Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I like Stiles' Dad, too. And I love the vet. Scott's mom is cute. Yeah, there are some good older-than-teen characters.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

UGH. I thought the Avengers fandom was relatively free of portmanteaux but no. Just came across "Clintasha" for Clint/Natasha. It's a fungly word! Why would you want to apply it to your shiny pairing? Would it break your wrist to type those three extra letters?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Why not just go with Nint if you're going to smoosh things?

I'm pretty sure I've seen Thoki. Also, Brony outside of a MLP:FIM context.

And, of course, Stony.

Not as much Cloki as I would expect, though.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Thoki.

I am so thankful the friend who writes Thor/Loki hates portmanteaux.

YOU ARE NOT HELPING!

I haven't seen any of those, probably because I haven't been reading wildly in the fandom. Clearly, fandom is not going to change to accommodate my (very sensible and right-thinking) hatred of all portmanteaux, so I'll have to find... one of those Doctor Who perception filter key thingies so that I can Marcie the damn things out of my life.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I always think of Vonnie when I think of portmanteaux!

TW has Martouf. Or, you know, J.R. Bourne, who played Martouf on SG:1. Also Col. Tighe, but I don't think you're aiming that old. As with most shows, the over-teen characters are kinda thin on the ground.

I dunno, it actually feels like it's got more over-teen characters with development and depth than most teen shows. Coach is awesome, for example.

Bourne's pretty cute. And I'll keep and eye out for Coach when I inevitably break down and check out fandom's new shiny.

I always read "Thorki" as "Thorgi": [link]

That's because I've been ranting about them for 10 years, which is basically how long I have been a Buffista! Not that anybody listens or anything. /bitter

On the Derek slash front, I could actually see them doing something with Derek/Jackson since he was forever surprising the latter in locker rooms and showers back in season 1. Though realistically I'm surprised Jackson could break away from his ongoing love affair with his own reflection long enough to date Lydia.
