the art of making beautiful discoveries or a fortunate accident
they never meant to fall in love. they just did. it was a beautiful discovery & a fortune accident.

Their love story requires many roads to travel and many obstacles to finish. But if it's anything...
their love is raw and powerful. Having known each other inside and out, they've grown to love
each other's strengths and flaws. Nate even kept defending her... it's as if it comes naturally... to
protect her. They don't have to try or study each other. It's just so natural and is. It's passion... not
lust. They don't think... they feel! Even Dan's subconscious is hinting out to him that what Nate and
Serena have is so inate. Unstudied. Making love not for the sake of having sex.. but because they
share a deep underlying passion for each other.

Although they can be rough and steamy, they can also be so delicate and intimate with each
other. They have the best of both worlds. And it's breathtaking.

Both make each other want to be a better person. And, by being apart, they become the empty shells of
their former selves. It's a given fact that they complete each other.

Right now, Nate and Serena are working out their issues separately. Nate with his aristocratic family
and Serena with her own identity.

So that when they do finally get together, it wouldn't much of an issue. They wouldn't have to apologize
for who they are and for choosing to be with each other. Like, somehow, they're working to fix all the
things that goes between them or hinder them from happening. Like, somehow, they're preparing
themselves to become, someday, better people for each other.

In his darkness, she is the light. When everything's wrong, he is her right.

Serena and Nate are like the sunshine. So beautifully natural and radiant. Serena never has to hide who she really is because Nate accepts every part of her, the good and the bad. No matter what happens, or how much time has passed they'll always find their way back to each other. There's only one girl who can make Natie the happiest. And only one boy could ever look into Serena's blue eyes and understand all of her sunlight, her spirit. Nate and Serena belong together, and one day they'll find a way to make each other stay. ♥

It's just something about these two. With not more than nine (9) scenes together in one season, they have a solid (not to mention, growing) fan base, which just speaks for itself. Plus, they are physically, the two most beautiful people on Gossip Girl which doesn't hurt, either. Shipping them isn't always the easiest thing to do since the odds are always against them (book and show) but it's completely worth it when you know the magnitude of their feelings for one another.
-Rebel_Diamond

For me, they are the meaning of true love. They really are soulmates but everything is so complicated... so complicated that they never gave themselves a chance. Trying not to hurt Blair made them hurt each other and when they finally let their feelings take the better of them, Serena ran away. The fact that even after one (1) year those feelings are still there, it's WOW! They can't stay apart. I think that at the end of the day it's still Serena and Nate no matter what. They are unstoppable. They are like the rain - it touches all.
-Lôwrane

They are comfortable and happy in each other's presence yet, at the same time, their feelings for each other and their past always seeps in to make things awkward for them. They have an amazing friendship and are always there for each other during rough times. That awkwardness I love because it shows how they are trying to fight what they feel for each other.
-♥ Laura ♥

These two get each other. They understand each other on a level beyond a normal relationship, thanks to their deep friendship. They are there for one another when it's necessary and want what's best for the other person. I also am a fan of how they communicate and how you can just feel that there is something more than friendship underneath the surface.
-Undeniable
When I started watching Gossip Girl, I was really touched by Dan and Serena's relationship. I liked the fact that he always loved her so much and unconditionally - he could never bring her down. And then the story kept going - Dan became a very judgemental person, and Serena's personality started to change. So I decided to re-watch the series, to pay more attention and I realized that Dan wasn't the one that felt that unconditional love for Serena. It was Nate. He could never forget her - and even though he tried to, I have the feeling that he never wanted to forget her. 'Cause she was the meaning of everything to him - all that he wanted, freedom, sunshine, dreams, and happiness. What he felt for her was so untouchable and pretty, yet real. It wasn't forced. We're not supposed to find their relationship epic - it just is. It's about freedom, about understanding, about friendship, about all the little things that build a great love. Love is about saving each other - and that's what Nate and Serena do. They save each other.

