I love Mal and Zoe also! And Book and Zoe and Book and River and Book and Inara! And I like Jayne and River a lot too! It's a big contrast with Buffy where most of the male/female relationships either involved crushes or dating or are creepy! I think lady_ganesh mentioned Giles and Anya and I agree with that but don't remember that part of the show well enough to say it's one of my favorites.

Also yay for Lilian's drabble! I'm happy that my kinky and wrong ficlet got remixed and I also got to write a kinky and wrong Merlin remix myself, though in both cases the remix was a lot less with the noncon than the original.
