TWICE in the last two days I have seen people who I do not know cite YW as having a canonical slash couple (here and here). Unless I'm missing some crazy WAW spoiler, T/C is becoming such a meme. It's everywhere.
So I wish people would write a bit more of it. *sulk*
It's such an easy assumption, though - I mean, I'm not a slasher (and when I say this, I mean my first assumptions are ALWAYS het) and I was genuinely surprised when I heard that DD had not intended them to be read as a couple.
Yeah...I guess they were based on real people, so people are a bit wary of slashing them now, but at the same time everyone knows that everyone thinks of them as a couple >_>
Well, as a slasher I always assumed it- but it's always been confirmed for me by the fact that non- slashers, and people who haven't even heard of slash,t end to think the same thing (CF sixth_light). *shakes head* I mean second to K/N it's my YW OTP- I ust wish it would be writtenmore. ;)
D/R is my ultimate YW ship, then K/N, and then T/C because hell, T/C is just so comfortable and...fluffy. No drama there. Then K/N--they're pretty settled down into "right now we're friends but it could become something else" and then there's my lovely tumultous D/R...^_^
I guess it makes it more interesting, true. With Tom and Carl, really the best thing to do would be to do past-fic, back when they were getting together (assuming they're together now, which, well. We've covered that topic. ;) ) and going through Ordeal or whatever- I mean, we have no idea how they met.
If I had a bunny, I would totally write it myself, even though I never write & have never written slash. *sigh* Oh well, back to the sittin', waitin', wishin'...
D/R, though (oops, forgot to tag this on to the end) always leaves me with this "... too many het pairings. must abort" kind of feeling. I would just kill for some Dairine f-slash, wouldn't you?
Although it would kind of make her very very Willow-y I guess. But I mean, it's not like the world doesn't need more red-headed geeky lesbian magic-using hackers, right?
