Hunger Games is an interesting one for me, ship-wise, because Katniss basically goes from "I don't want to date anyone, don't want to have kids, no interest in any of that junk" to "I have been through enough shit that I will just cling to Peeta since he's the only other one crazy enough not to judge my current mental state".
I . . . I don't actually have any ships for it, but I can see where the various attractions came from. Like, Peeta, I've been sympathetic to the guy ever since I read an analysis that pointed out how his dad told him on the first day of school that he nearly hooked up with Katniss' mother, because that's kinda a fucked up thing to tell your kid. So while Katniss was imagining Peeta to grow up in a wonderful home where you could eat fresh bread every day, Peeta was imagining she grew up in a wonderful home with parents who actually loved each other.
