5. Willow and Tara, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)

Willow: Can she go home now?

Doctor: Unfortunately, no. Hospital policy dictates we keep her for the night.

Willow: But does she have to? I-I can take care of her at home.

Doctor: She your sister?

Willow: She's my everything.

- “Tough Love”

Easily the most stable and sustainable relationship shown in the entire series (although, yes, there were rocky patches), Willow and Tara were deeply devoted. Interesting fact: clocking in at two and a half seasons, this is the longest-running lesbian relationship ever on network television.

Willow and Tara meet when they are both isolated and shy. Willow has always been nerdy and awkward, and has shown a history of sexual insecurity. Before Tara, she’s only had one serious relationship, with a boy in high school. Tara has already acknowledged her sexuality to herself, but she is deeply alienated from her constricting and hostile family, and taught that she was sub-human and unreliable.

When these two come together, though, they both blossom beautifully. Tara is almost immediately enamored of Willow, whose journey into the relationship is a little more hesitant and shy. Once they finally become a couple, it is one of the most passionate and epic romances in a show that contains, let’s face it, a number of passionate and epic romances.

I’m going to use the placement of this particular couple to transition to the next couple, who are in a different category.