Mr. Bean supports Team Serendipity-

I was an avid reader of the books and from the very first I loved Nate and Serena. I loved how much he loved her and the comfort level they found in each other that they didn't find in anyone else. Fast forward to the show and Chace and Blake just had it. They personified everything I wanted to see of NS, especially in the pilot. I felt their passion, their longing, their sadness - they had it in spades. They sucked me in from the start and I'm still hanging on hoping for more.
-Whitney

Serenate, the best ship name out there! Serena & Nate, "the best friend and boyfriend". I think it’s a relationship that so many people can relate to. I know I’ve thought my best friend’s boyfriend was pretty good looking at times haha. But in all seriousness, they have this passion, this fire between them. They held it in for so long and then that one day at the wedding, it exploded (no pun intended). It’s not something either of them has forgotten. No matter what happens between them and anyone else, I know they’ll never forget each other. If nothing else, they are best friends and half of the non-judging breakfast club!
-Natasha122

Nate and Serena has a relationship that is quite compelling to watch. It's not something that is two-dimensional or just merely black and white. It's a burst of colors that would leave one just spell-bounded. One doesn't necessarily complete the other because they are already whole as a character in themselves but when they are together - it's something that is so undeniably obvious - they just SHINE. Their connection needs no words. They share comfortable silences because of their deep friendship and yet they also share tension-filled silences because of their raw and subtly powerful love for each other.
-SergeantPepper

For me, they are "the special two", the Prince and the Princess of the UES .It seems like they have a sort of "golden aura" that appears only when they're together. Serena lights up and Nate can't help but stare at her like she is the most precious thing in the world.
-Lyssie88

It’s hard to say why they’re so perfect together, they’ve been friends since they were children but they didn’t talk for almost for a year, so it’s not like they’re the most shippable couple ever. But the fact is that when they come back to have even only one scene together, you can feel the electricity in the air. The way they smile and look at each other is something you can’t not notice, because they shine like the sun. Even if they pretend that the other isn’t missing, you know that at the end of the day they’ll think about it, and that’s because when you love someone, you just can’t forget the way his smile made you feel- like you’ll always remember that beautiful and simple moment.
-agarina

It's not often you can look at a couple and truly, I mean truly, say they are meant to be together. But that's what I see when I look at Serena and Nate. The thing with Serena is that she needs to be with someone who knows her and lets her really be herself. She tends to adapt when she's with someone, to whatever their idea of her is. Nate has known her so long and knows her so well, that she doesn't have to pretend to be anything other than what and who she is, and she doesn't have to apologize for it. And Nate needs someone who understands how he feels about his upbringing and his family, and if anyone gets it, it's Serena. They've known each other forever. They're always there for one another, no matter what. And whether or not they've wanted to admit it, there's always been love hidden beneath the surface of their friendship. It's a real, honest kind of love that's been there from the start. They're meant to be, plain and simple.

Nate Archibald never cries. Happy or sad, his tear ducts are sealed
shut.

Blair knew this.

When Nate and Blair got married at sunset on his yacht in the French
Riviera, he didn’t cry. She could barely recite her vows. Her happily ever
after had finally happened, and she was thrilled. The tears that ran
down her face smeared her perfect makeup, and for once she didn’t care.
Nate repeated his vows, a careful smile on his face. His eyes darted
behind her for a moment. She turned around and saw her still-best-friend
Serena crying her pretty little eyes out. Her makeup wasn’t smudged.

She fixed her make up.

When Nate got the news that his dad had died from a relapse overdose,
he didn’t cry. He walked into his study, slammed the door shut, and
talked on the phone for two hours straight. He wouldn’t talk to Blair. He
refused her food, her words of wisdom, her company. He didn’t tell her
who he was on the phone with. He wouldn’t even open the door for her.
So Blair called her still-best-friend, looking for help about the situation.
The line was busy.

For two hours straight.

When Blair finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl after thirteen
exhausting hours of labor, he didn’t cry. When they had first announced
that it was a girl, his face lit up and he even teared up a bit. Blair was
too tired to even move, but the look on his face told her everything
that she needed to know. When the child was brought over to her, she
snapped out of her exhausted haze. The baby girl wasn’t the spitting
image of her mother, as she expected it to be. The newborn had bright
blue eyes and golden blonde hair, like her father. Her still-best-friend
Serena came tumbling in and she laughed and giggled at the beautiful
baby. It hurt Blair to see so many similarities. Nate suggested they
name her Serena, after she had left.

They named her Audrey.

