The fighters you ask? Well, the contenders for my personal OTP are as follows:
In the corner of candy and moose we have: Gabriel the Archangel/Sam Winchester(Supernatural)
In the Red, White, Blue and Gold corner we have: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark(Marvel Avengers)
Annnd
In the final corner made of tea and deductions we have: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson(BBC Sherlock, Movie!Sherlock)
You see my problem? All three of these pairs are perfection, they’re warring for the spot of OTP in my head. As of yet I still can’t think of the winner.
Gabriel/Sam is my first OTP, the first pairing I’d found that was so beautiful and perfect, if not canon. It was my first and only OTP for a long time but now…
I’ve found Steve/Tony, which is amazing on so many levels. I adore Tony Stark, he is my absolute favorite character of all time in any fandom and Steve is adorable/awesome. Not to mention this pair is almost canon, is so close to canon it actually hurts sometimes. Like seriously, Marvel printed an AU Avengers world where Tony Stark was born a female, became Iron Woman, was named Natasha Stark and married Captain America/Steve Rogers. Married. Yeah, exactly.
But on the other hand, Sherlock/John is the original slash pair, the original stories were as slashy as the time period allowed and they would have ended up married if the time period wasn’t so against gays. And I just adore them so much, especially the BBC Sherlock universe of them. Their connection is so powerful in the show, seriously, it’s screaming at fans.
So, yeah. War Zone. I don’t even know what to do. Probably won’t ever be able to pick just one. Guess I can have a three-way OTP tie? I suppose I’ve got no other choice in the matter. ;) Still, it’s annoying, having so many OTPs at once can hurt. Like an overload of perfect-ness. If such a thing is possible. lol.
Anyway, this has been another Random Post.
