Is there a fic for a ship you don't like that you actually enjoy?

Fun & Games

I have a friend who ships a couple that I don't like (buddie), while I ship a couple that she also doesn't like (bucktommy). We've decided to do a fun game, in which we trade our favorite fics and give each other's ship a chance.

I confess I quite enjoyed the longfic she sent, while she said she really liked the oneshot I shared.

I wonder, do you guys have any fic for a ship you actively dislike that you admit, even if secretly, that you've bookmarked?

Please keep it within the rules of the subreddit, without sharing the fic in question, but you can talk about it as long as you don't share any identifiable information about the author.
