Fannish not-Friday Five

5 characters or couples you wish could have gotten a happy/happier ending.1) Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, most X-Men canons -- given the fluidity of comic book canon/alternate timelines/etc., it seems just possible those crazy kids might work it out eventually, at least in some dimension or another, but by then they will have done their time

I may have imprinted strongly on princess/ruffian relationships circa 1977

I kinda flippin' love you.

Or, you know, your choice of things to write.

off to read*

Imprinted VERY strongly. I could also go for princes/lady ruffians, but those are tragically in shorter supply.

I speculated not too long ago what would have been if it had been Prince Luke of the House of Organa and Leia, the farm girl who had the Big Destiny ahead of her.

It wouldn't take much to convince me of a Prince Han and the Mercenary Leia Organa as an alt to that AU. LOL

The Tangled fic was what I've come to expect from your fic, touching and based on reality rather than wishes. It makes so much sense that Eugene would gravitate towards his chosen profession, his fears for Rapunzel, and her parents incredible love for their daughter vs. Eugene's sense of practicality about Rapunzel's role in life. Very sublime and I love your Eugene voice very much, it was true to the character.

So so happy you enjoyed the story! It was a hoot to write. :D

Same here.

"Who's scruffy-lookin'?"

EDIT: Back. Oh, that was precious. (I'm tearing up right now.) Especially, I think, Victor (and Phillipa). And the honest calling that Eugene finds. And the bit about being married to someone smarter than you. :)

Aw, thank you! Eugene's eventual job seemed like a good marriage of experience and disposition. And he's so good with little kids. :D

Victor and Philippa definitely lived happily ever after too.
