OPT 15

[amelia_petkova]

I've seen people doing this meme and it looks like fannish fun, which is the most addictive of all.Pick up to 15 OTPs. Describe them in 15 words or less. Have your flist guess the OTP.Warning: some may be a bit obscure. Most can be found in my tags and interests lists.

1. She's different each time but he still loves her.(Guwinneth/Stephen or Christian; Mythago Wood)
2. He never understands her metaphors or geneaology.(Taran/Eilonwy; The Prydain Chronicles by lotesseflower)
3. He thwarts her plans; she tries to kill him.(Gwydion/Achren; The Prydain Chronicles)
4. He is the only one who remembers the harp and the sword.(Will/Bran; The Dark is Rising Sequence by lotesseflower)
5. She wanted to stay human for him.(the Unicorn aka Amalthea/Prince Lir; The Last Unicorn by littlelotte)
6. He let her believe he was dead but she forgave him.(Westley/Buttercup; The Princess Bride by littlelotte)
7. He owns a pet shop; he's a cop. They always argue.(Count D/Leon; Petshop of Horrors)
8. She tries to kill his wannabe girlfriend.(Tinkerbell/Peter Pan; Peter Pan)
9. No matter cruel words, blindness and death, they can't stay apart.(Richard/Alec; Swordspoint series)
10. She is his selkie, his white lady, but never wholly his.(Christabel/Ash; Possession)
11. Love need not be romantic to reach across 300 years.(Tamsin and Jenny; Tamsin by Peter S. Beagle)
12. Things might have gone better if he hadn't given her drugged fruit.(Jareth/Sarah; Labyrinth by littlelotte and lotesseflower)
13. Despite affairs and rebellions, their love was one for the history books.(Henry II/Eleanor of Aquitaine)
14. She went to the roof of the world for him.(Gerda/Kai; "The Snow Queen")
15. He brought her back with a book and a wish.(Bastian/the Childlike Empress; The Neverending Story by littlelotte)
This was easier than I expected it to be. In fact, I had too many! (I think I love this meme.) I was surprised to realize how many are slash. Though I still wish I had been able to come up with something for The Winter Prince.

5 or 10 is Last Unicorn, 6 is Princess Bride, 12 is Labyrinth, and 15 is Neverending Story. I think.

That is, Prince Lir and Amalthea, Westley and Buttercup, Jareth and Sarah, and Bastian and the Childlike Empress?

I should have known that somebody with the LJ nickname of the Childlike Empress would have gotten number 15!

I really want to know the selkie one! I adore selkie lore.

[amelia-petkova.livejournal.com]

Hee. Actually, you do know it. Hint: novel adapted to movie.

Selkies are fantastic.

Guesses:

2 = Taran/Eilonwy
4 = Will/Bran
12 = Jareth/Sarah
14 = Alanna/Jon? (are you even in that fandom?)

14 = Alanna/Jon? (are you even in that fandom?)

Close but no cigar. Alanna/Jon is entertaining for a little while but in the end, it has to be George. I'd forgotten that they use the phrase "roof of the world" in the fourth book!

ITA with the George love (le sigh). I'm currently browbeating my Boy into reading these, so they're rather on my mind of late!

I think I started reading that series (my first for Tamora Pierce) in junior high. I really need to re-read the fourth book. I can't believe those first books are older than us!
