I often try to pin down exactly why I love this pairing so much and end up failing miserably. This essay, however, nails down each and every reason...Especially this one:
they could hurt one another just as effectively as they could help one another, and from that springs a delicious tension that never settles.
which is wonderful, since half of their draw is that they can be shippy without being shippy at all.
