Stands for 'One True Pairing.' Your ultimate ship — the romantic pairing you'd put above all others in a fandom. People will scream OTP about anything from canon couples to two characters who've shared three lines of dialogue. Variants OT3, OT4, OT5 etc. extend it to polyamorous groupings (common in K-pop, where OT7 means 'all seven members together forever').
