"One can't be married AND in love. Not with the same person, I mean. It's not done!"

From fannish5:

What are your five favorite canonical romances? -
1. Lord Peter Wimsey & Harriet Vane (Dorothy L. Sayers)
2. Morticia & Gomez Addams (The Addams Family)
3. Irina Derevko & Jack Bristow (Alias)
4. Jed & Abbey Bartlet (TWW)
5. Evie Carnahan & Rick O'Connell (The Mummy)

And an earlier one from there, because I couldn't resist:

What five

On the first set: Man, I always adored Morticia & Gomez. They just loved each other so damned much and they were so hot. And I am growing to love Jed & Abbey quite a bit, too. I <3 me some Stockard.

On the second set: I haven't seen Alias, so I don't know those two options, but I am so in agreement with the other choices. Now you've got me wanting to write BSG/Firefly crossovers ...

[missfoxie]

Yup, Morticia & Gomez are the best married couple EVER. I love that they are sensual and so deeply and tenderly in love. And aww, Jed & Abbey are adorable. The way the talk and fight with each other is wonderful to watch, and their deep love is so palpable. So I am a total sucker for equality, banter and passion in my canon (and non-canon) relationships. :D

Well, Firefly can bring the fun that BSGverse is lacking. Would make a fabulous xover. jennyo has already written some BSG/Firefly pieces, actually. You should read them, especially the one that's a character piece on Roslin and River

[pocketwitch]

Okay, I'll definitely have to check out jennyo's BSG/Firefly stuff, because I always enjoy her stories; not sure how I've missed those.

I'm with you - that equality/banter/passion combination is absolutely irresistable. The friction of the bantering/bickering adds a sexiness that goes so beautifully with the tenderness.

Okay, y'all talk to me again when I'm finished TWW. I cannot watch everything at once!!

[missfoxie]

So I see 'The Fox' has been confirmed as my nickname. Fabulous. :D

Mmmmmmmm Spy!Mommy indeedy.

[missfoxie]

Yup, true. And unless you know what it was really referring to (if you've read my many rambles about clothes), it would always need an explanation.

Hehe, The Nun, The Witch and The Fox. Shiny. :D

[missfoxie]

That is EXACTLY what I told projectjulie once!! ;D

And she does look extremely predatory there. Such a playa. I do so love that the icon can mean both.
