Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of crying, or not crying, I'm trying to compile a list of my favourite couples of the oughties, and so far I have:

Li Mu Bai and Yu Shu Lien
Zoe and Wash (okay, cheating, because TV first, but still)
Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist

Canonically, I can't think of any happy ever after couples I like. Uncanonically I totally throw Holmes and Watson up on that list, for instance, but I'm trying to play conventionally.

Can I really be that tragic? Anyone remember me liking a couple that both live through the end credits, preferably together?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Eta: Joe would like to add that he does *not* cry during that part. It's allergies.

Joe lies. Joe lies when he cries.

Man. That one was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Well, I think maybe Zoe and Wash are favorites despite the dying, not because of?

They're kinda cheating because I liked them going in. But at least the narrative never pointed to them being doomed. It's a debate as to whether Twist/Del Mar or Li Mu Bai/Yu Shu Lien can be separated from their tragic ends.

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

I really dug Spock/Uhura from the NuTrek after I got over the initial "...wah?" reaction. Can't quite recall if you liked them as well, ita.

Erm. WALL-E and Eve?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can have Spock/Uhura on my list too, yes. That makes me feel better.

I am not large with the WALL-E love like most of y'all. I thought they were cute. I thought the movie was slow to get going. But I didn't find them overwhelmingly compelling.

It is quite possible that I need tragedy to really fall for a pairing. This is likely due to a singular lack of the loving in my own life, so I have no positive patterns.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm tempted to vote for everything involving Colin Firth.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm tempted to vote for everything involving Colin Firth.

Firth & Nanny McPhee?

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

Latterly McPhee was quite lovely.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Besides, Nanny McPhee wasn't the love interest in that movie.
