30days: Cougar & Jensen, The Losers
So since I started with my earliest fandom OTP, I might as well go to my newest one next. Cougar/Jensen from the movie The Losers. (Which is based off of the comic book series The Losers, itself loosely inspired by an earlier series.) It's kind of a black label version of The A-Team; basically, The Losers are a team of Special Forces soldiers who get burned by the CIA, and, after going underground, try to get revenge and regain their stolen lives. I enjoyed it quite a lot, though it's not the best action movie ever. (I was pretty much bored through all of the bad guy's scenes, basically, and there were times where the pacing could be tightened a lot. Other than that, I liked it a lot.) Most of you probably have heard of it because Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the lead, playing Colonel Clay, and Zoe Saldana plays opposite him (quite hotly) as Aisha. I personally went to see it because of those two (and the fact that I like action movies)--but my heart was stolen by Jensen and Cougar. (Pooch is also quite awesome, but married, and I'm not into him enough to split them up or go for threesomes.)
(Caps from the movie under the cuts, so consider this spoilery. Also the final cap is a scene from the fourth volume of the comics.)
Jensen (Corporal Jake Jensen, according to the comics) is played by Chris Evans.
Cougar (Sargent Carlos Alvarez) is played by Óscar Jaenada.
Jensen is the action geek (hacker extraordinaire) and Cougar is the team sniper. They are hot. Jensen basically talks a mile-a-minute and is adorable as all get out. Cougar is quiet and deadly and I really just want to lick his arms. There isn't actually a lot of support for this pairing in canon (movieverse, anyway--there's a little in the comics). The important thing is, though, that there's nothing standing in the way of putting these two together.
They hold conversations without words.
(Arguing about approaching Aisha.)
(Contemplating the 'plan'.)
They fail to fight over women.
They work side by side in trying conditions.
Hold each other together.
("Cougar, be gentle!")
Do family stuff together.
If that's not enough inspiration, well, here. Take a look at this little moment from Vol 25 of the comics.
"...ain't never felt more heterosexual in my whole life." Well, okay then, Jensen. ;)
Basically, I like these two because they make me flail, and make me flail even more together. And it works in fic. The general 'anything goes' fic comm on LJ is losers_fic; it's dominated by Cougar/Jensen, but there are other pairings as well as gen represented. There's also The Losers 2010 over on Dreamwidth. And if you're looking for good fic, I suggest you read everything by Storm Petrel.
Now please, go forth and fic for me. Thank you. :D
