Alright, some Mihawk thoughts: (Mishanks)
I'm still thinking about "...sorry red-hair." at Marineford. He knows how much Luffy means to Shanks so he apologizes before fighting him. Even though Shanks isn't there. Even though Shanks can't hear it or possibly know what he's going to do he apologizes anyway to the Shanks in his head that's giving him a disappointed look.
I have this shortlist in my brain of canon Mihawk things and the one time he shows up to a Warlord meeting in who knows how long because he wants to "listen in" on the "interesting pirate they're discussing" as an "impartial bystander." Hawkeyes, you literally busted in shirt open sword hanging heels clicking as soon as they said Shanks's name, don't act like no one knows why you're really here.
And, of course, "the boy from your stories." God, that gets me. It's just such a great way to establish that Shanks and Hawk aren't just rivals, they really are *friends.* Shanks tells Mihawk about the things he likes and the places he visits and the people he meets, and Mihawk *listens.* Not only that, but he sails from the bloody East Blue to some random island on the Grand Line just to deliver Shanks some good news himself.
Like, listen. I like shipping character just for the fun of it. It's a grand time. But, man. Sometimes I don't really have a choice when they're Like This. And everyone knows Shanks wears his heart on his sleeve (since his arm isn't using it, haha) but Mihawk truly isn't as subtle as he thinks he is.

If you have this dynamic, you're my favourite fictional character ship. There are requirements:
You have to have a dramatic breakup. (Necessary)
You have to sword fight (swords optional but preferred)
You have to be queer (listen, there's just something about the homoeroticism of sword fighting and rivalry)
You have to make me think you could be happy together if you'd JUST TELL EACH OTHER--
I am a simple man.
