Couples Countdown Nr.13A

Blair & Chuck
(Gossip Girl)

Current status: Together (I think)
The Beginning: After Nate and Blair broke up, she went to Chuck's nightclub where she went on stage and stripped. On the way home, she and Chuck slept with each other in his limo.
Course of the Relationship: Chuck develops feelings for Blair and they sleep with each other for some time, but then try to hide it from Nate whom Blair still loves. They spent some time apart, but at the Bass wedding they reconnect when Chuck confesses to Nate that he loved Blair. They plan to go to Europe together, but Chuck stands her up because he's afraid his life will change. When they meet again after the summer, Blair has brought home a Duke, making Chuck jealous. He fails to tell her he loves her and Blair gets serious with the Duke. When the relationship fails and Vanessa has pictures of the reason it failed, Blair tries to get Chuck to seduce Vanessa. Eventually, Chuck tells Blair he's done chasing her and so, Blair tries to seduce him but he tells her, it's not their time. When Chuck's father dies, Blair tries to be there for him, but he leaves her because he thinks he's not good enough for her. After some time, Chuck realizes that he still loves Blair, but she has gone back to Nate. They compete for her attraction, but Chuck seems to give up although he tells Serena he loves Blair.
The End & Future: Nate and Blair break up and she wants Chuck to say the three little words. Gossip Girl tells the truth about everyone, including Chuck's night with Vanessa and Blair's night with Chuck's uncle. Chuck flees, but returns and finally tells Blair he loves her.

When I fell in love with them: Season 1, episode 7&8: I immediately fell in love with them when they first slept with each other. He was asking her if she was sure and then said he kinda liked her on her birthday.
Why I like them: They're perfect for each other. She know him better than anyone else and - what's even more important - and can accept who he is. They're both kinda mean and he has many flaws, but he loves her very much. He even loves her enough to let her go. Eventually, they can't keep away from each other although Blair likes other guys (Nate, Markus) and Chuck tries to find his happiness with different women every night.
Best Moment: It's a tie between his "I love you" in the season 2 finale and their dance at the Bass wedding (before he bails on her of course)
Saddest Moment: As most of their moments are sad (and passionate), I really can't decide. But if I had to, it would be Blair's I love you after Chuck's father died and his "That's too bad". I also almost cried when he sat on her bed later and she just hugged him.

Why Nr. 13A? Passionate, desperate, impossible. It's an almost perfect ship.
Miscellaneous: Reminds me of Phoebe and Cole of Charmed or Carrie and Big from Sex and the Ciry, but even more passionate.
