Well, I feel obligated to do this, so here it goes.
Pairing:
Synlet. -cue mass booing-
Does this ship conflict with a designated canon ship? If so, which one and do you like it, too?
It conflicts with two, actually. While Syndrome/Mirage is okay, even enjoyable on occasion, I don’t like Viony. I find Tony far too bland and Violet is too much like me for me to accept her with a bland guy.
When did you first contemplate this ship?
The night I rewatched it for the first time (December 21, 2008) I decided to look up some fanart on dA, and there were immense amounts of Synlet waiting for me. At first I was like “what the heck?!” And then I started reading one of the fanfics.
Reality check time! How likely is it that this ship would EVER happen? Horrendously unlikely, unlikely, average chance, above average chance, or I-can’t-believe-they-aren’t-canon chance?
Very small. If Syndrome isn’t dead, he would probably never be accepted by a girl who he tried to kill, unless it was a stockholm syndrome situation (heh, I made a funny) and I doubt that he’d be alive long if either of the parents found out. It’s pretty much bordering on impossible.
Do you prefer one-sided (and if show which direction) or reciprocated?
Personally, I prefer reciprocated, but I think that one-sided would be WAY more plausible and easier. Violet could pretty easily get concerned with how he became the way he did and maybe do some research on him or something, and then finds herself liking a dead person… I don’t know.
I have to ask: WHY?
Well, for every reason not to ship it there’s two reasons why for me so I’ll try and keep this short. Syndrome/Mirage is Done, capital D intended. Violet and Tony are teenage lovers, which in a good number of cases don’t go anywhere in life. It’s all part of figuring out who you are, which is a big problem for Vi. If Tony decided to dump her for whatever reason, she wouldn’t be wearing those pink shirts anymore. That I can guarantee.
They seem to be on opposite sides of the power line- she doesn’t want her powers and has them, he wants them and doesn’t. They have similar senses of humor, and Syndrome (at least in one visible instance) does seem to like thin girls. Plus, the love/hate between the two is amazing. There are a TON more reasons, but I’m not the best at explaining why I like things and I’m kind of tired right now. I’d cite the website but it was on geocities so that’s gone too.
Show the pairing some love! Either show off your fanart/fanfic (with links) or even an admired piece of the aforementioned by someone else instead, or simply post a short drabble right here, right now! (REMEMBER: Please try to keep it PG!):
Well, I have several fanfics and a ton of fanart all of which can be found here:

But I’m going to post my favorite drabble here as well, one by the “mother” of Synlet, crzysheelf. The title is “Different,” and it’s from her drabble collection.
The girl lying before him couldn’t possibly be the little, gangly thing he remembered from all those years ago. Yeah, sure, she had the same hair color and skin tone, but besides that this couldn’t be her. He took a step closer. He had been ecstatic when his minions had stumbled on his most hated enemy’s daughter. He wondered what she had been up to. His informants had found a super residing in San Diego fitting her description. When they finally tracked her down she had been at beach, just sitting there.
The story both intrigued and attracted Syndrome. The meek little girl he had seen so few times would never be far away from mommy and daddy, but this girl, she seemed to be someone entirely new.
He jerked back when she began to stir, turning slightly on the bed. He stepped up to her leaning in close, placing his hands on the bed. He leaned in closer still. He brought his face close to hers, instincts taking over completely, but he was shaken from his trance by the flutter of eyelids.
He held her eye contact for a few moments, trying to figure out the thoughts behind those dark eyes, but she was the one to surprise him this time. Suddenly, He felt her lips on his. He was almost too stunned to react, but finally he fell into her kiss.
Then, she surprised him one more time. He barely felt the pain until he was lying on the floor. She had brought her knee up between his legs. Syndrome struggled up, only to see his new prisoner running out the door. He laid back down, confident that she wouldn’t get far. He cursed under his breath. Yes, this was a new girl all together.
