Goodreads asked Cynthia Sharp:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Cynthia Sharp Currently, it's Damon and Elena because of the underlying power of forgiveness and devotion to each other and especially because of the value it places on trusting yourself, your intuition and the chemistry of connection that is beyond logic or reasoning or intellectual control, in a sense. They allowed themselves the ultimate attraction on every level of being and went with what they know to be the best, most passionate match for themselves. They got to live the dream of being with the right person and not holding back. They had the freedom to make the right choices for themselves in that regard. I love the freedom and safety Elena has in her life, a home that she is safe in (vampires and supernatural danger aside), enough money for tuition, a car to get safely to school and a community of friends that care about her. She gets to be a teen and young adult without the pressure of worrying about tuition or basic living expenses, so she is free to fall in love in her supernatural setting. I especially enjoy how The Vampire Diaries is scripted, edited, acted and filmed, so those are the fictional couples most on my mind.
