There was a Jool/Chiana story in the first year of yuletide.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Didn't Chiana, like, hate Jool? Or was that me?

I read a fair amount of Faith/Spike too, just cause it's shiny.

Oh man, I'd forgotten about my Faith/Spike phase. This was before they'd even had any scenes together other than the Fuffy one.

There are all kinds of pairings for characters that never interacted -- Willow/Lindsey, Lindsey/Xander. There's even a really great Wesley/Doyle story.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

And then, of course, there are crossover pairings. Methos and Lex seem to go with everything and anyone, just about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You could stick Sark in there too. Is anyone sensing a theme?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Is anyone sensing a theme?

Hot men are welcome anywhere? And by "anywhere" I do mean in porn.

OK, I also mean "in my bed" but what are the odds of that?

Moral ambiguity is the bomb! Ethical opportunism gets the babes, and the boys!

I don't really have a problem with pairing characters between the jossverse (well, except crossing over buffy or angel with firefly, that bugs) but it can make me roll my eyes. Depends on what the set up is.

However for the most part I have no problem with characters from other shows being paired up together. My exceptions are:

any of the vampire universes (Anita Blake, Dracula, Buffy, Forever Knight) being crossed over. The rules for vampires are so different that writers have to come up with convulated ways to make them mesh. Well, if it was a PWP then I wouldn't care, but the stories with a plot bug.

and, characters played by the same actor being crossed over into the various shows and movies.

And Faith.
