Goodreads asked Aaron Safronoff:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Aaron Safronoff I'm assuming written examples of fiction -- good reads, right? My narrow exposure to the Romance genre probably cripples my response, but so what, I'm going with Many Waters, by Madeleine L'Engle, and the love triangle of Dennys, Sandy, and Yalith. (I had to look all the names up, the essence pulled from deep memory.) I fell in love with Yalith, too -- I was likely single digit years at the time -- and I've never forgotten that feeling. Yalith showed extraordinary caring, nursing one of the "normal" boys back from death, and I can still feel the warmth of her hands. When I finished reading the story, I felt bittersweet pangs for the first time in my life; I missed them, and their affection for one another. Great love.
Okay, now, my movie answer even though you didn't invite it: Disney's Fox and the Hound. "We'll be friends forever, won't we..." said by the young Fox, still makes me cry! Even right now, goosebumps and threatened tears. So vivid.
Honest answers. If you want a more adult version of the answers, I have those, too. ;-)
Cheers!
