For me as well. I didn't start shipping LP till the S3 school shooting ep, to be exact. But ever since, I've been kinda ashamed/erabarrassed to admit it, primarily given the whole cheating thing. They're a rarity for me in that case, 'cause I'm just not down with that. But I've since become SO friggin' obsessed with these two, it's not even funny! I have tried so hard not to ship them, in fact...but I've lost. They just came out of nowhere for me and rocked my world. They even surpassed my Dawson/Joey love, and I never expected that to happen. It got to the point where I only watched for them, and now I don't even watch the show [as a whole] anymore; I just YT their moments, given how it's been going - 'cause they're all I care about when it comes to OTH. [This coming from an initial Brooke fan, I still am, but I've never been a Lucas/Brooke shipper.] And all I have to say is, Mark BETTER be giving them their long-awaited HAPPY ending!
