I am not Amy but I heartily request tragic and/or non-canon ships. (Tragic non-canon ships, otherwise known as Magneto and Professor X, also known as bawling to "Rolling in the Deep" while eating ice cream even though I'm lactose intolerant.)
I haven't watched How I Met Your Mother in many a moon, but I do love Robin and Barney together. I think one of my favorite moments for them was the summer they spent pretending they weren't together to the rest of their friends, while continually sneaking back to the apartment to make out. Something about the subterfuge was awfully endearing, as well as the fact that they can't stay away from each other too long. Awww.
And Belle and Rumpelstiltskin are just… I really don't like "Beauty and the Beast" as a fairy tale, but Once Upon a Time does it in a way that gives Belle such warmth and agency that I adore her—and them, of course. Plus, I have this thing for older male/younger female couples where the younger female has a great deal of power and agency in the relationship, so they're perfect for me. I think my favorite moment for them as a couple is Belle asking Rumpelstiltskin out for hamburgers. She's just made it very clear that hamburgers may very well just be hamburgers, but the way she asks and the way he responds just speaks volumes about how much they like, respect, and love each other as people, even if Rumpelstiltskin has a difficult time believing that he deserves her.
In conclusion, they should totally make out more.
I would also like to mention Madame Vastra and her wife from Doctor Who, because it's established that Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes and Watson on them, and there's something delicious about Moffat doing that.
