The Top Ten
1 Fathom x Indigo

So sweet! I mean, throughout the whole book, it was incredibly slow-burn and just about killed me, but at least they got together in the end.

These guys are so cute! I mean, is there a better ship, right? They were apart for so long but they clearly love each other (I blame Queen Pearl for that bit), so they are absolutely perfect for each other.

Their childhood is so cute, and even their children display their past so well. But if anyone can think of an actually good ship name, please comment!

I knew right away that this ship would be number one. I am not afraid to say that this ship is just one step away from being perfect! If Darkstalker hadn't interfered with their friendship, it would have been my favorite thing in WOF. The ship has everything it takes to earn this spot.

The part where Fathom thought he could no longer be friends with Indigo was heart-wrenching, but in the end, everything turned out to be great! I absolutely love how they were childhood friends and are loyal to each other.

I remember reading about Fathom and Indigo's childhood. Indigo made a cake for Fathom on his birthday when no one else even remembered it, and there was a time when Fathom and Indigo were splashing paint together. This is just my opinion, but I think Fathom and Indigo are by far my favorite ship in WOF.

2 Glory x Deathbringer

In my opinion, this is the best one. Also, these are the actual Wings of Fire couples: Clay x Peril, Tsunami x Riptide, Glory x Deathbringer, and Starflight x Sunny. That last one is because Starflight and Sunny actually like each other. Fatespeaker is just obsessed with Starflight, which isn't real romance.

Also, this art is fantastic! My judging for it: 10, 10, 10 (11, that is). In my opinion, Swordtail is a selfish brat. He clearly stated in "The Lost Continent" that (quote) "I care about Luna. That's it" (unquote). Not his mom, not Blue's other relatives - just Luna, who is also bad.

I mean, Cricket saves Blue's life, and in "The Flames of Hope," Luna says that it's unfair that Cricket escapes from the Breath of Evil but not Blue and Swordtail. Talk about ungrateful! But Glory and Deathbringer? No problem at all.

3 Peril x Clay

This is an awesome relationship. There is no one better for Peril than Clay. Peril is seen as a bad-tempered and scary dragon, but Clay is able to extinguish and bring peace to Peril and everyone around her.

Peril can't hurt Clay as much as a typical dragon, which is great for their relationship. These two dragons really compliment each other in the relationship. In general, a great relationship, though it could still use some work.

This is the best ship and you know it! Peril loves Clay, and you can tell. We later find out that Clay likes Peril too.

Clay cares so much for Peril, and it's adorable. When they first meet, you can tell they had a connection from the first night. Peril asked him for food, and I just think it's so sweet!

4 Blue x Cricket

This is the freaking sweetest ship in all of WOF. I'm surprised this isn't number one. It is kind of love at first sight, but I think it's love at first sight done right. At least it's super adorable and wholesome. Blue and Cricket are just so sweet, comforting, and adore each other.

Blue is a dragon that likes to follow the rules. Cricket is an intelligent dragon who is shy and finds it hard to fit in. These two really compliment each other in their relationship. Cricket gives Blue a bit of spice to his life while Blue gives Cricket comfort and support. Overall, a very great and healthy relationship.

5 Riptide x Tsunami

This is just classic. The princess whose lover isn't wealthy enough and her mother doesn't approve of him, sticking together to beat all odds in the end. I'm pretty sure Shakespeare wrote a play like that.

Tsunami and Riptide are so cute together! They both share some great qualities that can really keep this couple going. The only thing keeping them apart is Queen Coral and, let's face it, Tsunami is so headstrong. I don't really think her mom can stop her from being with Riptide.

In Winter Turning, Riptide was so excited to hear that Tsunami was thinking about him. I don't think he's ever going to hesitate on being with Tsunami. I already think the possible names of their kids are going to be so cute. Riptide and Tsunami have such adventurous personalities that there is no way their kids are not going to get stuck on another journey through Pyrrhia. I think this couple will make a really interesting family to go on an adventure with.

6 Sundew x Willow

This ship is absolute perfection! It's the only lesbian ship in the fandom that makes sense and Sundew actually likes Willow. I also love both characters. Both of them are awesome. Anyone who thinks this ship is bad should go suck a lemon!

This ship is the best ship in the fandom and it should be a lot higher! I think the only reason this ship is so low is because The Poison Jungle is one of the last books and some people might not have gotten that far so they don't vote for it. But Sundew x Willow is one of my favorite ships. Sunlow deserves a lot more respect. Also, some people probably hate this ship because some people are homophobic and that's stupid. Sundew can like Willow! 10/10 ship wise. - Laurel the LeafWing

7 Fatespeaker x Starflight

Okay, the Sunnyflight ship already crashed and burned. Also, at the end of book 6, Darkstalker gave Moon a vision in which you see Starflight's daughter, and she's full NightWing. So Starspeaker is destined to happen. It's pure and simple logic.

