If your story was out/published what characters would you not want shipped together, but are afraid they would?

(Sorry if the term "ship" Isn't used anymore, I may be behind the times…)

I wouldn't want Chester and Lincoln to be paired together.
Lincoln is a cunning manipulative school boy with psychopathic tendencies, he pretended to be an awkward but smart preppy kid around Chester. He tried to gain Chester's trust, he wanted status, Chester had that status.
Chester is an angsty, depressed kid, with a bit of anxiety sprinkled in, not to mention his repulsion toward certain parts of his own body, his asexuality, and he's in no place to be in a romantic relationship. he wanted nothing to do with Lincoln at the beginning, he slowly learned to open up. not realizing Lincoln was only using his trust to get in with the place Chester's from.
They are strictly friends.
(I don't hate gay relationships, sorry if it sounds like I do.. It's just that these two aren't in any place for a romantic relationship of any sort.)

jo and catori. they sort of act like a couple but they're literally just friends. while, to be fair, the entire group would date literally anyone else in the group, jo and catori will never have a romantic interest towards each other. partially because jo is in love with a different member

cisco and kas. again, just a good wholesome friendship, though they did try dating briefly in freshman year

catori and everette is complicated because while they have a very good thing at the beginning they arent endgame and wont ever be

Abe and Ozzy. They're best friends who dated for about a month as stupid kids, realized they weren't into each other like that, and only became better friends. They're just a healthy, affectionate male friendship and it sucks to see that people don't think those can be anything other than romantic.

Also Cherry with anybody, because a large part of Cherry's character is her realizing that she doesn't need to be in a relationship to be a whole person.

Oof Jaeke and Jericho for a similar reason to @GoblinKing's Abe and Ozzy (tho I have considered shipping Jaeke and Jericho before, since they have better chemistry than Jericho does with his real love interest lmao) but they're supposed to just be best friends, but it kiiiiiinda come across as more than that

And then Mindee and Doran. They're 13, Doran has amnesia, and Min might be aroace, not sure yet

kalani and ella.
kalani is a lesbian. ella just likes people. they're really close.

Oh god, I feel like some of the psycho shippers would have some Clara x Nico fics, which causes me physical pain. I just… he's abusive. And since it's not physical, you already KNOW someone will be like "oh he's just damaged! she can help him be a better man!" like NO, she CAN'T, he's BAD. My girl deserves much better.

Peter x Monty. Were they a wonderful couple? Sure, I guess, but they brought out the worst in each other. It's a no from me, folks. They broke up for a REASON.

Natalie x Thalia. So like… they're canon? They're dating in the book? But they're SO BAD FOR EACH OTHER. That's kind of the point, given where Thalia appears in Natalie's arc, but it hurts me to know that some readers might misunderstand their whole 'hot-and-heavy' thing and call it love. It's NOT.

Natalie x Julianna… maybe. Julianna's grey-romantic asexual, and her and Natalie never get together romantically. They're great friends with BIG QPR vibes, so a part of me would cry to imagine them romantically involved, but at the same time… guys, the connection between those two is so deep. I have NO CLUE how to define their relationship–maybe I'm afraid of the shippers defining it for me.

I wouldn't want my character, Nick to be shipped with anyone. He's been through a lot and needs time before he'd be ready for a romantic relationship. Also, he might be aroace but im not sure yet.

Dusty and Echo. Don't do it. Please don't do it. My story is FAR from finished…But they are the two surviving robots of the robot extermination. Soooo…If my book does gather a fanbase….It will happen. (I don't really care about that stuff though, as long as it doesn't effect my story, or the way people read it. Let people be fans!)

Flower Boy and anyone
F.B is just an innocent flower. He's too pure and holy for sinful acts.

Zio x Lisia
A big no no

Lisia is a mean lady

And Zio is as gay as a circle

Chenelle x Ivan= no
There are a lot of reasons why not. For one Chenelle is a phycopath. Enough said right? Secondly she's the princess and Ivan is her bodyguard, he had a crush on her, but it was more of an infatuation, he felt like he should like her because she was the princess. She doesn't intentionally manipulate him but she doesn't respect him or consider him worth her time. Its not revealed that she is a princess and he is her bodyguard until later in the story, some people might take him saving her and doing what she says as love, the other characters do. Chenelle is incapable of having a healthy relationship because to her its all about control, she fells that if shes not in control shes being controlled. Ivan has really bad anxiety and very little self worth, he needs someone kind and thoughtful who appreciates him and wants to help him. Chenelle can't do that, she doesn't know how. Eventually Ivan ends up with Sapphire, who was Chenelle's servant/companion and who was hurt by Chenelle as well.

Fern x anyone
she's asocial, aromantic, and asexual, she can''t deal with affection, to her a hug is like being attacked, she's to used to being constantly in danger. Once someone tried to kiss her. She wasn't expecting it and accidentally stabbed him. "Oops, sorry, its just reflexes!"

Scale and anyone, she's 14 and everyone else in the story is 19 or older so that's just a no. All fondness and love is because the other characters act like her parents and siblings, She's literally their baby.
I don't want any of the main trio to be shipped with one another,but they are the main trio so it's bound to happen Azizia, Lilith, and Zen. Azizia is in a very beautiful wonderful amazing relationship, she is engaged. While Azizia an Zen have a very sweet friendship it wouldn't translate well to Romantic. Lilith and Azizia are Foil characters so while the entire universe likes to ship the foil characters, it should not be done here, any romantic relationship would be quite unhealthy I think, they just don't suit each other romantically. Zen and Lillith would be a classic example of cinnamon roll + Quiet intimidating Character, So it is bound to happen. However, Zen is not the right kind of Cinnamon roll And Lilith is… Lilith.

Harli and Eddith, they were just friends. they supported each other, yes, but not romantically. A wholesome boy girl friendship. I'm just afraid people will see how Harli has no love interest, they were close when Eddith was alive, it would be easy to just make some assumptions and make them a couple. but they were amazing friends, making them romantically involved would ruin the bond they had.

Doc and Notorious;

Just because their colors and mannerisms reflect that of a certain french animated series does not mean it is that certain french animated series

Anyone! (With the exception of Michael and Felix.)

My story has characters who only view each other as friends (despite Felix who has feelings for Michael, but Michael doesnt return them). Some have large age gaps that just don't work. Others have possessive and obsessive issues. A lot just have so many problems that love isnt even fathomable to them. Some aren't looking for love. Some literally hate each other to the point of attempted murder. I know it's a bit boring without shipping characters, but with this specific story, characters just shouldn't be shipped. Yes, there are emotional heart-to-heart moments where people will take it that the characters like each other. Nope. They are just being nice. My characters are not the romantic types. I literally do not ship any of my characters with each other. None of them would make a good pair.
(But they do have some great friendships)

if ANYONE ships Itha and Osric, I will SHOOT THEM ALL. They genuinely hate each other, and it's not a cute kind of hate. There it nothing remotely positive about their relationship.
Also, Anthony and Ram. I get it, they're the bros, but Ram is in a relationship and that deserves to be respected. He 10/10 would have dated anothony, but he doesn't have even one regret about his choice in Itha.
