Frank/Dwayne

1. When I started shipping them While I was watching the movie, I think, lol!
2. What I think their challenge is Umm, being uncle and nephew, I'd guess, and the age difference. XD I feel like neither of those things would bother Dwayne THAT much, but Frank would have suuuuch a hard time with it and it would cause serious issues for them because of that.
3. What makes me happy about them Idk, their shared dysfunction? I think they have this connection that like...Dwayne doesn't seem to have with anyone else, and I love that. They're not happy people, but they make each other happy. And that makes me happy. *dork*
4. What makes me sad about them Frank's depression, I guess. The way he'd totally beat himself up if he developed feelings for Dwayne.
5. What moment I wish had never happened I don't think there are any! I like all their moments together in the film. Obviously it'd be nice for Dwayne not to be colourblind, but I like the angst that adds, haha.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other Hmm ( ... )

Cook/Freddie

1. When I started shipping them According to my LJ, after 3x02. When they were in the shed and Cook said "I fucking love you" to Freddie.
2. What I think their challenge is Effy? Um. Probably trying to figure out what their actual feelings ARE, like, trying to sort out the romantic/sexual feelings from the friendship ones. Their relationship is so complicated.
3. What makes me happy about them How much they love each other in spite of everything. They always stick by each other, you know?
4. What makes me sad about them The fact that they can never seem to figure out how they feel about each other, lol. The strain Effy puts on their friendship.
5. What moment I wish had never happened Hmm, you know, I'm not sure. I feel like everything that's happened between them has happened for a reason. This is stupid, but maybe that bit in Cook's 'unseen' where Freddie wrote him the note that said something like 'brothers til the end', because I don't think they think of each other as brothers AT ALL. Lol.
6. Who I'd be comfortable ( ... )

Yes!! Like sometimes I just wonder why the hell you'd stay friends after the shit they've been through. But they just love each other so much it doesn't even matter.

I KNOW RIGHT. Every bit about it was perfect except for that. I choose to see it as Freddie being in denial of what his ~real feelings~ are, so he's like, trying to see Cook as a brother. And probably failing miserably.

Right, Harry/Ron!

1. When I started shipping them I don't actually remember! I think I always did subconsciously, 'cause I'm a sucker for best friend pairings. XD
2. What I think their challenge is Hmm. Probably just Hermione and Ginny. Lol, I say 'just', that'd actually be a pretty difficult challenge to overcome.
3. What makes me happy about them I don't know, I guess it's just that simple best friends love. They stick by each other and do things they don't really want to do for each other. As soppy as it sounds, they make each other better people?
4. What makes me sad about them I'm not really sure. I guess the way they just don't seem to be on the ( ... )

EDMUND/PETER

1. When I started shipping them During the first movie because I'm a terrible person. I still remember writing in my diary that I saw Narnia and that it reaaally wasn't good for a shipper's mind, haha.
2. What I think their challenge is Being gay incestuous brothers in 1940s Britain!
3. What makes me happy about them Ooh, that's actually kind of hard because they're not the happiest pairing. But their angst makes me happy. I guess I like how they look after each other, and how they try to pretend they don't care about each other as much as they do, but it always comes through. ♥
4. What makes me sad about them Lol, the fact that they try to pretend not to care about each other as much as they do. It's kind of a double-edged sword, that one.
5. What moment I wish had never happened Peter not being allowed back to Narnia, because then he'd be in Dawn Treader? Lol I don't know.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other Gahhh nobody. D:
7. My happily ever after for them I actually don't know auugh. ( ... )

LOL FOREVER.

it totally is a double-edged sword. why do we love it when they hurt, jen? WHY.

WHO CARES IF IT IS UNREALISTIC; IT IS ESSENTIAL TO MY WELL BEING. AND THEIRS.

will needs to sleep with ben if he's not going to be with skandar, what with ben being a huge manwhore and all. I BET WILL WENT TO SEE DORIAN GREY AND TOTALLY WANTED TO TAP THAT ASS.

1. When I started shipping them When I met youuu. I actually don't remember the exact moment. Probably when you were making those entries with the magazine quotes. And I was like WELL THESE TWO ARE CLEARLY DOING IT
2. What I think their challenge is Uh, what ISN'T their challenge?
3. What makes me happy about them Their ridiculously intense love. Caleb's totally adorable, delusional, romantic, ridiculous vision of them living together forever. The way absolutely everything just slots into place so perfectly and believably. The fact that we have a pretty good case to put forward if anyone ever tried to argue their relationship is platonic. XD
4. What makes me sad about them God, everything else. The angst kills me. I guess, most of all, it's the way Nate pulls away because he's been brought up to look after Caleb and it's the Right Thing To Do and he believes it's what's best for them. And he doesn't realise that Caleb's never been happier than when they're together. I think it's the way they hurt each other while trying to help ( ... )

Does Will/Skandar/Anna count as a pairing? It's the first that came to my mind because I love "The Night Starts Here" (it's not the only fic of yours that I love, but it's probably my favorite).

It totally does!! ♥ Thank you. I've been working on the next part a bit lately!

1. When I started shipping them Lol, it was so random, I was just wondering one day if anyone had written them as a threesome, and then all of a sudden I REALLY wanted to see that. And I started shipping it like crazy.
2. What I think their challenge is Issues with trust and jealousy. I think it would be hard for them to accept anyone going off in twos, but it'd also be hard to only ever be a threesome, you know? Also, just defining the relationship in general and explaining it to people.
3. What makes me happy about them Oh god, everything! It's one of the pairings I've found the most fun to write, honestly. I love their dynamic and the way they bounce off each other and that sort of thing. I LOVE writing comfortable, happy, silly sex, so that's pretty much my favourite thing about them, haha.
4. What makes me sad about them The pairing off, I guess. That's hard sometimes.
5. What moment I wish had never happened Well, nothing irl. In my fic, I regret ( ... )

It IS ridiculous! It's not even like I really shipped it from the beginning, I was just curious about what it'd be like, and now it's like...total OT3.

Still working on it! It's hard because it's been so long and I've lost track of the storyline a little bit, but I'm determined not to give up, even if everyone's forgotten about it by now. XD
