Honestly, I can't see Bubbles and Faye working as a couple. Not in the sense of some comment that Jeph made about AI/Human relations years back. I mean in the sense that both Faye and Bubbles are in their own ways, to be rather blunt, very broken people.
People have this strange fixation on the idea that romance fixes everything, that love fixes all, as if people can be equated to the Japanese art of kintsugi. And that doesn't happen. Two broken people don't just magically fix each other. To get from that point, that pit, it takes time, support from others and that own desire to heal, because no one else can make you do that, love can't do that. It can only offer support.
But for all that I have said though, I can see Bubbles and Faye having a very deep and close friendship, a bond that goes passed the idea of romance but rather a bond built upon their own struggles and realising they aren't alone in their pain. Because sometimes, friendship can mean more to someone than love, that is philia love rather than eros love.

The two are not mutually exclusive. I married my best friend.

As much as I like Bubbles, I wouldn't want to share a bed with her, it would be like sleeping with a Harley Davidson.
A Harley Davidson that could roll around in it's sleep, snore, and hog the covers.

That's the best kind of love and the best expression of it.
Some people just get really confused about the different kinds of love, mainly shippers.

Does Bubbles even sleep? I seem to recall Momo not needing to sleep.
