Goodreads asked Gary A. Nilsen:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Gary A. Nilsen Great question. So many books present individual protagonists where the story, despite any romantic attachments that may develop over the course of the narrative, focuses on the individual. I would have to say that, as of my current reading history, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are my favorites. Love and commitment tends to erode under the stress of cataclysmic events. Given the onslaught of forces seeking to destroy both Katniss and Peeta, that they were able to stand by one another in the end was satisfying. I'm sure many would go for bigger couples like Scarlett and Rhett, or Gatsby and Daisy, or even Romeo and Juliet, but given my very soft heart for dystopian stories, I have to go with Katniss and Peeta.
