1.  An endless game, chasing and catching and escaping again.  The chasing is the best part. (bradygirl_12 and snake_easing  guessed Bruce/Selina)
2.  Bitter enemies, fated slayers.  A vision of the future fails to reveal respect and mercy. (icarus_chained  got Londo/G'Kar)
3.  Fate, destiny, Doom:  a moth to a flame, comrades and warriors until the bitter end. (yavieriel  guessed Turin/Beleg)
4.  Good friends.  He loved her in secret.  Slowly, sweetly, she came to love him too. (fictionalknight  woke up with the realization this was Kira/Odo.  *grin*...snake_easing  guessed it too)
5.  He took his place to hold back the darkness.  Now it's him that needs saving.
6.  Hidden depths, nothing "simple" about either of them.  Sarcastic, ironic banter reveals many layers. (snake_easing  guessed Bashir/Garak)
7.  His father dreads the king's return, but he feels the dangerous allure of fealty. (ilyena_sylph  guessed Boromir/Aragorn)
8.  Idealist and cynic thrown together and apart;  the cynic searches, searches, searches...and (alas!) finds. (dshael guessed Avon/Blake)
9.  "What a piece of work is man" is arrogant in the extreme--but rather charming. (bradygirl_12  guessed Picard/Q)
10.  Mute, scarred, enslaved--he helped her raise her secret son and loved her in silence. (jade_dragoness guessed Araris/Isana)
11.  Passion and intellect exploring the universe together.  Fire and ice balanced in a perfect friendship. (jade_dragoness  guessed Kirk/Spock)
12.  Shadows and sunlight aren't opposites, but two halves of a whole.  They complete each other. (ilyena_sylph  guessed Clark/Bruce)
13.  She's a plant stunted by a cruel gardener.  How she longs to help her bloom. (ilyena_sylph  guessed Harley/Ivy)
14.  Their shared devotion was the only bright point in the dark realm they served. (tygati  delighted me by guessing Kunzite/Zoisite)
15.  They're pals--they have fun, get in trouble together.  Why not in bed too? (stinglikeabee  guessed Ted/Booster)

Notes: This was written about two months ago as a reflection on mortality, regret, and second chances.  Since then one of the characters who's dead in this story seems to have come back to life, and one that's living in the story has died.  Do a bit of a mental rewind for me, please.  :)

(  It's never too late, Diana said quietly beside him, her presence as solid as the earth. )
