The characters I'm writing were only ever in one ep together, but they nearly died together and it spawned them as a fanon ship that is always mentioned as a secondary or tertiary thing in other fics about the main characters. My old stuff is at damagereport; I don't think there's anything truly awful there (and it's mainly SGA and FOB stuff, but I do plan to update it with the X2 stuff at least).
The one I'm writing at the moment you could probably follow, because it's designed to be almost original fiction it's set far into the mountains of Idaho, and is essentially post-Stargate. The characters have virtually no canon backstory, so everything in it, except broad references to things that happen when living in another galaxy, is new.
I tend to go for obscure pairings when I write fic. In Bandom, most people shipped Patrick with Pete, because Pete went to great lengths to prompt the slashers; but paired him with Joe, instead. In HP I was more of a Sirius/Remus shipper and although I ship Harry/Draco a lot, when I was writing the epic fic I never completed, I made it damn hard on them and ended up pairing both with other characters. In Draco's case, with George Weasley (sounds impossible, but it made a lot more sense in context).
For LotR, I was very much a Merry/Pippin shipper - I was all for Sam/Frodo, but less interested in it.
More recently, in the Sherlock fandom, I completely ship Mycroft/Lestrade, and they haven't even met on screen!
