From Frodo & Sam to Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser, duos in fantasy are among my favorite reads - let's make a list of the best ones. Hopefully I'll find some new titles to pick-up because of it.

NOTE: When discussing a duo that is in multiple books, please list the first book in which they appear together
