What are your favorite ships in Animorphs? Both canon and non-canon

Man, I think it'd be easier to list the things I don't ship. The within-team dynamics are so intricate and well-written that basically any combo can be made to work. I'm a big fan of the rarepair combo of Rachel/Cassie, Tobias/Marco, and Jake/Ax, but canon makes a strong case for Rachel/Tobias and Jake/Cassie. If we're including minor characters, I've enjoyed writing Rachel/Melissa, Ax/Menderash, Marco/Collette, and Melissa/Tom; I keep meaning to write Marco/Tom, Melissa/Tobias, and James/Jake. Even Tobias/Taylor could make a great horror story if someone felt like writing it.

If we loop in the older generation, then my favorite rarepair is Loren/Chapman. But I've also written Naomi/Loren, Eva/Loren, Eva/Peter, Elfangor/Loren, and Alloran/Jahar; I'm always meaning to write Peter/Elfangor, Elfangor/Arbron, and Michelle/Loren/Walter.

I guess the only things I don't ship are incest (off-putting) and ships that include controllers (consent issues). But like, even then I could probably be convinced by dark crack fic about Visser Three and Visser One hatebanging.
