MCU

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

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.)
