*grins* Wash 'n' Zoe.

God. Where do I start?

I want to believe that Zoe is pregnant in Serenity. I want to believe that even though Wash is gone, she is going to have that kid they were talking about, because it will be the most beautiful child, with reddish-gold hair, chocolate skin and clear blue eyes. And it'll choke Mal up from time to time, even though he'd never admit it - only River and the kid will know - but he'll teach her - the kid, she's a daughter - he'll teach her to fly, very early on, take her on his knees in Wash's pilot seat and put his big hands over her tiny ones on the 'wheel', and they'll play with the dinosaurs and god, I'm breaking my own heart thinking of this.

Wash and Zoe are just. They work so well, and I adore Joss for showing us a married couple, where the marriage isn't all happy on top of that, but where the marriage is working, and they're in love, and they have great sex, and they're both such interesting characters and she's this amazingly strong woman and he's not strong in the same ways but boy, is he as well, and she's a warrior and he's a pacifist and we know she's the reason he's here, first and foremost, she's his path to serenity.

And they just look so good together, Alan and Gina sold them perfectly, and I don't know if they did a better job at the happiness or the tensions, they did both so amazingly well, and the way they react when the other one is in danger, so different - Zoe all calm and stoic, Wash fiery and irrational and in-Mal's-face - and yet so very much the same, at the core, because it's love. All of it, love, and they have it, and rejoice in it, and that's why I love them.

...want me to go on? I could go on.

Oh, it's all so true and heartbreaking! Everything you say.

Part of my special love for that show [besides every little thing about it] was that it had a married couple that were married. They didn't spend the whole show trying to get together, or cheating on one another, or having screaming rows. They were just married, and sometimes bad stuff happened, and they loved each other so much. It was the most real marriage I've ever seen in fiction. The way the different dimensions of each character [and actor] played off the other...

I want Zoe to be pregnant, I do. There are two different places in Serenity where I am certain Wash and Zoe went off and had great married sex, and I think it was one of those times. But on the other hand my poor little broken heart wants to see Wash teaching his daughter to fly. Making dinosaurs talk to her. Getting teared up and looking at Zoe like she's a miracle.

/sniff
//FICTION
////right?

....the two of you are making me pout. in a aww, that's so precious kind of way, about Zoe'n'Wash's daughter.

Like I told

elite, here (http://gabby-silang.livejournal.com/173959.html#cutid1) is Wash with his daughter and a ficlet of utmost "awwwww" quality.

Exactly, yeah, it's not about a wedding, it's about a marriage. And god, what a marriage.

...you know ever since I sobbed my poor little Browncoat heart when I first saw Serenity, I kinda prided myself in my attitude of "okay, so it killed me, and I'll probably cry each time I see it because let's face it I'm a crybaby for characters I love and hell do I love Wash, but I'm not gonna be in denial, he's dead and it was brilliantly done and the death he deserved ("I hope you end your life as a leaf on the wind") and I will not join any sort of denial clan." Except, the kid. That daughter of theirs (yes, it has to be a girl) is the one thing that makes me want to write denial!fic. I need to dig around and find that fic again which a friend of mine wrote, where that's precisely what it is, denial!fic and the daughter. And it made me cry.

Here (http://gabby-silang.livejournal.com/173959.html#cutid1).

And that is perfect. It's probably Zoe's dream, if you wanna take it in a non-denial way, because it's just entirely too perfect. I love it so hard.

Tony from 24! Why do you love him so much? ...though I love him too.

Heee! Girlfriend finally watched first episode of Day One yesterday. ...although granted, it's not Tony at his best just yet.

Okay, so. Why Tony. Because Tony's this guy who'll do what's right. That's what he does, that's what first struck me in Day One, is that he put his Jack-animosity aside to consider the facts, and what he should do, and someone that can do that is someone I'm bound to adore.

Because Tony got fucking hurt by Nina, completely played, and god the hurt that shows on his face at the end, it's amazing, and so that ties in nicely with: because of Carlos Bernard. Who is an amazingly intense actor, with those eyes of his, and god. Just, god. Such intensity. ...and the pretty doesn't hurt.

Because Tony smiles so little that when he does? Day Two, now, and that smile he has as Michelle walks away in the end. If I hadn't already been completely in love with him, that would have been it. That smile.

Day Three - because of how much it would have killed him to lose Michelle. When he finally lets it show on the phone, god, he broke me. Because he breaks me that easily. Mmmmmtony. I love to be broken.

Day Four - because the whole dark'n'bitter look is a good one for him. Despite the awkward way they wrote it into the scripts (their writers have never been good at exposition, christ, it's sad), because it was just so very sexy, and I wanted, desperately, for someone to up his sense of self-worth, and get him out of his misery (by which I don't mean kill him).

