What 3 ships do you most associate me with?

I don't know if I could limit it to just three. I also don't know that these are your favourite ships, or just the posts I seem to pay most attention to when you talk about them.

So...

Black Widow and... Hawkeye in Avengers fanfic (not canon, because you feel that's better played ambiguously.) Or potentially with an un-mindfucked Bucky in the new CA.

Lizzie and Darcy in LBD, because I remember a lot of posts about that.

Up until recently I would have said Oliver and Felicity, or Regina Mills and Emma Swan, or even something from Teen Wolf, but for various reasons you seem to have gone off those.

So my last one is Amy and Jake á la B99, because you seem most hopeful about the future of the pairing.

If we're talking non-canon and maybe non-romantic, I'd probably include Carol Danvers and Jessica Drew.

I did this recently with another ljer, and a couple of the ships I mentioned where ships we both HATED. Nothing like hating something together!

Black Widow and... Hawkeye in Avengers fanfic (not canon, because you feel that's better played ambiguously.) Or potentially with an un-mindfucked Bucky in the new CA.

Yep, I am totally down with both of those options! And while I am nervous, I am very interested in seeing how Clint and Nat plays out in Avengers 2.

Up until recently I would have said Oliver and Felicity, or Regina Mills and Emma Swan, or even something from Teen Wolf, but for various reasons you seem to have gone off those.

I am DEFINITELY not feeling the Oliver/Felicity love, but I still really adore Stiles/Lydia from Teen Wolf.

So my last one is Amy and Jake á la B99, because you seem most hopeful about the future of the pairing.

I am! It's such a weird feeling to be hopeful about a ship! I'm not sure if I like it! I also have hope for Lydia/Stiles!

(I have a hard time limiting it to three. You are the primary source of lady-ships on my dash...)

1. Katara/Zuko, ATLA

2. Clint/Natasha, MCU

3. Emma/Regina, OUAT

I feel like I have been this for other people as well... And yeah, those are some of my top ships.
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 10:10 am (UTC)
Clint/Natasha, Stiles/Lydia, Caroline/Tyler
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 02:16 pm (UTC)
Yep, yep. Those are the ships. Although wow, I didn't realize we've been friends for long enough for you to remember that I shipped Caroline/Tyler!
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 12:00 pm (UTC)
Anya/Dmitri, Clint/Natasha, Lydia/Stiles...

*nods along*
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 04:27 pm (UTC)
I would say Clint/Natasha, Carol/Jessica, and Stephanie/Jason.
Friday, May 16th, 2014 05:46 am (UTC)
All pairings I love!
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 06:22 pm (UTC)
Clint/Kate (or Clint/Natasha)

Ladies/Awesomeness

Books/Awesomeness

;)

1. Natasha/Clint

2. Elizabeth/Darcy

3. Zuko/Katara
Saturday, April 5th, 2014 04:57 pm (UTC)
Yeah, those are some of my fave ships.
Sunday, April 6th, 2014 01:50 am (UTC)
M'gann/Connor, Zutara, and Clint/Natasha.

Kakashi/Sakura even though you're not involved in it anymore (neither am I, haven't watched or read Naruto in years) but it was how I found you originally 'cause I liked your Naruto fic.

Katara/Zuko Team Forever Bitter

Emma/Regina since thanks to the Fatal Plunge series (which you recommended) being so amazing I am still freaking addicted and unfortunately I'm a masochist and am still watching the show. Uggggh. You should watch ep 3.13: Witch Hunt because it is full of Swan Queen awesome. Full. Just ignore Robin Hood. And continue to ignore the rest of the show for the sake of your sanity!

Katara/Zuko Team Forever Bitter

Forever and always.

Emma/Regina since thanks to the Fatal Plunge series (which you recommended) being so amazing I am still freaking addicted and unfortunately I'm a masochist and am still watching the show. Uggggh. You should watch ep 3.13: Witch Hunt because it is full of Swan Queen awesome. Full. Just ignore Robin Hood. And continue to ignore the rest of the show for the sake of your sanity!

I have been getting the urge to do a re-read of all the epic Swan Queen fanfic I've bookmarked. I may. Also, I have a friend who's been recommending season three to me... I might get sucked back in.

As far as rereads go I highly recommend it. Fanon is king in this fandom. As far as watching season three... Please see above gif. I swear the next time you quit a show we both watch I am quitting with you. I had to make a third twitter account (yes, third, 'cause I have a private one for mistaria so I can say what I want and then one attached to my real identity) just to deal with how much this show makes me feel like I'm on crazy pills. And the SQueens definitely help. But seriously this is going to be another Team Forever Bitter show for me unless they make some serious changes in season four.

