*heart*

A brief indication of Canon Het Pairings of My Heart:

Zoe/Wash (Firefly)
Margot/Richie (The Royal Tenenbaums)
Luke/Grace (Joan of Arcadia)
Curtis/Hope (Twitch City)
Natalie/Jeremy (Sports Night)
Taran/Eilonwy (Chronicles of Prydain)
Sam Vimes/Lady Sybil Vimes (Discworld)
Henry II/Eleanor of Aquitaine (Lion in Winter)
James/Cecy and Kate/Thomas (Sorcery & Cecelia books)
Buttercup/Westley (Princess Bride)
Xander/Cordelia (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Lisa/Dave (Newsradio)
Christopher/Milly (Chrestomanci books)
Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane (Dorothy Sayers novels)

There are more of varying intensity, I'm sure, but these come up off the top of my head. Actually, the Discworld one is probably the closest thing I have to an OTP in the classic sense of the acronym -- I seriously cannot read any sort of Vimes fic without being sure it doesn't mess with the pairing; Vetinari/Vimes fic, the most common alternative, makes my tummy hurt and makes me wail "But Lady Sybil!"

Also, putting the (rather embarrassing) Newsradio one up there reminds me: DVDs for first and second seasons finally have a release date again! May 2005, baby.

Aw Luke/Grace. I like watching to see if they get less disfunctional.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*nod* I may have made a little high pitched 'awww' with the tearing up of the contract.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

you may not have been alone.

[anotheryourself.livejournal.com]

mmm... lisa and dave. i miss that show. i hate how many dvds of shows i want. grrr.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Sigh. This is true.

[anotheryourself.livejournal.com]

i'm tempted to make a list, but i think it would be too absurdly long.

[qe2.livejournal.com]

Pfft on embarrassment. Like who you like, darlin'.

Taran and Eilonwy rock. Must reread those books SOON. Like when I finish rereading the Wimsey collection, which I'm three books into now :-)...

I've always thought that Susan Cooper's Bran and Jane might have gotten together. Post-Pendragon, of course.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh. Honey, I'm obviously not embarrassed enough to not have it up there, right?

I actually have never read Susan Cooper. Good?

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

If you liked Prydain, you'll probably like the Dark is Rising sequence too; they're just as dark and myffic, dontcherknow. I can still remember most of the Grey King's rules for Welsh pronunciation, although my personal favourite is probably still Greenwitch on account of its Jane-specific focus.

Also, Newsradio DVDs?! Does that mean I finally, finally get to watch the whole "Dave is a spy from Canada" episode again? *squees and runs about in small, crazy circles*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Well, this is just the first two seasons -- I can't, unfortunately, remember what episodes were in which seasons anymore, dammit.

On the day of the dead when the year too dies
must the youngest open the oldest hills.
There fire shall fly from the raven boy
and the silver eyes that see the wind
and the Light shall have the harp of gold.
(The mountains are singing and the Lady comes.)

*cough*

not that i was obsessed with focussed on those books as a kid or anything, no.

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

When Light from the Lost Land shall return
Six Sleeper shall ride, Six signs shall burn
And when the Midsummer tree grows tall
By Pendragon's sword the Dark shall fall.

...Yeah. Not that I understand and completely identify with your childhood obsess- er, extreme focus, or anything. Nuh-uh.

Not one bit.

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

er. Sleepers, rather.

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

Agreed with the Sam/Sibyl love. I've been reading some Discworld "almost het," just to get Vetinari busy with a woman and out of Vimes' reach. *g*

(Actually, I'd like to see Vetinari with *anyone*, but all the decently written stories I've found either put him with Vimes - which I don't want to read - or are het. Have you seen any decent non-Vimes slash with Vetinari?)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*grins* Have you read bravecows's Death/Vetinari curtainfic (http://thewritegirls.populli.net/afrai/curtain.html)?

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes...*that* I read.

(the one exception *g*)

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

I don't think Lisa/Dave is embarrassing at all. *g*

I seriously cannot read any sort of Vimes fic without being sure it doesn't mess with the pairing; Vetinari/Vimes fic, the most common alternative, makes my tummy hurt and makes me wail "But Lady Sybil!"

Yup, that's a true OTP. *g*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I actually have really very few true OTPs like that -- I'm actually sure where this one came from, but it's certainly intense.

(I like your subtle Canon Het Pairing of *your* Heart icon.)

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

I like your subtle Canon Het Pairing of *your* Heart icon

Canon het OTPs are thin on the ground. Gotta love 'em when you can. *G*

[mosca.livejournal.com]

NewsRadio DVDs? Yay! I mean, it'll be a million years before I have the money to buy them, but it's good to know they're soon to exist.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally. I have no idea when, if ever, I'll get to actually have them, but it's awfully exciting.

Space Prostitutes!

[minim_calibre]

Dave and Lisa are totally OTP.

Re: Space Prostitutes!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I was *crushed* (in my little eighth-grader way) when Newsradio didn't end with them back together, yo. Bitches.

...Although, the quote in your subject line? Really lends itself to bad Firefly x-over places, huh?

Re: Space Prostitutes!

[minim_calibre]

Oh, lord, you are SO correct.

I am now giggling at the notion of Dave/Inara.

Re: Space Prostitutes!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It's ... man. I can't even quite make my mind go there.

I don't like as many het pairings as you, but I heart these sincerely

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

Zoe/Wash (Firefly)
Natalie/Jeremy (Sports Night)

And if I could find good stories, I think I'd like:
Anita Blake/Jean-Claude (Laurell K. Hamilton's Blake series)
Stephanie Plum/Ranger (Janet Evanovich's series)
