Have You Ever...

Have you ever shipped a couple because you think they deserve each other? I'm not talking about a "They're so wonderful! They deserve happiness!" kind of way, but rather the "I vehemently dislike them both. I hope that the sex is terrible and that they eventually kill one another after living a long and miserable life together" kind of way. I have that a lot in a lot of different fandoms. Shoujo Kakumei Utena has that several times for me. *glares at Touga and Utena*

On a more positive note, have you ever shipped Spike/Harmony? I have, and I have to tell you... If you let it be AU, and if you never let Spike go back to Sunnydale or sober up, he and Harmony are an adorable couple. I've got this ancient fic floatin' around about how they first met, and you know, I like it. They are like a vampire Barbie and Ken. You put him back on "a mission" though, and he turns into a right bastard of a boyfriend from hell... and yet, Harmony's not even remotely scared of him when he throws his tantrums. She giggles at him when he gets all puffed up and manly. Isolated, those two work 'cause he's needy, she's needy, and they can be obscenely cute together... However, allow either one to talk too much and it's all over. Hell, at times, Harmony's more perceptive than Spike is... and actually a little bit smarter about staying out of danger. Give that some time to roll around in your brain; it'll give you a migraine. XD

I can see Spike/Harmony in a wacky comedic context.

I want to see how they got together in the first place.

No way, dude. Harmony/Riley is where it's at!

I could see that working. Also Harmony/Clem... which the comics have friendzoned.

Warren/Willow?

Nah I'd never be that cruel, not even to Warren.

I'm working on a fic in which Harmony and Wes babysit Spike *embarrassed cough*

See... in this fic, after being chipped, Spike turned up in LA, and Angel took him in. But Angel also couldn't have Spike running about wreaking havoc in LA, even with the chip, so, he decided to take Spike in hand...

But somebody has to look after the brat while Angel is in all those meetings! Cue Harmony. Imagine the humiliation of being babysat by your ex-girlfriend. Especially if your ex-girlfriend is Miss Perky. This fic is from Wes's POV, as he becomes aware that something weird is going on, and gradually gets pulled into the weirdness.

I can't wait to read this! It's perfect!

Spike/Harmony (of course) works for me! Mostly because I can't figure out which of them I feel sorriest for. It's like real life that way, you know?

It's hard for me to ship Angel with anyone, but when I do, it's always with the hope that he'll be miserable-er.

Too true! XD

Oh, Angel, I love him, but... Sigh, he makes it very, very, very, very, very difficult to do so.

Yes! This is partly why Lindsey/Angel is my OTP.

Agreed about Spike/Harmony. I thought they were a great pairing.
