Goodreads asked Jacob M. Appel:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Jacob M. Appel Does Jacob Appel & Sophia Loren count?

If not, I'd probably go with Varenka and Kozyshev in Anna Karenina -- they come so close to connecting, but a minor distraction drives them a part.

Nicholas Urfe and Alison Kelly in The Magus are also in the running. I rather do hope they stay together in the end....
