getting back into the swing of things.
I) So this has been true for a while now, but I have a tumblr! It's called puelhathnofury because that's precisely the kind of dork I am. I'm mostly using it to stalk artists and reblog cool things about women's history now, but I'm starting to figure out how to actually interact with people on it. If you'd like to help me out with that, check me

1. What they most commonly do during sex (if they are the sexing type)
Punch each other. In the face.
...okay, they grow past that point, but there's a lot of wrestling and tussling when they have sex, ranging from "playful" to "christ you're a dick sometimes."
2. Who has prettier (or just more attractive) hair
Barnaby, and he intends to keep it that way.
3. What they argue about most often
Everything. Well, at first. As they become closer, they primarily argue about trust, and how much trust they are or aren't placing in each other (as canon shows us). I suspect they occasionally have spectacularly dumb arguments, though. Like who'd win in a fight between Spider-man and Wolverine, or whatever the in-universe equivalent of that is.
4. Who'd cope best if the other one died
Kotetsu. He'd mourn, certainly, but Barnaby is vengeance-minded and wouldn't settle until he found whoever was responsible for Kotetsu's death and brought them to justice.
5. The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them
Barnaby and Kotetsu fight, but over the course of their fight Kotetsu points out inconsistencies in Barnaby's fake memories and he gets his real ones back. They team up and take down Maverick. Afterward, Kotetsu reveals his true identity to Kaede, takes her to Stern Bild to live with him and Barnaby, and officially retires. He and Barnaby teach Kaede how to use her powers, and eventually she becomes Barnaby's Robin sidekick, and Kotetsu and Barnaby never officially admit to being boyfriends but they live together and it's obvious to anyone with more than a few brain cells to rub together.
6. The most tragic possible ending for them
Barnaby catches up with Kotetsu, and doesn't regain his true memories. They fight, with Kotetsu holding back considerably. Eventually Kotetsu's Hundred Power runs out, and Barnaby hits a little too hard and ends up delivering a fatal blow. On live television. Even Maverick can't salvage that PR disaster, and Barnaby retires in disgrace.
...I can't decide whether it's more tragic for Barnaby to remember the truth after that, or for him to never recall who Kotetsu really was. Fortunately I doubt canon is headed in that direction, because waaaaugh. ;_;
7. What I enjoy most about their dynamic
Initially, the clash of their personalities and the resultant bickering and the ways they were forced to deal with that in order to be a more effective hero team. But once they actually head down the road to true partnership, I love how they're always there for each other, even when they're complaining about it or denying it. Their relationship really has an arc, and I love watching it develop.
8. What I find difficult to write about them
Finding things to say that the canon doesn't, because I find myself so satisfied by their dynamic in the show that I don't know what to add. Other than porn. And that scene in Episode 9 where they totally slept together, because you can't tell me that didn't happen.
