Big Barda.

Yes!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

A. That she's a badass.

B. That she's dead/died :(.

C. Aside from Scott ;). Her and Wonder Woman would be interesting. I think Diana's "fighting for peace" schtick and Barda's "fighting for fighting" would make them a great odd couple.

D. I suppose Faith would be too pat a response, because Faith is like a creamy nougat center... she improves anything. Continuing on the BtVS thread, Barda/Xander would be too Xander/Anya, only Barda would not let Xander get away with any of the shit he pulled. "No, Xander, we are getting married."

So I'll say Galen/Starkiller from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. She would be able to emphasize with being trained to do the Dark Side's bidding and eventually rebelling against it, and it'd be fun if she weren't the crazy-aggressive one in the relationship. "No, Galen, you can't Force-lightning Jawas! Stop it!"

E. Star Trek reboot. Barda, head of security. Number of intruders getting onboard on her shift: 0. Number of minutes after she'd gone off-shift that Kirk is wearing pants: 0

F. Everything's better with Barda. Ignoring the obvious nobody-would-get-along-with-them ships like, say, the Powerpuff Girls (although Barda and Buttercup would be a team-up for the ages), I'd say Angel from Buffy. She'd never be able to put up with his moping. "Oh, boohoo, I slaughtered the innocent. I curbstomped worlds. You don't see me crying about it."

G. Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston. She also sings a 'ballad of ass-kicking' that Scott wrote about her while drunk.

H. 'My Mega-Rod Hungers For Your Blood: My life in words' or 'Eat. Pray. Mega-Rod.' Whatever it is, she will go on Oprah and be extremely disappointed it's not a ruckus like the Jerry Springer show.

I. She was on Apokolips, executing a young slave for disobedience. She knew without asking that his name was Scott.

J. In the heat of battle, thirty seconds after Scott dies, two seconds after putting her Mega-Rod through his killer's heart, five seconds before her Mega-Rod self-destructs. The Justice League names the crater after her.

I read subject lines! And post in the wrong places!

B. Maybe she isn't? Final Crisis made things weeeeeird.

E. I think the Kirk-pants thing would be true for any woman. He's a little easy.

F. AHAHAHAHA BUTTERCUP AND BARDA. And yeeeah, she'd never put up with Angel.

I. :( Poor Barda!

J. That sounds badass enough.

Leonard McCoy

a. My favorite thing about that character. - He's very down to earth and never loses sight of the people. Kirk and Spock can go on about science and politics, but McCoy's a doctor, not a starship captain!

b. My least favorite thing about that character. - He is, if not bigoted, then at least awfully insensitive to the effect his words are likely to have on people. It makes me wonder what his childhood was like.

c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse. - Uh... hmmm... I suppose if Seven of Nine traveled around in quantum space to investigate this strange alternate reality, sparks flying between her and McCoy would be the thing of legends.

d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. - Again, hmmm... I don't know why I see Bones as so asexual, considering he's such a pimp in canon. I guess Rogue from the X-Men. Of course, it was just a simple injection of Bevarian frog derivative that gave her control over her abilities... he doesn't understand why she's so grateful.

"Aw, shucks, Doc, it has more to do with you being cuter than a cat in a cupcake!"

"Even I don't know what that means!"

e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater. - Lost. I imagine the phrase "Are you out of your damned mind?" would get tossed around a lot and none of this love quadrangle nonsense would be going on with McCoy as sheriff.

f. Their ship from hell. - Spock, obviously.

g. Their song. - Any Willie Nelson, so long as he's drunk.

h. The title of their biography or autobiography. - I'm A Doctor: 100 Cures They Don't Teach You At Med School.

i. The last bad dream they had. - He comes back from the five-year mission to find Joanna is an old woman.

j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. - A plague is sweeping Rigel III. Bones thinks he has a vaccine, but there isn't time to test it. He takes it himself. It doesn't work, but it points his colleagues in the right direction.

a. My favorite thing about that character. - She's completely passionate and open, only...

b. My least favorite thing about that character. - ...she tends to be too self-sacrificing and eager-to-please. Her relationship with Dick would probably work out better if she made fewer allowances for him and forced him to look at her as an equal.

c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse. - Dick, obviously.

d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. - Gaila from Star Trek XI? I'm just imagining all the crazy sexy crime-fighting adventures they would get into.

e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater. - I'm going to kneejerk Star Wars. She'd love being in the Rebellion, fighting the Empire, a boy and a girl in every port...

f. Their ship from hell. - Bruce Wayne. Think the worst moments of her relationship with Dick, minus the redeeming Graysonness.

g. Their song. - She sings along whenever a Gwen Stefani song comes on the radio.

h. The title of their biography or autobiography. - Me And My Dick (the publisher retitled it)

i. The last bad dream they had. - Dick bought her from the Gordanians. He was a worst master than they ever were, because she knew she could fall in love with him if he would just stop being... him.

j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. - In bed, surrounded by grandkids, ten years after her husband Dick dies. Her people never quite understand why she never took a new lover.

Not really a fan, but...

a. My favorite thing about that character. - Fishnets :)

b. My least favorite thing about that character. - Her taste in men.

c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse. - Barbara Gordon!

d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. - I know it's a cliche, but after Barbara's control-freak tendencies, Emma Frost's control-freak tendencies would be refreshing.

e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater. - Watchmen. I think it would really make her stand on her own two feet and seeing kind of the endgame of some of the choices others like her have made would be enlightening.

f. Their ship from hell. - Ollie. Full stop.

g. Their song. - Tracy Chapman: Fast Car.

h. The title of their biography or autobiography. - "The Fishnets Are Part Of The Costume."

i. The last bad dream they had. - "Barbara, I dreamt that Ollie kidnapped my adopted daughter and faked her death without my knowledge and I married him!"

j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. - Well, if she keeps up with Ollie, probably an STD.

Sorry this took so long

a. My favorite thing about that character. - She always has the last word on anything.

b. My least favorite thing about that character. - She can't or won't comprehend that the ends don't always justify the means, or that she can make concessions without compromising herself. (And lazy writers keep hinting at a heel turn, but that isn't her fault.)

c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse. - Other than Scott? Jean.

d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. - Saffron from Firefly. It would fun trying to figure out who has the faultier moral compass.

e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater. - DC, of course. God, would she ever cut Ollie down to size (before walking out with Dinah, possibly Roy too).

f. Their ship from hell. - Emma/Logan? Apparently this is an OTP due to Wolverine and the X-Men. WRYYYY!?

g. Their song. - Mozart's Requiem. It helps her relax when everything else in the mansion is NOISENOISENOISE. She also hums Lacrimosa to herself when she's particularly proud of her awesomeness.

h. The title of their biography or autobiography. - I, X-Woman.

i. The last bad dream they had. - She wakes up one morning and everyone trusts her, Kitty trusts her, Scott trusts her (which is an entirely different thing from loving her, she knows). She doesn't notice until she looks in the mirror that she has red hair.

j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. - Saving Kitty in the heat of battle. She doesn't have time to get over her own surprise before she dies.

a. Yup, can't help but love that about her.

d. This, I'd love to see!

e. *sigh* Dinah/Emma is somewhere in my busted laptop...

f. Yeah, W&XM has some strange OTPs.

i. Chilling!
