TV/Film "Buddies" Who Should Have Ended Up Together

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Holmes and Yoyo

Beavis and Butthead

Martin Hart and Rust Cohle from True Detective

Fuck Peggy Carter. This was the love story we deserved.

Turner and Hooch. (Both from the movie and from Scrubs.)

I always thought Potsie would make a great wife for Fonzie. I can see him being very attentive to the Fonz' needs.

True r5. My heart was broken I tell you.

Charles and Buddy from “Charles in Charge”.

Will Robinson and Doctor Smith in Lost In Space

Sal Mineo and James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause

Randal and Dante in Clerks

Dwight Schrute and Jim Halpert

Only in my dreams

Keanu and River in "My Own Private Idaho"

Geordie and Chris in "Stand By Me"

Bill and Ted

Tango and Cash

I always thought that Titanic should have ended with Rose, Jack, and Cal all getting together. Instead of any of them surviving, there should have been an extended three-way sex scene, with them so distracted with their newly found taboo sex acts that they don't even know that the ship is sinking. Then after they have all satisfied each other's lust, they would go up on deck amidst all the chaos and see that all the lifeboats are gone. They share one last group kiss, and Rose turns to her two men and says, "Before I died had the chance to get double fucked. I have no regrets." THE END

These guys

R15. Who said they didn’t?

Definitely Julio and Tenoch in Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Thelma and Louise.

Chico and the Man

Colin Firth & Hart Bochner in Apartment Zero

All Might and Sir Nighteye

All Might and David Shield

Dom and Brian

R10 Will Robinson? The CHILD? What's wrong with you?

This thread is basically a shout-out slash fiction.

This thread is basically a shout-out slash fiction.

Dr. Smith and Major West from "Lost In Space".

Channing Tatum & Jamie Bell in Eagle

Logan and Billy in 'Westworld'

Kip and Henry on Bosom Buddies.

Used to jerk off thinking about these two together

Reed & Malloy on Adam-12........

Ross and Richie on The Patty Duke Show

Beaver and Gilbert on Leave It To Beaver, if not those two, then Richie and Gilbert.

I guess I mean Ross & RIchard, Patty's boyfriend. Or Richard and Mr. Lane.......

A REALLY obscure one: There was an old Western TV show called "Tombstone Territory" featuring a hot sheriff and a DILF newspaper editor. Major vibes between the two.

Ha, you're right [R7]

#Metvlostinspace on twitter, guys are always lusting after Penny, and commenting on Dr.Smith and Will. R10

One of the best gay stories I've ever read is Cost of Love by Alexis Rogers, a Starsky and Hutch slash fanfic. I first encountered it at Nifty during the mid 90s and fell in love with its rawness and darkness. I was in my early 20s then and had no idea how many gay sex stories were written by women, Cost of Love included. To be honest it seems many times women manage to bring in certain emotional aspect to the stories guys writing with a dick in the other hand are unable to. And some women do nail they gay sex part as well.

I haven't read the story in years but one day soon I'll return there, especially since it took half an hour to track it down after all these years. BTW, it's longer than a regular short story, 23,000 words which is about a 60 to100 page novella. Enjoy.

Velvet Brown and The Pie

R37, that show is free on Anazon Prime.

Mcgarrett and Danny on the new Hawaii 5-0. They were practically married.

Kirk and Spock, the originals.

Definitely Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I have the hots for Sean Astin. His last scene with Frodo was heartbreaking.

Raj and Rerun

Brandon Walsh and Dylan McKay, 90210

Jack Tripper and Larry Dallas

Elio and Oliver

Athelstan and Ragnar

Another vote for Ross and Richard on the Patty Duke Show. They had excellent chemistry together, and I always imagined that they were jerking off together, out of sight of Patty and her family.

Joey and Chandler from Friends

Gilligan and Skipper or, more to my liking, Gilligan and the Professor

Smith and Jones (but only the Pete Deuel Smith).

Drake and Josh

Scott and Isaac from Teen Wolf

R46 I want to be there the night Joe refuses to just be the bottom any more.

Scott Wolf and Ryan Phillippe in White Squall.

These two.

Peter and Quagmire.

Cheech and Chong

Wasn't there an episode of the new Hawaii 5-O where Steve and Danny had to stake out in someone's apartment and the next door neighbor assumed they were a couple upon first meeting them? I'm surprised it only happened once during the entire run of the series, other than people saying "You two ACT just like an old married couple".

