Ten "Bob's Burgers" Rare Pairs I haven't written about (but might some day)

Finding out that @bobsrarepairweek is coming back later this summer made me think about some of my favorite "Bob's Burgers" rare pairs and particularly ones I haven't written for but kind of want to. Some of these are background canon ships that folks don't really write about, some of them are ships with small fandom followings, at least one is a nightmare of my own creation, but they all amuse me and I'd like to see more (or any) fics about them, so I might need to do it myself. The list is in no particular order:

Edith Cranwinkle/Harold Cranwinkle: "Bob's Burgers" fandom oughta be ashamed that AO3 isn't full of filthy, filthy smut about these two!!! Okay, maybe that is an extreme statement, but they are a very funny canon couple and, given their ages and how relatively little we know about them and their relationship, it seems like there are a lot of story possibilities out there for them that we will never see on the show.

Genecadero (Gene/Peter Pescadero): One of my favorite bloggers, @dianadeadwing, was big on this ship and coined the name and I am on board with this. I honestly think Peter Pescadero is one of the most underrated characters on the show- he's never really given a central role but whenever he's in an episode he's almost guaranteed to be doing something funny/weird/interesting. And he does seem to be one of Gene's closest non-sibling friends (after only Alex and Courtney). Heck, in the most recent episode Gene describes their relationship as "classmates with benefits" ("I don't know if I'm using that phrase correctly".)

Trickey (Trev/Mickey): Yeah, I don't think they've ever intereacted in canon, but as soon as this idea was put in my head (by @theangrypomeranian) I just can't help but love the idea of these two dumb, sweet, dumb, weird guys getting together. I just think it would be very funny. There was a like a week or two where I was obsessed with these two and made several posts about them and came up with several fic ideas which I never wrote. Maybe I need to revist those.

Roger Flanley/Judy: Do I need to say more? (I'm being told "yes" starting with "Who the hell are you talking about?") The IRS Agent and the touchtank aquarium owner from "Aquaticism". Honestly, I think that is one of the sweetest stories of the whole show. I just love seeing sweet but awkward middle aged people making a connection. (Surely this has nothing to do with me being a single awkward middle aged person...) Also, Roger is voiced by Ken Marino who is an Actor That Makes Everything Better in my book.

Rudlee (Rudy/Kaylee): My second favorite ship for both of them! It's cute and nerdy and sweet and I love them both...but, Roudise (and to much lesser extent Arnlee) is so close to my heart that I doubt I will ever do anything with them. Fortunately, Babs did.

Aunt Gayle/Sylvester Stiebltiz: This is the "nightmare of my own creation". They are not an OTP. But I think it's almost certain that they would go out on a couple of hilariously bad dates at some point. They are both desparately, pathetically single and they are bound to encounter each other at some point, but their quirks really wouldn't complement each other all. Like, they are both messes in very different ways. It won't succeed, but I feel like it will happen.

Jen the Babysitter/Christopher the Notary: I adore Jen, and I thought it was sweet when they gave her an awkward little romance in "Ferry on My Wayward Bob and Linda". I mean, who doesn't love a good notary/notaroo to lovers story?

Gene Jacket! (Gene/Tammy): So, I started out shipping this as a joke just because I want more non-portmanteau ship names and that scene from "Adventures in Chinchilla Sitting" gives a us a great one for them. But I have sort of started thinking about it more seriously. Like, I imagine that if they are older and Gene starts actually getting popular as a local musician, Tammy would be drawn to him (because shallow), and he would kind of be dismissive of her because that is his way of interacting with her ("we get it, you have email!") and that would just make her more interested and then...stuff happens and they get together? Well, obviously there's a reason the story hasn't actually been written. But I do find it kind of weird that there is more shipping of Tammy with any of the Belcher kids. They all have such fun dynamics with her! Like, they all insult her but in their own unique ways. So, I'll round out the list with:

Tammy/Tina

Tammy/Louise

Prompt Game: rudlee - game

“Solana uses the dash action to go through the open window and outside of the range of the stinking cloud, then bonus action healing words herself for a total of… three HP, taking her up to four,” Kaylee said, detailing her half elf cleric’s escape from a Mages and Monsters she couldn’t win.

“Riiight that’s pretty good,” Rudy, the world’s most ruthless DM, drawled then quirked his lip the way he did right before he ended a player’s life. “You ARE on the third floor though, so can you go ahead and roll three D6 of fall damage for me?”

Kaylee’s eyes widened, and she frantically flipped through the pages in front of her, checking her inventory for any feat or magic item that might save her.

Finding no such boon, she let her papers scatter to the floor and put her head in her hands, grumbling, “I want to go back to putting mentos in diet coke.”

For the rarepair requests, Rudy and Kaylee?

