redfiona99Pick five OTPs, preferably from different fandoms, and answer the following questions.
1. Rogue/Gambit (X-men)
2. Ivanova/Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)
3. Noin/Zechs (Gundam Wing)
4. Kira/Odo (Deep Space 9)
5. Kurogane/Fai (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)
1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1?
The first time I saw the X-men animated series. I just fell so hard for them.
2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5?
I think it was in something the 6th volume, they were in the Country of Ōto anyway, and they get attacked by some creatures. Fai is injured because he refuses to use magic against them and Kurogane states how much he hates people who won't protect themselves and their people and the Fai says something like 'you must really hate me then'. I just don't have words for how bittersweet his expression is at that point.
3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3?
I'm torn between two moments, one is when we see them meeting for the first time in the series and you find out that not only does he know that she let him be class valedictorian, she's also one of the 3 people who know his real identity.
The other is at the end when she's fighting with the Gundams (on their side) when they come up against Zechs and she won't fight him.
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.
Marcus Cole and Rogue. Well, once I get over a brain exception error because he'd never love anyone except Ivanova, (I should point out that when I use OTP in regards to Marcus, I mean it), there is something funny about him going to someone who's mentally unavailable to someone that's physically unavailable. And he'd probably be the one person who could cope. I feel they would be very sweet and twee.
5. Vise versa.
Gambit and Ivanova. Do you mean before or after her third attempt to push him out of an airlock or before? It just really wouldn't work. It would be funny though.
6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4?
When Kira, despite everything they've started to suspect about the Founders and everything that's going on around her, flies Odo to the Founder's planet.
7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3?
I'm still not a part of Gundam Wing fandom per se, I've barely read any fics, but probably after having watched at least half the series.
8. When did you start shipping ship number 4?
About the same time as the series made it obvious how much Odo cared for Nerys.
9. Take three people from three of the ships and create an OT3.
Like I've said, I object to the idea of Marcus Cole with anyone else. Kira and Kurogane would be hot like burning. However, Kira and Zechs would be terrible, and I can't see Kira and Noin working. Or Kira and Ivanova or Rogue. Rogue and most people wouldn't work. Fai and Noin might well work. But I can't think of anyone that would work with them. Then again, I think part of the problem is that these are pretty much cast iron so I can't see them working split up in any ways.

Noin and Zechs.