When Nate and Blair walked into her no-longer-best-friend’s funeral,
he cried. He cried so hard that his whole body shook. He wasn’t
ashamed of the tears, in fact he didn’t even try to wipe them away.
He let them fall freely. And when he went up to the pulpit to talk
about her, he couldn’t get his words out. His voice choked on the
word Serena, and he walked back down from the pulpit when he was
finished with as much dignity as he could muster.

Nate Archibald did cry.

There they go again, making history. - 050

Because my heart’s crippled by the vein that I keep on closing.
Why did I choose these mistakes to make? Because it's you.
Because beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth.. I loved you first.
Because I'm falling more in love with every single word I withhold.
Because what I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know.
Because what I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go.
Coz we were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the flashback starts.
Because when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free.
Because all the words you sang to me - about life, the truth and being free.
All the while u were in front of me I never realized. Cant believe I didnt see it in ur eyes.
Because I didn't see it. I couldn't believe it. But I FEEL it.
Because I'll break the back of love for you.
Because even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you, dear.
Try as he might, he's unable to speak. He grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek.
When you get lonely, if no one's around, you know that I'll catch you when you're falling down.
Come with me tonight, we can make the night last forever.
Because I've seen everything, you've got nothing to prove.
Because I wanted freedom. Bound and restricted. I tried to give you up but I'm addicted.
Because you're the one that could have been.
I thought of you and where you'd gone. The world spins madly on.
God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay.
Because baby, lets live while our souls are still free.
I'm so confused will you show to me you'll be there for me & care enough to bear me?."
So I’ll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine to hold forevermore.
And who’s to say that we’re not good enough, that this is not our love?
Because there are certain people you just keep coming back to: she is right in front of you.
She pulled you in, bit your lip & made you hers, quiet in the grasp of dusk & summer.
Everyone keeps trying but they won’t tear us apart. They don’t know that u got me from the start.
Because it’s l o v e, baby.
Because he wanted the whole city to hear how much he loved her.
"She loved him. No matter what happened, she would always love him."
The first rule of Fight Club is... hold on to ur whiskers & pray for nekked NS smexy time.
"I am vamphayr. And Serena is mahn!" - Nate
If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God as my witness, I'll find more carrots to eat!
No, it wasn't the airplanes. It was the lack of NS that killed the beast.
Because Taylor Swift ships NS and they're a song waiting to be written.
Because you look a whole lot like my last first kiss.
Because well, all I want to do is love you, a kind much closer than friends use.
Because I will find a way to you if it kills me.
Because we still believe in love.
Because who I am, from the start, take me home to my heart.
Because unpredictability's our responsibility, baby.
Because our parents used to joke about the two of us, growing up and falling in love.
Believe me when I say nothing's gonna change destiny, nothing's gonna change you and me.
Because THIS IS HOW WE DO IT.
NS are gonna try defying gravity, and you can't bring them down.
Because you won't steal our SuNShiNe no more!
People who are meant to be together, always find their way in 3.10
Because did you SEE his face when they hugged?
Because it was always more than a drunken hookup.
Ask her if she wants to stay a while, and she will be loved
{Borgy}
What's that? Borgy pwns all and NS wins all.
Shhh, don't tell Borgy we're crazed NS shippers just like him.
Dear Josh and Steph, Borgy wants NS NOW! Make it happen and he'll be nice.
"A creator once tried to test me. I ate his liver with poptarts and pizza." -Borgy
{Christmas}
Later on we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire. ♥
We three bunnies of orient are, bearing gifts we travel afar!
The holly green, the ivy green, the prettiest Bunnyland you’ve ever seen!
It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau while cuddling under the mistletoe.
Come on! It’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. ♪
Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy, cozy are we. ♫
Rudolph the red-nosed bunny had a very shiny noseeeeee!
What a bright time, it’s the right time, to rock the night away - bunny style!
It’s the hap-happiest time of the year!
There’ll be much mistletoe-ing, and hearts will be glowing, when loved ones are near.
Now I’ve found a real love, you’ll never fool me again. ♥

-SERENA AND NATE STAND NEXT TO EACH OTHER AT BARTS FUNERAL
-Serena and Nate breathe the same air in the SAME school hallway
-"What are you saying? That Nate is in love with you?"
-"OH B.! Thanks for bringing... Nate?"
