I ship both Skyeward and Ten/Rose (why don't they have a cool ship name??) so much. I recently got into AOS, and Skyeward. Things are angsty now, but I truly believe that Ward can be redeemable, and that his feelings for Skye are real, and that she has genuine feelings for him, too.

As for Ten/Rose, they are really my favorite ship. Like, ever. Words can't quite describe how much I ship them, or how strongly I feel about them. I still cry if I even think about Doomsday too much, and watching it turns me into a puddle of tears.

The bond the Doctor and Rose share goes was beyond just romance or affection, they have seen so much and done so much. Especially the Doctor, but Rose, too. The Doctor took Rose from her boring, mundane life, showed her the multiverse and helped her to be extraordinary herself.

Rose really helped the Doctor heal from the Time War, she brought back the humanity in him, that he had almost lost due to his actions in ending the Time War. The difference between angsty Nine and the much happier Ten (in season 2, that is) is dramatic.

And after Rose leaves... it's obvious how much the Doctor loves her, and how much she loves him. They are my OTP. (and wow, this has turned into a mini-essay, oops.)

Oh, as for fics... it's hard to recommend just one, there are so many excellent ones I've read. But if I had to choose, it would probably be Alternatively by Kathryn Shadow. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4093122/1/Alternatively Basically, it's perfect.

I hardcore ship Skye and Ward. I can't really explain why well, but I'll try. I think Skye and Ward are set up in many ways as parallel figures and foils. They have aspects that are reflecting in the other. They grew up without real family (abusive ones and foster families leaving) and were basically forced to be on their own by the age of 16. They have mentor figures that really shape their personalities- with completely opposite approaches and intentions. Garrett tells Ward he's weak for having compassion while Coulson praises Skye for her compassion in the same episode as she calls it a weakness.

They also bring out the emotions in each other. On the same side or opposite sides, they're always pushing and pulling each other like magnets. Now making someone emotional isn't always the best, but I think the people who inspire that kind of passion do so for a reason.

I think Ward is definitely redeemable in the MCU where weirder and darker things have happened. I have great sympathy for his backstory (and the abuse that continued when he was under Garrett.) Plus, I think he'll understand Skye better than you'd think with everything that's going on with her now.

Ugh, YES. You just said everything I was thinking/feeling, but articulated it much better. :P
