List the first five OTPs that come into your head, but preferably from different fandoms.

1. McKay/Weir [SGA]
2. Keith/Veronica [VMars]
3. McGonagall/Hermione [HP]
4. Willow/Giles [BtVS]
5. Kaylee/Fred [Jossverse]



1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1?

In episode 10, "Home." I fell in completely batshit, never going away love with it the next episode, "Storm," and then in the twelfth episode I started freaking out like an insane person.

2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5?

When I invented it the summer of 2005.

3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3?

When McGonagall gives Hermione the time turner in book 3.

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.

Keith Mars/Elizabeth Weir. Um. The ship will make no sense.

5. Vise versa.

Veronica Mars/Rodney McKay. The ship will make even less sense.

6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4?

Willow/Giles. The end of "Two to Go," probably. Or else the "huge crush" moment in "Where the Wild Things Are".

7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3?

McGonagall/Hermione. Um, probably awhile? I definitely wanted to ship it right away, because, kink, but it took a few rereads to realize there was actually (LOTS OF) supporting canon.

8. When did you start shipping ship number 4?

Willow/Giles. As I watched the pilot.

9. Take three random people from three of the ships and create an OT3?

Willow/Fred/Hermione. :)

10. Rank your OTPs in order.

Nuhhh. Right now, in order of "time I spend actively obsessing about them," the list goes:
-McGonagall/Hermione
-Keith/Veronica
-Willow/Giles
-Fred/Kaylee
-McKay/Weir

but all five made the list because they're my constantly-return-to OTPs. Maybe Fred/Kaylee a little less. But, even though it's been probably two years since I've seen an episode of Atlantis, McKay/Weir still exist in my head as this huge, epic, unbreakable love. Keith/Veronica also has this value in my mind. The MM/HG obsession is fueled by the release of book 7 and actively not wipping again.

The Jossverse is so much my home that even though that, too, I watch less frequently than I did a couple of years ago, they're always in my head and just at the tips of my fingertips, ready to be written again. I've written both Willow/Giles and Fred/Kaylee seven times, more than any other pairings (except possibly some SG-1 pairings that, while still love, are no longer at the tip top of the list.)

Veronica Mars/Rodney McKay. The ship will make even less sense.

But, but, it can! I don't know why, but I instantly now want to write that fic and somehow make Veronica/Rodney a *thing*. Probably because they're both snarky, smarter-than-you, and we all know about Meg's kink for age differences.

Willow/Giles. The end of "Two to Go," probably. Or else the "huge crush" moment in "Where the Wild Things Are".

YES! YES! I will not express how embarassingly gushy I got when she said "Daddy's home". I will not at all speculate on what that might mean, kink wise.

Also, we will not talk about all that time spent in England where ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED between s6 and s7.

Me? I fell off the bed.

I like the snark inherent in McKay/Veronica, I do, but the larger part of me is saying, "But they're already *in* OTPs!"

Question you said your MM/HG obssesion was fuled by book 7 well what in book seven exactly? Cause for me book 7 is a nice for how much JK developed MM in the later chapters but I didn't really catch anything MM/HG.

[wisdomeagle]

MM/HG are OTP in DH because both times MM is mentioned before she reappears on the scene, it's in reference to HG (once Hermione mentions her; once I think Harry compares them)!

That said, it wasn't so much anything in book seven so much as book seven renewed my interest in HP, which renewed my interest in MM/HG, which was already my OTP.
