Memes of grumpiness
Man, this evening went from zero to grumpy in about half an hour when I found out I have to work at 6AM tomorrow. Brace yourselves for some memes, ladies and gents. My desktop has too many damned Notepad files on it.
(1) Think of up to 20 ships you support.
(2) List them using descriptions rather than the names of the characters involved.
(3) Have your flist guess as many of the ships (with the fandom) as they can.
1. She's the most incredibly human authorial insert ever, and he's "the perfect English aristocrat." Well, okay, not really - but punting has never been so romantic.
2. He's from another universe, but he belongs with her.
3. He likes the law and his wife, his wife likes him and his charming partner, and the partner likes breaking the law and both of them. (The first guy totally likes his partner, too. Shhh.)
4. They could literally chase each other across the rooftops, but they're more likely to be found fighting back-to-back while mocking each other.
5. They could have a beautiful time planning heists and escapes together - if only they could keep their asses out of prison and away from conspiracies.
6. One is a loner, one is a networker, but they are both dangerous, deadly men and they love their city and its people (and each other?) fiercely.
7. Death, duty, and time-travelling aliens can't stop this relationship from triumphing.
8. One is a cocky but suicidally self-hating genius, and the other is a stubbornly idealistic ex-soldier. Together, they're unstoppable, but things go fatally wrong when they fight.
9. They solve crimes and are probably the most famous roommates of all time.
10. They're more childhood enemies than sweethearts, but I'll bet his imagination makes up for a lot when they grow up.
11. They fight crime with melodrama and exquisitely tight '70s pants, bless their hearts.
12. Despite wildly different ideologies, they are joint masters of the fine art of banter and espionage while thwarting ridiculous acronyms.
13. Gossiping about these two is a terrible idea, but as an ex-spy and a society queen, they're both terrifyingly capable of dealing with any problems that might arise.
14. Her very wet dress and name caught his attention, but she wasn't impressed by his headwear *or* him until events showed her otherwise.
15. It might have taken dinosaurs and time travel to get them together, but nothing's gonna get between them now.
16. They started off as a clone and a camera-wielding stalker, but their relationship is still infinitely healthier than their dads'.
17. After one of the worst breakups in history, they still can't seem to let go of the hope that they can work together again. Maybe it's genetic.
18. She may shoot him someday if he doesn't stop talking about fruit, but no one was more surprised than them to realize how much they care about each other.
19. Banter is inevitable with these two best friends, so stick around. (Don't mind the laugh track, it goes away eventually.)
20. They've both been dead several times and their families are epically disfunctional, but despite everything, even God seems to want them to work it out.

dira: post the working title of a story, and the first sentence, for my most current WIPs. No pairing or summary info. Only a few have first lines, so this is shorter than I thought...though still not exactly brief.
dancers:
As the fanfare played for the third time, Liz snuck a glance backstage through a gap in the curtains.
Up There Beyond The Sky:
Erik was in Chicago when the aliens attacked.
Jack-Mycroft:
When the lights failed to come on and a shadow rose out of the chair behind his desk, Mycroft was not surprised.
coffee for Olivia:
The sound of quiet cursing drifted from the break room as he passed, and Tony slowed to evaluate the situation.
Illyan watches MFU:
The whole thing started on the second Winterfair after Vordarian's Pretendership, when Lady Vorkosigan gave Simon the datadisk as a - what was that Betan phrase Cordelia used? - 'gag gift.'
the VM-Brick crossover (aka the one![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inmyriadbits probably won't let me call it PI-vs-PI):
The phone rings at 5:23 AM, which is a bad omen to start the day with, but Brendan fumbles it off the hook anyway.
Hello My Name Is:
Transcript from the MysteryCon panel "Fact or Fiction?: Writers Working in Law Enforcement", featuring panelists Dr. Temperance Brennan, Richard Castle, and Thom E. Gemcity.
feel like a soldier:
Arthur's lack of a juvenile record is, according to his father, a goddamn miracle.
first hat:
The boy was digging around the backside of a pile of discarded windchimes when a very strange man came flailing around the corner.
katieupsidedown gave me age 14! Leave a comment if you want an age.
(March 10 2001-March 10 2002 - freshman year)
I was dating: no one? two schools at the same time? fandom?
I wanted to be: a marine biologist. Whoops, that didn't work out.
I was living: at home in Austin, in a white house that my mother insists is grey.

1 is Harriet/Peter. But take it from me, punting has ALWAYS been romantic ;-).
3 I guess is White Collar? Peter/Elizabeth/Neal. I've seen about two episodes of it, but that sounds right.
9 has to be Holmes and Watson
12 is Napoleon/Illya
13 - do I even need to tell you? ;-)
And oh, having to go to work at 6am sounds awful! *hugs*
