Buffy/Faith (Bad Girls of my heart! Still my main OTP for BtVS I think), Willow/vampire!Willow (in the wishverse, I think I wore out the homemade VHS tape on that licking scene, to my mother's distress), Willow/Tara. I've heard a lot of hate for Willow/Tara more recently, which I feel might be partly due to ways the canon has aged poorly, and partly bitterness over not only how it ended what with the death and all, but all the shit they were put through before that, with Willow's atrocious magic addiction arc and her mindfucking/abusing Tara, Tara being mindfucked by Glory and spending a while all childlike and needing to be cared for...stuff like that that just kind of didn't let them be a couple. But it was actually my first unmistakably canon f/f, and it meant a lot to my tiny gay heart, and I really cried a pathetic amount when Tara died and later when Skye or whoever channeled her.

Xena, obviously, I just sort of got the Gay Energy off that show in general, though I was too young to be deep into Xena/Gabrielle fandom or anything. Just heart-eyes at the whole thing, at Xena/Gabrielle, Xena/Callisto, Xena/Lao Ma, etc.

On Farscape, Chiana was very much My Type (cute, femme, promiscuous, deadly) and I was pretty excited when she hooked up with that androgyne, though that's not strictly f/f, it wasn't het either. I loved her interactions with Jool, too. I can't remember how aware of shipping them I was then or if I just kind of wanted to bone both of them separately, but I sure ship them now.

On Lexx, Xev was also My Type (see above) and there was this one episode where she meets a goth girl who hits on her embarrassingly the whole episode (until she dies or something, everyone dies on Lexx) and the whole thing would probably be really cringey on rewatch, but I both 1) wanted a goth gf a lot, and 2) wanted them to fuck, c'mon Xev you're always caterwauling for fucks like a cat in heat just try green eggs and pussy this once.

I remember before Star Trek: Enterprise came out I thought T'Pol was mondo hot from the promo images, then when Star Trek: Enterprise did come out, I thought the writing was bad and also T'Pol and Hoshi weren't kissing enough, but I dropped the show so I can't say I was fannishly invested. I'm still bitter that T'Pol had a whole romance arc with a human, and they couldn't be bothered to make it a woman, especially while pulling some kind of half-assed AIDS storyline about forbidden love.

I'm not gonna lie, I also watched Tenchi Muyo! on Toonami, and it was pretty obvious Ryoko and Aeka were antagonistically in love.

Oh gosh that Lexx ep with the baby goth lesbian! I loved that girl. And she almost got it on with the carnivorous plant lady, right? I was rooting for her. (But yeah, then she dies because everyone dies on Lexx lol.)

Lykka! Oh yes, I loved Lykka too. I mean *cough* if you're into that kind of vore thing! (I was.)

I know it was the theme of the show that everyone but the Lexx crew dies and Xev never gets laid, but the baby goth lesbian so deserved better.
