Pick 5 of your OTPs and then list which specific moment made them your OTP.

1. Buffy/Spike 4ever! I first thought they'd be hot and a great ship during Out Of My Mind. Then I watched the end of Fool For Love, and haven't been the same since.

Spike looking at Buffy like the most adorable girl ever in Life Serial when she's getting drunk and taking on Jonathon, The snarking at one another from Older and Far Away.

The hand scene from Afterlife. When Buffy touches Spike's chest in Lesson, the church scene from Beneath You.

The sex in Smashed. Tabula Rasa kissing!!! The look of love from Showtime. The hand holding scene from Potential. The flaming hands from Chosen!


2. Clark/Lex I adore fic with those two. Plus they're so pretty and sexy, they just fit. Clark as the wide-eyed innocent who helps Lex get in touch with his feelings. Lex as the poor little rich poor who's all sophisticated, and introduces Clark to the wonders of sex with Lex. The way they'll always be a part of one anothers lifes, whether through love or hate.

Shipped them since the kiss on the bank of the river ;)


3. Beecher/Keller Because if you're going to write prison porn, that's the way to do it. The scene where Keller handcuffs Beecher and says he just wants Beecher to love him again. And Beecher's shaking and thinking Keller wants to kill him. The first time they wrestle together. The New Years kiss when they just wrap their arms around one another. I guess the kiss in the laundry room and the first, "I love you" is what hooked me. Especially when Beecher is just stood there absolutely stunned, with his mouth open, while Keller is beating up all the guards. Something about the contrast there *g* The New Years Kiss is my very favourite though.


4. Michael/Nikita They are the reason I can't get into the Alias ship with Sydney/Vaguan. All the times Michael and Nikita pulled guns on one another (shut up, you know it was hot!). Michael gradually becoming less sociopathic over the years, until he can finally admit his feelings and says he can't live without Nikita. Season 4 ending with Nikita saying she never loved him, and Michael is too well Michael to cry, so he cuts under his eye, and there's the blood tear. And I haven't seen the final season 5 yet, but I have heard about the scene where they stare at one another across the room. "I lied". "I know". Squeee! I shipped them from when they were forced by that guy to have sex, and Nikita starts dancing with the hat on.

And okay we all know Michael's confession to Nikita in the cage was a manipulation. But there was truth behind it, you know it! Borrowing this quote from, svmadelyn

"I thought I was going to break, but I didn't. I thought of you. You're the only one of us who still has a soul. I'm sorry, Nikita. We'll never leave this place alive. *pause* I don't know what love is anymore. But the only part of me that's not dead is you."


5. Doctor/Rose It's all about the handporn. Oh and the Doctor putting Rose before the entire world in World War Three, and that long stare *dies* I also like the way Rose says, "My Doctor" The DW magazine has a great article on the Doctor, and how Rose was just what he needed to get back in touch with the world. They're just so happy together, running to explore the world hand-in- hand, with massive grins on their faces. And well there's that kiss.


Why do most of my ships have such sad endings...

I could totally ship Rose/Nine, if I wasn't so set in the fact that the doctor shouldn't have a love interest... I resist due to that but I ADORE them together... yes, handporn. Ha!

Aw, lovely! Fool For Love is probably my favourite episode of any show ever. It's rare to get more than you ask for, and when he comes through the shrubbery and doesn't just walk off out of sympathy but actually tries to pat her back... wah. Also the alley fight scene is the most beautiful, subtle, mixed-messages sex/death/love/pain subtext pudding for both of them. Every line means about three things.

Clark/Lex: cute, but only with a fanon Clark. He's too big a bitch otherwise.

Beecher/Keller Because if you're going to write prison porn, that's the way to do it.

Totally. I can't even explain it to people who haven't seen it, because the way they mess with each other and the fact that one's a bit psycho and the other's mostly straight makes it sound like a really fake pairing but "Even God wouldn't have the balls to keep us apart".

I'm still unsure of Doctor/Rose because Rose is written a tiny bit too 'perfect' and so it's too inevitable that he'd be saved by the Goddess of Light (and that was *before* POTW). I did love the 'My Doctor' bit and the bantering, but it was much more of a dinghy than a ship for me. I'd love to see Jack secretly break his heart over the Doctor, though [/angst fetish]

Man do I love Beecher and Keller together. I loved the dynamic of their relationship, the passion, how it managed to be both brutal and, at times, very sweet. I especially liked the love triangle with Ronnie. 3 hot guys? Yes please. Plus it brought Beecher and Keller back together in a nice way.

I'm stealing this meme, by the way :-D

OH MY GOD. That right there is the sole reason I need to be rich. Cuz I seriously would kill for those DVD's. But I am poor and cannot afford them.

I've said from the very beginning that as much as I like Alias, it's a poor man's LFN.

Plus? Vaughn just cannot do the leather like Michael.

The laundry room kiss is what did it for me Beecher/Keller wise. My roomie is really into Prison Break and I can't stand it because its just a cheap OZ rip-off. Everytime one of the other guys messes up their plans, I ask her why they don't just kill him a la OZ and she gives me the strangest looks :P

But the only part of me that's not dead is you. That line fucking killed me.

Spuffy is the BTVS ship that matters, Nikita/Michael was cool (as for Sid/Vaughan, the less said the better -barf), Doctor/Rose worked real well, Beecher/Keller was... scary and Clarke doesn't deserve Lex.
