I love Lavi <3 Not seen the anime yet, I've been reading the mannga the last couple of years and am up to ch 149 as that's all that's been published in the UK ¬_¬ 3 month gaps between volumes :(

I like his ideas for teasing Krory, I think I would have gone with trying to put things up his nose :D And agree that he will be a rubbish Bookman, he's definitely too cuddly!

[bob_fish]

I love Lavi too! Who doesn't love Lavi? Frankly, I don't trust people who don't love Lavi.

I think things up his nose is probably the best one too, but Krory is pretty badass by this point in the manga when his blood's up (so to speak), so it might not be an entirely sensible idea.

[became_fire]

This is true, but I think Lavi would manage to charm his way out of Krory's bad books pretty quick. Everyone does love him after all as you said, and if they don't then they're clearly akuma and dead inside.

[bob_fish]

Hee, probably so, and Krory is pretty easy to get around with cunning. I think Lavi's a bit nervous of the whole neck thing, though.

Love for the Allen/Lavi icon. I can't quite decide who to ship Lavi with. He's like ketchup, he kind of goes with everything. XD

[became_fire]

He really does XD Allen tends to get shipped with Kanda a lot more (I'm not such a fan personally) but Lavi gets shared around quite a lot - I've seen him paired with everyone from Lenalee and Kanda to Miranda and Komui.

I was trying to persuade one of my friends that Kanda and Jerry would make a great pair, I was even going to attempt to write something for the pairing at one point. Maybe as we are semi snowed in it's a good time to ressurect this idea XD

[bob_fish]

Ha, amusingly enough, my buddy enemytosleep got into D. Gray-Man entirely via a filthy piece of Kanda/Allen fanart by jojo_kun posted on her comm art_up_lies. Then she later sent the same piece of filth to me to get me into D. Gray-Man, and it worked. Imagine our surprise when it was not actually yaoi porn. XD

You can imagine why I went straight to the Kanda/Allen, but I'm more amused now by Kanda/Lavi. I'm agnostic about Kanda/Jerry but maybe you should persuade us all by writing fic on a snow day?

[became_fire]

I got my friend into D.Gray-Man purely by spamming her with pictures of Lavi :D

As for the Kanda/Jerry, it came about when we were trying to think up the most stupid pairings - Johnny & Krory, Rouvelier & 65 etc. Considering some of the ridiculous reasons people make up to pair characters together, I decided there's no reaon why they can't be together either. It would be total crack if I did write it, I'll see what I can do...

[enemytosleep]

He does love Jerry's cooking (and remember the omake where Jerry dresses him and the others up in frilly aprons and forces them to work in the kitchen?).

[bob_fish]

I just read that one and was super-amused at him and Komui becoming instant girly bff! And Krory was in for asking him if he was gay. Oh, Krory, you really have spent your life under a rock.
