Pairing Meme Gacked from Everyone
Feb. 20th, 2005 12:20 pm1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Severus/Remus. It was one of the first pairings I stumbled on, and it just made so much sense to me. And since I was a fan of both characters involved, it was almost natural for me to fall into it. Through all the years I've been in this fandom, it has remained my favorite pairing.
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Sirius/Severus. I was very much against the pairing in the beginning, just based on the personalities and relationship of the two characters. I had a friend who loved it, but I was staunchly against it. I tried reading fics, but I couldn't find any that I felt were IC. Then I finally read one that made sense to me. I can't for the life of me remember who it was by, but it was bitter and vindictive and angry. Which is how I view the pairing. A few more well done fics, and I was hooked. Now I even write it myself.
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: I have to pick just one? I'd have to say, right now, it would be Snape/Harry. That seems to be the pairing at the moment, and I just can't get into it. I didn't mind it in the beginning, but I just can't see it anymore. There's too much hate, and it's not the hate with affection underneath. I can definitely see them getting past that, but not to form a relationship.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: I don't think I have one, actually. The closest I can think of is Lucius/Remus, but I don't know anyone who hates it.
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: Ron/Draco. Used to love it, not so much anymore. I don't like Draco that much anymore, though, so I think that has a lot to do with it.
