Character meme

[clare_dragonfly]

I stole this meme from d_generate_girl. Some of these will be extremely obscure. (Yes, Lynnie, some of them are yours.)

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.

1. The definitely-not-mad genius and the former spy.
2. The brilliant mermaid and the demon. Kailani/Rozen (Addergoole), guessed by rix-scaedu.livejournal.com
3. The scientist and the woman who leaps in front of bullets. Abby/Kate (NCIS), guessed by tephra
4. The ice queen and the fire prince. Shahin/Emrys (Addergoole), guessed by moonwolf
5. The extremely sensitive girl and the extremely rigid boy.
6. The British inventor and the American bookworm. HG/Myka (Warehouse 13), guessed by smeddley
7. The herbologist and the cryptozoologist. Neville/Luna (Harry Potter), guessed by tephra
8. The silent priestess and the fairy queen.
9. The woman in the coffin and the man who always keeps her safe. Abby/Gibbs (NCIS), guessed by d_generate_girl
10. The shy girl and the (mostly-)reformed rake.
11. The elder sister and the bookish officer.
12. The man in the wrong world and the woman who is completely badass. Peter/Olivia (Fringe), guessed by kay_brooke
13. The girl who was on fire and the boy who baked her bread. Katniss/Peeta (The Hunger Games), guessed by kayim
14. The skeleton and the rag doll. Jack/Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas), guessed by rix-scaedu.livejournal.com
15. The permanent replacement and the temporary replacement.
16. The bright geek and the reluctant hero.
17. The assassin and the action figure.
18. The artist and the king of the lab. Angela/Hodgins (Bones), guessed by kay_brooke and d_generate_girl
19. The healer princess and the prince in disguise. Rin/Girey (aldersprig's work), guessed by rix-scaedu.livejournal.com
20. The woman in one world and the woman in the other world.

ETA: A few of these might be more my interpretation than anything that's necessarily there in the canon... And, if anyone is still guessing, it might be a helpful hint to tell you that none of these are slash--there is some het and some femslash.

13. The girl who was on fire and the boy who baked her bread.

OKay, I can get this one, but only because I just re-read the book :)

Katniss/Peeta

[clare_dragonfly]

Hee, I thought that one was pretty straightforward ;)

[k_a_webb]

4. The ice queen and the fire prince.

Shahin and Emrys? Maybe?

[aldersprig]

That was my thought. :-D

[clare_dragonfly]

Indeed! Very good :D

[rix_scaedu]

19. Rin and Girey.

10 could be quite a few Georgette Heyer books, as I remember them! :)

[aldersprig]

/headesk/ how did I miss that one?

[clare_dragonfly]

19 is correct. I haven't read any Georgette Heyer, though you have the right era!

[aldersprig]

*Perks? Yeah?* I have guesses.

((I don't have enough fandoms to do this meme))

I have guesses for 1... Um. well, 4.

[clare_dragonfly]

Aww... One of yours remains unguessed!

[aldersprig]

#2?

[clare_dragonfly]

That is indeed one of yours.

[aldersprig]

Yay! :-D

[clare_dragonfly]

What, you're not going to tell me who they are? Do I have to just assume you know? :-P

[aldersprig]

It seems like cheating when it's my setting!! K/R though, right? I ship them so hard too.

(We finished a post-apoc pron for them...)

[clare_dragonfly]

Hey, I thought you would be the only one to catch yours, but other people did! Yes, you are correct. I guess I will leave it open for other people to guess if they want.

(Yaaaaaaay post-apoc pr0n!)

[clare_dragonfly]

I actually considered putting Lily/Caity on the list but decided that was too weird since one of the characters is mine...

[kay_brooke]

#12 is Peter/Olivia from Fringe.

#18 is Angela/Hodgins from Bones.

[clare_dragonfly]

Correct and correct!

[d_generate_girl]

#9 - Abby Sciuto/Leroy Jethro Gibbs, from NCIS.
#18 - Angela Montenegro/Jack Hodgins, from Bones.

[clare_dragonfly]

Yes and yes! Come on, there are more you should be able to guess :-P (Unless I am just entirely too cryptic.)

[aldersprig]

OMG I didn't get 18... *facepalm*

[clare_dragonfly]

I didn't even know you watched Bones!

[aldersprig]

It's one of a short list of shows I watch regularly.

[clare_dragonfly]

I watch it semi-regularly. Hey, if you watch it regularly, do you know why Daisy is back? I thought she was still on that island where she and Brennan were studying ancient dead people, and that she and Sweets had broken up. (Though maybe the latter was wishful thinking.)

[aldersprig]

I do not recall and have not yet watched this season; I'll check with T. (They did break up, I don't think it lasted).

[clare_dragonfly]

Oh, well, if you haven't watched this season that breaks my definition of "regularly" :-P

[aldersprig]

I've seen every episode on time or the day after for the past three seasons. Nano just got in the way.

I've also seen /every/ episode before this seasons at least once.

[clare_dragonfly]

Ah, okay, so at least if there was some explanation in the last season you would know it, whereas I may have missed it.

[aldersprig]

She did come back from the island, and there was something involving having swallowed the ring, and Lance took her back... I find her boring and try to ignore her?

[clare_dragonfly]

Fair enough :-P I find her irritating and difficult to ignore.

[tephra]

7. Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood

And I am ashamed I didn't get #9, I love that one. I knew #18 but drew a complete blank on the names. *face!palm*

[clare_dragonfly]

Correct!

Hee, you got one nobody else had gotten yet, so you can feel good about that!

[tephra]

I keep looking at #3 and wondering if it could be Abby/Kate (NCIS).

[clare_dragonfly]

It could be, and it is! :D

[smeddley]

6. H.G. Wells and Myka Bering (Warehouse 13)?

16. I want to say is from Criminal Minds, but I don't know the characters well enough? It's the geek part that makes me think it. But that could apply to a lot of people...

[clare_dragonfly]

Correct on both counts! :D

[rix_scaedu]

14. Jack Skellington and Sally?
Haven't seen the movie, have played Kingdom Hearts...

If I realised what 2 was from other people's comments, do you want me to put them down?

[clare_dragonfly]

Yes! Hehe, I thought that was one of the obvious ones.

Sure! Somebody has to get the credit, I suppose :-P

[rix_scaedu]

2. Kailani and Rozen.
Which I only picked up from the author talking about it further up.

Is 1. the two main male leads from "Person of Interest"? I've seen the show once so I don't remember their names.

[clare_dragonfly]

The first is correct (really, I thought it was pretty obvious, even if she isn't actually a mermaid), the second is not. I can kind of see how you would think that, from the ads, but I've seen less than one episode! It is a TV show, though...
