WHY HALLO THAR.

This journal is my terrible hiding place for all my fannish activities, with very scant IRL entries. Friend away, if you want!

( Table of Malcontents )

Title: Hospitality
Fandom: Mad Men
Pairing: Don/Trudy/Pete
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~2,500
Summary: Don catches ill, and Trudy nurses him back to health in her own, um, special way.

Title: Screwball
Fandom: Mad Men

Summary: The ballad of Ken and Allison wouldn’t fill a page. Fitful romance, written in the margins of composition notebooks. Takes place over the entire MM run, so spoilers for Season 3 finale.

Title: Office Wife
Fandom: Mad Men
Characters: Pete + Hildy (gen)
Rating: PG
Summary: "He may act like he wants a secretary, but most of the time they're looking for something between a mother and a waitress." Sometimes, even Pete Campbell gets it right.

( Peggy shows up at the hotel bar wearing a strapless coral number )

Instead of doing more productive things, I'm filling out the pairing survey for my most recent fandoms, in reverse chronological order.

Mad Men

OTP: Pete/Peggy like burning. The first exposure I ever had to Mad Men was Pete's infamous "hunting" monologue to Peggy, and that exchange told me everything I needed to know about their relationship -- power differentials, a certain professional respect, gory fantasies, nostalgia for something that might have never existed, and of course, delicious repression. That got me hooked on the series, so if it *weren't* for those two, I wouldn't be an MM fan!
Runner-up: Pete/Don. Pete/Trudy. I adore Pete and will ship the little shit with anybody.
Honorable mention(s): Sal/Ken. Don/Joan, because although Don as a character does not excite me, the combination of those two would burst the universe with hotness.
Crack pairing(s): Roger/Don. Pete/Hildy. Pete/Joan.
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Don/Betty. I understand that their marriage receives the most attention of all the romantic relationships in the series, but they bore me.

South Park

OTP: Stan/Kyle. I'm such a traditionalist.
Runner-up: Christophe/Kenny (which is a crack pairing but I heartilation the Mole).
Honorable mention(s): Craig/Tweek, Wendy/Cartman, Craig/Stan, Wendy/Bebe.
Crack pairing(s): Kenny/Kyle, Christophe/Kyle, Craig/Christophe, Craig/anyone but Clyde, Kenny/Kyle/Stan.
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Butters/Kenny. Cartman/Butters. Cartman/Kyle, because I cannot see Kyle consenting to any sort of relationship with Cartman. They blunt-force hate each other, with no subtle understanding or similarities in character to offset the hostility.

Merlin

OTP: Merlin/Arthur, because, duh, the only reason I watched this show was because I was promised gay subtext.
Runner-up: Gwen/Morgana.
Honorable mention(s): Morgana/Uther, unf.
Crack pairing(s): You know what, just about everyone on this show is slashable with everyone else... Er, Merlin/Lancelot?
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I violently flinch at Morgana/Arthur, even though I enjoy their mutual teasing and I think they have more romantic tension that Arthur/Gwen.

Star Trek

OTP: Kirk/Spock.
Runner-up: Chekhov/Sulu
Honorable mention(s): Kirk/Spock Prime
Crack pairing(s): Sulu/anybody. I think it's hilarious; I don't know why. Uhura/Bones.
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Kirk/Bones.

Death Note

OTP: Matt/Mello
Runner-up: L/Light
Honorable mention(s): L/Mello
Crack pairing(s): Matt/Near, Ryuuk/Light
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Near/Mello

Metal Gear Solid

OTP: Big Boss/Ocelot
Runner-up: Snake/Otacon
Honorable mention(s): one-sided Raiden/Snake, Boss/EVA, Volgin/Raikov, Ocelot/Raikov, Sniper Wolf/Big Boss
Crack pairing(s): Snake/box
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: well, I don't think many people actually like Rose (or Rose/Raiden by extension), so I'll say Meryl/Snake. Vamp/Raiden also does nothing for me.

Title: i'll make you a deal
Fandom: Mad Men
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Pete and Trudy Campbell spend a morning of penitence. Spoilers for "The Souvenir."

Cane Miro: I'll make you a deal. I won't try to make you a bad woman, if you stop trying to make me a good man.
Marshal Rose Hood: You're not bad, you're just no good.

you are steelblue #4682B4

Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.
