ah, well i'm junhaoist4life - because they were the first svts i knew or cared about, because my INTRODUCTION to them was the insanity of cyzj, because diasporafeels and heightened circumstances of forced proximity and shared history and dependency... because to me they can never be endgame and they're too different and hard to love, but they also can't escape each other and maybe will never find another person they can be so comfortable with/develop as much hard-earned knowledge of and forgiveness for as they have w each other... to me it's the most realistic type of love, where you want and need a lot from another person who inevitably fails you, but you can choose to stay and accept all the ways that they can't be what you need bc the relationship has become about so much more than that.

verhao - it may not be super obvious that i like this pairing based on my fic consumption/production, but that's bc i mostly appreciate what they are irl and don't have particular desires for anything else... to me it's about the mutual admiration since their trainee days, role-reversal of vernon taking care of minghao at times and being kind of audacious/cheeky to push minghao's boundaries in a good way, and later on xmh leaning into a rare hyung position as a 97z that i think is fun (if you don't feed vernon he'll just eat bread and jam! TT)

boohui - this isn't a pairing that incites really intense feelings in me per se, but i think enamored seungkwan is such a sweet thing to witness and wen "don't love me" junhui makes it even funnier and makes you really wonder what it is about jun that seungkwan likes so much, if it's the traits that seungkwan doesn't have access to or something else. in general, i like pairings where at least one person is constantly being disarmed by the other (often bc of contrasts, or aspirations/expectations), and a lot of jun pairings can fulfill that but i like boohui especially bc of my january cap, earth moon friend seungkwan... and it goes both ways! in my soulmates au, i hinted at how they could kind of hate each other under different circumstances, so for them to be so fond now even with potential/real friction is also smthg that i appreciate. fwiw, boohui beat out seokhan for third place bc this answer is already too lengthy for me to get into yjh dynamics.
