Sep 3, 2024 · The theater troupe in HBO’s Station Eleven. The Intentional Flock. This kind of friendship forms around a project or common cause. Typically that cause is artistic or political. The gang of eco-warriors at the heart of Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood come to mind. Or Dana Spiotta’s New Left cell in Eat the Document.
- Kay, Mary, Dottie, Elinor, Libby, Helena, Priss and Polly in The Group by Mary McCarthy. Before Sex and the City and Girls, there was The Group. In fact, Candace Bushnell actually wrote Sex and the City after her editor suggested she write a “modern-day version of The Group.”
- Sheila and Margaux in How Should a Person Be? by Sheila Heti. After divorcing her husband, Sheila, a 20-something playwright, is introduced to Margaux, a talented painter who instantly inspires her.
- Horatio and Hamlet in Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Good friends stay by you through good times, but best friends stay by you through bad times, and, you know, Hamlet was not really having an awesome time.

- Frodo and Sam. Oh, COME ON. Frodo and Sam are so clearly in love with each other. The whole series is a romance between these two brave little hobbits. And we're supposed to believe that Sam goes and marries someone else when he gets back to the Shire?
- Seamus and Dean. Honestly, Harry is so obtuse that Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas could have easily been dating for years without him really noticing. And even if they weren't canonically dating, their friendship always felt like it had the potential to teeter into romance at any moment.
- Jo and Laurie. OK, so Little Women is pretty explicit about setting Jo and Laurie up as a perfect couple, before suddenly swerving and marrying Jo off to some old professor guy.
- Jaime and Brienne. This one could technically still happen, if Winds of Winter comes out sometime in the next century. But even if Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth never actually hook up, their friendship has some serious sexual tension to it.

Oct 1, 2020 · Anne and Diana (Anne of Green Gables): This is one of my favourite female friendships. Anne reminds us that the two are kindred spirits, bosom friends. I know a few people who read this when they were younger and say they wanted a friendship like Anne and Diana’s, and I can see why. They’re the definition of opposites attract; everything ...
