Responses to this meme Part One -
Give me the names of two characters and I will tell you why character A loves character B. I might answer with a drabble, a quick bit of meta, or a list, just to make things that tiny bit more OMGSOEXCITING!.
I went with ficlets...
Dana Scully and William Adama
**Note - Apologies if Scully is OC... I never actually watched X-files!**
Fox will never let her live it down.
After years of being the sane voice in their little twosome, denying the existence of aliens unless cold hard fact would tell her otherwise, it is she who ends up forging a relationship with the first actual aliens they encounter.
Despite the teasing, Dana was lost the moment she met him.
Bill is standing in her doorway, uniform jacket hanging open and looking tired. The integration talks aren’t going well and he’s fighting with Lee again. She looks at his scarred face and greying hair and feels inexplicably happy. She’s on the phone with Mulder when he gets home and she hangs up without saying goodbye, knowing she’ll hear about that too.
“It’s good to be home,” Bill says and her toes curls at the sound of his voice.

Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist
It takes years to be able to sit down with Alma, be able to talk. It takes decades for her to be able to ask the questions he knows she’s always wanted to.
“Why him?” she asks out of the blue one day and then winces, probably knowing how course it sounds, how accusing. What she’s asking is why not me but he can’t really answer that, because he doesn’t know.
“He smelled of the land,” Ennis says. There are other things, baser things about Jack that spoke to him, hooked him as surely as if he’d been physically grabbed, but for Alma he can clean it up… mostly.
“He smelled of the sky and dirt and smoke,” he adds, realising it’s true. There were thousands of things about Jack that pulled him, but it was the smell that truly got him. How no one before or after had smelled like that. He’d never really known why until that moment that he’d pressed his face so hard into Jack’s shirt… after. The only time he’d been able to cry he’d been chasing a scent that had left the world just like Jack.

Steve The Wraith and John Sheppard
Humans.
Usually so whiny and self-absorbed. We liken them to livestock, there but for the pure joy of the harvest.
But Sheppard. There is brutality and an abandonment of faith in him, something I can relate to.
Still pretty pissed off he shot me though.

Aeryn Sun and Starbuck
“Are you trying to kill me?” Aeryn asks, watching Starbuck turn up the thermostat in their room.
“Nah, just want you weak and kitten-y,” Starbuck says with the naughty grin that always has Aeryn squirming. “You’re the only person I know who could kick my ass and it’s only half-reassuring that you’re not human.”
“What if I promise to lie back and think of Aelis-3?” Aeryn tries, already feeling a little dizzy from the heat. Starbuck likes to walk the knife edge and while Aeryn can appreciate it, sometimes it’s a little scary.
She wouldn’t have it any other way.
Starbuck leans close and blows cool air across Aeryn’s throat, raising gooseflesh. She pokes out her tongue and Aeryn can see the quickly melting piece of ice cradled in the pink folds.
“Okay,” she says, because while Starbuck likes to push, she also always waits for permission.
“Okay.”

Sgt Siler and Sam Carter
“Haven’t seen her, Sir,” Siler says and watches Jack stomp off, seething.
“I owe you one,” Sam murmurs from under the worktable Siler is leaning over, Sam only obscured from being seen by Siler’s legs.
“Scrabble Friday?” Siler proposes and he feels a hand squeeze his knee and feet approach. He turns and smiles at Daniel’s approach. Daniel has got an armload of papers and a couple of small gadgets balancing precariously on the top.
“Have you-?”
“I don’t think she’s even in the Mountain today,” Siler says and Daniel makes a huff of disappointment. When he’s gone Sam pokes her head out.
“You’re on,” she says, grinning.

Dean Winchester and Faith
“Apparently,” Sam says, emerging from the backseat with a pair of black panties dangling from his fingers. “You met the woman of your dreams while I was away.”
“How you figure?” Dean asks, leaning back to see what Sam is holding and then colouring red to the tips of his ears.
“Well, you said never in the Impala, only if she’s really special, like soul mate special.”
“She was special alright,” Dean says with a sigh. “Chick could hold me down. Now that’s-”
“No! I don’t want details. No, no, no!” Sam yelps, clapping hands to his ears, forgetting that he was holding underwear and making a squawk of disgust when he mashes the panties into his cheek.
Dean just turns back around, smiling.
-------------
Teal’c and Vala
“He never looks at me like I’m exasperating him.”
“What?” Daniel looks up, pulling the pen free of his mouth that he’d been chewing.
“He also listens to me when I talk,” Vala adds and Daniel rubs fingers under his glasses.
“What are you doing?”
“Just listing all the ways Teal’c is better than you,” Vala says and pokes out her tongue.
------------
Inara and Jayne
Kaylee is just sitting on the bed, blinking. She looks like someone has just hit her across the face with a dead fish.
“Are you serious?”
“Absolutely,” Inara says with a nod. “He’s the only man I’ve ever met who doesn’t make me feel cheap for what I do.”
“Jayne?”
“Yes,” Inara says and smiles. “He’s too grateful for my existence to ever make me feel bad about it.”
