I remain flabbergasted by how many of the top ships from 2013 (shown in red above) are still the top ships in 2026. And it's not that they got huge and then completely stagnated; over 7K Destiel works, or ~6% of that ship, updated within the past year, even though the show ended in 2020. Also updated in the last year: over 10K Drarry works (12% of the ship); 2.6K Sterek works (3% of the ship); 3.4K Johnlock works (4% of the ship). There are plenty of ships with new canon growing faster, but all those old juggernauts are all still generating thousands of new/updated works per year, even if they are well past their heydays.
