I have a question, have all the brackets gone through at least Round One? Because you mentioned posting Part V of Round 1 but then did the Round 3 and Round 2's so I was wondering when that was coming.

(Is totally asking because all the other brackets are going bust for me pairing wise, and that is like my last hope.)

[shipm-mod.livejournal.com]

It's coming tonight. Round #1s are the most time-consuming and frustrating to get up so I'm taking my time and getting the shorter ones going. But I hope to have the last two Round 1 polls up by Tuesday morning (one tonight and one Monday evening). *crosses fingers*

May I ask what pairing you're hoping will make it?

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

You still have the closing date set as Saturday. ;)

I just did a big clean up of pending comments and claims, so everything is now up-to-date. YAY!

*goes off to vote*

[shipm-mod.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. *smooches*

MATCHUP #4; KATARA/ZUKO!

[rabidline.livejournal.com]

I love Disney and (almost) all of its OTPs, but really, this pairing is where it's at. The character development, the character growth- spanned three seasons long; from enemies to friends, from rivals to allies- Katara/Zuko made all of it work.

Classics are awesome, but face it: VIVA LA REVOLUTION. And lo, if this pairing isn't the latter one.

PICSPAM OF PICSPAMS BECAUSE A COUPLE OF PICTURES ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS SHIP:

BTVS fandom is so intense. I LOVE IT. XD

Match up 6: Haruka/Michiru

[kristenell.livejournal.com]

Come on people! Haruka/Michiru is a classic, it is one of the major yuri couples out there, and let's face it this comp needs more femslash in general, and what better pair then Haruka/Michiru. THey are partners who despite having to dedicate their lives wholly to their mission, still put their love first, who didn't cry at that scene in S where they both "die" or the one in Stars, and they are so quintessential love and so groundbreaking for a lot of people. They are the first couple that I realized was gay, and that it was hot and could work, and that is powerful stuff.

Re: Match up 6: Haruka/Michiru

[limepickles.livejournal.com]

Augh, I know! I always loved them as characters who were more mature than the "main cast" heroines, and Haruka introduced me to the ways of the bifauxnen... I've still gotta vote UlquiHime, but I just want you to know it's (ironically) ripping my heart out!

[enisy.livejournal.com]

ULQUIORRA/ORIHIME (Bleach)

"Yes. She's trash."

"Never have I seen something like this before... What a strange human...! This woman..."

"Only two guards?"

"Wait! You want to talk to me, right?"


"Come with me, woman."

"This is not a negotiation. It's an order."

"...Unexpectedly, it suits you."

"What a strong woman..."

"Aizen-sama told you take care of her, right? So... how far have you taken her 'training'?"
"...Disgusting."

"Here's your meal. Eat."

"Sado-kun is not dead. ...He's not."
"...I am not here to comfort you."

"I don't understand. Why are you so caught up over who lives or dies?"

"...I would simply be filled with anger at the pathetic nature of those losers who
decided to run in here, completely out of touch with reality and their own power."



"If you haven't eaten in an hour, I will restrain you and force you to. That is a promise."

"Uu... uu... uu..."

"What is the meaning of this?"

"In any case, Aizen-sama has entrusted that woman to my care."

"Give her to me."

"Until then, I'm leaving Las Noches to you... Ulquiorra."

"Yes, sir."

"Are you frightened?"

"You are no longer of any use to Aizen-sama. This is the end.
You will die here. All alone. Without being touched by everyone."

"So I'm asking you... are you frightened?"
"I'm not."

"Everyone came to save me. My heart, my spirit... will always be with my friends."

"There might not be a way to feel the exact same thing as someone else, but...
when you care about each other deeply, you can put your heart a little closer to them."

"I'm sure of it now... that's what it means for hearts to beat as one."

"...Heart?"

"You humans speak that word so easily, as though it's something you can hold in your hand.
But this eye of mine is all-perceiving. That which I cannot see does not exist."

"What is a heart? Will I find it if I rip your chest apart?"

"Will I find it if I crack open your skull?"

[enisy.livejournal.com]

ULQUIORRA/ORIHIME (Bleach)

"Get away from her."
"That was my intention."

"Maybe my ability to read your movements means that I've become
more like a Hollow... or maybe... that you've become more human."
"I've... become more like you humans?"

"...I see."


"...What are you doing?"

"Is it because he's your friend? Then why didn't you protect him
from the first blow? What made you hesitate?"
"Th... that's not..."

(looking on sadly as Loly and Menoly rip her clothes...)


"So you came... woman."

"Perfect. Watch closely."

"It's no use. You won't be able to connect his life with
your level of power, even if you do get close to him."

(But she did... with a catch...)


"Stop, Kurosaki-kun!! Kurosaki-kun!!"

(maimed and half-dead, but leaping up at her cries...)


"Tch... it's this bad?"

"And here I was... finally starting to take an interest in you people."

"Woman..."

"...Do I frighten you?"

"No, you don't."

"I see..."


Will I find it if I rip your chest apart? Will I find it if I crack open your skull?
You humans speak that word so easily, as though --




I see...


So this... is it...

This here in my hand...

...is a heart?"

It's like I'm watching an epic masterpiece by the deity of everything epic and I-can't-believe-it's-not-canon-yet covered in glittery rainbows of magic and SMEX. All it's missing is pancakes and it would be perfect.
