1) Pick up to 15 pairings you like
2) Describe them in up to 15 words
3) Get your friends to guess

(As a hint:  5 are DC, 4 are Trek, 6 are other fandoms;  11 are m/m, 3 are m/f, one is f/f).

1.  An endless game, chasing and catching and escaping again.  The chasing is the best part. ([livejournal.com profile] bradygirl_12 and [livejournal.com profile] snake_easing  guessed Bruce/Selina)
2.  Bitter enemies, fated slayers.  A vision of the future fails to reveal respect and mercy. ([livejournal.com profile] icarus_chained  got Londo/G'Kar)
3.  Fate, destiny, Doom:  a moth to a flame, comrades and warriors until the bitter end. ([livejournal.com profile] yavieriel  guessed Turin/Beleg)
4.  Good friends.  He loved her in secret.  Slowly, sweetly, she came to love him too. ([livejournal.com profile] fictionalknight  woke up with the realization this was Kira/Odo.  *grin*...[livejournal.com profile] 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. ([livejournal.com profile] snake_easing  guessed Bashir/Garak)
7.  His father dreads the king's return, but he feels the dangerous allure of fealty. ([livejournal.com profile] ilyena_sylph  guessed Boromir/Aragorn)
8.  Idealist and cynic thrown together and apart;  the cynic searches, searches, searches...and (alas!) finds. ([livejournal.com profile] dshael guessed Avon/Blake)
9.  "What a piece of work is man" is arrogant in the extreme--but rather charming. ([livejournal.com profile] bradygirl_12  guessed Picard/Q)
10.  Mute, scarred, enslaved--he helped her raise her secret son and loved her in silence. ([livejournal.com profile] jade_dragoness guessed Araris/Isana)
11.  Passion and intellect exploring the universe together.  Fire and ice balanced in a perfect friendship. ([livejournal.com profile] jade_dragoness  guessed Kirk/Spock)
12.  Shadows and sunlight aren't opposites, but two halves of a whole.  They complete each other. ([livejournal.com profile] ilyena_sylph  guessed Clark/Bruce)
13.  She's a plant stunted by a cruel gardener.  How she longs to help her bloom. ([livejournal.com profile] ilyena_sylph  guessed Harley/Ivy)
14.  Their shared devotion was the only bright point in the dark realm they served. ([livejournal.com profile] tygati  delighted me by guessing Kunzite/Zoisite)
15.  They're pals--they have fun, get in trouble together.  Why not in bed too? ([livejournal.com profile] stinglikeabee  guessed Ted/Booster)

7. is either Boromir/Aragorn or Faramir/Aragorn, and i'm not sure which.
12. Clark/Bruce
13. Harley/Ivy?

Correct on all of them! I was thinking Boromir/Aragorn (admittedly there's less space in canon for that, lol), but it works well for either.

1 is Bruce/Selina, but it could easily be Picard/Q.

6 is Garak/Bashir, obviously.

11 is not actually Fire/Ice, is it?

1. You're right, it could...or Jarod/Parker from the Pretender, a pairing that almost made the list. Obviously I like the dynamic. *grin*

I also note that 20% of my favorite pairings end up with one of them killing the other. @_@

6. Yays! *dances* The first pairing I ever "saw" entirely on my own...

11. Nope, I mean it more metaphorically here, although I do like Fire/Ice. :)

???!!! I wouldn't have pegged you as the villain/hero type, I honestly wouldn't. But now that I know, can I interest you in a little Batman/Darkseid? (I joke.)

6. Yays! *dances* The first pairing I ever "saw" entirely on my own...

The word "simple" was what did it; I would have gotten it from that alone. That pairing was also my first. God, I was so young! And I never paid attention to the age restrictions on fan content, let me tell you.

One more guess: Holmes/Watson for 8.

???!!! I wouldn't have pegged you as the villain/hero type, I honestly wouldn't.

The odd thing is that not a one of them is a villain/hero pairing. :) Let's see...one is a mercy killing and two have a moment of panic or battle-lust lead to tragedy (one of them is #8, so not Holmes/Watson).

The word "simple" was what did it; I would have gotten it from that alone. That pairing was also my first.

I loved them so. *sighs* They and the canon pairing that's also in the list were the reason I loved DS9...and then TPTB broke them both up and I was in mourning for years.

Jesus, yeah, TPTB broke them up--to cut down on the gay? And then put Bashir with O'Brien and added scads more homoeroticism . . . but it was okay because O'Brien added some homophobia to the mix? I really don't know.

4 is Odo/Kira. 2 is Buffy/Angel or Buffy/Spike.

Right on Odo/Kira! But nope, I never watched Buffy at all, I remain almost entirely unexposed to Joss Whedon in my life somehow. *fails at geek cred*

From: [identity profile] snake-easing.livejournal.com
No, that's cool. I had friends try to get me into Buffy, but I never went for it. I'm just not into "cute" dialogue, and Joss never writes anything without it being "cute".

Oh, what a lovely icon! *swoons*

Yeah, Kunzite and Zoisite were one of my first loves--I even RPed Zoi on a MUD way back when, with my husband as Kunzite. We had lots of fun with the American fans who weren't sure what gender the character was... ;)

I am happily boggled that you of all people shares my oldest and dearest fandom pairing. ^___^ I also got my start back on MU*s, first learning about the characters from some pretty awesome RPers, then shifting gears to a new MUX and getting to play Zoisite myself. ^_^ Good times.

Icon is by kir-tat, who I think is unquestionably the modern-day mistress of K/Z. I miss some of the old ones, but she keeps me in crack well enough. ^__^

*laugh* I own darkkingdom.com ^^ I once painted a 2ft tall bust of Zoisite on my bedroom wall. I have a terrible boot fetish entirely begun because I wanted to cosplay Zoisite. (I still never have, but I have the boots for it!) and I still have small pieces of the minerals Kunzite and Zoisite sharing a plastic baggie in my desk drawer. ^^; I am Hopeless.

Mmm, kir-tat goodness. I think I need to go dig up all the ancient fanarts I have collected and saved over the years. ^___^

We can be hopeless geeks together! *does secret Dark Kingdom hand signal*

going to take a *wild* guess and say #4 sounds like Scotty/Uhura -- like I said, wild guess. lol!

and 3 sorta kinda sounds like Zero/Yuki, but I'm probably wrong.

ETA: is #8 House & Wilson, by any chance?

#4--wrong Trek, lol. (But great icon!)

I thought later about putting in Zero/Yuki, but nope. :) I do like them a lot, though!

Nope on #8--I've never seen House! Which makes it kind of funny I was able to guess yours from that, but I do see enough people talking about it...

But you're right about #4, yay! I love the image of you snapping awake with the answer, lol. :)

just a little guess...

Is No.4 is "Picard / Dr.Beverly Crusher"?

Because you mentioned Trek, and this was the one occurred to me when I saw the description.

I had Lance/Arthur in there but couldn't make it work as well as the others, so I dropped it in favor of a different one. Oddly, 3 is actually Beleg/Turin, although 8 is good for them as well. One of my three "they kill each other" ships, lol.

Ho ho, #5 is Dick/Tim. I think practically no one knows I like the pairing, lol. But I really like the hero worship beginnings and comradelike later feelings they have...I'm really happy that so far in the wake of Bruce's death they've been supportive of each other.
