Do you happen to have any pairings that would amuse you that aren't canon already and don't involve Kayto (or Icari with Kryska, since they're at least minorly canon)?
Seeing Claude try to flirt her way through the brick wall that is Sola would amuse me, but is ultimately futile.

Hey admiralcheese - Sunrider Academy 2: The Leftover Cast could soon be within reach if we get enough pairings here. How about Fontana x Kuushana? That could come into fruition at some point as it shows that even the Kayto x Ava route has a rival comparison on the PACT side.

Seeing Claude try to flirt her way through the brick wall that is Sola would amuse me, but is ultimately futile. Well, aside from the hinted yuri-tension between Icari and Kryska (Claude having anything close to bi-inclinations was only in the Novelization last I checked), most of the girls seem to be rather soundly heterosexual. And so far, the only other guy in the entirety of the Sunrider series is Fontana, who is pretty much Ryuvia's current ruler by way of it being his stronghold ATM and has had at least partial interaction with Asaga, so that might be a thing if Asaga doesn't end up with Kayto. As for the others... I don't know.

Hum... maybe Sophita with one of the Sunrider's main EW specialists that has a funny accent and a stranger name...
Kidding aside, I'm not a yuri fan and most of the girls do seem to be heterosexual, so for now not much. Maybe if we had more males, or at least they survived more... (the crack idea of Admiral Grey somehow being Claude's sugar daddy still both cracks and grosses me out)
On Fontana, I'm divided. I'll probably wait until I read "Veniczar" and then I have a bigger picture of his character and what happened during the revolution.

Not too hot on the rest of them. They all seem to be firmly heterosexual. I miiiiight be okay with Fontana and Asaga, but that's only because I refuse to consider the Ava Fontana pairing. Something something, apology, mutual propping up, something, Ava kicks Fontana's ass.

Part of pairing the spares, thankfully, is throwing things like logic out of the way and assuming that sexuality is as fluid as the falling rain.
I'd assume Fontana and Ava would probably have problems. They'd either be hard nosed enough to earn the respect of the other or they'd push each other away by trying to out hard each other.

Claude / Revolver Ocelot. I see where you're going with this. And I think I like it.

Whoa whoa whoa. Ghost Maray is only for Kayto (even notGhost Maray was disgusted by Asaga's siscon tendencies), and we both know that.

And THIS is why I'm so tempted! Fortunately, Ava is MY Sunrider-Waifu and I would sooner see Fontana dead then him hitting on her.

Given that they're both hard-assed military officers, Ava and Fontana would probably be an even fight (that sick headshot on Arcadius is proof he isn't a slacker in a fight).

(that sick headshot on Arcadius is proof he isn't a slacker in a fight). You forgot sneaking on two people and a kill bot and somehow sniping the intended target of 2 people hugging each other. Reminder that Fontana has killed more prototypes than anyone (except maybe Sola) else in the story.

He's the only one to kill one on the 'personal scale', so far. Sola only fragged a hologram as far as prototypes who aren't in Ryders.
The closest someone else comes to that is Kryska, who killed a pirate guard barehanded.

Yeah, you're right. Sola's kill of the first Arcadius was cool though, so I gave her extra points.
But yeah, reminder that Fontana means business when he appears with a gun and is the only one to actively kill major characters with one!

Hopefully, Kayto proves that he actually passed military basic training when confronted with a combat situation while armed.

Kayto's at least managed to go through multiple, full-scale military grade skirmishes and barely come out with a scratch. (Physically wise, mental he is a wreck.) Charging in and grabbing Asaga in Operation Wedding Crash, his rescue from Cosette on ongess after a couple days of abuse, and he managed to survive the liberation day massacre where kill-bots were gunning down people in-mass around him. While he hasn't done too much personal combat, he has at least proven he can survive far better than most in crazy combat scenarios.
That was one thing I am kind of disappointed wasn't explored more in the first three games, boarding. It would have been interesting to have had the Sunrider boarded by enemy combatants, either before or during an actual conflict where you'd have to send your ryders out to defend the ship itself. But who knows, perhaps we will have a chance to see some more guerrilla warfare and other underhanded and stealthy tactics in play now that we are without military grade ware and backing.
Back to the topic at hand though. I am not sure if 'pairing the spares' is what I would mainly be looking for, but I'd definitely like to see more interactions between the crew. I really enjoyed the dynamics between your crew in mass effect.
As of Liberation Day 2.0, Asaga and Chigara are completely over as friendly relationships go. Instead Asaga and Sola have managed to become friends of some sort due to their shared heritage. And then of course there is Icari and Kryska being best friends now. Other than those two, there really isn't that much interaction between the main characters sans Kayto.
One pairing I feel that would be interesting, or at the very least funny, would be Ava and Claude. Almost complete opposites, so I feel they'd have a great dynamic between the two. Maybe it could end in a mutual, if grudging, respect for one another.
I have no idea if Fontana and Kuushana would go so far as a romantic relationship. From their dialog at the end of 2.0, I feel they are a lot more like two comrades with a great deal of respect and admiration for one another, but not so much romantic interest. I will need to wait though and see how the precursor novel ties Fontana together with the rest of the PACT resistance.

The main problem with VNs is that there isn't often enough couples to go around, and I'm not a fan of making characters LGBT just for the sake of them being that way. Guess that's why I'm not a fan of the Icari X Kryska bit since it seems way too forced as the two of them go from barely talking to best buds with little actual interaction in between. Well that and I lay claim to Icari (SHE'S MINE!!! ).
