Pairing Meme - Last chance to guess!
Okay, before I give the answers, here are the last few, as yet unguessed. All but 3 are from US shows. (Flist, I do like some mainstream things, too! :lol:)
2 are from a show to which I am a relatively recent convert; 1 is very difficult, and came via the BBC Shakespeare (I forgot I only flailed in comments to 2 people). There is 1 DW and 1 B7 left, both of which are ships I have written. All of them are quotes/paraphrases of lines they said to each other. That's all.
1 of them is so obvious (if you switch the 'he/she' back to 'you' - and know the fandom, of course) I don't think I could give any other clue. 22 is a v famous pairing, but the quote I've used is completely misleading. (It's my favourite thing she ever said to him, though.) Actually, at least 3 of the quotes are misleading. (I'll try to be more reasonable if I do this again... My sense of humour always wins over my sense of romance.) There's 1 slash pairing, the rest are het. I've written fic for the pairings in 9, 12 & 13. For 16, I was tempted to use the description: "Traffic would not be an issue."
8. In future, she'll know where to go for mating advice.
9. He's no deb's delight.
12. She's after his lunch.
13. Imagination is their only limit.
15. He doesn't say these things to just anyone.
16. She's the girl he made fun of in elementary school.
18. Their whole relationship is the result of an alien experiment.
20. He's welcome.
22. She'd kiss him if he weren't so ugly.
But that was fun, thank you, and I'll defnitely play again sometime. (There were whole fandoms I missed out, and more reasonable quotes to use for the same pairings...)
