taken from solo:

Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

Seishiro/Subaru (Tokyo Babylon/X-1999 - slash)
Gooseman/Niko (Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers - het)
Tatsumi/Tsuzuki (Yami no Matsuei - slash)
Chakotay/Janeway (StarTrek Voyager - het)
O'Neill/Carter (StarGate SG-1 - het)
Morgaine/Vanye (The Morgaine Quadrology - het, canon)
Darkness/Frost/Sholto (Merry Gentry series - slash; no idea how to split them into couples!)

These are the few that truly drew my attention to their dynamics.

Hi, (former) Kijin-san. :)

Yes, but it's me who turned Sei-Sub into a work relationship, the canon does not so much (if one discounts the end-of-the-world issue, but really, who'd want to deal with Destiny in the core hours of 9 to 6? *g*).
The "love conquers all" is an illusion in my eyes. Most of the time, "love complicates all" is a lot more realistic. After all, there's a reason why all fairytales end before the girl has to deal with the prince on a daily basis. Serena Gray once wrote a short text about Romeo & Juliet (grown up, married, two kids, obnoxious parents) getting into an argument how to cook eggs... it fits.

“(if one discounts the end-of-the-world issue, but really, who'd want to deal with Destiny in the core hours of 9 to 6? *g*).” Oh gods, I saw it – it would be lot of “nothing personal” dialogs and some anxious inquiries like: “are we still going to the pub this evening?” “no, first I need to visit a hospital…” “oops, sorry” “don’t worry, it was nothing personal” ”don’t forget to take a proper sick leave certificate this time or the accounting bitch will kill you” “before the apocalypse happens?” “do you think she cares???” “guess not…” “man... this job sucks”.

Don't forget:
"Don't do overtime! I won't pay them."
"Your problem. Sunday costs extra anyway."
"There's a union request about updating the health assessment study."
"I told you not to blind Sumeragi. Geez, *men*! I'm outta here. See you on monday."
"Tuesday. Monday's a work assembly about these abysmal basement offices."
"Right. Be seeing you then."
"Bye!"
(faint in the background:) "But the kekkai--"

Hot gossip topics in the Team Earth *:

#1. Kamui from Team Heaven must have slept with the boss, because the kid being the team leader this young? Not likely to happen otherwise.
#2. Statsuki is monitoring staff emails.
#3. With all the cost cutting, board of directors is considering outsourcing the apocalypse (preferably to India or Eastern Europe if they can guarantee exchange rates)


*(the team name was voted after National Environment Agency donated 20 coffee mugs for the staff)

The supervisor committee fires the CEO of Team Earth and his vice for exchanging emails containing company interna with accounts belonging to the rivalling company.
Satsuki gets admonished for violating telecommunications secrecy.
The fiscal department cancels the outsourcing, because the only cost-efficient way of transport would be standardized freight containers by ship (estimated time of transport: 4 months past deadline)

And so everything is back to normal, with ordinary people sleeping peacefully in their beds knowing that if the worst is going to happen, it will happen only during working hours - because even ultimate evil isn't going to bother with unpaid overtime.

This got to be the most mundane solution to the whole apocalypyse!now thingy of X. *giggle*

Hey! Just because it's "working hours only" doesn't mean that staff isn't dedicated, you know. They try their best even if you really shouldn't try to interrupt their lunch hour.

Anyway, that was fun :)

(and unfortunately I am left with the vision of physical workers trying to reconstruct Yamanote Line on some Ukrainian fields)(and yes, they want to sell pieces of it afterwards in the Internet - if people are buying parts of Berlin Wall, why not collect pieces of kekkai? (that of course was marketing department's idea))
