How literally do they mean "couple"?
What about:
- Holmes & Watson
- Peter Wimsey & Harriet Vane
- Wooster & Jeeves
- Robin & Marian
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.
'Serenity'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Because books.
Yeah, I'm not a big sci-fi/fantasy reader, so I have no idea who half those people are.
And the list is for a blog for teen readers. I'd put a same-sex couple on there, but not one that's not canon, like Holmes/Watson. They can figure out slash on their own.
I'm adding Abelard/Heloise, because it's my list and I can, and probably Emma/Knightley, and possibly Katniss/Peeta, even if that's open to discussion.

Since it's a blog for teen readers, I think you should use Tiffany/Preston. They're from Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, which are YA.

But I've never read those! I don't want to add characters I know nothing about.

Whoa! Brief, giddy flail: Jay Asher (author of the fantastic Thirteen Reasons Why, and the new The Future of Us, co-written with Carolyn Mackler), mentioned Cold Kiss on his fall list of books he's excited about.
FLAIL.

Whoo! That's awesome!

Amy, that's great!

I'm honestly a little giddy. I ADORE him, and his list is really discerning. Whee!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Awesome, Amy!!