I ship this over Starflight/Sunny, as Fatespeaker clearly loves Starflight back, and Sunny isn't even sure she loves Starflight. I think it is super sweet how Fatespeaker took care of him while he was recovering in the rainforest.

Although I prefer Sunnyflight, Fatespeaker is also a great couple. It's clear that Fatespeaker really loves Starflight, and when Sunny explained to Starflight that Fatespeaker and he would make a great match, Starflight took her advice and ended up marrying Fatespeaker. They both created an egg, which was said to be Moonwatcher. Anyway, that's all from me. Peace!

8 Qibli x Moonwatcher

This ship should be number one. Qibli would follow Moon to the ends of the earth, and she would do the same for him. Qibli is super smart, just like Moon, and their personalities fit each other perfectly.

I especially loved all of their sweet little moments in The Flames of Hope because it gives us a glimpse of how deep their love really goes. Also, Winterwatcher makes me cry. Nothing against Winter. He's a great character in general, but he and Moon have too much history, and I think they're just better off as friends.

As for Qinter, I could see it, but I think Moonbli fits so much better. Qinter is the kind of thing that wouldn't last very long because they don't have the sort of deep personal relationship that Moon and Qibli have.

9 Kinkajou x Turtle

I HATE Turtle x Peril, no offense to everyone who ships it, but Turtle loves Kinkajou. Even if Kinkajou is still figuring out how she feels, that doesn't mean she won't choose Turtle. They're just so cute together.

This ship is way better than Peril x Turtle. It's cute how one of them is an animus, and one is not. This also means that Turtle has always had a crush on Kinkajou. Here are the reasons I prefer this ship over Peril x Turtle:

Kinkajou can actually touch Turtle without burning him to a crisp. Sure, Turtle accidentally made his scales harder than diamonds, but does Peril really love him? Or did he just join her adventure because he wanted to get out of Jade Mountain?

Seriously, people, Peril likes Clay and Turtle likes Kinkajou. I know some Turtle x Peril fans might close their computers after reading this comment, but please hear me out. Turtle is pretty much already mated with Kinkajou. And all Peril thinks about is Clay, so she can't love Turtle. According to the love spell, Turtle loves Kinkajou much more than he even knows Peril.

Turtle is an animus. I know, this sounds like evidence for the ship, but Peril probably hates animus dragons after meeting her father. He gave her an enchanted necklace so that she would forget about Clay and get rid of her firescales. And then, right after that, she started thinking about Clay again. There's no room in her mind for 'Oh, yeah, I actually love Turtle.'

This is a great ship, and I love it a lot! - Clarity the Animus NightWing

10 Anemone x Tamarin

This is the best vote: Anemone x Tamarin. Now I will explain why.

Anemone has just been controlled by an evil villain (Darkstalker) and she thinks she is going to destroy the world. She doesn't even trust her own talons.

Meanwhile, Tamarin may be blind, but she can still easily take care of herself and Kinkajou. She completely trusts her talons even though she can't see them.

They are just perfect for each other. I just love them.

Also, GO LESBIANS!

This is really cute. I feel like they are perfect because Tamarin has someone to help her with anything, and Anemone has someone to help calm her down when things get out of hand.

The Contenders
11 Blaze x Glacier

I don't even know why. I wasn't going to choose this mainly because of the very different species, but something felt right about it.

Blaze really loves Glacier, but Glacier just wanted to use her for land, so I ultimately felt bad for Blaze... so here we are.

Glacier is always there to help Blaze, but Blaze should make her own guards do this and not make Glacier her new bodyguard. Glacier already had a husband because I know she has a daughter named Crystal-Crystal-the-Best.

Okay, so a lot of people are saying that Glacier has a daughter. Yes, yes. But what if she had eggs with Blaze instead of an IceWing? Think about it. Snowfall is only seven years old. Glacier could have secretly had eggs with Blaze without Blaze knowing. Support this ship forever!

12 Sunny x Starflight

I know it isn't canon, but I feel like it should be. Starflight clearly liked Sunny and only changed his mind because Sunny said that she liked him as a brother more, and Fatespeaker was better for him. Though I feel like Sunny secretly liked him.

What people think about is the relationship, but what they should really think about are the dragonets. Who would be a kinder, more optimistic, caring, and sensible mother? Sunny! Fatespeaker thinks she can see the future when all of her predictions are incorrect. Sunny was actually loyal and kind. Fatespeaker treated him like a toddler.

