Dean & Castiel, Supernatural (#3 seed) – There are few TV ‘ships out there that date back more than a decade, but this is one of them. Destiel was born out of LiveJournal communities, message boards, and so much more back before things like Twitter were even popular. Since that time, it’s grown to become one of the most-popular Supernatural ‘ships ever, born out of the caring relationship that Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins’ characters have. There is humor here, but also adventure and an extended love and appreciation.
Casey & Brett, Chicago Fire (#6 seed) – Meanwhile, in this case we are talking about a ‘ship that really started to rise on a mainstream level last spring. It didn’t seem following the exit of Dawson that another Casey-related pairing would come out so soon, but these two do have a good bit in common, they already have an established friendship, and it’s not all that hard to understand what they would each see in each other. There’s no guarantee that it will happen, but there is a beginning to a journey here as we move further into season 8.
