Wow, even on rewatch, I got super-emotional at the scene where the Hound stands accused.
Edit: I am a bit of an Arya/Hound shipper. RE-EDIT: NOT IN A SEXUAL WAY (boy I really dug myself in it this time...)
You want to meet the real me now?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

She's more than young enough to be his daughter. Arya/Gendry, man, not that she, in particular, has any need of a man.

Because books.
I am a bit of an Arya/Hound shipper.
Seriously? She's ... what, twelve?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Needing a man is not so much a factor for me (who does?) but having anything to do with one--nope, no matter how great a dynamic duo they form, the ess in ship is a big ess, and Arya is only little ess-ready.

Sansa, if she doesn't need a man, at least believes that she does.
Generally, though, I agree

Hmm... Shipper is maybe not the best word. Yeah, I don't think of it as sexual. NOT THAT CREEPY!

Arya/Gendry
I kind of wonder if this may actually happen in the story eventually. Although lots of other tales from Westeros are filled with "they came so close to true love, but never saw each other again," stories.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hound and Arya will be fun to watch together, but yeah, not so much with the sexual. Yikes.
Arya/Gendry looks like it may develop canon legs but they feel mostly buddy-ish to me. On the show, the characters that have sparked off Arya the best were 1) Tywin Lannister (AGAIN NOT IN THE SHIPPY WAY) and 2) Jaqen H'gar (... actually, once Arya grows up to be, I dunno, 17 or 18 and should she meet up with Jaqen again, I may not be adverse to shipping. Mostly because I found the Jaqen actor lovely to look upon and listen to.)
As for Hound himself, there is pretty big contingent that ships him with Sansa. With actual porn and everything. I see some basis for it, although I think that's been tone down in the series.

In the books, Sansa even does this herself. Over time, she starts remembering her encounters with the Hound as more sexually charged then they actually were. She starts remembering that the Hound kissed her the night of the Battle of the Blackwater Rush, which he never did.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
It's killing me a little every Sunday night that I can't just mainline this season. And next.
