Shipping Meme: Day 5
Day 5: A crossover pairing you think would work
Don't know about a full-fledged ship, but I've long thought Hermione Granger would have a total crush on Jean-Luc Picard. Her thing for older men is canon (see: Lockhart and Krum), and an older man who never stops thirsting after books or knowledge, and who - through his ability to literally travel the stars - has endless opportunities to learn? Oh yeah. Her brain would definitely be piqued by this Frenchman-with-a-British-accent mystery, too. (I guess I could see her crushing on the Doctor from Doctor Who, also, for many of those same reasons. Great, now I'm wondering if anyone has ever done Hermione-as-companion fic.)
My unconscious brain also seems to keep trying to push Katniss Everdeen and Anakin Skywalker together: not as a couple, per se, though we know Anakin certainly has a thing for strong brunettes, especially those who know how to take care of themselves in a deadly battle. (Like Gale and Katniss, I think Anakin's and Katniss's temperaments are too similar in the wrong ways to be a lasting couple, though I think they could at least come to respect each other.) Those of you on FB may remember my post about my dream where Anakin was a total Katniss groupie. Well, I had another dream not long ago where Katniss was thrown through time and space into the Star Wars galaxy during the Clone Wars, and met Anakin and Ahsoka. Maybe it's time to explore this via crack!fic.
Full-fledged crossover ship... Maybe Luke Skywalker/Luna Lovegood? They're both dreamers and optimists - Luke just enough so that he could appreciate her worldview, while at the same time able to keep at least one foot on the ground. Luna would be like a kid in a candy store meeting all the new species/critters in Luke's galaxy, not to mention she would hardly be off-put at the notion of meeting someone from another galaxy, period. (I sure like the idea of her and Luke better than her with some random non-book character, and Luke with that redheaded... person, anyway.)
