ndnickerson1. Pick your 5 favorite OTPs (One True Pairings)
2. Find pictures and post them
3. Give the name of the OTP and what fandom they're from
4. List your favorite moment between them
5. Tag 5 people to do this meme (yeah, whoever'd like to do it, knock yourselves out.)
01. chuck, chuck bartowski and sarah walker
hmm. it's hard to pick a favorite moment for these two, because there's so many and yet so few to choose from. right now i'd have to go with their kissing practice for roan montgomery. they so clearly want each other, and yet they can't be together. yet. i like the thought that maybe chuck kept one of their fake wedding pictures, either in hope for the future or because he knows it can never be.
02. nancy drew files, nancy drew and ned nickerson
i had to pick this cover because a) it looks like a romance novel, b) it is my favorite files of all time EVER and almost always appears on my list of my favorite books of all time, and c) it clearly looks like ned is about to grope her in public. he doesn't have an arm wrapped around her waist; he is reaching for her fly. i was positively, mouthwateringly scandalized the first time i saw this cover, totally breathless with the sheer scandalous... gloriousness of it. my favorite moment from this book is when they are making up after their fight and they kiss until she's breathless, and when they let each other go... oh dammit, let me quote. (and i opened right to this page, too. IT IS FATE.)
"At the door of the Theta Pi house, Ned took Nancy in his arms and gave her the kind of hug that made her think that everything was all right. Relieved, she lifted her face to his for a kiss. As they clung together for several minutes, their kiss went well beyond making up. Nancy felt limp in his strong grasp, powerless to do anything other than continue the long embrace. When they finally let each other go, it was slowly, reluctantly."
needless to say, my alternate ending to this scene would have them end up in bed. and when i read this, it was eye-poppingly sensual, far beyond anything nancy and ned had ever done before. much more than their vague allusions to some time spent in the hot tub during their ski trip, or "hours" of ned "teaching" nancy "chess."
otherwise, my favorite moment is in the original texts, when ned very clearly implies to nancy that he intends to ask her to marry him one day.
03. perry mason, perry mason and della street
i guess i just really like couples who are doomed to never be together. kind of. although this pic is from the tv series, i adore the novels, and my favorite moment is from Case of the Half-Wakened Wife. perry and della are trying to figure out the solution to the mystery; they end up sharing a kiss, and he proposes to her. and she, as every time he proposes, turns him down, afraid that if she were to marry him and run his household, he would replace her in the office, and she would no longer be able to share in his adventures, and he'd lose his interest in her. and maybe she's right, but i always wish that there was a weekend she just went with it. even better: a secret marriage, and she gets the best of both worlds. because they are always so perfect for each other.
04. lois & clark: the new adventures of superman, lois lane and clark kent
i wanted to find a pic of clark in the black suit (because SWEET JESUS), but honestly, this is better, because he's clark (sans glasses) and lois has her pretty hair instead of the sometimes bizarre haircut she was sporting around the time of the faked alien abduction and clone debacle. i absolutely love lois and clark. one of my favorite moments is when clark has been exposed to a kryptonian virus, he's sick and on the verge of death, and lois stays by his side even as her father has to pretty much kill him to save him.
also, have i mentioned the black suit? because it bears mentioning again.
05. x-files, mulder and scully
i actually had this poster up in my high school dorm room. i'm pretty sure i still have it, somewhere. it's better than any of the grainy blurry low-lit frustrating shots of them sharing meaningful glances and/or making out, and it's so damn sexy. my favorite moment between them is quite probably their bee-interrupted kiss in his apartment hallway during the first movie. glorious.
