Goodreads asked David Drazul:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

David Drazul This would be easier to answer if we were talking about TV & film, but since this is a site about books...

I confess: There aren't many memorable couples in the books I've read. I don't know why that is. Typically the protagonist is single and sometimes finds love, but there's no "couple" until the book is over. However, there are three that come to mind.

#3) John Perry and Jane Sagan in Scalzi's Old Man's War series. Proving that love never dies even after one of you has died and been "re-born" as someone else.

#2) Olivia Lawson and SK in M. Terry Green's Technoshaman series. The rules said that they couldn't be together because things will explode. Literally. Love defies the rules.

#1) Bob and Mo in Stross's Laundry series. When you're an IT guy who deals with extra-dimensional beings that want to eat your brain, it's good to know that you can come home to someone who loves you and can slay demons with a soul sucking violin from hell.