These two would be perfect together! They already have so much in common: nerdy, quiet, shy, Louise. They also both desire, for different reasons, to be more bold and mischievous. I can absolutely see Kaylee and Rudy being one of those solid, sweet couples that go to conventions together and fall asleep at 8PM.

[ltwharfy]

Literally the only Bob's Burgers couple I've thought about writing a fic for besides Louise/Rudy is a pairing of a minor recurring character and a character that only appeared once: Jen the babysitter and Christopher the notary from "Ferry on My Wayward Bob and Linda"! I've always loved Jen as a character and thought it was so sweet that they gave her a love interest.

Somehow even more obscure, I also love the relationship between Judy and Roger in "Aquaticism". I think Jen/Christopher and Judy/Roger both resonate with me because, as an awkward single adult, I appreciate stories about awkward adults awkwardly making connections.

Some more rarepair thoughts:

I like Henry and Susmita a lot and should check out the limited number of stories and art about them.

Although I am a huge Louise/Rudy fan, I can appreciate the Rudy/Kaylee ship and the one story on AO3 about it is cute as heck!

so what's y'all's favorite Bob’s Burgers rarepair? the ship you love that had little to no fanfic/fanart but you still love it? reblog or comment below, I'm nosy lmao 👀 mine will be in the tags

[What's worse, the butter tickled SO MUCH. Like HOLY CRAP. So she just squirmed and kept laughing. Actually, she kept shoving him away and he kept resisting her shoves.]

"UHM. He-helloo?"

[Connie appeared to be dangling from the ceiling, a red rope around her tail, having no choice but to keep her arms up as having her arms down would be a tad bit uncomfortable for the ghost toon.]

"Whoever did this, I swear..."

[She had no idea how she got here, but here she was now.]

@connietheghostieeee

*Just then, Looey pass by her playfully, practising his tricks for his next act by juggling some (fake) knives on a tricycle* "Oooh, hah, no biggie for the Great Looey!"

I'm sorry for so many ideas but I'm trying to not wallow. It's up to you to do any at all! <3

Woooo my gosh this is amazing! I put each idea into a layer, and there are 34 prompts here!!!

I genuinely appreciate this. I will now have lots of ideas for if I’m stuck on what to draw for a while (or if I get in the zone I may just see how many I can do today 😅)

I’ll tag you when I post them :)

[ltwharfy]

What's your favorite obscure ship for Bob’s?

I love rare pairs!

I think my current favorite has to be Arnold/Kaylee! I've written a fic for them, commissioned art for them, and I just love the idea of these nerdy outsiders finding each other!

Some others: Trev/Mickey- when you mentioned this idea to me when I was doing that rare pair game it just made perfect sense! I still need to read your fic about it- work's been nuts for me recently.

Gene/Peter- @dianadeadwing did some art for them recently and her comments on it really made me think this makes a lot of sense!

Rudy/Kaylee- my second favorite ship for both of them- another pair of cute nerds!

Aged-up Chloe/Logan- This kind of started as a joke (I like Chlogan as a ship name and it's funny to imagine Louise's nemeses getting together) but now I kinda of want to do something with it sometime.

I could probably think of more but I am at work...

[razzberrycorner]

me wth my ....

my rudlee

YOU!! YES, YOU!! GO WRITE THAT FANFIC YOU THINK NOBODY BUT YOU WILL READ!!

[babsvibes]

How about Rudlee for the shipping bingo? Thanks!

Have you thought about how any conversation between us is like a Rudlee convention but ours are the only two names on the guest list? Because I have

[sailoreuterpe]

Kaylee Morganstern + Birthday for the request

(Here's one for Kaylee as a character alone or for kaylouise if you're inclined.)

Kaylee pulls another string of silly putty off of her head with a frown.

Louise grins sheepishly. "At least it makes your eyes pop?"

Kayle struggles to maintain her composure. It's actually been an amazing party overall.

The various goops aren't that bad.

(Here's one for for rudlee for @babsvibes.)

Kaylee snuggles up to Rudy as he twirls a long string in front of her birthday present.

The kitten wasn't a big fan of the party, though she did enjoy the guests' attention.

Inhaleria bats at the string as Kaylee smiles sleepily.

Kaylee honestly wasn't such a big fan of the party, either, though she was grateful to Louise for planning it.

The quiet finale, though, was just about perfect.

(Here's one for jesslee for @burgerspeople.)

"When will you old lady let me dye your hair?" Jess asks, playing with Kaylee's ponytail after birthday dinner.

"When you finally get glasses," Kaylee retorts even as she leans back into her girlfriend's touch.

Jess laughs and leans down to kiss Kaylee's forehead. "Not until I can't drive--so give me a week."
