Haha, you got here first. :)

1. When or if I started shipping them: I don't even know; some time after watching "The Cage" (July 2009) and definitely after having read taraljc's post-Cage story, but I can't pin it down much more after that.
2. What I think their challenge is: Haha. Their personalities.
3. What makes me happy about them: I usually write the AOS version, so first, it makes me happy to put Number One into the AOS-verse. Also, I think they fit together well; she's more than strong enough to handle him, and he's possibly smart enough for her.
4. What makes me sad about them: Their timeline is so epically fucked. And doomed, in TOS-land.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: Uh, well, this one is obvious. Delta radiation, anyone?
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Well, I'm OK with them ending up in a threesome with Kirk or Cait, and I guess I'm OK with either of them ending up with either of the above (that is, Pike/Kirk or One/Cait), although I'm a little suspicious of Pike/Kirk until Kirk has had a little bit more seasoning. I'll read various other pairings (Pike/Boyce comes to mind), of course.
7. My happily ever after for them: In AOS-land, they retire to the desert after One has definitely had her fill flying around a ship. In TOS-land . . . the delta radiation never happened, and they retire to the desert after One has had her fill flying around a ship. :)

I too like Pike/One/Cait. :)

Hello my headcanon aka "The Menagerie" never happened and they live happily well-therapized ever after.
