# Day 13 - What is your favorite television pairing?
I don't watch much television, so let's cheat and pick SatAM. I'm going with Sonic/Sally, since I find their chemistry fun to watch. :)
# Day 14 - What is your favorite book pairing?
Harry/Luna. I find this to be the sweetest and less pretentious of the Potterships, and they really connect with each other, which I think is important in a ship. I don't usually pay attention to book ships (most romance novels I read are usually mocked and thrown against a wall. XD), but a few come to mind. Namely Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens), Gilgamesh/Enkidu (Tale of Gilgamesh), Odysseus/Penelope (The Odyssey), Legolas/Gimli (Lord of the Rings) and Hades/Persephone. :o
Basically little things like Montressor/Fortunato (Cask of Amontillado), Bill/Fleur (Harry Potter), and Philip Philipovich/Doctor Bormenthal (Heart of a Dog).Beatty/Montag from Fahrenheit 450 is my guilty pleasure. Totally.
# Day 15 - What is your favorite real life pairing?
Edgar Allan Poe & Virginia Clemm. Hands down.
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love -
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me -
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud one night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we -
Of many far wiser than we -
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling -my darling -my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea -
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