...okay, I think that's enough rambling. *grins*

You're a good rambler! Heee! But I love Tony too and you describe him so well, and yes, the pretty doesn't hurt.

I'm amazing! [preens]

Heee! 'Course you are, darling. You don't need me to tell you that, do you?

Wat/Geoff. I'm intrigued.

God. Okay. ...this is gonna be a hell of a ramble, ye be warned.

Let me start by stating that it is all

shadesofbrixton and

havenstar's fault. Completely and utterly their fault. I used to be into Wat/Kate and unrequited Geoff for Will. Now, if you're intrigued to the point of wanting to give it a try (which, you totally should), I suggest heading over to

fic_orphanage and going back enough in time to find the first in their series of Wat/Geoff. What they do is this: write about them in different time periods. Which, okay, probably just made you go 'wtf?' but, it's amazing. The first fics are present time, and then there's western (I've been told the afore-mentioned chaps triggered that one), and the roaring twenties, and there's Da Vinci as well, and WWII, and a futuristic neo-punk that oh my rutting god brought me to tears, and a Firefly crossover, too. There are also vignettes of more 'regular' movieverse fanfiction. And that's for the how. That's how I got addicted, how I even learned about that pairing I'd never encountered before, but that's not why.

Why is... they just fit. They fit so perfectly, in all that they're opposites. Words are the most important thing to Geoff, and Wat never uses words if he can use actions. They have great chemistry, with the whole fonging thing, and the two above-mentioned authors simply make them work so well, you have to read them. Usually, I'll readily admit, angst is my thing. But those stories, if anything, are not predominantly angsty. There's some angst, yes, hidden in between the lines, because that's life, but they're just so sweet and god, it is crack. It's complete crack.

I can't even really explain what makes that pairing work so well for me, but by god it does. And those fics are such a celebration of those two characters, and that movie, and all the other characters as well because they have cameos now and then, and they created a whole family for Wat that is just a wonderful string of original characters and I love them like crazy, and it's just, they created a mythology, as far as I'm concerned, of a love story reinvented era after era, of two souls finding each other again and again, through time and space, and see it sounds ever so cheesy when I say it but hell. It's just that good.

...we're just a handful of Wat/Geoff 'shippers, but I think that what we don't have in numbers we make up for in love and dedication. Clearly.

Okay, did that scare you off?

It would take a lot to scare me off, never you fear! However bad you think you are I'll always think I'm worse.

I'm going to have to grab my DVD and watch it again. I could kinda see it before, enough that when I came across AKT slash that is what I would read, but I was intrigued, like I said. Wanted to know more. Didn't realize there was entirely so MUCH more.

So I, uh. Guess I'll get back to you. =p

So, so much more. I'm ecstatic that you got into those stories. I need to watch the film again, too, and I keep pushing it off. Bad me.

Omg I missed it ! Am I to late for this meme or can I prepare my list ;p ?

Go on, list away! It's never too late.

Aow, thank you. I won't be bad. Just 2. Make me smile : )
- Dan from Sports Night.
- Josh from TWW.
(seems I'm in a sorkin mood today...)

Dan. Oh, my god, Dan. Dannydannydanny. Why do I love him? It starts with Josh Charles, who is an amazing actor and who I loved in Dead Poets' Society, he was a wonderful Knox. And there are actors like that, I just can't help feeling for their characters, whoever they are, so so much. Like Jude Law, or Paul Bettany. I'll always feel for them to a crazy extent (except if their roles are meant to really be antipathic, of course, I'm thinking Road to Perdition or... okay I can't find any example for Paul, even as a freaky bad guy I felt for him).

Anyway, I'm digressing! The point is that Josh Charles could break me with a look, a line, anything, I loved Dan sososo much. I never felt the same way for Casey, although I love Peter Krause. Dan was my boy, no question, and I can't even really say why because I haven't seen the show in ages, absolute ages, but god, he just got to me. And, Eli's coming, you know? That was Dan, all Dan, and I want to cuddle him. Dannnydannydanny. I need to see SN again.

Josh is, well, pretty much the same. I love Bradley Whitford, he's an amazing actor. And his character is just so very endearing, I love his interaction with Donna, the friendship and the love, and I love his friendship with Sam, and he makes me laugh so much, like Dan, and he's such a loser with women in pretty much the same way Dan was, and he's so passionate, both of them are, again, and god how he can break me with a look, too. He's funny and he cares and he's a great friend and he's so very far from perfect and I love him. All of which can be applied to Dan too, yes.

So, Sorkin mood, huh? Did you hear about Studio 60? Because OMFG I CAN'T WAIT! Bradley Whitford and Matthew Perry and Sarah Paulson and so many other good actors and I've started reading the pilot's script and it's so good and amazing and ooooooh Aaron how I've missed you. I can't wait.
