“What if?” can be a dangerous question, especially when it comes to fanfiction.
Fanfic is a type of story in which aficionados of a fictional world write alternate endings and storylines. People who loved the Harry Potter series or Doctor Who, for example, take to the Internet to pen their own versions of what should happen -- but sometimes, they go a bit too far.

In the fanfic world, the term “shipping” applies to relationships between characters that fans would like to see happen. For example, some Harry Potter fans might prefer a storyline in which Hermione ends up with Harry instead of Ron. If they're feeling daring, some writers will ship characters who don't even belong in the same universe, such as Khan from Star Trek and Loki from Thor.
We plumbed the darkest corners of fanfic and picked eight of the most uncomfortably shipped relationships. Instead of "What if?" you'll find yourself asking a different question: Why, Internet?
