But then, someone on my Flist turned into a rapid Skye/Ward shipper (AoS) and OH MY GOD.
High five, Vonnie! I try not to be judgmental but that ship makes want to ask what's wrong with people who ship it.

No, the one on my flist just keeps posting Skye/Ward recs, as if she hasn't noticed the show deep sixed her ship. It's pretty profound cognitive dissonance, IMO.

Yeah, mine too.
It's a NOTP for me (I have a strong desire to see Ward shot from a cannon on the occasions when I tune into the show, so I only ship him with, like, cannons or man-eating sharks), but if I've learned one thing from comics, relationship deep sixing is about as permanent as death, so I guess I can kind of see where they're coming from? Except for the shipping it part. That I don't get.
But, you know, don't get the appeal of Stony. So. Hey.

If I only had a brain...
Who's the St in Stony? Obadiah Stane?
My current NOTP is Twelfth Doctor/Clara. The guy is touch-shy, big-time. He absolutely and deeply loves Clara, but not in a shippy way.
(on the other hand, Twelve/Missy, YES, because Missy loves messing with him.)

I'll take all the Stony off of your hands! I'm not reading as much of it right now, but it's still one of my primary OTPs. I'm all sad that after Winter Soldier, most of the Stony writers abandoned ship and got on the Steve/Bucky (Sucky!) ship.

That I probably would read, for shits and giggles.
Oh no, it's Steve Rogers. In addition to being an annoying portmanteau, it's a ship with no grounding in the MCU at all, and one I don't especially care for in 616 even where it DOES make sense in that they've actually been friends for years and stuff. (But, you know, I feel that 616 Tony deserved so many metal arm cock punches it's not even funny. I know people who feel he was right in Civil War, and I'm all.. "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT???" though the only people in Civil War I really felt for were Jessica and Luke. So.)
And it's EVERYWHERE.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did you SEE that scene in Avengers? Trust me, there was plenty of grounding for that ship. In my pants.
No need for a portmanteau, though.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Steve/Tony is a huge, huge NOTP for me. MCU!Tony with anyone but Pepper and/or Rhodey is a NOTP. Octopus noping out levels of NOTP.
Steve/Bucky, though? Hells yes. Steve/Bucky/Peggy? All of the yes.
