a) Really, that's a lot of why I love their story right there, how they completely ignored and distained each other on principle/prejudice before they were forced to get to know each other. They *never* would've given each other a chance in other circumstances. And it's just so damned TRAGIC. Tragedy, tragedy, she's dying, they only have so long together, blah blah. *angst, angst*
What was the "cut the wire" thing? And there was the original SSWA, and smashing up the (oops! rented!) model ship, which I think was my favorite story for the lulz. Any other cool ones?
Heeee, yeah, Picard and Crusher. Um, I'm having a hard time coming up with a list, but seriously, ask Cath. I have a reputation for having a soft spot for cute old people getting together -- like, when it's an option, I tend to ship it. The symbolic first (my first moment of fandom at all, actually) was when my mom showed me a '69 rom com called Cactus Flower, expecting me to be totally enchanted by the very young (and admittedly very charming) Goldie Hawn in her first movie role, and instead I went utterly batshit over Ingrid Bergman, who was about 54 at the time. She and Walter Matthau (49) got together, and I luv luv loved it [squee, squee] (although I wasn't particularly crazy about WM).
