Really? I'm surprised that that ship is that rare. It always struck me as one of the more plausible ones.

It does. None of the four possible combinations of Pettigrew, Black and Lupin seems remotely unlikely. The fact that in the Sirrius-Pettigrew case one of them killed the other doesn't particularly reduce the plausibility either (in the real world or in fiction!)

one of them killed the other

I assume you mean in MoR rather than canon?

No. Reconstructing from what I wrote way back then I seem to be referring to the fact that it is not unusual for lovers of any kind to kill each other.

"If we judge love by the majority of its results, it resembles hatred more than friendship."