Hubbell and JJ

Drs House and Wilson.

They rode off into the sunset together in the series finale, but not TOGETHER together.

Steve McGarret and Danny Williams. They were made for each other.

For some reason I can easily imagine Scott Caan in her place in this scene.

I always thought the true chemistry on Twin Peaks was between Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman. I could never see Cooper with any woman.

R54 the last season and the TV movies of DRAKE & JOSH are bursting with so much innuendo and so many gags about them having gay sex or romantic intimacy, it’s ridiculous. In the Xmas movie, Josh angrily tells Drake off in one scene by grabbing his wrist and hissing at him, “NEVER put your finger in me AGAIN”. There’s also a scene where a monkey kisses a sleeping Drake awake (don’t ask, it’s a weird show), and a groggy Drake tiredly assumes that Josh is the one kissing him. It’s amazing.

Even the other characters react to them as if they’re a couple and not friends. It’s subtextually implied that their mean little sister knows or suspects (and doesn’t care).

R21 there’s an entire movie about that pairing. Look up ‘Cherik First Class’ online.

Barnabas And his Bat. Anyone but the ware wolf.

-l

Cagney and Lacey.

Imagine the fun with that trunk...

Kate and Allie, Will and Grace, Cagney and Lacey, Laverne and Shirley, Ned and Stacey, Dharma snd Greg.

Riff and Tony

Kim Kelly and Lindsay

Jack and Ennis

r28 that would be a good idea for an actual thread of it’s own.

R86 there have been several threads about it over the years.

Professor X and Magneto

Sherlock and John Watson from BBC Sherlock

Steve Harrington and Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things (not that they were buddies but there was plenty of sexual tension in that shower scene, wasn't there?)

Quentin Coldwater and Eliot Waugh from The Magicians

Dick Winters and Lewis Nixon from Band of Brothers (I actually think they were a secret couple in real life but the times wouldn't let them be together for real so Lewis Nixon married a woman and became a sad alcoholic). Here's a pic of the real Dick Winters and Lewis Nixon (they both look hot):

Grace and Frankie

Batman and Robin

Naruto and Sasuke

Nell and Addy

Dawson and Joey in Dawson's Creek.

Jaws - Captain Quint and Sheriff Brody. Hooper the marine biologist could make a third.

The two hot dudes from Shadowhunters.

Still haven’t seen the last year.

John-Boy Walton and Ike Godsey.

Will and EJ from Days of Our Lives.

Sperm to sperm...I mean "worm".

What is Frau-Authored Fan Fiction

I'll take "Fraus and the Internet" for $300, please Alex

Merlin and Arthur

Harvey and Mike of course

Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. Running Scared, 1986.

R93 then the real true lawful OTP Andie/Pacey could have had their deserved happy ending and day in the sun together.

Vicar Sidney Chambers and Detective Geordie Keating

Hello?

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned Tod and Buz, and later Linc, on “Route 66.”

This is totally the premise for all the slash fanfiction in existence.

[quote]Vicar Sidney Chambers and Detective Geordie Keating

The last scene of James Norton's was of he and Geordie holding hands. What could have been for the vicar and good detective.

Pretty sure Thelma & Louise and Butch & Sundance did end up together.

Holmes and Watson in the Cumberbatch version.

Or pretty much any version. But that one especially.

Then there's this.

Rick Blaine and Louis Renault in Casablanca.

Bruce & Dick.

Back in 1978 when I was still an innocent grade school kid, I told my mother I was certain Starbuck and Apollo would end up married because they were definitely in love with each other. My mother kindly told me she didn't think so, but we'd just have to see. I thought she was really stupid for not being able to see such an obvious truth. Alas...

[quote] Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor - Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Felt a twinge in my heart when I read this. Still hurts all these years later.

And it’s even worse when you learn of the deep love Maul has for his blood brother (another man), and his reluctance to follow the Sith Code so adamantly (Maul was essentially enslaved as a Sith). He probably wouldn’t have been so quick to kill Qui-Gon had he known more about the relationship the two Jedi shared (platonic or romantic, doesn’t matter), and about the Grey Jedi path that Qui-Gon was following.

R113 daresay, Master Jason may have something to say to the contrary...

