Eureka

Dammit! I've gone and fallen in love with a new pairing. Thank you, Eureka. The show itself is amusing at best, though the second season is better than the first, but I'm sunk. Other than Jo. Jo, I love.

Anyone hazard a guess?

Oh, yes. It has to be the scientist and the officer of the law. Nathan Stark and Jack Carter. Next in a line of many of that similar scientist/soldier or brains/brawn pairing. Although the brawns usually have brains, too, just not the genius engineering/physics type. More the strategy, common sense, "could have been in Mensa" type. (See what I did there?)

I do so have a type.

I swear, I didn't want to! At first, Carter and Allison were cute with their "not a thing" thing. And Allison is a wonderful female character. But then the competing for her began and then it turned into just general banter and bickering and a muttered "Mr and Mrs Macarena", and whoop! All I need is for someone to shoot someone in the leg and it's back to McShep I go with all my feelings. I kind of like Allison/Carter/Stark because it's weird to have the ex-husband hook up with the suitor without something happening in between, but at least in S2, the chemistry between Carter and Allison has died down. But I do like both Nathan and Jack caring about Allison (generally) and her son.

So now, I have all these plot bunnies for crossovers where Nathan Stark is either Tony Stark's brother or his clone (Nathan Stark actually deliberately having been based off Tony Stark). Though I have no time to write them, of course. And I'm going through AO3 for all the fic (PS: any recs? I'd love them!). And Nathan Stark is my new favorite. (I seriously need to watch GOT and find out if Stark is just my favorite name or something.)

I mentioned I have a type, right?
