What are some of the most interesting LoL pairings that you have seen? And have you ever thought about writing for a pairing other than LC?
There are a lot. LoL has a lot of interesting characters with a lot of potential. Just about every pairing has something unique to bring to the table. Some I like, some I don't.
A lot of the pairings I like (CaitVi, Zeri/Ekko, Ezko, KataGaren, Meljay, Jayvik, Renata/Sevika, Renata/Corina, etc) show up high key or low key as secondary or background ships in a ton of my fics already.
Seraphine in my fics is mostly just everyone's queerplatonic best friend, but she works as a ship with just about anyone in her PnZ peripherals and some others, she's such a sweetie, you can pair her up with everyone from Lightcannon to Rell to Zeri to Sona and it works. Not a fan of Renataphine though. Not out to yuck anyone's yums but that one's not for me, thanks.
Sera/Scratch is my favorite of hers, though, "tsundere grunge punk rocker / sugary bubblegum pop sweetheart but they both actually care deeply about the same cause, music-rivals-to-lovers" is peak, adorable, no notes.
MLM ships I'm less familiar with but TF/Graves, Jayvik and Ezko are all great (Ezko is my favorite), I don't have enough of an opinion on characters like Kayn or Sett or Aphelios or Taric to really explore their MLM ships but they seem neat at a distance.
There are few hetero ships that I really like at all in League because most of them are either 'already married' or have some kind of one-sidedness or offputting power dynamic going. But KataGaren, Meljay, EzKaisa, Zeri/Ekko (Flashback!) and as of Ruined King, Yasuo/Ahri are all pretty good. Because they all have interesting dynamics but they're all built on respect and partnership to some degree in ways the ones I dislike are not. I'd ship Braum and Illaoi but Braum's Everyone's Big Ace Buddy energy is so powerful I don't know if I can romance-ship him with anyone.
I also don't really fw with any of Lux or Jinx's het ships. There's just something about all of them that rubs me the wrong way. Their actual character dynamics with e.g Ezreal, Ekko, Sylas are really interesting to me and I like all of those characters. But making it a ship feels wrong to me for all of them and I couldn't just straight up write any of them. Again, not here to yuck yums but not for me.
I have an idea for a Caitjinx fic (and you may recognise that I've already kinda written Caitjinx and ViLux subplots in Heartsick Lovelorn & You, albeit in a fluffy highschool setting) but my actual CJ fic would be very dark and angsty and I don't think I have the spoons to write it right now.
I do also have a surprise LaserLightShow fic in mind at some point. I have already released the prequel fic to it, on the sly, people just haven't picked it yet :)
