On the alpine highway of life, you are my all-weather tires.

Man, what is better than a beautiful lazy Saturday morning after a long week of work and various running around? I've had my scrambled eggs, my bagel (half margarine, half Nutella- yummm), and now I've got a cup of the fantastic jasmine tea my sister sent up from Florida. I've got all three Sherlock episodes queued up for viewing, and I haven't quite decided if I'm going to attempt a beef stew today. Hm. Also, I finally caved and bought six months of paid lj time. So, uh, yay extra icons? Heh, that was really all I was interested in. I dunno, maybe I'll fiddle around with my layout.

Anyway, my creepy lj-lurking has found me a meme!

List the first five OTPs that come into your head.
1. Peter/Claude
2. Maj. West/Mirror!Wendy
3. Wash/Zoe
4. Alice/Hatter
5. Shawn/Lassiter

1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1 (Peter/Claude)?
Aw, well, actually, visiblemarket and I were talking about that a little while ago, and I unforgivably forgot that my first exposure to Peter/Claude was sam_storyteller's unbelievable Hiatus Continuations fic from waaay back when. That definitely caught my interest, as did his epilogue fic that focused on the pairing, Throwing Bricks at One Another. And then I wrote my WW2 thing and found peterandclaude and the rest, as they say, is history. And I couldn't be happier. ^^

2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5 (Shawn/Lassiter)?
Hmm. It's been an awfully long time, and Shawn/Lassiter is a pairing I really like, but haven't pursued much myself beyond reading fic. Especially these days, where the show's writers treat them both like one-dimensional cartoon characters whose interactions have no lasting impact or create any kind of development at all. But, there were moments throughout the first few seasons where I honestly could've seen Shawn/Lassiter become canon. All the mutual frenemy groping and such. There are plenty more, but what's coming to mind right now is from the episode "Gus Walks into a Bank" where Shawn exclaims to Lassiter, "You are so sexy right now!" And also pretty much the whole of "Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing." And also my subject line, which was a note written from Shawn to Lassiter in season one and ended with "H&Ks."

3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3 (Wash/Zoe)?
Aw, I guess it'll have to be them in bed during "Shindig," with Zoe all naked and glowing and Wash being insanely adorable and hot. "I'm getting into this poetry thing. 'Here lies Zoe, my autumn flower... Somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross.'" Awww, *tear*.

4. What will the ship be if you take the boy from ship 2 and the girl from ship 1 and mesh them? If one or both of the ships are slash, then pick and choose.
Whoops! That would be either Peter/West or Claude/West- the first I've already covered and the second... no comment, except that, as with most CE characters, I don't think they'd get along.

5. Vise versa.
Umm, I guess that would be Peter/Mirror!Wendy or Claude/Mirror!Wendy. Which is.. interesting. One of the dark Future!Peters might get along okay with her, I think. Claude, though... I doubt it. I just don't think he's attracted to power that way, and I think that's a lot of who Mirror!Wendy is.

6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4 (Alice/Hatter)?
Well, since it's a miniseries there aren't a ton to choose from. I do like the heart-achy moment before she leaves where the UST is bursting at the seams and you want them to just freaking say what they really mean but they don't. And then there's the lovely "What happens if I can't get back?" "Then I'll make sure you're okay." exchange, which gave me an idea for a fic that I'll never write but still like to ruminate on every now and then.

7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3 (Wash/Zoe)?
Heh, uh, I think I was probably watching Firefly and enjoying Wash/Zoe before I really got started in fandom proper.

8. When did you start shipping ship number 4 (Alice/Hatter)?
Pssh, instantly? I thought it was cool that the show's creators went there. I know Alice/Hatter has been around for the Disney version and probably others, but it can be kind of squicky if you don't adjust things a little. Syfy's Alice really went ahead and retooled their whole dynamic into something that worked extremely well.

9. Take three random people from three of the ships and create an OT3.
Hee, how about Claude/Zoe/Lassiter? Aw, now I'm thinking of it as a big grief-fueled triangle because they've all lost their soul mates one way or another. In any case, it would be badass, no matter what.

10. Rank your OTPs in order.
Peter/Claude
West/Mirror!Wendy
Shawn/Lassiter
Wash/Zoe
Alice/Hatter
(I really based that on how much I've done for the pairing, from writing fic/making fanmixes/etc. to just squeeing about it.)

Yeah, there is that desire to stay up late just because you can when you don't have work in the morning, but which naturally results in missing part of said morning. I'm very annoyed that it's already after noon.

Maybe I'll take a look.

Exactly.

It's not even really a desire to stay up late for me. I don't know what it is, but it's like my internal clock is automatically set to Pacific Time or something. *laughs* I just naturally stay up later and later.

I just like the additional choice of customized layouts. And I tend to think they're nicer.

And now I'm off to work! Have a great day. :)
