While I haven't posted any of those yet, I've already finished and posted a few #HQRareShips with less than 30 fics, some with less than half of that, including those where they're just the side ship or in collections of shorts for ships made by randomisers.

What a delicious load of #HQRareShips! SemiOsa was a first time for me.
Like I told Berry, these don't necessarily all have to be in the same story, could be different versions of the same ship.
The unfilled circles mean I'm thinking about it.

You know they would.

Also this post keeps bringing up different #HQRareShips and I'm enjoying them.

I'm principally against Valentine's Day, as an industrial commercial occasion and personally.

I know there are many events and exchanges and V-Day specific fan content, though. So, Idk how I'd feel if someone made gorgeous fanworks for one of my absolute favourite #HQRareShips for one of those.

About to start drafting a completely new POV fic for one of my absolute favourites (the ship).

#HQRareShips

Didn't get to any of these #HQRareShips in 2025.

Though I did a lot of #AranSahi shorts here, and got to talk to people a little about YakuNoya, EnnoFuku, KenFuku, YamaOsaSuna, and ofc, UshiNoya.

(I don't do top/bottom in ship names, these are just how I'd think they'd be easier to pronounce.)

I love reading everyone's listing of their favourite #HQRareShips, but apart from my top 3 Asahi ships, UshiNoya, YakuNoya, and HinaInu, I don't think I could list or rank them.

Instead I revive this for anyone interested. Except KuroDai, OiSuga, and AtsuHina, all my favourites are rare ships.

Happy to have been an instigator. Love seeing how the whole thing made people post about their top rare pairs, and maybe the feed gets to be a place for more ideas and discussion and just people talking about that little itch in the corner of their mind.