I do recommend Save Henry, Going Home, and Witch Hunt for maximum Regina and SQ awesome. There are also magic lessons in The Jolly Rodger but it's a Hook ep so just skip his parts. And I enjoyed Quite a Common Fairy and somewhat enjoyed Kansas (just ignore Emma's complete stupidity)...Well, Regina's parts were awesome. And if you watch Kansas please have this image:

Otherwise do not watch. Just don't. Just watch those and then run screaming away from this show. The two hour season finale felt like it was written by a twelve year old Captain Swan shipper who hated Regina. If it had been fic I would have left a review about the logical inconsistencies. It broke Lily Sparks (http://www.tv.com/news/author/LilyRoRoSparks/) (her reviews are the best way to watch the season honestly).

Oh you should also check out these hilarious recaps (http://thelast-thingido.tumblr.com/thelast-thingirecap).

Also a SQueen posted this (https://mega.co.nz/#!1xExwKRI!tgh2UJVVKljGMaRG7DsMgGt69Cv8I6nne3MaVJXndNo) to twitter and said it has all of the SQ scenes of season three.

The amazing thing that's come from all this awful crap is on the fans side of things. The SQueens and other Once fans (I mean they completely pissed off the Neal/Emma shippers and the Rumbellers (that pairing has gotten worse, if you can believe it) this season too) have been talking about how Hook's character and Captain Swan contributes to rape culture and tweeting at Adam (writer/co-creater) about it a lot and it is so so awesome. Here's a recent commentary on it (and check out my twitter (https://twitter.com/squeeandsnark) if you want... my most recent tweets are retweets of some good commentary sent at Adam after he tried to defend Hook implying Emma was broken when he said he was glad she had her heart broken 'cause at least it meant she had a heart):

Okay this got really long so I'm going to leave a second comment full of good fic links.

You have totally successfully convinced me NOT to watch season three. Thanks.

So I highly highly recommend everything by coalitiongirl (http://archiveofourown.org/users/coalitiongirl). And for one of the few writers who can do SQ humor really well and not make everyone completely OOC check out seriousfic (http://archiveofourown.org/users/seriousfic/works?fandom_id=379999). My current favourite WIP is hunnyfresh's Letters From War (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1165427/chapters/2369580)--an AU where Emma is a soldier and Regina is mayor of Storybrooke who is encouraged by Sydney to be a pen pal to a soldier (guess who!) to contribute to her image.

Here's (http://archiveofourown.org/works/966407) a little one shot mostly PWP AU where Regina is Emma's professor.

Also I liked this one (http://archiveofourown.org/works/947050/chapters/1849609) (very good Regina): "Emma finds herself serving as magic methadone for a Queen formerly known as Evil."

For some fun check out the SQ version of Miss Congeniality (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1494109/chapters/3154732).

There was also a slew of fun fics where Henry assumed Emma brought him to Storybrooke (when he didn't have his memories) because she was dating Regina. Most of the ones I was reading are unfinished (actually they all might be) though. But most of them had the pretend dating trope we're so fond of. Speaking of is there still a dearth of good Cap/Widow fic after WS?

Are they still WIP or are they at least updating regularly?

Speaking of is there still a dearth of good Cap/Widow fic after WS?

Yes. It's so bad that I actually have a MULTI-CHAPTER Widow/Cap fic in the works. Do you know how often I write multi-chapters? Never. That's the answer. NEVER.
Monday, September 1st, 2014 08:51 pm (UTC)
Only one actually got finished that I was reading, which is Pretend We Used To Be Lesbian Lovers! Do It For The Children! (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1329979/chapters/2769340) (she always has hilarious titles like a SHIELD fic called "Don't Tell Skye About the Orgies.").

Do you know how often I write multi-chapters?

Wow yeah you must be desperate for fic. I'm still so confused at the lack of non-slash fic that came out of WS... maybe I shouldn't be at this point.
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014 03:06 am (UTC)
So I just found this one (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1651100/chapters/3501185). I've only read the first chapter but it seems promising. Takes place immediately after season three where Emma has brought Marian back from the past and reunited Marian/Robin and in doing so broken up Regina/Robin (good lord the terribly written crack fanfic this show has become). Yay fake relationship trope! If it turns out to be horrible after the first chapter I promise to come back and warn you. :p

That. Was. Amazing.
Thursday, September 4th, 2014 02:12 pm (UTC)
It was really good! :]

Have you read any of coalitiongirl's stuff yet?
