What's everyone's favorite pairings?

If you know me at all, you'd know that my OTP of all OTPs is Clef/Umi. -melts- I <3 them.

My second favorite pairing would probably be HikaruEagle, but I usually write Hikaru/Lantis, just because it's easier to write. XDD

If you want to know the turth, I will read pretty much any pairing if it's written well. And yes, that includes both Asmi and Clef/Presea. I've read my share of both.

I also have several strange pet pairings. One is AscotZazu! I happen to know several people who like this as well (Bearit... d o w n...) I also have a soft spot for Lantis/Clef and Caldina/Clef.

...

Yup. I'm very odd.

I am nearly as big of an Umi/Clef fan as Suzanami is Fuu/Ferio fan. 

I have a terrible problem bringing myself to read an Umi/Ascot fic.  Umi with anyone else is difficult for me to stomach.  I had a difficult time with Aikakone's "The Man Who Fell to Earth" for that reason.  Not to mention I am easily amused by anyone named Steve.  (Rogue might have an idea why ^_^)


Also:

Ascot/Presea
Fuu/Ferio
Hikaru/Lantis
Kuu/Eagle

I'm really anal about my MKR pairings. I don't know why.

Fuu/Ferio is my ultimate OTP. Has been since like November 2000. *blush* Yeah... I've been known for that for years. XD Probably will be forevah, and I do not mind one bit. :B Updating the shrine this past month kinda sent me crashing rather violently back into the fandom. I gotta stop getting Fuu/Ferio plot bunnies. It's unhealthy. :o

Fuu/Ferio used to be the most popular pairing a couple years ago, but with all the new blood coming into the fandom, it's changed to Clef/Umi, much to my dismay. I know everyone loves it, but I swear CLAMP was smoking something when they came up with it. I find it absolutely out-of-character in the anime, especially if the feelings are reciprocated. I tried really hard to see it but I cannot. I've read like... two Clemi fics where the interaction between them didn't make my OOC radar go red. I know... everyone disagrees with me. D:
I ship Umi/Ascot more out of it being the alternate than because the pairing makes me wibble, although when it's written really well (which is harder to do than one might think), it does make me smile. ^-^

I hate Hikaru/Lantis as a pairing because she deserves someone with an actual personality. Her feelings all stem from deep-rooted guilt, I say!!! I do like the Lantis/Hikaru/Eagle love triangle of sorts for plot-type reasons. People occasionally handle it SO well.
I like Hikaru/Zazu. I wouldn't wish it in canon, but as an AU or whatever? It amuses me so. Lantis, especially in the anime, makes me want to put him in a field full of puppies and kittens and butterflies playing while "It's a Wonderful World" plays in the background... just to see if the idiot will PRETEND to smile. Or maybe say something less emo and deep. Augh! Hikaru/Lantis my BUTT. XD;

The Caldina/Lafarga pairing came out of NOWHERE, but it works for me. Doesn't do anything for me, but works.

The whole Sierra plot is on crack, and while I find the Presea-in-love-with-Clef thing stupid, I find the Sierra one even more annoying. More than Clemi. ;)

And when I see Primera/Mokona fics, a part of me dies.

I have noticed that Fuu/Ferio is slipping down to second in the Rayearth fandom, but this upsets me for tother reasons.  It means that with the uprise of Umi/Clef  (the term "Clemi" can die for all I care) there are even more sucky fics out there.  I understand that, yes, a number are a bit out of character, and that I have been guilty of it myself. We try.  I takes alot of work to make that relationship work. ^_^ 

I am not too terribly happy with the all of the wide range of Fanfiction.net.  It is so hard to find good fanfiction these days. FFN is more populated with bad fics than it ever has been before. I have given up on it. 

I'm sorry to tell you suzanami, I'm a HUGE fan of HIKARU AND LANTIS! Don't know why, nor do I care. I still think they're meant to be together. I don't really detest Eagle or anything, I just detest him when he's with Hikaru.

The other pairings are okay. I can't imagine Fuu with anyone else but Ferio, though some people might put her with Geo if it suits them. I think Clef/Presea is an okay pairing too. With Umi... I honestly can't decide who to pair her with. I am sort of on the Ascot/Umi side, but if I find a really REALLY good Clef/Umi fic, I might change that. Clef/Umi fics are okay with me though.

I still say Hikaru and Lantis are the best! :D That would just be me though.

~Syv

Wow, you guys kinda make me a little nervous about writing Clemi ^^U

Clemi is the only pairing I really ship in any fandom because I like well-written fics with solid plots more than pairings...so I basically read everything.  Although I totally agree with Milieva, the quality of fic on FF.net is rather...poor.  Someone should really establish a general fanfiction site that's quality screened, although that's a but improbable.

