Re-run of a Shippy Meme
Ask me about one of my fandoms and I'll tell you:
+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't

MCU
OTP: Hawkeye/Black Widow - It's the way they back each other up without question and their body language and that they wouldn't hesitate to stop each other if either went rogue. The entire 'red in my ledger' scene makes me all *flail* hands.
Runner-up + Honorable mention(s): In the rest of the MCU I am disturbingly vanilla, so Tony/Pepper, Thor/Jane and Steve/Peggy.
I particularly like the way Thor looks when he even thinks about Jane, he goes all stars and hearts and it's adorable.
Crack pairing(s): Coulson/Pepper, because they're the only reasonable people in their respective organisations. They'd be so organised and deadly. And well dressed and wryly affectionate.
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Natasha/Hulk, although I don't know anyone who likes it so I'm not sure if that's a good answer. It's just they don't work. They don't work in so many ways.
And it's not just because it broke up my OTP, because I <3 Hawkeye and Hawk-wife. And I think the reason I like Hawkeye/his wife is the exact reverse of why I don't like Nat/Bruce. Bruce goes 'stop doing the valuable and vital work you do because I don't like the person *I* turn into when we do this', while Hawk-wife goes 'I accept that you have a job that is dangerous, but I respect your choice to do it and will back you 100%, and if you ever want to stop, then I will back you in that too.' I <3 Hawk-wife rather a lot.
(Which causes a problem for any post-AOU fic that features Hawkeye/anyone, because it turns out that's a hard squick for me.)
Re: MCU
Awww, sweet :) I like the canon ships too. How do you feel about Steve/someone else? I'm kind of into the idea of Steve/Sharon (I'm aware of the issues with them in comic-verse but hope they will avoid most of that within the movies) but I'll admit part of it is because of residual Revenge fondness for the actress.
I can actually really see Coulson/Pepper for similar reasons.
The weird thing is? I like Natasha/Hulk - it's Natasha/Bruce I feel was handled badly. Yes, they are different ships in my mind.
I get it. I loved Hawk-wife. I will admit again part of it is actress love from another role (ER in her case).
Presumably the disturbingly vanilla takes away an open relationship as a possibility?

>>The weird thing is? I like Natasha/Hulk - it's Natasha/Bruce I feel was handled badly<< Yes, this makes sense.
>>Presumably the disturbingly vanilla takes away an open relationship as a possibility?<< No, it was more that all my MCU ships (with the exception of Black Widow/Hawkeye) are canon and that's not usual for me.
Re: MCU
I'm glad it makes sense. I think they could do interesting future things but I wouldn't hate it if it was left on the shelf - it did have an appropriate ending.
That is unusual! For me too.
