1. When or if I started shipping them: Oh, man, a million years ago, once I realized that there was this thing called always-a-girl-gender/sex-bending. And I'm really fascinated with swapping out grumpy male characters, and how exactly that plays out with the whole gender binary (grumpy men = amusing, grumpy women = bitchy). I have more Thoughts on this but they'll get too lengthy for a comment box.
2. What I think their challenge is: You know, I think it's possible that f!McCoy actually has more issues surrounding fences around her heart than m!McCoy. So that. Also, again, the fact that it's likely that m!McCoy can get away with saying things that f!McCoy can't.
3. What makes me happy about them: Strong women always make me happy! And the idea of the surgeon saving Pike's life/spine being a woman makes circ_bamboo the feminist awfully happy.
4. What makes me sad about them: Well, that Leah/Elinor McCoy would make her own life miserable pretty easily.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: ... I don't think I have any.
6. Who I'd be
