@mariequitecontrarie thanks for the tag! 🙂

Rules: List 5 of your OTPs and tag 5 mutuals.

I love this thing when it comes round! It’s such a happy thing 🙂

#1 Rumbelle

look at these two dorks – how could you not ship them? Rumple is so full of self-loathing and Belle brings light to his life physically, metaphorically and Rumple in turn totally supports Belle! He lets her be herself, he respects her. I’ve always thought that’s why Belle first went ?? I like this guy! Because he respected her more than her dad/Gaston ever did.

#2 Bering and Wells!!! Whoop, whoop!

My newest obsession I love them so much! Myka is the only one who could have talked HG down. They have so much cool stuff – the grappler! With the “you can owe me one” 🙂 and how they just get one another, and they work together so well and HG sacrifices herself kinda and urk (I still haven’t seen past that because I’m so shook! It was such a perfect shippy thing but then not because of the death but I know that there’s going to be time travel or something and nothing can take that moment away! That moment when Myka said it wasn’t worth losing HG, and HG’s last act was to save Myka. I just can’t even gah!

#3 Evlynn

I love them! I love them! They’ve had what 3 TLK? I have written metas about them, about why they are so well suited. “I like the librarian, he’s weird but he’s interesting” and “I love you more than learning itself”. The push and the pull and the acceptance. I mean sure there’s frustration, they are two individuals used to being alone, used to making the decisions, trying to then function as a unit and there’s friction but there’s also so much love and caring right from the very start. Eve just got Flynn. “If that was the right thing to do then you’d be doing it, not reading about it.” Oh I could go on and on.

#4 Fitzsimmons

They are like the dictionary definition of best friends to lovers (although Philinda does give them competition on that score). They have been through so much, their bond and then their love has been tested every way imaginable. Fitz dove through a hole in the universe for Jemma, and Jemma basically dove into like the mirror universe for Fitz. They’ve travelled in time, they’ve fought together “I’ve saving England from evil robots with the man I love” and the whole team ships them.

#5 Do I have to choose because I have more than five? Ok, ok, I’ll obey the rules 🙁

#5 Jack and Irina

Oh their dynamic is – just wow. I picked them because even though it’s been probably years since I watched Alias, I have returned to their ship as inspiration in my writing repeatedly. It’s the old trope of “I committed the ultimate sin – I fell in love with the mark” – they were on opposite sides, Irina betrayed him, but oh boy did they still love one another. Even after twenty years, and all that pain, they still couldn’t help their feelings.
