I'd go even one step further than you: for me, these random connections actually demean L&N's relationship (and any relationship in any story in which this happens - which is sadly a lot >_<), rather than adding to it, since in my eyes, friendship trumps fate. Why is not good enough that they built they own solid connection through their adventures together? In my experience, the relationships you built yourself through understanding and the necessary time and effort spent with people you chose are worth far more than the connections lumped on you by mere circumstances.

Should Lucy "like" (no shipping here, folks, dontyaworry) Natsu because one of his ancestors knew him and his family 400 years ago? Pffft. Fuck that noise. :D Should Lucy like Natsu, because they saved each others lives countless time and shared the most memorable moments of their lives and generally have a good time together? Now, that's the ticket.
