Goodreads asked Beth Hudson:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Beth Hudson Interestingly enough, my favorite fictional couple is not a fantasy couple. It is Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane from Dorothy Sayers' brilliant mystery novels. Both characters are complex and interesting by themselves, and their relationship is based on intelligence, similar world views, and respect. Neither of them is dominant; they are equals (in a time when women were not highly respected). Both of them are extremely self-honest people, which adds depth to their relationship. And their interplay is fascinating, the tensions between them based on quick minds and at times almost brutal honesty. "Gaudy Night" is the book where the author decided to resolve their issues, and is one of my favorite books.
