I can't believe...

I'm stealing another meme from bluflamingo *sighs

But, okay, here it goes:

a. Give me a pairing(/threesome/moresome) and I'll tell you my favorite get-together plot

b. Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them

c. Tell me a pairing, and I will tell you:

1. When or if I started shipping them:
2. What I think their challenge is:
3. What makes me happy about them:
4. What makes me sad about them:
5. What moment I wish had never happened:
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
7. My happily ever after for them:

Because you know you love me (and/or hate me. Depending on how ebil I'm being) I'm going to do all three :P (AND! I'm going to hit 3 fandoms!)

A} Eliot/Parker

B} Lt McSmartypants (Aka Lt Simmons)

C} Harm/Mac (I *know* we've discussed it but I CANNOT remember any of it at the moment. yes you may beat me with the beta noodle of doom now.)

Righty...oh...

A} Eliot/Parker

Whatever it would be, it sure as hell would be... interesting. Parker definitely would startle Eliot and Eliot would definitely growl at Parker but what's more important is that they would both have to get past each others' defenses. It would challenge them - not necessarily in a conventional challenging way but more of an emotional challenge - and push them and make them challenge and push each other. But yeah... most of all it would be interesting :D

B} Lt McSmartypants (Aka Lt Simmons)

#1 He's... smart. One really never should forget that despite everything, he actually is smart. Really. He is. I swear.

#2 He's loyal. It's hard to win his trust but when he finally decides that he can trust you, he will follow you to hell and back. Fortunately, he decided to trust Laura and Evan. Otherwise, they would have been in for an... interesting ride.

#3 He's a farm boy. Like, a real one. But he never wanted to be one. He does have a burning ambition (so it's not that far-fetched to perceive him as overzealous and career minded) and the wish to fucking prove that he can, whatever it is. However... a few weeks after he came to Atlantis... he finds himself missing the farm and it's kind of embarrassing for him, so he never tells anyone. Not even Miss Wilson.

#4 At first, the Sergeants scared him. Then they annoyed him. Then he realized he'd be an idiot to ignore them. So he started to howl with the wolves and now Evan isn't quite sure if he should be afraid of his team or just ignore whatever truce Simmons and the Sergeants made.

#5 Laura still scares him, Evan inspires awe, Tom is an evil bastard, Maureen either deluded or a very, very brave woman (or maybe both), Sheppard is someone he'd rather not come across all too often and Miss Wilson is... well, Miss Wilson.

C} Harm/Mac

1. When or if I started shipping them: when they met in the rose garden *hearts in my eyes
2. What I think their challenge is: themselves. Seriously, I think the UCMJ was a lesser obstacle than themselves.
3. What makes me happy about them: they might be their biggest obstacle but they never really stopped trying to overcome even that one.
4. What makes me sad about them: that it TAKES THEM JUST SO FUCKING LONG! (okay... maybe that's more agitated than sad...)
5. What moment I wish had never happened: damn, it's been so long since I saw anything JAG... but I distintcly remember that I wished they hadn't tried to make Harm and Renee a couple.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Meg for Harm... and I knew I had one for Mac in my head but damn, I forgot his name :S
7. My happily ever after for them: Harm resigns his commission (because seriously, why does it always have to be the girl that gives up her commission?), goes into civilian aviation (a little air school, maybe) and Mac can go on being an awesome kick-ass Marine and lawyer... and maybe there will also be kids :D
