icarus_chained: carnival masque, all blue (blue masque)

Shipping vs Pairing. Or my version thereof, anyway. Possibly weird in that I actually see a difference between the two? To explain the ways in which I am not picky, and the ways in which I am very picky indeed, and why. Contains lots of examples, because I like talking about them. *grins*
 

It gets complicated ... )

1 - Write down the names of ten characters.
2 - Write a fic of fifty words or less for each prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

Using the list Jen gave me for another meme, because it was fun:

1. J'onn
2. Londo
3. Sherlock Holmes
4. Isander
5. Selina
6. Watson
7. Barbara Gordon
8. Timov
9. Dowling
10. Vila

11 tiny ficlets ... )

Based on all the great terrors, the Ripper, Fantomas, but inspired in particular by Stitchface from Wooding's The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray.
"I am a monster, Miss Cray. But even monsters want to live."

Human monsters ... )
Vegeta & Goku (DragonBall Z)
Bruce & Clark (DC comics)
Lex & Clark (DC comics)
Avon & Blake (Blake's 7)
Raffles & Bunny (Raffles the Amateur Cracksman)
Holmes & Watson (Sherlock Holmes)

These are all characters I've been reading/watching lately, and I've been noticing a kind of ... theme ... I think, in their interactions. More than just them, of course. There are lots of characters that fall into the same pattern. Not all of them are male, either, though I notice it does seem to be slightly more common among men, at least in fiction.

The pattern of pride and pity ... )
