1. When I started shipping them
2. What I think their challenge is
3. What makes me happy about them
4. What makes me sad about them
5. What moment I wish had never happened
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
7. My happily ever after for them

Go!

John/Rodney! (and/or John/Meredith)

John/Rodney!

1. When I started shipping them: Hide and Seek, probably. I read McShep fic before I watched the show, but I was like unto a fic vacuum, reading pretty much anything (I even used to read John/Elizabeth, ffs).
2. What I think their challenge is: Uh, like, everything. That's why I love them. They make total sense on a personal level, but everything else is working against them.
3. What makes me happy about them: It just makes me happy when they look at each other and they're all ":D".
4. What makes me sad about them: They're both just, just buttheads, man. They need to be slapped around until they act right, okay?
5. What moment I wish had never happened: The Shrine. Is that bad? The beers-on-the-pier scene became the new citrus allergy and/or Doranda in terms of shit fandom will not let go of, and the end with Keller was just creepy.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don't care who they end up with (unless it's Keller), but I can't stand to break them up. They either have to get together and stay together until they die, or never even make out. It is one or the other.
7. My happily ever after for them: I wanna see them as old men in a home somewhere, all jacked up and broken down, but still alive and still together. Possibly the home is on New Sateda.


John/Meredith!

1. When I started shipping them: Well, I mean, I already shipped them before there was a Mer.
2. What I think their challenge is: They don't know what the hell they're doing! They've never been in a relationship like their one, and they're just kind of fumbling around blindly.
3. What makes me happy about them: They're just so crazy about each other, and I really think they could make it work, too- they're two different propositions, really.
4. What makes me sad about them: Mer makes me sad. :( She and Rodney both are very insecure, but it's a whole lot closer to the surface with Mer, possibly because she's been knocked around more than Rodney.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: Ha! It's my story! I don't have to have one!
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Nobody, dammit!
7. My happily ever after for them: I already know what it is. :D My ideal ending for them is much like my ideal ending for John and Rodney. Except they also have a robot. (Mer built it.)

7. I totally want to see them as old men, even if it's just platonic. It would be so perfect, them being old and cranky and bitching at each other, but still with the love. ♥

5. There are reasons I love that episode, but in terms of the fanfic it spawned, a billion times YES to what you said. Good episode (-the end weirdness), but bad as fic trope.

3. They're such dorks for each other! I love that they play games together -- RC cars, Ancient Civilization, chess. They're buddies.

John/Mer

7. Robot! The other day I reread your fic where Mer got drunk, watched a lot of Gundam Wing, and woke up next to a giant robot. <3
