I don't like the relationship in canon but the fanon/what it could be is great
This option is interesting to me because while I have experienced this before (mostly “a fic that I read for reasons not relating to the ship wrote that ship really well” and now that I think about it a bit more most of those fics were Kirk/Spock/McCoy I think?), more recently I’ve experienced the opposite: I’ve seen a bunch of people say that they like the fanon version of Doctor/Yaz from Doctor Who more than the canon version, whereas I personally like the canon version more than the fanon version