This ship has its twists and turns, but these two have always loved each other and they are not going to let go. (By the way, I'm listening to the song Dandelions, and that's why I might sound so passionate.) Sunny x Starflight is the canon relationship between Sunny and Starflight. The ship also has a cool name: Sunnyflight.

Starflight has always loved Sunny, even if she's not sure about her feelings toward him. If you were paying attention while reading, you might have noticed that she has feelings for him too. - Clarity the Animus NightWing

13 Darkstalker x Fathom
14 Clearsight x Darkstalker

I loved this ship before Darkstalker became evil. Then again, it was kind of Clearsight's fault for not deciding to leave him when things started getting out of hand. Anyway, if Darkstalker had never become evil, this ship would probably be a lot higher. The ending is so sad, and I hate Clearsight for dumping him under a mountain (that part is fine, he was evil). But then she didn't honor him and ran off to date some random BeetleWing on the other side of the world.

I think this ship was beautiful at the beginning and then sloped downward after Fathom arrived.

When Indigo tried to kill Darkstalker, it made him snap (not that it was Indigo's fault) and become paranoid. Around that time, he made himself immortal and invulnerable. Also, I think that every main-ish character played a part in the downfall of this ship.

Darkstalker: He overused his Animus magic, which turned him insane and consumed his soul.

Clearsight: She saw time turning evil in the future and did nothing about it.

Fathom: It wasn't really his fault, but attempting to stop Darkstalker just made him want to use his magic more.

Indigo: Possibly made Darkstalker snap when she broke his enchanted goblet and tried to kill him in the first place.

I just feel so bad for both of them! Clearsight's last words to Darkstalker make me so sad every time!

15 Moonwatcher x Winter

So really, I have two things to say, but I'll put them in different paragraphs. So, anyway, I just want to be real with everyone. I was looking up Wings of Fire facts the other day, and I finally know the exact reason that Tui T. Sutherland made Moon choose Qibli. For the new people to Wings of Fire, Tui T. Sutherland is the author. Anyway, it was because Qibli and Cliff are based off of her two sons. So, of course, she had to have the character that is based after her own son get the second greatest girl in the whole book series. So, for those people who think it was because "Winter was SO mean and OMG Qibli is just awesome!" I say this with all my respect, but you're wrong, sorry.

Also, I was going to comment on this comment I saw. It said something about fantasizing about Winter and Moon getting together, and it reminded me of how most nights I fall asleep daydreaming about Moon and Winter getting together. I don't know why, but I just felt the need to share one of my favorite daydreams like that, but I'll paraphrase it to spare you the time. Anyway, it begins at that moment in "The Flames of Hope" when Moon reveals Cottonmouth to everyone else. And in this version, Pineapple takes a shot at Moon when they're on the beach, and Winter (chuckles) just yeets himself out of the tall grass, showing that he had been following them the whole time, and blocks a venom shot with his body and face plants into the ground. Anyway, he gets up, shakes it off as if there wasn't acid slowly eating away at his arm, pounces on Pineapple, and ties him up with some vines. After he's done, he looks up at the awestruck eyes looking at him and says, "What, were you expecting the almighty hand of God himself to reach down from the heavens and save her? What did you expect me to do! Don't judge!" Anyway, Moon pounces on him with excitement, and in the fumble, kissed him half on accident but half because she really wanted to. But to sum it all up, Winter sees Qibli watching them... more

16 Qibli x Winter

Aaaah! They are actually adorable together, and I love the enemies-to-lovers trope! Winter doubts himself and is pretty much traumatized by being exiled, taking it out on other dragons. Meanwhile, Qibli is playful, clever, silly, and cheerful, though he suffers from a scary past as well. They show affection for each other in many parts, and Qibli seems to actually like Winter, joking that they would be married, hoping that Winter gets Moon because he deserves it, and much more. If only Winter would return the love...

17 Snowfall x Lynx

At first, I didn't expect to ship them, with Snowfall commonly snapping at Lynx. However, once I realized that with Snowfall's grief and Lynx's playful attitude, Lynx could help Snowfall. All of the moments where Snowfall wakes up from a vision and Lynx immediately comforts her are adorable. I really think this should be canon! Winter doesn't really care about Lynx's feelings, so they can't be a ship. Snowfall pretty much hates Sky, so Lynx and Snowfall are meant for each other!

This ship is in my top 3. Enemies to lovers is a great dynamic. Lynx keeps Snowfall grounded, and Snowfall is that kind of exasperating presence that Lynx needs. It's AMAZING.

18 Anemone x Pike

I love them together! Yes, Pike is a little strong-headed and Anemone is not the best, but Pike is so darn protective! I really like them.

