works rather nicely with one of my pairing sets to evenly distribute the love and- you know what that's kind of confusing so I'll just leave that topic as-is). If you write this glorious AoAka breakthrough fic, I will worship it for eternity.

Heh. Glad I've got support on this.
(But as a veteran of Ranma One-Half, my bar for "toxic obsessions" in anime and manga is pretty damn high.)

Since the thread's already moving in the direction of rare pairings, how do you guys feel about crack pairs (or to be more specific characters pairs who haven't officially met in the series yet)?
For one, I'm utterly addicted to the idea of Saguru x Shiho. It just the technicalities that give me troubles with actually writing it. Borrowing Doku's previous argument for Shinichi x Shiho, it would firstly also have to involve Ai taking the antidote, which doesn't seem like something she would do. Aside from that issue though, I feel like their personality-wise they would match really well. Saguru would treat Shiho in such a gentlemanly way, which she absolutely deserves. Intellectually they're on a similar wavelength too, which is something I feel that both of them need. (And won't they simply look gorgeous together, but that's not too much of an argument.) Thoughts?

Crack pairings? *begins laughing as he gets out his list* SaguShiho is interesting - I'd actually considered the idea for quite some time before I began shipping HakuSera. There's a lot to be said for them - I sometimes think that both their cold personalities wouldn't mold well all the time, but that could also be considered a positive. But yes, Ai needs someone who would respect her, definitely.
Aside from HakuSera, some of my other weird pairings include EriFushi. Or, rather, Eri Kisaki x Taka'aki Morofushi. This first came to mind when I was thinking of people who Eri would realistically be happy with should she ever divorce and improve the plot. Eri is smart - I can't see her wanting to end up with somoene who's not going to be intellectually challenging. At first I almost did a crossover ship with Phoenix Wright (No seriously), but I was thinking that I wanted more interaction with the folks in Nagano (Since hello difficult but probably stable and working relationship), and then it clicked. Smart, reliable, loyal, attractive detective in Nagano? It's likely that they'd start off in opposition (Cop vs Defense Attorney in court), but I can totally see them chatting after court - once a verdict is given - and slowly appreciating each other. Then eventually (Probably after Eri and Kogoro finalise the divorce - I wonder if they're waiting for Ran to get into University?) I can see them slowly start dating - even if it's just a trip to a coffee shop. Also they'd be adorable together but can you imagine them as a battle couple? Like both are really intelligent and neither look that physically strong but Morofushi at a bare minimum has police training and Eri.... well, in Eri's first appearence she is able to not be intimidating by a charging rugby coach (Rugby people are roughly as strong as you can get) and execute a Judo throw over herself to take the coach down. SO yeah, awesome battle couple.... ...Whoops I rambled.

I'm sad that SaguShiho/HaiHaku is such a rare pairing. I'm going to have it as one of the main pairings in Spoilers, Tantei-Kun, alongside KaiShin, (when I get around to finishing up/publishing the few chapters I have), and I really want to explore their chemistry more. Ha, chemistry. Because Shiho...and...yeah. I'm known for shipping crack pairings, though, so alas. C'est la vie. Of course, I'm kind of especially known for single-handedly (although not as alone, anymore) sailing the KaiZuha ship (rather, Kuroba Kaito x Toyama Kazuha), my het OTP, and I'm looking at dabbling in KazuShin (Kazuha x Shinichi), HeiKai (Heiji x Kaito), and almost undoubtedly AkaSera (Akako x Masumi). I love ships, especially rarepairs/crackships, and being able to mix and match and bring out different character traits between each pairing is fun to me.

As I try to finish up my HakuSera fic, Falling in Love Literally (Thanks again, puppy-dog. Like, for realz. It's been awesome.), I'm embarking on a new journey into the world of AmuAzu (AmuroxAzusa) (Thanks, Laurel! Man. You people are all rubbing off on me. ^.^; Come on. I'm a BL writer here, and you're ruining my image.)! I'm actually having a lot of fun with my new fic A Metamorphosis.
As for HakuHai, I think they're cute. That would be interesting, but it's kind of a headcanon of mine that they're cousins, so...but that's not quite so weird in Japan, so...
I have to say, I like Kaito and pretty much anyone. I'd like to see some more KaiRan. Maybe I need to invest in writing some myself. HeiKai is tons of fun, and I'd like to do some more someday. I've never heard of KazuKai or KazuShin, but that would be interesting to see how you would set it up.
I think I like HaHa (HAkubaxHAttori) if done well. I think I just like the pairing name. I've only ever seen it done by Icka M. Chif, and she's a genius, so...
I feel like I'm rambling. Someone else feel free to take over. Douzo.

I'm actually a little surprised that I haven't found any KaitoxAkako (unless it's one-sided). My own "Unpromised Future" skates pretty close, and I read one other fanfic that did as well, but nothing that turns into a reciprocal romance.
It doesn't seem that much of a crack pairing to me, but maybe most people look at it that way?
I was considering writing an actual one sometime once my schedule frees up, since no one else seems to be doing so. It's not the only pairing I like, but I find it perplexing that hardly anyone else has tried it!

