DPP: The Recovery Ships (or shipping, post-pilots)

[winegums]

In my entire life in fandom, there is no fictional couple that captured my heart as entirely as pilots did, and absolutely none that came even close to the kind of ruin and devastation they inflicted.

I'm not sure if this is a true 'recovery ship' since it's not canon and doesn't ever look likely to be, but Sif and Loki in AO3 fanfic are spectacular - super-angsty, almost equally gender-convention-bending, EPIC and just plain hot.

(ok, that is my Tom Hiddleston problem talking but look at them!)

[lyrela]

You've said my thoughts exactly! Yesss...Loki and Sif make as gorgeous a couple as Kara and Lee. And those stories and tropes on AO3 are amazing!

[winegums]

if they were canon, I'd be so much warier, but they are not so I can just read everything there is and be completely swept away.

(that said, I would like a few more looks like the one in the gif to be exchanged between them in Thor 2. Hiddleston and Jaimie Alexander look ridiculously good together, even when he appears to be checking out her rack)

[workerbee73]

They do look really good together. We better get some freaking Looks. And shared space.

Exchanged words are also good.

And if they suddenly need to have an angsty makeout session, I guess we'll deal.

**shrugs**

Duuuude... I feel like you're calling me out. ;P

[winegums]

ahaha, well, between you and Bee, you really did get me thinking about the possibility of recovery ships at all, even if nothing will ever really match pilots, for me :)

(and I blame Bee for making me see Loki/Sif in that light in the first place, only they'll never happen so canon can't break my heart on that score and i can stay in ficland for good).

[workerbee73]

I'm to blame for Loki/Sif too???

What's next? Clint Eastwood's RNC speech? Slap bracelets? Milli Vanilli?

**cue mock outrage**

[winegums]

Well, one of those things is not like the others (clue: the one with Tom Hiddleston)! And they were a lovely hot summer distraction, I cannot lie about that.

(I really can't get enough of the fic about them. This is the second time in my life I've been brought on board a ship purely by fanon, but it's so so good)

[workerbee73]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

[anamarya]

No, nothing seems familiar in what she's saying. Nothing at all.

btw, great icon. and ohhh, so true.

[workerbee73]

That icon was foisted upon me by some lost soul who thought I was to blame for the myriad of assassins problems we see on LJ. I use it every once in a while to humor her. ;P

[anamarya]

I was to blame for the myriad of assassins problems we see on LJ

hehehe. What in the world would make somebody believe that?

[anamarya]

IDK, recovery ship? Hmmm, not really. I mean, I said this before - I tend to like at least one couple more than others in almost any series that I watch. YES, even in procedurals - color me crazy. But really shipping? Not so much

[workerbee73]

So, Avengers - I will not mention who is to blame for that because in some manner half of my flist is. But there is one person.... who will remain unnamed for now.... who is majorly responsible for it.

**nods**

I know, I know. It's a shame im_ridiculous had to drag us down with her. thrace_adama and aurora_0811 also deserve honorable mentions. I don't know how we got caught up in this madness. No idea at all.

[anamarya]

I don't know how we got caught up in this madness.

what makes is even stranger in my case is that I managed to avoid the whole Iron Man/Hulk/Thor thing for years. I just refused to go to cinema and watch the movies. And then this summer happened when instead of idk, plotting for my next paper I watched all the movies (including the whole Bourne series because... you know *sigh*), read fics and all of that.

p.s. you are using all these icons just to make me crazy... come on, admit it :)

[workerbee73]

Torture you?

[winegums]

I don't think there's really a recovery ship for me, either - even Sif/Loki, much as I love the idea, is a distraction more than anything else. There's no getting over pilots :(
