Matchup #4

[canadian-plant.livejournal.com]

Another awesome pairing from DS9, my favourite Star Trek series. I give you

Kira Nerys/Odo
♥

Kira Nerys is a Bajoran. Formally a member of the resistence during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, she is now the liason officer on Deep Space Nine. She's strong, she's competent, and she takes her religion very seriously. (portrayed by Nana Visitor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000684/).)

Odo long thought he was one of a kind. Found floating in space as an infant (which is totally possible when your natural form is goo), he was studied in a Bajoran lab until he matured enough to be able to mimic the humanoid form. 'Odo' literally means 'unknown sample' in the Bajoran language. Odo has been chief of station security on Deep Space Nine since before Starfleet was given control. (Portrayed by Rene Auberjonois (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0041281/).)

These two are unabashedly adorable. They hold hands and dance and just act like two romantics in love - which I had neither of them pegged as, before. Both can seem rather strict and standoffish, yet somehow you bring them together and they are so sweet. At one point Odo says that he wishes he could be religious, just so he could spend more time with Kira by going to temple with her. Which may seem stalkery out of context, but I swear was cute. In the end he goes back to join his people, which gives them that bittersweet flavour that makes it all the more romantic.

Not to mention, since Odo's natural form is gelatinous - he's a Changeling - there are a lot of, uh, rather kinky implications, fic-wise. I mean, he can be anything. If that sways your vote at all.
