Because books.
Anyone want to help with a guest blog post I have to do? They want to know my ten favorite literary couples, and I'm coming up short. I have seven so far:
1) Jane/Rochester
2) Kit/Nat (Witch of Blackbird Pond)
3) Jo/Professor Bhaer
4) Clare/Henry (The Time Traveler's Wife)
5) Hermione/Ron
6) Aislinn/Seth (YA, Wicked Lovely)
7) Claire/Jamie (Outlander)
Who am I missing? Or who are some of yours?

Raven/Alexander (YA, Vampire Kisses)
... I suppose Morticia/Gomez doesn't count, since there aren't really any Addams Family books. ('tho good G-D, I would kill to work on books for that.)

I keep meaning to talk to my agent about it to see what she thinks, but then I keep telling myself, no, finish the fiction project first.
Other couples:
Snape/Lily (I can't help it. Sev, you poor bastard.)
Richard/Alec (Swordspoint)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
How literally do they mean "couple"?
What about:

- Peter Wimsey & Harriet Vane
- Wooster & Jeeves