Enjolras and Grantaire's unrequited love

McMurphy & KC.

Starsky and Hutch - the sexual tension between these 2 was almost unbearable and needed a "happy ending"

Contested definition of ‘buddies’, as during the plot they fell out and became rivals, but try and tell me Iceman & Pyro in the Fox/Bryan Singer X-MEN movies realistically would or should not have been banging at some point.

In the first and second parts of the original trilogy, there were a handful of scenes that made it seem like Pyro was jealous of Rogue because she had Iceman’s romantic attention, e.g. one scene where Pyro does tricks with his powers in class to get Rogue to stop flirting with Iceman and to goad Iceman into using his own powers, and; another scene where the three are on the run (from government agents trying to medically ‘cure’ them of their mutation), Pyro wants to leave Rogue behind in considerable danger - to look for her mentor/father-figure Wolverine, as she insists she must - while he takes off with Iceman alone.

Then in the third part, Pyro, who by this time has switched allegiances to a militant antagonist group of mutants working against Iceman and co., stakes out his former friend Iceman on a mission. Pyro does not immobilise the other boy or attack him but instead immediately begins confronting and taunting him about his girlfriend Rogue’s disappearance, with weird dialogue that is threatening but also flirtatious by the metric of normal American teen boy friendship.

Just a theory; the confusing ambiguity of their interaction makes it feel as if the Director wanted them to show an overt homoerotic tension or hint at some kind of gay relationship, but other influences working on the film - studio Execs, co-writers - did not allow it.

Sonny and Dot in "It's a Living".

Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans in Bulletproof. They were so clearly ex-lovers, all it would’ve taken was one sentence like “we’re not high school boyfriends anymore...” and the whole movie would’ve made much more sense.

And Bulletproof Hearts would have made a much better title. Maybe they should remake it.

OP you have the support of Sean Astin no less on that idea!

[quote] ASTIN: "How d'ya know they didn't [kiss]? It's a long trek to Mordor...and [the cast] loved the gay fanfiction when it came out....whatever people want to conceptualise for [Sam & Frodo] is fine with us."

R20, ugh, no. Hermione should have stayed single and become the headmistress at Hogwarts.

Harry and Remus Lupin, maybe, or Colin Creevy, had he lived.

R143 yes, Harry & Hermione had a sibling relationship, essentially. It's gross even thinking about them as a couple. I actually think the same about Ron & Hermione, and Ron & Harry, but I suppose shippers would disagree and then present me with creepy manifestos about reasons why. I enjoy shipping some of the time, but there are some stories where platonic relationships form the core of a story and are important because they aren't romantic -- HP is one such.

In the books and the films it struck me that Harry seemed curiously asexual. Even his relationship with Ginny and his crushes on Cho and Cedric were sort of detached in nature. There's a case for him being fairly Aspergic, or at least too traumatised by his childhood abuse to really participate fully in intimate relations. Again, this is just a theory, I'm not a HP fan (much prefer LOTR if we're talking 00s fantasy blockbusters), and there are plenty of nutty Potter fans who'll shout me down over it, so I'm not sticking staunchly to those guns.

As for Harry & Remus...if you like Daddy kink, I guess. It alarmed me when someone brought my attention to the sheer numbers of fans and fanworks about an intimate relationship between Harry and his other teachers or guardians, i.e., Dumbledore, Snape, and Sirius Black. You can't bleach your brain free of that stuff. To be fair, though, perhaps it's a protective fannish response meant to flood the Harry Potter character with love and attention and touch he did not receive in youth. Idk, this is all quite weird deep water for me.

Hmm r109 pretty sure the only place Thelma and Louise ended up in was splattered on the floor of the canyon.

Agreed, R144, including about Remus, and totally agree about the character HP that Rowling built really was more asexual than anything else. The Cho Chang and the Hermione/Ron and the Ginny/HP things were never believable at all to me.

I do think it could have been sweet if Colin Creevy had lived and, like Neville Longbottom, was revealed to be not just an ordinary nerd, but a brave and heroic one, and he and Harry ended up together.

But again, ugh. I can't believe I'm even thinking about all this.

I'm still wondering about House and Wilson.

Archie and Frank in "Gallipoli".

Is this thread aimed at fraus who write slash fiction?

Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans.

Bunny Rabbit and Mr. Moose should have had a thing, too.

Peter and Neal from White Collar.

