Couple-ish Meme

[kerravonsen]

Meme that's going around, from vilakins and others.

Name your 15 favourite couples (het/slash/friendship) and ask people to see what trends they notice. Try to pick different fandoms.

Trying very hard to pick different fandoms; I didn't completely succeed.

1. Jim & Blair (The Sentinel)
2. Jack & Daniel (Stargate)
3. Avon & Vila (Blake's 7)
4. Avon/Cally (Blake's 7)
5. Methos & Joe (Highlander)
6. Frodo & Sam (The Lord of the Rings)
7. Spock/Uhura (Star Trek XI)
8. Cordelia/Aral (Vorkosiverse)
9. Elizabeth/Darcy (Pride & Prejudice)
10. Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane (Lord Peter novels)
11. 7th Doctor & Ace (Doctor Who)
12. 10th Doctor & Donna (Doctor Who)

Couples with strongly contrasting personalities.

Couples where both have different areas of competence; where respect has to be earned, but is fierce once it's obtained.

Opposites but with strong personalities

Hm. I'd say it's mostly partnerships of equals. Some would say that's not true of Avon & Vila, but I think Vila has more power there than is generally acknowledged.

And Snape/Anya would have made it onto my list if I'd had a couple more slots, but I was trying not to repeat fandoms too much.
