Ten Fictional Couples that need to Just Do It Already

[dangermousie]

Ten Couples that need just "do it." This is inspired by the fact that I've found myself sifting through ff.net (yes, indeed) looking for Sousuke/Kaname stories. Additions? Suggestions?

1. Logan/Veronica, Veronica Mars: Almost two seasons! There are limits to what a girl can stand, especially when the chemistry is as combustible as it is with those two. If slow-dancing together is enough to melt my screen, I can only imagine how hot a real get-together scene would be. Come on, after Dullnut, Veronica deserves a good lover. And wouldn't it be nice for Logan to actually do it with someone he loves and who loves him back for a change?

2. Sousuke/Kaname, Full Metal Panic: OK, a blind mouse can tell that you love each other. A blind, mentally challenged mouse. You love each other, you are available and, oh yeah, you risk your lives on regular basis to save each other. The staring at each other in the rain? The almost kiss in scenic locations? The rescuing, and the jealousy. The waiting up by his door waiting for him to come home (Kaname), or disobeying direct orders to save the other (Sousuke)? Stop teasing me, TPTB! Yes, he is clueless emotionally due to his background, and yes, she doesn't want to take the first step, but take pity on me. Kiss already, at least. Besides, face it. No one else will be able to deal with either Kaname's pushiness or Sousuke's off-the-wallness on a regular basis, so you might as well hook up.

3. Doctor/Rose, Doctor Who: What's a trifling 800+ age difference? And what's a nice bloke of a boyfriend? My newest and shiniest OTP so needs to get it on in the back of the TARDIS, it's not even funny.

4. Lee/Kara, BSG: Oh, my OTP. You came so close. Forget Zack. Forget Baltar. Forget Anders. Forget Dee and the Ho of Doom and the Nameless Girlfriend that Lee left behind to be toasted. From the mini, I thought the two were OTP. And TPTB tease us with looks (eye fucking masters, these two), and the kissing, and the drunken desperate making out. Come on, Lee so clearly wants Kara. And short of being brain-damaged, I see no reason for Kara to prefer Lee Lite (a.k.a. Anders) when she can have the real deal. Let Anders bite the big one (Leoben can sit on him), and Kara and Lee get together.

5. Logan/Max, Dark Angel: Come on. Mutually acknowledged love? Check. Mutually acknowledged hotness? Check. Angst and eye fucking and UST? Check. But where is the seeeeeeeeex? Yes, I know, Max's virus would kill Logan on touch, but come on, full-body condom? Not optimal, but you could get really kinky! Considering how hot it was when he was merely examining her tattoos in latex gloves, the possibilities are endless.

6. Mal/Inara, Firefly: I have such a thing for the two of you. Because honestly, if the UST got any hotter, it would become a health hazard. Eye-fucking is all well and good, and so is the angst, and the unconscious kissing, and the crying after you pushed him in someone else's arms, but I am a greedy, greedy, GREEDY bitch and I want more. Not that I should complain, seeing that I got Simon/Kaylee make-out, but I can't help it. I've fallen for the two of them so hard.

7. Lex/Clark, Smallville: Come on. Sexy woobie gazillionnaire, ogling and befriending a teenage boy? Hot and dumb farmboy exchanging lusty longing looks with said millionaire? On second thoughts, I should take them off the list, because they are so doing it already.

8. Aoshi/Misao, Rurouni Kenshin: I have never seen a man more in need of some sex as a means of de-stressing than Aoshi. And let's face it, killer looks or not, not that many women would want to put up with the full of guilt, driven, serious and issue-laden Aoshi. Plus, Misao loves him and wants him, even though she knows him so well, and that's good enough for me.

9. Fry/Leela, Futurama: Because the poor slob Fry is Everyman. And Leela is Everywoman, if Everywoman was a mutant with one eye, flying a spaceship. Because this is Leela's only chance to make out with a guy a thousand years older than she is. And because Bender could sell the videos. Basically, Futurama rules and I couldn't not mention it.

10. Vash/Meryl, Trigun: Come on, when a Catholic Priest is getting more action with his OTP (and I don't mean Jesus) than you two, it's time to get serious. Vash might be close to immortal, but Meryl isn't. Now that Vash's brother problems have been taken care of (or alternatively, just beginning), it's time to settle down and have some adorable rugrats to boss the Deadliest Man Alive silly. She is into you, you are into her, and face it, you won't find another woman to put up with his baggage or another man to put up with he bossiness.

Behind you 100% on 1,3,4,and 5.

But especially 1.

She needs to get laid so very very badly, and by someone who knows what he's doing and just...

She and Logan need to do it but good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

The thought of Veronica thinking that Duncan is the ne plus ultra (or whatever the phrase is) of love-making is quite sad. She really needs someone who knows what he is doing.

As to Lee/Kara. They got sooooo close. Dammit.

[aliterati.livejournal.com]

On second thoughts, I should take them off the list, because they are so doing it already.

So glad you added that. 'Cause I was just about to point it out.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup. They are SO doing it in the barn.

[hellopoe.livejournal.com]

1, 4 and 6. Yes please.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Never have I seen a more appropriate icon!

[hellopoe.livejournal.com]

As soon as I saw your post title...yeah. I knew what was coming. Hee.

[cosmicviolet.livejournal.com]

#1 and #5 - OMG, yes (don't watch the others). I think the closest Max and Logan got to doing it was (besides a dream sequence) in 'Meow,' which I happened to watch today, so it's fresh in my mind. And then Zack has to bust in and spoil their fun. But it was kind of hot when Max was in heat with that other guy, slamming him into walls and ripping off his clothes. Logan and Veronica should try that. Come on, you know Logan likes it rough. :P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know. I adore Zack quite a lot, but since I knew about M/L problems in S2 (with touching), I was going 'do it now while you still can' all through the first season. And when she got the antidote in S2, I was getting VERY frustrated.