Harry Potter & Cedric Diggory

Sam and Frodo did end up together. The story went that, as a Ring Bearer, Sam passed to the West from the Grey Havens as Frodo did, leaving his family behind. When Aragorn died, Legolas took Gimli there, too, as another pair who "should have ended up together."

Mortals are mortal and would eventually die, even in the Western Lands. But they could die of their own free will, so this foursome plus Gandalf could have revisited those lusty days of the Fellowship. If they chose. They would have been old but they would have been healed and well enough for anything.

Tolkien said, "they would eventually pass away (die at their own desire and of free will) to destinations of which the Elves knew nothing.”

Any non-pedo same-sex combination of [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic] characters.

Roy and Moss from The IT Crowd I love them both.

For r136, my favorite Enjolras (cutest, anyway). Hard to know which one is Grantaire.

......

These two. The stuffy Harriet would have come around. I think she'd rather have a son-in-law than a daughter in law. Nellie would love it!

Reed and Malloy

Tone and Christafuh.

Ida Corwin and Mildred Pierce

The Leo Di Caprio and Brad Pitt characters in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".

This pair works on multiple level for me: John and Paul should have stick together, Paul is so a better fuck than Yoko. Thomas Sangster and Aaron johnson should have fuck during the weeks of shooting, if they haven't their loss. The director should have pick up the hint and shot a scene of the two making tender love: in any case a success.

Professor McGonagall and Cho Chang, of course.

McGarrett and Dano

Didn’t even remember the Emergency 51 dudes or the Adam 12 guys.

They had great chemistry.

Mac & Dennis

Andy and Venus from "WKRP in Cincinnati."

Chester Tate and Benson from "Soap."

Dennis Franz and James McDaniel from "NYPD Blue."

Ward Bond and Robert Horton from "Wagon Train."

I cannot believe it's been over 165 entries and no mention of Race Bannon and Dr. Quest from "Johnny Quest."

Vinnie Terranova and Roger Lococco on the TV show, Wiseguy.

Messala and Judah in Ben-Hur

Brenda and Gary on ‘Rhoda.’

I really thought Super bad was going to end in Jonah Hill and Michael Cera kissing. Jonah is gross but it just seemed headed that way

Come on, you know it.

Buck & Eddie 9-1-1

Clark & Oliver on Smallville

Ollie & Roy on Arrow

Bill & Ted

In the pipeline. Spock & Pike

A scandalous Coach Taylor & young protege Matt Saracen

Kirk and Uhura

Mannix and Peggy

Hooper and Quint in Jaws showing off their scars and singing Spanish Ladies were about to start making out.

R172 no we don't because they're brothers, dipshit.

R163 the director was fucking Aaron Johnson, no?

Karl Urban and Michael Ealy from Almost Human. The chemistry was off the charts. Canceling that show was a crime.

I liked Michael Ealy together with Warren Kole, too, on Common Law.

Fonzie and Richie

Roger Sterling and Don Draper, in Palm Springs.

Ryan Atwood and Seth Cohen

No, R174, it was Clark and Lex.

My god they had fantastic chemistry.

R187 Ryan deserves better than Seth.

R188 if only Lex hadn't met Clark when he was 14.

Duncan & Fraser in The Night Watch

Malcolm Tucker and Sir Jonathan Tutt In The Loop

Kara and Lena in "Supergirl".

Penguin and The Riddler in Gotham

Bosom Buddies

And for the ladies, these two:

Stabler and Benson

The two guys from Nip/Tuck

R111, you should watch Elementary.

Joe Buck did choose Ratso in the end, surely?

In another Schlesinger film, Daniel and Alex should have both kicked Bob to the kerb and BECOME buddies. They could have had much nicer lives with each other in them. Their existing friends were horrid.

Marty DePolo (played by Mike Damus) & Steve Beauchamp (played by Corbin Allred—the Mormon actor/hot paramedic, not the singer) chased girls and went through the usual rigmarole of straight teen-dating, but at the end of the day they stayed single and stayed devoted to one another...impressive and romantic considering one was technically dead. They had the most physical-affectionate and emotionally-expressive male friendship on ABC/Disney in the late ‘90s, and it was beautiful.

Add pretty Jordan Brower to make it an OT3.

These roommates

Fred Sanford and Grady

Chet Huntley and David Brinkley
