Stolen from Lanna_Kitty:

"Name your 15 absolute favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms."

Okay, no way am I going to manage 15 different fandoms, but I can do several. Have fun picking apart how twisted favoring some of these makes me. There are actually

Lol, okay, I'll go for the obvious:
Harry/Murphy + Booth/Brennan + Castle/Beckett= you like the male/female partners in crime-type shows.

And it's a plus if one of the partners was previously from a sci-fi show? Booth- Angel, Castle- Firefly. Harry's a wizard [lol] so that's enough.

Nice meme, might have to snurch it from you!

snurch away :)

Actually the "fellow crime solver" thing hadn't even occured to me. I saw six common threads running through many of these ship but that honestly wasn't one of them. Although, looking back over them, maybe I do need to add a 7th theme because "righting wrongs together" definitely applies to many of them as well as the others I saw.

For the record, hated Angel and hadn't realized until you mentioned it that Castle was Mal *is pitiful like that*

Well, I feel proud at seeing something you'd missed! Go, me...!

Lol, I gave Angel a go after falling for Booth in Bones [*snort* the euphemism was unintentional, lol] but yeah, not my cup of tea. And OMG, everyone on my flist kept squeeing about how they were in love with Castle because of Mal- and you didn't know?! *g* I feel better about some of the blanks in my knowledge now... *squishes*

*hug* Caught some eps of Firefly and it was cute and all, but I really love Nathion Filion in Castle. I think it's the fact that he not only cares about Beckett enough to put their relationship on the line like he did to try to help her, but it's REALLY nice to see a well-adjusted, independent adult character on TV who has a strong, loving relationship with both his child AND his parent

Angel, honestly, always struck me as a rather pervy guy, courtesy of the whole "i'm over 200 yet willing to fuck an underaged female" thing, so he was hard to be enthusiastic about even before you factor in the fact that "reluctant vampire" has honestly been done to death

let me know if you want my actual justifications, because i know I was surprised by all the commonalities

and, definitely, good for you, catching something i missed :) guess self-examination only goes so far, lol
