You Drive A Normal Car, And It's Not On Fire.
Congratulations and hugs as appropriate to all receiving their A Level results today! (My brother is going to Oxford! I am so proud of him and only mildly envious.)
I would like to propose a meme!
- Write a list of characters and number them.
- Input the number of characters into this random number generator as the maximum and generate two numbers.
- Ramble about how the corresponding pairing/partnership would (or, indeed, wouldn't) work. Perhaps write a snippet/one-sentence fic for it if you're feeling brave.
- Repeat to your heart's content.
5/42: Ash Ketchum (Pokémon)/Sherlock Holmes
Oh, dear, I'm regretting this already. Um. Well, Ash has found himself in a world devoid of Pokémon, rather to his bewilderment. Asking around for help, he learns that a Mr Holmes of 221B Baker Street may be able to help you with your predicament, you strangely-attired young man.
Watson is fascinated by Ash's Pikachu (not a euphemism): 'But this is extraordinary, Holmes!' I cannot quite decide what Holmes' response to it would be, however. And, er, I really don't think I can pair them up.
That was a bit of a failure, wasn't it? Let's try again.
10/39: Dean Winchester (Supernatural)/Sam Tyler (Life on Mars)
My name is Dean Winchester. I got hit by an angel and I woke up in 1973.
My first thought was 'but how would they meet?', and then I remembered that 'In the Beginning' makes Supernatural/Life on Mars crossovers almost pathetically easy. Why Dean would be in 1973 Manchester or Tyler in 1973 Kansas I'm not sure, but I'm sure it's possible to work something out. Let's say Tyler is in Kansas, because I have trouble imagining Dean Winchester anywhere outside America. They meet up, they discover their remarkably similar situations (perhaps one absent-mindedly makes a reference to something modern and the other picks up on it), and then they team up to find a way back to the present.
And it's awesome.
Tyler sort of reminds Dean of his brother. Every so often, Dean unthinkingly calls him Sam, checks himself, remembers that Tyler is called Sam and becomes very confused.
38/19: Sam Winchester (Supernatural)/Iroh (Avatar)
"All the wanderers come to Ba Sing Se," Iroh explained, pouring another cup of tea. "I am sure you will find your brother there."
"Thank you," Sam said. "You don't have to - " and then there was a loud explosion, and the ship rocked. Sam was on his feet in a second. "What was that?"
There was a furious bellow from the deck.
"My nephew is unhappy," Iroh observed. "The Avatar has probably paid us a visit."
Smoke was coming through the open door, light at first and then thicker, and Sam suddenly realised the ship was sinking.
"I think," Iroh said, "our journey to Ba Sing Se may be somewhat delayed."
44/30: Sora (Kingdom Hearts)/Morgana (Merlin)
In an entirely unromantic way, this could work! Sora is a child with a huge amount of responsibility on his shoulders, and I think Morgana would be drawn to that and want to protect him. Sora would sort of resent that, because, come on, he's saved the universe twice, he can take care of himself. He would generally like Morgana, though. (Also, he would develop an adorable friendship with Merlin.)
BUT THEN, OH NO, ARTHUR IS ALMOST KILLED.
'DON'T WORRY, I CAN HELP,' SORA SAYS, AND HE CASTS CURAGA.
UTHER IS DISPLEASED.
Sora is locked in the dungeons, but of course a dungeon cannot hold the Keyblade master. He breaks out just as Morgana is on her way to break him out herself, and then they go on the run together. Yes!
21/27: James May (Top Gear)/the Master (John Simm incarnation, Doctor Who)
Oh, dear, that's not going to end well. Presumably Harold Saxon appears on Top Gear as the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car during his Prime Ministerial campaign. He is very charming, sets the best lap time by several seconds, and then hypnotises and has sex with everyone in the studio. This is displayed uncut on Sunday's episode of Top Gear. Nobody who watches notices anything odd about it, and they all come away thinking that Harold Saxon is indisputably the man to lead the country.
44/41: Sora (Kingdom Hearts)/Sharpay Evans (High School Musical)
SHARPAY EVANS IS FROM A DISNEY FILM. IT IS NOT IMPLAUSIBLE THAT THEY SHOULD MEET. Sharpay tries to seduce Sora! Sora is alarmed!
Hmmm. The problem with High School Musical as a Kingdom Hearts world: when a film has a clearly-defined villain, Sora usually fights that villain, but I can't really see Sora beating a self-absorbed-but-not-really-evil teenage girl to death with his Keyblade. I suppose it would have to be a rhythm action level, along the lines of (oh, dear) Atlantica. SORA AND SHARPAY HAVE A DANCE-OFF. IT IS FABULOUS.
29/38: Misha Collins (Supernatural RPF)/Sam Winchester
Oh, you know that, were Misha Collins to fall into the Supernatural universe, he would have sex with Sam just for the sake of Jared's face when he tells him about it later.
That was rather fun! Perhaps I'll try it again at some point; it seems a waste to consider only seven partnerships when I made a list of, erm, fifty characters (possibly slightly overboard?). Feel free to steal the idea if you would like to!
