9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
Ugh... I'm just going to do the big ones, and do canon then OC pairings. lol
X-Men - canon, my favorite pairings (though I haven't posted much...) are probably Emma/Scott (haters to the left, I don't even care!), Piotr/Kitty (because they're so damn cute and occasionally I have to write adorable stuff!) and though I haven't posted it yet but it is coming Scott/Warren because... yummy rival ship! LOL
For the OCs... I'm really fond of Dru/Warren in the Sueniverse. There's a lot of drama and it's very when it's good its good but when it's bad it's horrible! And that's fun to write. Also, I love love love my new sue, Thea and her target. So wrong it's right! LOL Lastly... I think for a pure X-pairing, I'd have to go with Haley/Scott. Yes you read that right. Of course I mean the No Man's Land verse that ladydeathfaerie is doing but I've dipped my toes in that pool and I really like playing with their dynamic. >:D
Fantastic Four - Easy stuff here. Johnny/Peter will always win out. They just clash so well! lol It's the ultimate case of pigtail pulling and throwing mud at each other to show affection. lol After that, Johnny/Lyja because I do tend to need some serious drama in my canon ships or the world will cave in. I love that no matter how weird and horrible they are with each other they keep trying because they KNOW there's something there. After that... well, umm... Fantastic Foursome? Seriously, I love it when someone can make that work and I keep trying and eventually I'll get there. LOL
for the OCs... Johnny/Haley. Seriously. I can't turn away from them. They just... complete each other. It's not some great love story or anything but they work so well together despite their own flaws and some unfortunate turns. I just love 'em. lol I liked Lia/Johnny in that AU too... but again DRAMA! And I think the No Man's Land version of Dare/Johnny is going to be fun to play with too.
Avengers - Clint/everyone. No, really. LOL But I'm particularly fond of him with Hank. I can't even put my finger on why. I can put my finger on why I love Clint/Steve. Power dynamics, rival ship, it's a tasty treat! lol And I do love the idea of the two of them exploring other aspects of sexuality (BDSM particularly) together. I will go back to that eventually. Also rather fond of Clint/Pietro because omg boys. Behave! LOL Snark snarkity snark snark snark. It's so much fun to write!
For OCs, Lia/Clint is the big one. As someone else put it, that's a great love and even when things aren't going perfectly you can feel it... or at least I can. lol Genesis and Steve are great fun too just because they really shouldn't work. They're so different and their outlooks are so different but somehow they compliment each other. I think the triad of Kiera/Clint/Johnny is also far too much fun to play with and negotiate. Three strong personalities there and while things get explosive occasionally, it's always interesting. :)
Harry Potter - The only "canon" pairing I've written is Oliver/Cedric and I do enjoy it. I should dip my toes into Oliver/Percy too because I do enjoy the hell out of that ship but... as I don't write a whole lot of HP fic, it has yet to happen. lol
The OCs... I'm not going to pick between the MSV girls. lol Safe to say, their pairings are the top of the list for me. LOL
