Welcome to the finals of the Unofficial Top AO3 Relationships Bracket!
Many people on Tumblr might have engaged in the practice of "shipping" in relation to "media". Some, according to legend, even have opinions on these matters.
If the above happens to apply to you, you might be eligible to vote in this bracket! We have pitted the most popular pairings on archiveofourown.org against each other to see who will emerge victorious. Final polls drop on Thursday October 12th at 3PM CST, and will run for a full week.
Check current vote counts here!
Further information is below the cut!
How was the bracket made?
This bracket was made based off centreoftheselights's data on the most-written pairings of all time, and edited to fit into a workable bracket. Matchups were seeded according to number of works.
This is a platonic/familial relationship, not a ship! Why is it on a ship bracket?
The top relationships on AO3 include both platonic and romantic/sexual relationships; so does this bracket. If the relationship is formatted as "[Character X] & [Character Y]" it is not a romantic pairing. If it is formatted as "[Character X]/[Character Y]" it is. (For efficiency, when a pairing showed up as both & and / in the data, only the higher-ranked version was chosen.)
What are your stances on voter fraud, etc.?
Fight for your blorbos however your honor dictates (though we ask that you don't DDOS Tumblr, and preferably do not commit any murders which can be traced back to us).
I have an issue with [x] being included in this poll.
This poll is a celebration of fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement of anything included in the bracket, and refrain from harassment.
In general, please remember that this is intended to be a fun time for the wide community which is fandom culture, and treat each other with respect!
Bracket Schedule!

I am genuinely surprised to see msr make it this far in the ao3 top ships poll seeing how The X files is a 30 year old show. What a fandom😳

One of reasons I love Scully so much is bc how unapologetic she is about being jealous and having daddy issues. It never makes her a less strong or independent female character.
Female characters like that are so rare now. Nowadays so many female characters are portrayed as just plain rude and arrogant because writers (and audiences) think that's synonymous with Strong® and Independent®, and as soon as they show even a trace of a personal flaw, immediately the narrative has to show their tragic backstory or something

it's so hard making a favorite episode list, I tried but couldn't, because there are like 5 eps I want to put in #1, 8 eps I want to put in my top 5, and 20 episodes I want to put into top 10

great list, very well written episode descriptions, I agree with 90%
here are some of my faves that aren't on the list: Arcadia (i'd put in top 5), Dreamland, Musings of CSM, X-cops (I just love how Scully tries to steer Mulder away from the camera in that scene), Rain King

CSM: why couldn't the alien park his ufo
Mulder: I don't know, why
CSM: because he couldn't find a SPACE😉
Mulder: that is such a lame dad joke
CSM: it's funny you should mention that

In my opinion csm shouldn't have given up on writing just because his first published story got rewritten and the magazine wasn't the fucking Newyorker.
It's hard enough to get anything published, one story is just a start.
He should have kept writing, instead of instantly being like Man the world Fucking Sucks, my life has no meaning, back to conspiracies and manipulation and chainsmoking I guess
I think it's kind of funny that all CSM does in season 1 is stand around in the background smoking his cigarettes and looking mysterious, like I don't even think he has any lines and Mulder and Scully don't have the slightest idea who he is at this point, as far as they know he's just some random dude who's blatantly eavesdropping on all their meetings with Blevins and Skinner but he's not an assistant director or a deputy director or any kind of superior that they know about, he just looks vaguely important but for all they know he's somebody's visiting cousin or the janitor or another screenwriter or novelist getting an inside look at the FBI for his latest work

We NEED to talk about Scully’s birthday scene in Tempus Fugit!!! I was a MESS, I couldn’t focus for the rest of the episode!!! Here’s why:
1) Mulder using Scully’s full name in the song
2) the running gag about him remembering her birthday
3) Scully: “DOG years?! Thank you 😒”
Mulder: “you’re welcome :)”
4) Scully trying to blow out the sparkler, girl what?! You’re a scientist, use that big brain of yours!
5) Mulder got her a present!!! And he was soooooo excited to give it to her. (Of course, he was only that happy because it was her though…)
“Something that reminded me of you”
“What, an alien implant?” (No Scully, he cares about you outside of the X-files too!)
“Two actually, I made em into earrings” HE IS SO UNSERIOUS
Edit: @limit-of-heat just reminded me that they thought this could be Scully’s last birthday… and now I’m going to cry, thanks for nothing! Put it into a whole new perspective for me - Mulder is celebrating her birthday for once because he knows he might never get another opportunity…
Okay, look, I’m a lesbian BUT Mulder is so precious in this scene:
Tumblr media
Like THAT’S MY COMFORT CHARACTER RIGHT THERE!!!
Scully being embarrassed by Mulder saying his theory always gets me…
Mulder's littol wave 🤏🤏🤏
PLEASE tell me Pendrell was not flirting with Scully-
———
O…okay… Mulder’s just undressing in front of Scully… yeah I’m normal!!!!!!!!!
Mulder: I’d go with you [to the mental institution] but I’m worried they’d lock me up
Scully: me too
I MEAN THEY’RE NOT WRONG BUT-
Also, Scully’s deep analysis of the present, and then Mulder saying “I just thought it was a pretty cool keychain” as if he’s not the one always looking for a deeper meaning
