Fictional Fans

It kind of makes me think about what a rare pair actually is. For example, within MCU, Loki/Tony is definitely a rare pair. But given all the content that continues to come out for it, it doesn't seem a lot more rare than some leading pairs in other fandoms. (A small fandom with a rare pair must be a special form of agony). In Merlin fandom, for example, virtually all pairings besides Merlin/Arthur are rare. One of the most mentioned is Gwen/Lancelot yet while they're IN many many stories, there are very few about them.
