Over the course of six seasons, no American Horror Story couple has managed to dethrone Tate and Violet as the show's best couple. The star-crossed teens found love in a hopeless place, aka the Murder House, and we've never been the same. Even creator Ryan Murphy has referred to Evan Peters and Taissa Farmiga as the "Romeo and Juliet" of the series, and we're begging to see them together again. For now, let's relish their moments together, however dark and twisted they are.

This is Violet.

And this is Tate.

Sure, he's dead. But look how cute he is!

Violet and Tate are just friends at first.

But it turns into something more.

Violet is a light in Tate's dark world.

He needs her in a very real way.

And she doesn't know it, but she needs him, too.

They fall for each other.

And it's so pure.

Their young love is aspirational, but there's more to it.

These two tortured souls are drawn to each other.

Let's pretend we don't know what that rubber suit is about and enjoy this moment.

Slowly, Violet starts to realize what's going on.

She's dead.

And Tate is there for her while she slips away.
