Actually, I don´t care much about SGA (dunno why, just never hit my buttons right, I guess ^^;;) but I know what you mean. I´ve always enjoyed reading Spike/Xander from the Buffy-verse, although I never liked Xander much. However, I love Spike. Now, there´s Spander fic that makes me like Xander (because he isn´t as annoying as in canon)and then there´s fic that makes me HATE him. I think that depends on which character the fic focuses on, which character the author obviously likes more.
Like with your Clex-stuff.^^ Never cared much for Clark, but I absolutely adore that pairing because a Clark with Lex is just much more likeable than a Clark with Lana.
What´s funny though is, that there are actually stories, let´s say about Lex/Clark where Lex is so CLEARLY favoured that I start liking Clark (only in the story) more. I had that problem with Jack/Daniel from SG and Jack/Ianto from TW as well. While in the shows I emphasize with the less-favoured characters (aka Daniel and Ianto), in most stories I end up rooting for the other character.

The mind of a fangirl is a strange thing.
