Meme: Guessing OTPs

[butterfly]

I started to do the 'guess my OTP' meme, but (almost) all of my pairings started with 'they're best friends'. For the most part, I'm rather predictable.

Pick up to 13 OTPs.
Describe them in 13 words or fewer.
Have your flist guess the OTP.

1. He helped her breathe again; she gave him a life that mattered. (Buffy/Xander; guessed by maechi and mls03j)
2 Betrayal, friendship, hate and love all mixed-together; who is master now? (Anakin/Obi-Wan; guessed by dirty_diana)
3. It's canon that they always get together, but they met earlier this time. (Lois/Clark; guessed by fiery_twilight)
4. They're always partners, through the wind and the cold. (Fraser/Kowalski; guessed by antigone921)
5. She would have given him her forever; he gave her a lifetime. (Doctor/Rose; guessed by fiery_twilight and miss_prufrock)
6. Classic couple that's getting a younger look this year. They've done it all. (Kirk/Spock; guessed by lasultrix)
7. They spent a lifetime in love, in a timeline only one man remembers. (Daniel/Vala; guessed by ngaio)
8. The exception: not best friends, but petty school rivals. Starts with no handshake. (Harry/Draco; guessed by ngaio)
9. Nothing in his huge world matters if he doesn't have his best mate. (Vince/Stuart; guessed by wolfling)
10. She was always challenged by him and he never got over her. (Joey/Pacey; guessed by jic)
11. They're partners in (solving) crime and have been best friends since childhood. (Shawn/Gus; guessed by ngaio)
12. They stand together against injustice and would give anything just to hold hands. (Max/Logan; guessed by mls03j)
13. One is dead; they annoy each other ceaselessly, but there's always some affection.

there's a few I think I should know but 9 is Stuart and Vince, QaF UK

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

[fiery-twilight.livejournal.com]

I think #3 is...Lois and Clark?

#5 is...the Doctor and Rose?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Absolutely right!

[miss-prufrock.livejournal.com]

Is 5 TenII/Rose?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

More D/Rose in general, but I would give you points for that answer (if this actually came with points).

[ngaio]

7 Daniel/Vala?

8 Draco/Harry

11 Shaun/Gus (Psych - if so that's Flists for you, I've never seen it or read any fanfic for it!)

12 Ned/woman from Pushing Daisies (only seen 5 minutes of it!)

2 Doctor/Master - but really, that could fit so many fandom couples. Also House/Wilson for starters.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

7 -- Absolutely.
8 -- You got it!
9 -- I'm impressed by your fannish osmosis, this one is totally correct.

I actually quite enjoy this meme because it's interesting seeing the different ways people find to describe/summarise their pairings but I just suck at it and never find anything *sigh*

Still, it doesn't stop me from trying, so :

I'll try 1. John/Sara (New Amsterdam) and 12. Chuck/Ned (Pushing Daisies)? Even though I'm not sure you even watch Pushing Daisies... maybe I should pay a bit more attention?

Hee, yes. When I started it, I realized that I wrote "they're best friends", like, three times in a row, so I think I have a type.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

'Best friends' is a very nice type *nods*

Also, I just realised that I mixed the first half of 11. with the second half of 12. so the whole 'stand up to justice' kinda sounds too intense - for lack of better words - for Pushing Daisies... which is sad because the whole 'holding hands' thing really worked *pout*

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually seen Pushing Daises yet (I'm planning to, but an afraid that I won't like it as much as most people do, so I'm putting it off). But they sound sweet.

[arabian.livejournal.com]

Joining the crowd with #5 - The Doctor/Rose. Beautiful description of them, btw.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I *heart* them.

[maechi.livejournal.com]

I think #1 is Buffy/Xander. :D

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

You are completely right.

[shaela]

I’m guessing the first one is Buffy and Xander. And number twelve sounds like Max and Logan from Dark Angel.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Right on both counts!

[sunnytyler001.livejournal.com]

2. Blair & Chuck (the boy), Gossip Girl
12. Ned & Chuck (the girl), Pushing daisies

7 sounds familar... It happened with Sam & Jack on SG1, I think... and on The 4400 with Tom & Alana, but....

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I have not seen either of the show with the Chucks! I hear a lot about PD, though.

[dirty-diana.livejournal.com]

These memes do nothing but drive me insane. :) 2. Ani/Obi?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

12. Ned and Chuck?
13. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

13 - there are more pairings with dead people than I realized!

[shei.livejournal.com]

The only one I cant think of is Merlin/Arthur for 6? I suck at these. Out loud.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Hee. Don't feel bad about it.

I don't really have words for Merlin/Arthur yet. They are too new.

[shei.livejournal.com]

It was fun to try :)

Merlin/Arthur: gayer than a rainbow?

*giggles*

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Gayer than a pink, sparkly unicorn?

[antigone921.livejournal.com]

4 = Fraser/Kowalski, perhaps?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

You got it!

[antigone921.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ngaio]

13 Randall and Hopkirk?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

13 -- No, but you're... warmish.

[ngaio]

13 Angel/Spike? Although they're both dead aren't they?!

[suaine.livejournal.com]

6. could be Holmes/Watson and 13. has something of Zeke Stone/The Devil.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Wow, there are a lot of pairings with dead people in them. Clearly, that hint was far less useful than I was expecting.

[lasultrix.livejournal.com]

6 Kirk/Spock?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[bats_eye.livejournal.com]

13. Geoffrey/Oliver?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

No, though it is a pair in a funny show.

[spookysen.livejournal.com]

13 Angel/Cordelia?

There was something else I was thinking of, but I forgot it. :/

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Even more dead than Angel.

[ngaio]

If you don't share the answer to #10 soon I think my brain will explode because the answer seems just out of my reach and it's Really. Bloody. Annoying!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

jic guessed it -- it was Joey/Pacey from Dawson's Creek.

[ngaio]

That was so absolutely nowhere near the things I was thinking! Huh.

[jic]

10- Joey/Pacey?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[arabian.livejournal.com]

You're kidding me, right?! You are a Buffy/Xander fan TOO!?!?!?!? We so have to talk this weekend. Uh huh.
