Ever felt like you should revoke your shipping credentials? Because you like the strangest ships and/or parts of your ship? Well TELL US MORE. Answer the questions with ships you love like burning.*
*I have comparatively few pairing that I could accurately say I ship like burning, so I qualify this as ships that I a.) really like and b.) would be interested in reading and/or writing fanfic about.
(masterlist of prompts)
(past answers)
Day 19: The starcrossed ship where the obvious reason they're starcrossed is the least interesting aspect to you.
Kara/Lee.
She used to date his now-dead brother and played a part is said brother's death is the LEAST interesting thing about Kara/Lee. Their super-intimate sibling-esque relationship + bantering + fucking boatloads of sexual tension + being most important people to each other (for a while there especially) + screwed up pseudo-family dynamics= I AM SO THERE.
Day 20: The couple you only ship in an "in another lifetime" sort of way.
Here is the really tragic thing about Gale/Katniss:
Gale's Katniss, his Catnip, the girl who volunteered for her sister at the reaping – she never came back from the Capitol. The Katniss who survived the Hunger Games still did not want to be part of a rebellion and did not view the people in the Capitol in black-and-white terms. At the same time Gale is growing more ruthless and driven, Katniss's view of the citizens of the Capitol is growing more nuanced.
At that point, romance-wise, Gale and Katniss are kind of fucked. Especially considering what was happening between Peeta and Katniss at the same time.
But if they'd escaped into the woods together? If Katniss had never gone into the area? I think they could have made each other very happy.
Day 21: The couple with the most daddy (or mummy) issues.
To be honest, I couldn’t think of a good example for this entry. One of my rules is that I have to nominally ship the pairing in question, and while I love *characters* with parental issues, I tend not to like a ship if those issues are playing out in the romantic relationship in question, instead of just informing who the character is. (For a good example of this exactly dynamic done really well, check out Agnes and the Hitman. Actually, just read Agnes and the Hitman, it's awesome.).
Oh! I thought of an example that actually fits the question: Bond/M. ESPECIALLY in Skyfall, good lord.

What I really love about the brother backstory is how genuinely unflattering it is, and that the show didn't sugarcoat what Kara did but also didn't vilify her for it.
And what a great icon, btw.
