That fandom as relationships thingie:
The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and laughed about it. Probably Heroes. I've just bought the DVDs and am going to rewatch from the beginning, but it definitely feels like sleeping with the ex that already mistreated you and you know you're ultimately going to split again because there was a reason you broke up in the first place, even if that reason is hazy with nostalgia.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp. SG-1 would be that for me. I have pay TV and it's perpetually on the Scifi channel so I catch 10 minutes here and there and think, awww, aren't you adorable but then kind of flip on by. HOWEVER, if I see a story pop up on the flist that's written by someone I like then I'll usually check it out.
The mysterious dark one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 AM at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized s/he really was fucking crazy: That would be the US Office. Ha - the 3AM thing is literal too because for some reason it would always be on really late at night here just completely randomly and I would catch it by accident. I do enjoy it immensely as a show still and I've read the odd story I really enjoyed (and written a couple) but being fannish about something that gets that loopy is really hard.
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor and whom you'd still really like to get with again, although you're relieved s/he doesn't actually live in town: DH4. I've read some fantastic pieces in this 'verse but I feel like it's a fairly restricted canon and I have absolutely no interest (for once!) readon AUs so I'm happy I've read the stories I have but I wouldn't look around for more.
The steady: At the moment this would be a tie between Supernatural and Inception. Supernatural is my woobie heart. My constant. The stayer. Inception is definitely newer and being a movie fandom, possibly a closed and dying fandom but it seems to have had more staying power than most and you've gotta respect it. It doesn't hurt that TH and JGL are now in Batman together which gave it a little refresh.
