were_lemurOr, everyone needs one pairing that's utter and absolute crack.
All joking aside, I'm really not an OTP kind of girl. There are a lot of pairings in a lot of fandoms that I'll happily read. In Star Wars alone, there's Han/Leia, Luke/Mara, Anakin/Palpatine, and if I could find Han/Lando, Leia/Mara, Zam/Jango, or Dengar/Manaroo I would happily read any of those, too. I've also written Yoda/Yaddle.
And somehow, I've gotten unreasonably attached to Mace/Qui-Gon.
Unlike the other pairings (well, maybe not Leia/Mara, which is probably why it doesn't exist) which make a certain amount of sense, Mace/Qui-Gon really just -- doesn't. They've got about two scenes together, adding up to maybe five minutes of shared screen time. Maybe. During that time, they pretty much ... disagree. That's about it. No long, significant glances. No almost-casual touches that last just a moment too long.
No subtext whatsoever.
Really, you can blame it all on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amchau. She was talking about the rare pairings she liked, and Mace/Qui-Gon was one of them. The thread's since been locked, but she was talking about them more as being the tension of opposites, where I saw them as more a comedic odd-couple situation.
Then I got a plot bunny, for the aforementioned Yoda/Yaddle fic, and put in a throwaway line about Qui-Gon being jealous if Yoda propositioned Mace.
Somehow, as these things do, the notions mutated. And now I'm stuck with an absolutely cracky pairing in my head. One that, apparently, I cannot write porn for to save my life.
My brain: crack checks in, but it doesn't check out.
