The '''One True Pairing''' (usually abbreviated as OTP, not to be confused with any of the other [[OTP]]s or [[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|OOTP or OotP]]) is the couple that a fan or group of fans prefers over all other '[[Shipping|ships]]. [[Canon]] and logic do not necessarily apply, and [[Crossover]] One True Pairings are not uncommon.
 
The degrees to which this is taken varies wildly. It can mean anything from "I just like [[Kim Possible|Drakken/Shego]] best" to "I won't read [[Fanfic]] that pairs [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Anya and Xander]] with anyone but each other" to "[[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud always and still loves Aerith]] and they made love to each other in the flower field at the end of the movie", to the extreme "All the canon evidence that [[Harry Potter|Harry and Hermione]] are not going to get together is a lie spread by the Ron/Hermione 'shippers, who must be [[Die for Our Ship|stopped]] before their evil [[The End of the World as We Know It|destroys the universe]]".<ref>All examples chosen at random, but the last group really are that scary sometimes. Then it turned out that one of the Ron/Hermione shippers was [[Official Couple|the author]]. And [[Shipper on Deck|Harry himself]]. And [[Everyone Can See It|just about half the rest of the cast]]. [[Shipping Wars|Hilarity ensued]].</ref>
