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. (
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)

Date: 2009-01-17 08:15 pm (UTC)*high fives* :)
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-17 04:06 am (UTC)6 is Garak/Bashir, obviously.
11 is not actually Fire/Ice, is it?
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-17 05:50 am (UTC)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. :)
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-17 06:44 am (UTC)???!!! 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.
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-17 07:22 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2009-01-17 08:46 am (UTC)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... ;)
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-17 02:18 pm (UTC)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. ^__^
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-18 04:46 am (UTC)*checks out the art* Oh, that one of Kunzite as in Jane Austen is just yummy in the extreme...
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-18 05:11 am (UTC)Mmm, kir-tat goodness. I think I need to go dig up all the ancient fanarts I have collected and saved over the years. ^___^
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-19 07:53 am (UTC)*falls over laughing* I bought my husband a shard of kunzite and he bought me zoisite earrings. ^-^ v Damn, zoisite is expensive...
We can be hopeless geeks together! *does secret Dark Kingdom hand signal*

Date: 2009-01-17 04:46 pm (UTC)and 3 sorta kinda sounds like Zero/Yuki, but I'm probably wrong.
ETA: is #8 House & Wilson, by any chance?
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-18 04:57 am (UTC)I thought later about putting in Zero/Yuki, but nope. :) I do like them a lot, though!

Date: 2009-01-19 07:48 am (UTC)But you're right about #4, yay! I love the image of you snapping awake with the answer, lol. :)
(no subject)
Date: 2009-01-17 04:59 pm (UTC)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.
