my ships are capsized by reality
gacked from lizbee:
One True Pairing 'Ship: Sark/Sydney. The reason I'm on LJ. Rather unusually out of all my ships, both characters are at least still alive, and character assassination can be reversed, yo.
Canon 'Ship: Lucifer/Mazikeen. Both are well and alive, but the future of this one is...not rosy. He left her behind, hopped creation itself once and for all, and flew into the void. She attacked him with her sword and left a bloody wound. But while they were together (all those millenia), how they burned.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a fork" 'Ship: Peter/Claire. Sometimes subtext is more than sufficient and canonisation just becomes overkill. See also: House/Wilson.
"You are one sick bastard" 'Ship: Kara Thrace and Leoben Conoy. Creepy, twisted, stalkerish, and kinda incestuous to boot, although not everyone might see that last one. In the end, it comes down to two very beautiful people with an insane amount of chemistry, trying to fuck each other up. Oh yeah, and there's the Destiny... *jangly electric guitar of prophesy* You know something is heading to a boil.
"I dabble a little" 'Ship: Thomas Tallis and William Compton on The Tudors. I clearly have a knack for picking the ones that end badly. But at least they never a) tried to kill one another, or b) succeeded. They had too little time together for it to be a full blown affair, but you can't help wondering about all the things that were left unsaid.
"It's like a car crash" 'Ship: The State Within's Nicholas Brocklehurst and Christopher Styles. Treason, murder, international espionage, manipulative parental figures - and a compromised sort of loyalty to one another, nevertheless - it's got all the angst of Sarkney multiplied tenfold (and NO VAUGHAN). Plus, nobody ever committed suicide on Alias.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" 'Ship: Jason Bourne/Nicky Parsons. I'm not over Marie yet, I may never be, but this has all the ingredients of a potential regular 'ship. The lone-ships-passing-in-the-night quality which I love about Sark and Sydney. The desperate pull towards humanity in the midst of inhumanity and bureaucracy.
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" 'Ship: Tigh/Caprica Six. This just occurred to me, and wow, my face is burning.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" 'Ship: Pilots!sex aka Kara/Lee. Whine, whine, whine. That's all they ever do together (or separately).
"When all is said and done" 'Ship: Sirius and Remus, especially as orange_crushed writes them.

This seems to be circulating around the f-list again, so I thought I'd might as well:
Name a character (from any of my fandoms or fic-specific 'verse) and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.
