 Day 17: Two characters you wanted to get together that never did

To a first approximation, "nobody". This was not something I was particularly interested in when I first saw the series, at least not strongly enough to remember 45 years later. Possibly Avon and Cally, since the friendship with a hint of more was canonical.

In spite of the hundreds of thousands of words of fanfic I have since written, my answer for actual canon hasn't really changed. It would not be the show it was if you had any of the main characters pairing up - no matter which pairing you had, it would throw off the dynamics of the group. This is actually lampshaded in Voice From the Past, when a remote-controlled Blake convinces Vila that the others are plotting against Blake by telling him that Avon and Cally have paired up on the sly. Avon and Servalan might have a Masochism Tango thing going on in series C and D, but it only works because they both know it would never work and don't actually do anything about it.

This might be (almost) the last one I do for the original list of questions, because most of the remaining ones are either "how am I supposed to choose amongst so many" or "does not compute". (It doesn't help that much of C and D I haven't watched for years, only selected episodes.) [personal profile] vilakins apparently has a similar problem and is thinking of coming up with some new ones, so I may follow along with those.

They were just not good at writing romance or even mild interest.
