what are some cliche/non-cliche couples?

Non cliche: Anita Blake - Necromancer (Detective; Vamp Executioner; Human Servant to the Master Vampire of the City of St. Louis; Nimra; Lupa) - I think that covers all her titles - coupled with - Vampire (Jean Claude); Were Wolf (Richard); Were Leopard (Micah, Nathanial -her animal to call); and a human servant of her own. All at once - AWESOME.

Witch - Griffin

Succubus - Nephilim (I've read two books like this and talk about a power struggle)

Fallen Angel - Demon

Demon - Demon (even the bad guys need love too)

Dragon - Witch (granted she was thrown out of her coven but hey...)

A cliché couple that has been used a fair amount is a vampire-human couple. Also, there's the pairing of a geek and a cheerleader/jock. Both are cliché, but both are pairings I like :)

Cliche:

Vampire/Human

Werewolf/Human

Shifter/Human

Boy/Girl/Girl

Girl/Boy/Boy

Non-cliche:

Zombie/Human (that'd be a bit weird though.)

Necromancer/Human

Orc/Human

You know... all the sentinal fantasy creatures you never really hear of in books.