But anyways, its good to see we have a good set of diversity here in terms of pairings and hopefully that will make for some interesting reading ^_^

Attempting to, but my issue in regards to Ascot/Umi fics will be a major draw back. Only time will tell.   I really need to lay off the Rayearth for a while....  It is becoming a problem. 

See, Rea-chan (aka Madoushi_Clef [pick a name and stay with it]).  I told you this was a bad idea.

QuoteLantis, especially in the anime, makes me want to put him in a field full of puppies and kittens and butterflies playing while "It's a Wonderful World" plays in the background...

-dies of laughter- OMG... the mental images...

QuoteI understand that, yes, a number are a bit out of character, and that I have been guilty of it myself.

Woot! I have yet to write a fic with either one of them in character... 'Worth' still makes me CRINGE. Eeeekkk.

QuoteSee, Rea-chan (aka Madoushi_Clef [pick a name and stay with it]).  I told you this was a bad idea.

-sulk- What was a bad idea? The forum? No one's come to blows yet!

-Jams to 'True Light', then realizes that she's on a Rayearth forum- ... Whoops! Sorry 'bout that. -puts on 'Yokan no Kaze'- Ahhh. Better. ^^-

Okay! Pairing time! And don't worry, Suzunami. xD I am so completely overprotective over Fuu. You can ask my lil' sisseh there if you don't believe me. x3 -points at Madoushi_Clef- Hi there. -waves- xD

Alrighty. =D So. My favorite pairing in all of Rayearth HAS to be Ferio/Fuu. Ahh, yes. The ultimate Canon. <3

Other pairings I love happen to include both Asmi and Clemi, Lantis/Hikaru, Lafarga/Caldina, Clef/Presea, Geo/Kuu (Don't ask. xD), Mokona/Primera (Again, don't ask. xD), Zagato/Emeraude, and so on and so forth. x3

I'm not normally overprotective over characters, but there are two exceptions to that little rule of mine. One is Winry Rockbell from FMA, and the other happens to be our very own Fuu Hououji. x3 OKAY! I need to stop getting off topic.

Please excuse my randomness. I'm currently on a sugarhigh, no thanks to Collector's Club earlier today that fed me brownies. >>; Yeeeeah. I'm getting REALLY off topic, I should just quit typing right now. XD

Tell me about it. XD I still have to write that Clemi request for Lil' Sisseh over yonder. -glares at Rae-chan- You. I am going to get you back one of these days for making me write Clemi. Even though I half-like that pairing ..

-tackleglomps Ai-chan- Seeee Milieva... I'm being a good recruiter.? :P

Yesh, my adopted big sisteh over there is a HUGE FuuFerio fan. ^_^ Suzanami might be interested to know that Ai-chan is doing FuuFerio for 30_kisses. Her fics are very good. XD Go read them.

She also likes Asmi better than Clemi... but I still <33333 her. But I still took advantage of the request a fic form that she put up on her profile... So WHAT do you get to write now, Ai-chan? *fangirl giggle*

Yeah, Yeah, she's being an awesome recruiter. ^^ I'm still never going to forgive her for forcing me to write Clemi, though.

Sorry, Rae-chan. D: You might have to wait a while for the Clemi fanfic. I've got a Joshua/Azmaria to write before I get to yours, AND poor Ascot's hard drive crashed. >>; <<; Yes. I named my laptop ASCOT. What of it?

Suzunami - I saw your review, and it made me REALLY happy. ^^ Thank you! <3 I'm glad to know that I'm getting the two in character so far, and I reeeeally hope to have a few more up soon. ^^ Like I said before, my laptop's hard drive recently crashed, so we're awaiting a new hard drive for poor Ascot. ._.; I might just write some more 30 Kisses themes on my mom's computer out of sheer desperation. xD!

Buwahaha. x3 On the Fanfiction.net forums, I completely spazzed at someone who said Fuu wasn't a realistic character. xD And I had so much fun doing it, too. <3

I am an Ascot/Umi fan.

I also like Geo/Zazu

And other genral canon parings.

Sometimes I think you do this kind of thing just to get on my nerves. 

But the Geo/Zazu idea is amusing, but if I was going to pair off anyone from Autozam like that it would be more of a Geo/Eagle bit.  Then again, I always did wonder about every on one that ship.  And Zazu changing Hikaru's Clothes... that was just wrong.  An she was too naive to get it. *face-palm*

*nods* My brother does the same thing. As soon as he watched/read the series and found out that I'm a Clef/Umi lover, he decided that he loved Ascot and that Umi and Ascot were really cute together. *facepalm*

Haha, I'd never thought of Zazu/Geo before... I'm more of a Zazu/Ascot fan, myself... But that could definitely work, now that I think about it.

