Rules:
- Think of up to 20 'ships you support.
- List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
- Have your f-list guess as many of the 'ships as they can.
This was hard! I don't ship that many pairings, so I had to dig deep to come up with 20. Some of them are extremely obscure. The majority are TF pairings, but the rest are all over the damn place. I did my best not to go with the most obvious descriptions just to make it a challenge. Here we go...
EDIT: Updated with answers to the ones that have been guessed, with credit to the one that got it first. Still a few blanks left...

Have fun guessing!
The ones that no one guessed:
#4: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Joachim Armster/Walter Bernhard. Joachim was made a vampire by Walter but then rebelled, causing Walter to imprison him behind a frozen waterfall beneath the castle.
#5: Trinity Blood, Ion Fortuna/Esther Blanchett. Ion is a vampire whose foster brother betrays him. Esther is a nun.
#13: G1 Blitzwing/Astrotrain. Blitzwing's tech spec calls him a loudmouth and Astrotrain's mentions he loves surprising his enemies with his third alt mode. (Actually they both do.) I may have made the description too broad on this one, but I sorta blame the fact that so few people write fic about them, too.
