pairings meme
A fun pairings meme, grabbed from stunt_muppet.Comment with a pairing that I ship and I'll tell you:
1. When I started shipping them
2. What I think their challenge is
3. What makes me happy about them
4. What makes me sad about them
5. What moment I wish had never happened
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
7. My happily ever after for them
And just in case you haven't memorized my shipping preferences, below the cut is a (necessarily incomplete) list of my ships. You're not limited to asking about the ones on the list, although obviously it helps if it is actually a pairing I ship. Questions about my newer fandoms (e.g. Discworld, Hornblower) are especially welcome.

Yes, there are all male/male slash, apart from the possible inclusion of Jean Gray with Scott/Logan. There are f/f and het pairings I like (generally but not always canonical ones) but I wouldn't say I ship any of them in the way I ship what I've listed.
