It's A New Dawn, A New Day, And I'm Feeling Good

[redbrunja]

I'm working for a little longer than normal today, so a coworker can have the day off, so I'm going to need something to entertain me.

Fandom Tennis Match Meme!

Okay, here's how this is going to work. You comment with a fandom question. I answer it and then ask you a question that has some thematic relevance to the question you asked me.

I feel this meme is always a good choice.

My first thought regarding Kate/Clint becoming canon is a mental scream of horror. Like all people who ACTUALLY SHIP THIS PAIRING I am hugely reassured by the fact that Fraction has said it’s not happening on his watch.

If it HAD to be canon, rationally, the best way to preserve the awesomeness of Kate and Clint would be to have them be in a super-super casual relationship and have it be explicit that Kate is continuing to hook up with Noh-varr while nailing Clint.

BUT WHAT I WOULD WANT IN MY HEART OF HEARTS would be this long, slow-burn, mutually unrequired romance. Clint would be like, ‘fuck, I’m in love with Katie-Kate but she’s too young for me and also I’m terrible at relationships and being an adult.’ Kate would be like, ‘fuck, I’m in love with Clint but he’s terrible at relationships. Like, DID I MENTION HOW TERRIBLE AT RELATIONSHIPS AND ALSO ADULTHOOD HE IS?’ And, like, Kate has emotional intimacy issues AT THE BEST OF TIMES. Can you imagine how much she’d freak out at the prospect of dating Clint? There would be epic freakouts.

So they’d both dance around each other and then maybe they’re be an alien invasion or something and they’d end up kissing passionately in the smoking ruins and then there would be more freak outs and then lol-tastic commentary from everyone and more making out.

Your question: favorite pairing that involves a significant age difference?
