This is a list of rare pairs that are kinda becoming otps for me or at least interest me that barely have any fics on ao3, no posts on Tumblr and I feel like no one talks about them or thinks it's a positive or even knows about them: (they'll probably go from most popular to least)
McChapel- This is probably an otp, in my mind it's just cute m/f healthy stereotypical family stuff that a few people like but they're definitely a rarepair
Scones/McScotty- A lot more rare, doesn't help that one of the variants of their ship name is a baked good (a very baked good). I love them because they're the parents of the Enterprise, they're both in quintessential sectors of the ship, Scotty radiates chaotic dad energy, Bones is the epitome of the mother hen 😘👌
Here comes the poly ship combinations
McChirk (Bones x Chapel x Jim)- It's a perfect combination of 2 of my favourite ships, there is a bit of content on ao3 for them which is amazing but not enough to satisfy my needs 😂
McChuhura (Bones x Christine x Uhura)- I need Christine and Uhura being queens and Bones being in awe of them at all times, that's literally it
Spuhurk (Spock x Uhura x Jim)- The movies kinda set this up in the jj Abrams films by having them be the trio rather than Jim, Spock and Bones. It's a combination of 2 of my background ships (spirk and spuhura)
McScirk(Bones x Scotty x Jim)- It's just the three shirt colours all coming together, scotty being stable, jim being cute and empathetic and bones being caring
McScock (Bones x Scotty x Spock)- Bones brings the physical wellbeing, Spock brings the mental wellbeing (arguably), Scotty brings the emotional wellbeing. Spock forces Bones and Scotty to wash, Bones berates them lovingly in sickbay after an away mission and accidents in sickbay, Scotty helps them be less emotionally repressed
McScork (Bones x Scotty x Spock x Jim)- It's just a weird combination of all their other ships because why pick a ship or have ship wars when they can all just love each other in a healthy polyamorous relationship
Have you noticed a pattern? I think all of my ships bar like spirk and uhotty (which is a great ship name because I just say "You Hotty!") include Bones. He's my favourite and my favourite character's should fear for my life because I live vicariously through them and use them to vent and project onto so...
Add any other rarepairs you have a fancy for and I genuinely want to write something for most of these ships if I haven't already just so even if there's just 1 other person in the world who ships it and speaks english who thinks no one else ships it that they see otherwise
Please tell me of your rarepairs, I'm a sucker for them because I apparently love to get myself into fandoms where there's no promise of new content for the character I love and ships with little to no followers and content. I hope you got some ideas, maybe someone will find something they like? I don't know, I hope you enjoyed it!
