For many fans of scripted television, half the fun of tuning in each week is to measure the progress of your One True Pairing: That one couple, or would-be couple, bumbling their way towards a happy union despite all of the plot-wrenches thrown in their way. Whether they're an actual couple like Pretty Little Liars' Hanna and Caleb or one brought to life mainly on Tumblr, such as Supernatural's Dean Winchester and his bestie Castiel, these pairings feel real to us...even though they're complete fiction.

Our Fan Choice Awards' Best Couple category is all about the 'ship.
