Give me one character and I will tell you: 1. OTP/favorite pairing for them. 2. Runner-up pairing. 3. Honourable mention(s). 4. Crack pairing(s). 5. Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't.
I have never been averse to Mal/Simon, and Mal calls Simon "son" whereas he only calls Kaylee "mei-mei," so in his mind he's in the same generation as WRT Kaylee! I like M/K a lot, because not only do they have a lot of respect and affection for each other, they have common interests and viewpoints.
Also, the reason that incest has such a bad reputation is a) the number of instances in which it is abusive b) biological risks of close relatives having children c) skeeviness of people brought up together becoming sex partners after thinking of themselves as siblings. Mal and Kaylee aren't related at all, weren't brought up together, and I suppose it's possible that Mal could subject someone to sexual harassment, but Kaylee seems to be pretty good at making up her own mind about what she wants sexually. Also, although he's somewhat older than she is, I estimate that at the beginning of the series she's about 20 and he's about 32, which is not a vast age difference.
