Well, since Valentine's Day is coming up, I'll say Vlad and Cawti from Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos books. Easily the realest, most heartwrenching breakup in fiction, at least in anything I've read.
Runner-up, for sheer balls: Detective Miller and Julie Mao from LEVIATHAN WAKES. Basically a love story between a more or less normal human being and Tetsuo from AKIRA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awc1Z...), with the added bonus that the mutant fleshmass is also capable of turning space stations into starships and otherwise doing violence to the laws of physics. Cute!

Why do people call the dragons 'it' in Streets of Flame? And why does that change sometimes? Zaya usually says 'it' for all dragons, but sometimes uses 'he' and 'she' for Bandit as well. Cer uses 'she' for Bandit. The Visitor's Guide uses 'it'. Are the dragons hermaphrodites maybe?
