Goodreads asked Kristin Butcher:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Kristin Butcher Truthfully, I cringe when asked superlative questions, because I find it nearly impossible to say something is better than everything else. My favourite fictional couple? There are so many -- human and otherwise. How does one choose? In comic strips (which are fictional) I have always loved Calvin and Hobbes -- Hobbes is so sweet and Calvin is so bad. I remember reading Wuthering Heights in university and being consumed by the impossible love between Heathcliff and Catherine. However, the couple my mind returns to again and again is Claire and Jamie from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. How can a reader not rejoice in their relationship? Theirs is a love we all aspire to.
