This is a unique match when compared to most of the others on this site. Kat Manx and Doggie Cruger enjoy the kind of deep friendship and mutual trust that can only result from decades of work side by side. This bond gives Kat a different perspective on the commander, allowing her to challenge him to conquer his demons despite his stubborn attempts to ignore the pain of his past. And similarly, Doggie's respect for Kat is more than evident, and goes beyond her technical skill as he admires her courage, strength and tenacity. But... could there ever be love between this pair? Given that Doggie's heart is indisputably reserved for his wife Isinia, and since the long-missing Isinia returned in the end of the series, it's safe to say that any "fraternization" between Doggie and Kat will exist only in fanfiction.
