Rarepair tag game!
Rules: List the top rarepairs that you like outside of your OTP, and why you ship it! (Criteria for what makes a rarepair is up to your own discretion.)
tagged by @limonium-anemos, thank you so much!! im defining "rarepair" by how deep i had to dig within each fandom to find a community and fanworks for each ship. so, without further ado:
tsukkihina (tsukkishima kei/hinata shouyo, haikyuu!!) - what can i say, i love me some enemies/rivals to lovers AND a good sun and moon motif. i also think hq!! always juxtaposes hinata and tsukki in fun ways: they're the middle blockers on the team, they follow a very similar growth path, end up sharing a lot of formative experiences that neither kageyama nor yamaguchi go through, and i think they complement each other really well when they play to their strengths!!
Kisses Like Fireflies by lilithiumwords
denying you (and i'm going nowhere fast) by lilithiumwords
atsuhina (miya atsumu/hinata shouyo, haikyuu!!) - yes, hinata is my fandom bicycle, what about it i love that they're both the exact same flavour of chaotic and obsessively single-minded and that's absolutely delightful. "shouyo - one day, i'll set for you"???? my man atsumu, completely unprompted, to the boy who always wants just one more set. jesus christ

twilight sun by noyabeans (snowdrops)
in the night we are wild eyed by Flumes
snack (severus snape/sirius black, hp) - AAAAAAAH. the sheer potential here makes me want to scream. they're both so ruthless and brilliant and they'd be terrifying if they managed to put aside their differences & pasts. and if they can't - well, why not enemies AND lovers? alas, this is a more recent discovery for me so i only have the one rec, but it's a really good one
turmoil by Metalomagnetic
billdip (bill cipher/dipper pines, gravity falls) - listen, warlock is my favourite dnd class as a concept because i'm a sucker for characters that make reckless deals with dangerous entities and get way in over their heads. the power dynamics there are delicious. (though admittedly in this case i only like the ship with aged-up Dipper)
Conspiratheory by LCypherED
Gold (orphan_account)
sukkuita (ryomen sukkuna/itadori yuuji, jjk) - see above
mirror mirror (his eyes are red) by emochill
Nuns with Guns by surveycorpsjean
goyuu (gojo satoru/itadori yuuji, jjk) - itadori is my favourite character, gojo is right behind him, and who doesn't love a nice little teacher/student trope every once in a while?? plus i genuinely love their canon relationship & dynamic. in this case, this isnt rlly a rareship in the japanese fandom, but the western fandom doesnt rlly feel the same way lmao
