+ OTP for them.
+ Runner-up pairing.
+ Honorable mention(s).
+ Crack pairing(s).
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't. (alternately: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate)

Gendo Ikari!

+ OTP for them.

Gendo/Yui. It's either a very loving and redeeming relationship pre-death, or a mutually exploitative relationship between two magnificent bastards. Well, one magnificent bastard and Gendo.

+ Runner-up pairing.

Gendo/Kozo. They're both love's Yui's bitch, but at least Fuyutsuki knows it. Doing Gendo would also be Fuyutsuki's way of being with Yui. If he can't have her, he'll have the man that was with her.

+ Honorable mention(s).

Gendo/Rei. Creepy as hell, but scarily believable. I can see Gendo projecting a lot of his feelings of Yui onto Rei, and Rei doesn't even know how to begin processing Gendo's emotions and actions.

+ Crack pairing(s).

Gendo/Misato. Because he's laid every other command level staff member at NERV HQ, and she'll be redirecting inappropriate feelings about Shinji and her father into an affair with Gendo. Unlike the Akagis, Misato would also have no illusions about how little their liaisons amount to.

+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't. (alternately: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate)

Gendo/Ritsuko as anything genuinely healthy. It pops up now and again, but I just can't see them ever having a functional relationship. They're both far too messed up.

Your logic behind Gendo/Misato is approximately the best thing ever.

I can't believe I haven't seen it. (Haven't looked very hard, I admit.)

Also, have you seen mayonaka-tv.jp?

I had not.
