Snagged from kellifer_fic .

Pick up to 15 OTPs.
Describe them in less than 15 words (or so).
Have your flist guess the OTP.

Here are my 15 favorite pairings. I have no idea if I have made them too vague or too easy, but it was fun trying to sum up a relationship in so few words! 

1. He feels more, sitting next to her in a waiting room, than he has his entire life. terranlily  (Andrew Largeman/Sam)

2. When she looks at him just right, he actually forgets to think for a while. codo1019  (Keller/McKay)

3. She lost him once to weakness of will.  This time, she listens only to her heart. bristow1941  (Anne Elliot/Captain Wentworth)

4. Star-crossed is cruelly accurate.  Most days it looks like stars are all they’ll ever share. lanna_kitty  (Jack/Sam)

5. For someone who loves words just as much as she does, he’s annoyingly monosyllabic. beanpot  (Rory/Jess)

6. Their story started like most: with a bite to the face. lanna_kitty  (Paris/Torres)

7. Ruffling his feathers may be her favorite pastime. Other than long walks, of course. divinejoker  (Darcy/Elizabeth)

8. Space is chaotic, and out here her quirks are the only things that make sense to him. cnidarian   (Reynolds/Novak)

9. Who else would spend the night with him on a beet farm just for kicks? beanpot  (Jim/Pam)

10. Flesh usually only gets in her way, but she never wants to see his base structure. wanderingsmith  (Booth/Brennan)

11. His family is rich. Hers is crazy. Maybe it’s no surprise that they’re both addicts.

12. This raw, beautiful land stole her family, but gave her him in exchange. holdouttrout  (Cora/Hawkeye)

13. She fell in love with him over corpses.  He’s the only one who can see the romance in that. codo1019  and bristow1941  (Grissom/Sara)

14. She’s a diplomat.  He’s a soldier.  Maybe it makes sense that they disagree on everything.lanna_kitty  (Weir/Caldwell)

15. He’s been around long enough to know it’s doomed.  She always makes him forget. pataka02  (Buffy/Angel)

I'm always scared to do these, cause I always think I'm gonna be wrong. In this case though... I'll take a shot that #7 is Darcy and Elizabeth.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

I totally know what you mean! But you are spot on. Ah, Darcy and Lizzie. Can't get enough of those two. :D

6) paris/torres?

4) sam/jack

14) I can think of a ship you don;t ship for this one....least I dont think you ship weir/sheppard...edit:L weir/caldwell?

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Correct, correct, and (edit) correct! ;)

I can never forget my love of Paris and Torres. *sigh* I need to go back and rewatch some old episodes. :)

And Weir/Caldwell, it's weird, I know, but they just get me every time.

[codo1019.livejournal.com]

9 has to be Dwight Schrute and Angela Martin.
5-Sam and Jack?

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

9-very close, but not quite. :)
#4 is actually Sam and Jack. #5 is a different show all together.

As I wrote these I began to wonder if all my ships were the same. lol

[bristow1941.livejournal.com]

3. Anne Elliot / Frank Wentworth in Persuasion

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Correct!

Ah, Captain Wentworth, how you shiver my timbers.

[codo1019.livejournal.com]

Ok, one more try then I give up.
13 Sara/Grissom

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Correct! I still think one of my favorite scenes with them was when they were working a double chainsaw massacre and she looks over at him and says, "This reminds me of the first time we met." Hahah. Love.

[codo1019.livejournal.com]

Forget it, too late. Now I give up.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

More like perfect timing, I would say. :)

[serafine-fic.livejournal.com]

Left field guesses - I am sure these are wrong, but here goes...

8 - Crichton/Aeryn - Farscape?
15 - Twilight, Edward/Bella???

by the way - I LOVE the description of Sam/Jack. It is quite possibly perfect.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

#8 is a bizarre and very personal ship. lol. of all of them here, the least canonical. I suppose that is cheating. snerk.

And for #9, it's not Twilight, but subject-wise you are pretty close. I think this might have been my first OTP, before I even knew what that meant.

[beanpot.livejournal.com]

9 is Pam/Jim!

And 5 is Rory/jess.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Correct! :D

I have been obsessed with Rory/Jess fic lately.

[surreallis.livejournal.com]

Heh! I see beanpot got 9, which I was all like, 'OMG, Jim/Pam! The beet farm episode!'

Is 8 Daniel/Vala?

-Oop, sorry! Edited because I meant 8, not 10. I went to the wrong side of the 9.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Haha! I still can't believe they actually spent the night out on Dwight's farm. Creepiest thing ever. Lol.

#8 is a totally obscure pairing that I may have been one of the only people in the universe to write. :)

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

Is 9 Jim/Pam?

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

Hee. Whoops. Everyone else already guessed it!

[codo1019.livejournal.com]

2 Keller/Mckay?

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Correct! *gives you a gold star*

[wanderingsmith.livejournal.com]

love your griss/sara! (and YAY, at least one other out there! :))
rory/jess: lool!

I am crap at guessing these things but I'll try
#10
booth bones?

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Yay, GSR! I only ever wrote one GSR fic, but they have always been one of my favorites.

As for #10...correct! I probably should have said 'bones' in the description, but I thought that was way too obvious. Lol.

[terranlily.livejournal.com]

I'd like to take a poke at #1... I'm not sure if this would be what you actually meant, but your description certainly fits Andrew and Sam from Garden State. (Funny. I was just discussing this movie with co-workers yesterday.)

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly! I love that movie. And I love them, because they are both nuts, but just *get* each other.

[cnidarian.livejournal.com]

Random stab - is #8 Reynolds/Novak?

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

ha! holdouttrout just told me to come over here and guess Reynolds/Novak after she quoted that prompt at me...

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

12. Hawkeye/Cora. Only I'm probably wrong now, because you are EVIL.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

WRONG!

[funkyinfishnet.livejournal.com]

Love these so much. I adore 14 cos I am a big Weir/Caldwell shipper. I've only found one perfect fic of them and I treasure it. Also I adore 4 and 15 and 8. Thanks for the reminders of the wonder :)

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Yay! Someone else who loves Weir/Caldwell. And I think I know what fic you are talking about (of course). Like Barely Bending, I am assuming. :)
