The reason I ship couples like Steroline (Vampire Diaries, Stefan Salvatore x Caroline Forbes) is that they fell for each other when they had no one left to love. When all their other options had been exhausted.
To me, that love is the kind that screams I will love you. I will love you because I have no one left to love. And I don’t know what that love will become if I don’t spend it on you.
Ironically, this is the exact reason people don’t ship it/view it as a forced relationship. While I can very well see the reasoning behind this, I think that they make for a sort of stubborn love that, in it’s own way, is a choice. A desperate one but a choice nonetheless.
