"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

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. ;)

PS- If you ever get a chance, watch Season 2 of Alias. Just that season mind, that's the Season of Irina Derevko, thus it's the most awesome thing on the face of the earth. She THE uber-badass of tv. Also retina-meltingly hot.[ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Foxielicious77/Lena%20Olin%20and%20Irina%20Derevko/TheEnemyWalksInHandgun.jpg ]

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.