I don't know, I actually doubt Logan likes it rough in general. But he could make an exception for Veronica.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

20+ years of Doctor Who viewing and I have to start shipping now.... Yes. The Doctor and Rose should certainly be using all those room in the Tardis for more than storage.

I'm not the world's biggest fan of Firefly, but the one thing that made me watch to the end of the DVDs was the hope that Mal and Inara would actually get it on. No hope there. Did the film go anywhere? I'm guessing not.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. I loved your post about all of Doctor's companions who he could have been shagging.

No, M/I did not get it on like bunnies in the movie, but the ending is (while open) very optimistic on that front (my favorite M/I scene is an earlier one, though when he asks her "Why did you leave?" and she responds: "Because you didn't ask me to stay." It's one of the deleted scenes). So, I do think they got together after the movie was over, but we didn't get to see it :(

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

This tempts me to rent the movie. Of course, it would be a definite rental if they killed River, but I know that doesn't happen. Seriously, I think River is what ruined that show for me.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I like River (she started out annoying me, but by the end of the show, I felt only pity and liking), but if River gets on your nerves, you should probably stay away, because River has quite a large role (though the movie is a Mal movie, basically). She is a bit less crazy, though.

Vash/Meryl, Trigun
But what of Rem??

Oh wait, she's dead.

Darn.

Meryl needs to stop pretending, yo. I'm rewatching it and wow, that's getting annoying.

Fry/Leela = total love. Yesss. Their angst is ridiculous for an American cartoon, dammit!

[antiqueskies.livejournal.com]

As an addendum to the Meryl thing, she just needs to stop her wangsting and jump Vash's bones already. Then everyone would be happy! And the world would be saved! Yes!

Er, yeah.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I don't blame poor Meryl. It's kinda hard to deal with the fact that you've fallen for the man it's your job to follow for insurance purposes and who has more people after him than Meryl has derringers.

Yeah. Rem's out of the picture. Plus, I would find it a bit sick, because even though there are other 'idealized woman' overtones, she was, largely, Vash's mother figure. Plus, she gets on my nerves :P

[antiqueskies.livejournal.com]

Haha, I suppose, but after doing it for so long you'd think she'd just give in and go for it. I mean, really.

True that, but he spent a lot of time angsting over her.

Ha, I didn't much like her either.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Max/Logan. Amen to that.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes. And they ever did get to do it because the show was freaking cancelled. Argh.

[fivil.livejournal.com]

I only know some of these but hear hear to Mal/Inara & Fry/Leela. UST in space, yeah.

I think no show takes it as far as The Office (US or UK, whichever), though. There is so much tension and it's SO obvious they're MFEO but they're just all "We're just friends!" and it's insane.

UST is so dangerous, though, dude. Like what happens when they do get together? Will the show go downhill? There's always that risk. :/

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. Need to watch The Office then. UST is King.

I don't think the show would go downhill, if the writers are good. My favorite show, Farscape, had the couple get together and admit their love blah blah and it was still hot and angsty with plenty of internal issues.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Amen on 2, 8, and 10. And I would add Sanosuke/Megumi to the mix because really, those two will do nothing but argue and then have make up sex once they get together.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

The thing with Sano/Megumi that is striking me as odd, is that (at least the anime, I haven't read the manga), they sort of went that way for a bit and now they've backed off it and kinda forgot about it. I wonder why.

But yes, they would certainy just argue/make-up endlessly.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they do that in the anime, but the anime always seems to consider them an OTP so I don't know (it even pairs them up in the end theme). I figure it just backs off because there's so much else going on and the real OTP of the show is Kenshin/ Kaoru.

[vanimy.livejournal.com]

LOL! I can't speak for the others simply because I don't know them ;) but I totally agree with Lex/Clark and above all with Logan/Max.

But where is the seeeeeeeeex? Yes, I know, Max's virus would kill Logan on touch, but come on, full-body condom?

*giggles* Heh. I kept expecting they would cure the virus or something but alas the issue was left completely unresolved at the end of the show. And then there was that episode when they could touch each other and they did... strictly nothing. Frustration is not even the word to describe my reaction to the mess they did with this plot. ;)

And for Clark/Lex I'm not a big fan of the show and I never noticed anything before realizing that almost everyone on LJ shipped them. :p But the way you put it, heh, gotta agree.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes, the Logan/Max thing drove me crazy. Come on, ther is UST and there is overdoing it :)

Re: Clark/Lex. I don't usually ever see slash, but with the two of them? Oh boy.

[jazmin22.livejournal.com]

3, 5, 8, and 10. *crosses fingers* If there is a GOD of OTP, he/she will look down on this list and make it all come true, not just the ones I agree with, but all of them so we can all be happy!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes. Please.

[jazmin22.livejournal.com]

I figured that praying only for the ones I wanted would be selfish, I want everyone to get the pairings they want!

[syliasyliasylia.livejournal.com]

OMG! I totally agree with all of them (well I a cannot talk about 2 and 10 because I haven't seen those animes, yet)...

Logan and Veronica! YES PLIZ! Now that the chemistry is back with a vengeance!!! My love for them is greater! I love them when they are snarking at each other, when they are working together... and when they care for each other!!

Lee and Kara... well, you know that they are one of my obsessions so ... Though they were super close to the fire in SCAR ... and I am looking forward to Lee and Kara getting together!!! Guuuuh!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes. Lee and Kara drive me crazy. So close yet so far.