They are just awesome. Pike is willing to protect Anemone, and Anemone lets him protect her. Sometimes they're just so cute, even though Pike is kind of hot-headed.

Pike is always looking out for Anemone in ways that no one else does. He is always on guard and ensures that everyone respects her. Anemone deserves a guy like him.

19 Snowflake x Snowfox

Yes! I hate that a lot of people are missing out because it's tucked into a hard-to-get side book, but it's actually amazing! For those of you who don't know, Snowflake was the aristocratic IceWing in an arranged marriage with Arctic, and Snowfox was the IceWing princess who wanted to break up the arranged marriage for her own benefit.

They team up to help each other with whatever their goal was, and I loved it so much. While it is never explicitly said that they are more than friends, I don't really care if it isn't canon, I still love it.

20 Luna x Swordtail

Ooh, so cute. I like them because my crush's personality is also buried far below. You have to look for it to know it's there.

- Cougar the HiveWing

These two are probably rated number 3. They are adorable, and neither of them could live without each other.

- Nightshade the LeafWing/NightWing

Pure love! I'm just glad they didn't have to go through all the drama to realize they love each other. I love drama, don't get me wrong, but I just love how pure and simple Luna and Swordtail's love is. Swordtail would go across the ocean and back to find Luna, and Luna would do the same.

I cannot imagine Luna or Swordtail with anyone else - they are a perfect match, and I wouldn't pair these two with anyone else!

Butterfly the RainWing/IceWing (and princess to the RainWing throne!)

21 Burnet x Silverspot

I love this ship! It feels like they were made for each other. Honestly, Admiral just doesn't seem like a good pick at all.

They just like each other without any drama or a giant, cross-continent, world-saving endeavor. They go so well together.

Another lesbian couple! I love them both, and I wish we could see more of their relationship.

22 Darkstalker x Moonwatcher

My first thought was, "What will Winter think? The girl of his dreams is dating the bad guy of arc 2?" I like how Moon trusts him even without an enchantment.

I don't know why, but this could have been a traumatic turn of events. I mean, what would Winter think? The dragon of his dreams dating his worst nightmare?

I like this ship. Moonwatcher was one of the only ones that trusted Darkstalker, and I like that. She believes that he was or is good.

This is one of the best ships. For those who ship Clearsight x Listener or Darkstalker x Listener, you are so wrong. Clearsight and her are just friends, and Darkstalker barely knows her. Listener is an idiot.

Moon and Darkstalker - Darkwatcher or Moonstalker, I can't decide. They're both great names. This is one of the best ships ever! They really love each other, and that's what's important.

~Jewel the RainWing

23 Whiteout x Thoughtful

Whiteout and Thoughtful are a great ship! Listener just wasn't meant for Thoughtful, but Whiteout is amazing for him. It shows how they really care for each other when Whiteout wants to stay with Thoughtful in the palace, even when it's dangerous for her. Thoughtful was worried when Darkstalker put a spell on Arctic, and the NightWing was brave enough to cross the stage and ask if Whiteout was alright.

The part where Thoughtful understood Whiteout and spoke the same language as her was truly sweet. Overall, the ship is awesome, and I wish to see more of it.

24 Lynx x Winter

I like this ship, but Lynx is probably going to end up with Snowfall in the end (which is fine, I'm not against Lynx x Snowfall in any way). I just think that this ship would be a great ending for Winter because he has no mate and there are still some other dragons out there for him.

Although I do think that Tui might introduce another IceWing for Winter to be with, and Lynx will be with Snowfall. I love this ship, but sadly, it's never going to happen. Also, Winter is unkind to Moon, and their ship doesn't have a foundation. I'm not sure what the foundation for this ship is. Maybe it was saving her from a NightWing in the battle of Ice and Night?

Lynx is super happy to see him at the sanctuary. Plus, she was one of the dragons that helped him become "better." (I think he was character butchered, but that's my opinion.)

25 Smolder x Thorn

Smolder is my absolute favorite character. Maybe it's because we both have a strange sense of humor and like exotic pets, but I digress. Smolder and Thorn are an absolutely adorable couple, even if it is just light teasing for now.

I think Smolder would make an awesome king, and I believe Smolder and Thorn deserve each other. It's also difficult to deny the fact that they love each other. Consider this: Smolder literally locked her in a room with Sunny in Book 5 and was going to wait for his sister to come and kill them. Yet, she still managed to forgive him even when she became queen and had every right and all the power to kill him. That's true love right there.

Smolder has also had his fair share of horrible experiences - dead brothers, lost his partner, and been threatened by his sister. I think Thorn would be a good support system for him. This ship and Blicket are my favorite couples in Wings of Fire.