I can very well see HakubaxHattori working, depending on how it's written. They're both dorks when the situation calls it, and even if they outright exhibit how they hate each other, I can actually see them click!
Yeah, I agree with the KaitoxAkako thing being one-sided. Akako's character is... well, how can I say it... something that needs a lot of work on(?) (yeah, I guess that'll do) since Aoyama-sensei hasn't established her solidly yet. I remember one time, Alisa, when you said her character appears to be that kind which people easily misunderstand because of her poor people skills. That's probably it.
AokoxAkako is such a cute pair, actually. Still partial on that one but... it's just they're both so cuuuuute. It's just so cute how Ao-chan can be blissfully oblivious of thingies, and then there's Aka-chan who knows half the MK world secrets (LOL, not really but you know what I mean). They're just... *weird finger movements* like a hodgepodge of everything you love and hate and it leaves a kind of tingly tangy sweet-sour taste in your mouth or something :"3 ... I dunno what I'm saying anymore *awkward laugh*
Can I just say...?
You.people.influence.my.life views (LOL, life views).a.lot.A.LOT.A LOT! xD (ahem, HakuSera, for example... and yeah, AmuroxAzusa, Oh, and also you, more than half people into same gender pairings. I just dunno if I can pull something like that off so I'll leave that into your hands)

I don't usually fancy GL, but I have to say that Akako x Aoko is looking more tempting by the minute. There's just something about the pair that just... fits I suppose. I definitely have to agree that it's cute, and also the previous point about Akako x any male character would fall flat. Kaito x Akako wasn't a ship that I particularly went for, until I recently heard Akako's track in the MK1412 character song CD. Now I think there may be quite a bit of potential there, but for it to progress well I think something has to happen to make Akako show vulnerability. Both of them have Poker Faces the size of walls, they need to get past that and actually trust each other for it to work. Hmm, this is actually making me want to write a short fic about them... Well, we'll see if I actually get round to doing it. Maybe for one of the future contests. HakuSera is an interesting thought, I think I'll happily add it to my list of teen detective ships. I think I pretty much ship all of Gosho's teen geniuses (now numbering six with Sera, whee) together in some way or another hahaha. XD Kaito x Ai, anyone? They have actual meetings in the series (though I think it was just in the movies), all which I love. On a related note, I wonder if Kaito figured out the connection between the woman he was told to disguise as on the Bell Tree Express and that little girl sticking with chibi-tantei-kun? I'm not sure where it came from, but my mind has been toying with the idea of Amuro x Sera. Which is probably total crack, but just think about the look on Amu-kun's face when he finds out he's gonna have Akai Shuichi as a brother-in-law. XDDD

Oh my, pairings..... As for canon, Heiji x Kazuha is my fav. They have so much potencial, being both there and of the correct ages, but aaaghhhhhhh, nothing happens in canon, and there aren't many fics of them *sigh* There is a fic series by Asuka Kureru called Swingverse, with all the BL pairings you can imagine. The Shinichi x Ran x Kaito one made me think about RanxKaito, and how could it could work.

Is it bad that the recent music band case made me ship AmuSera for real now? LOL I mean all they did were shoot dagger glares and throw verbal barbs at each other. (ooh tension! ) There must be something wrong with my brain... Or my fangirl heart. Probably that. Probably both.

So... I have a few ships... and now it shall be very obvious that I'm not straight.
Ran/Sonoko They are supportive and caring to each other. Sonoko's honesty and pure-hearted, no filters good nature and Ran's intelligence, responsible attitude, and kindness just seem like a really good, healthy mix.
It's also really easy to read some of Sonoko's actions as, at the very least, bi-curious. One of the first times we meet Sonoko, she's dressing Ran up in a skimpy skirt for playing tennis with her. She keeps dragging Ran to exotic locations where they can spend the night together, in the same room, alone. She also cheers very... *enthusiastically* for Ran at her karate tournaments.
And lastly, her "boyfriend" is basically a slightly dumber male version of Ran.
Vermouth/Yukiko I like to think that Yuusaku and Yukiko have an open relationship and that Sharon was more than a mentor to Yukiko. Vermouth is quite protective of her, after all.
Other ships I like:
Akako/Aoko - Aoko doesn't put up with BS, and Akako can't mind rape her. It'd be a "Akako learns to treat people better and falls in love with the cute, fiery girl she'd thought of as a rival before" sort of story.
Scotch/Akai, Akai/Bourbon - can't really go into this one for reason of spoilers, but if you've read the latest chapters of the manga, you'll know what I mean. *sniffle*
Shiho/Saguru - they can SCIENCE together. They'd be so cute SCIENCE-ing together. Shiho's cynicism and Saguru's optimistic pragmatism make for an entertaining combination too.
Shiho/Kaito - Kaito gets interested in whose life he saved, and finds someone to commiserate with about loss and morally ambiguous families and being forced into really shitty situations. I think that those two could do a lot of healing together.
Shiho/Ran - Shiho has been through hell and back, and Ran is the sort of person who is patient and kind enough to help her recover as a friend. Shiho knows Ran's intelligence and bravery first hand, and respects her for it. I think that they could build a relationship based in respect.
One-Sided!Vermouth/Ran - Vermouth is awfully fixated on Ran, doing all kinds of self-endangering stuff in order to protect her Angel. It wouldn't be a romantic romance, it'd be a horror story full of obsession and longing and tragedy - but sometimes I'm in the mood for something that makes my skin crawl.

I'll ship anything so long as it can be believable. though right now I'm most obsessed with ShinKai/Kaishin! Spread the love!

I don't hate Shinichi/Kaito fics...it's just been done to death and it's not interesting to me anymore. Our fandom needs more diversity in its ships!
