A/N: Because it had to be written. It's also on my fictionpress with the same name.
The Worst Thing to Ever Happen
You know when you're one of those people. When you're stuck in a fandom that you can't get out from even if you wanted to. Your thoughts are comparing things from that fandom to things in your life, no matter how trivial and weird. But out every horrible kind of person you could be, the best and the worst is to be one of those people.
The Shippers.
They're the ones who ship all the characters together. They're the ones you go to to see who's in love with who, who's friends with who, or which two characters hate each other's guts. If you are one of them, then you understand. You may finally see your OTP become canon. You may finally reap the fruits of your labor.
However, there is one thing that every shipper dreads. It is the bane of their existence. It eats away at them. It's when it seems that the apple tree finally bore fruit after a whole year of care. Then, when you pick an apple from it, you realize that the apple is full of worms, and so are all the rest of them.
It's when your OTP ship is sunk.
It's when in canon the author pulls a fast one on you and crushes that ship's chance to sail before it even left the dock. It's when you know you will never get to see the beauty of your sailing ship. Even worse, it's when in fanfictions the ship becomes a crack ship. That's when you truly realize that the ship never stood a chance even if it did sail.
