With Valentines Day upon us, the mind turns to romance.
And what could be a better way to spend the hearts-and-chocolate holiday than curled up with your favorite streaming services, watching fictional television characters fall in love?
Once Upon A Time: Snow Drifts/Theres No Place Like Home
The season 3 finale found Captain Hook and Emma Swan being pulled into a time portal that transported them to a time before her parents had met and fallen in love. While its fun to relive all the great Snowing moments from season 1, the real romance is between Captain Hook and Emma Swan.
Watch Princess Emma and her handsome pirate sweep around the dance floor, momentarily distracted from their back-to-the-future-style hijinks in the enchanted forest.
Best line: Youre depriving me of a dashing rescue!
Watch both episodes: Netflix
Parks and Recreation: Smallest Park
When Ben and Leslie meet, they find each other annoying. But as they work together, the feelings they develop for each other are complicated by the workplace rule that prevents them from dating. Eventually, they realize they cant be without each other, in Pawnee and the worlds smallest park.
Watch them discuss their options, and share a very sweet kiss.
Best line: There is another option. We could just say, 'screw it' and do this thing for real.

Veronica Mars: Look Whos Stalking
Fans of LoVe (thats LOgan and VEronica for non-shippers) will always remember when, at the alterna-prom, Logan uses some liquid courage to loosen his tongue and tell Veronica how much hes always cared about her.
Watch the star-crossed lovers banter their way to a serious moment, where a girl realizes she might still be in love with a boy even if their relationship is fraught.

The OC: The Telenovela
Awkward nerd Seth demands that popular girl Summer make their relationship public, even though shes scared. Cutting off the line at her kissing booth (its for charity!), he stands on top of a coffee cart and declares his luv for his soulmate.