Zazu/Ascot.  Now that one would be interesting.  Maybe I should swing that way with WIhaA?  ^_^  Now that I think about it though, Zazu and Geo with Tarta and Tatra might be an interesting idea.  I was just think of how we would pair off the remaining characters. 

Zazu/Geo never would've occurred to me because when I was in the fandom before, Geo/Eagle was pretty popular, so it's kinda engrained in my mind.
(I don't like slash/shounen-ai, but the scene in the manga where Geo says Eagle's like Lantis is soooo cuuuute XD)

Zazu/Geo still doesn't quite click with me. Zazu/San-yun, baby. There's the love. *is shot*

*Imagines San-yun wide-eyed looking at Zazu*

*Dies of hysteric laughter*

QuoteZazu/Ascot.  Now that one would be interesting. 

There's actually quite a following of this, considering how odd/unusual/random it is. Bearit and DOWN like it too. DOWN actually wrote one, but she hasn't posted it. *pouts*

I love Geo/Eagle too. I'm actually a very big fan of slash/shounen-ai. I like Lantis/Eagle too. And you don't want me to get into my Clef slash pairings, you really don't. Hmm... Clef/Lantis is my personal favorite... I'm fond of Clef/Eagle too.  

QuoteZazu/San-yun, baby. There's the love. *is shot*

*shoots*

Hehe, just kidding. That's actually an interesting idea for a pairing. I read a Aska/Zazu one once...

Quote from: Madoushi_Clef on March 24, 2006, 01:52:43 AMAnd you don't want me to get into my Clef slash pairings, you really don't.

I read a Clef/Ferio fic once. It was weird.

Weirder still, it was so well-done that I LIKED it.


Then I poured bleach in my eyes.

QuoteI read a Clef/Ferio fic once. It was weird.

XDD Was it written by one of Jadey's friends? I know she likes that pairing.

QuoteWeirder still, it was so well-done that I LIKED it.

Linky, please?

QuoteThen I poured bleach in my eyes.

Why do I get the feeling that I probably shouldn't mention that another one of my recently aquired pet-pairings is Clef/Fuu?

CLEF/FUU. *faints* Such a thing never occurred to me!
Strangely enough, even though MKR is my main fandom (even though it doesn't always show), it's like practically the only one in which I lack crack!pairings like that! XD Ashita no Nadja though? The normal pairings almost bore me. Rosemary/Fernando, I say!

If you do a search for Clef/Ferio in the summary, you'll find it on FFnet... It was very short. I dunno. Maybe I just liked it because Ferio was banging Fuu, and I'm a pushover that way. *does a search* Ah, here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1490071/1/
I forget how to make a text link in this code. D: Help? <- never mind. remembered how. ^^;;

XDD I'm obsessed with crack!pairings! especially in Rayearth. I think it's part rebellion. One thing that annoys me about Rayearth is that the characters never have interaction with any other characters besides one, or maybe two. For instance, Fuu is never seen talking to Lantis, or Clef is never seen talking to Caldina... Fuu/Lantis... Huh.

I <3 Clef/Fuu though. Not necessarily romance, just any kind of interaction. That's why I now heart? 'Well Earned Rest' (a fic of yours I just read). OMG. <33333

... Should I mention that I'm a San-Yun/Aska fan as well? =D

x3 Haha, I love that pairing .. it's so cute .. and it's not very widely recognized .. =/

I like to pair them Aaaaallllll. That way, it's a challenge to write it. And I love challenging myself to make things work. I think my greatest success was a Lafarga/Zagato. Weird, I know, but I did it, and I like it, so nyaaa.

But my favorite pairing? *Coughs*... UmiFuu... Sorry. I am one of those girls that likes girls (that like girls)... I like guys, too, but Girls more.

Waaa. I also adore anything with Caldina. It's harder to find than most would think.


Oh, and for purposes of making myself giggle:

QuoteI think my greatest success was a Lafarga/Zagato.

LMAO. That just made me laugh.

Also... that Asmi fanart is terribly amusing. I really like Umi/Ascot fanart just because they're always so silly, which I find true to the characters' relationship, romantic or platonic. ^__^
I like them together even just as friends, because I think they're so compatible that way.

QuoteBut my favorite pairing? *Coughs*... UmiFuu...

I don't ship them, but I adore their friendship in the manga. We don't see it much in the anime, which makes me sad. D: Because the manga explores the three individual friendships between the knights as well as them as a group... I love Umi/Fuu friendship. Which is why Hikaru doesn't frequent my fics as much... *guilty*

Seriously. I can understand her not being your favorite character, but hating her? They weren't watching the dub when they said that, were they? Because if they were, they aren't entitled to judge the characters.

She may have been. This was before either of us had DVD players, and the store most of our Anime came from was limited to english versions. But she DID have the subbed version, too.... So I dunno...
