Off Topic += Our happily ever afters

Wherein we pause the writing attempts to see if a meme will help restart my brain.

Tell me a pairing, and I will tell you:

1. When or if I started shipping them:
2. What I think their challenge is:
3. What makes me happy about them:
4. What makes me sad about them:
5. What moment I wish had never happened:
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
7. My happily ever after for them:

= Michael/Adam =

1. When or if I started shipping them:
I read a few Michael/Adam stories before I started shipping them. My clearest memory of when I started liking it was a story [livejournal.com profile] ladyknightanka wrote where every Winchester got an angel, Adam was trying to help (and so excited) his brothers realise what they had; and then he was given Michael. Many lulz followed.

2. What I think their challenge is:
Following the conventional assumption that Michael forced Adam to be his vessel, there's a lot of trauma to work through and trust to rebuild. An easy road, it would not be.

3. What makes me happy about them:
I love the idea that in a universe where they do end up together, the ages old, righteous and powerful Michael would have had to learn some real humility and made huge gestures of penance to compel Adam to consider him. And it would have been such a long, deliciously, achey road. I loved the idea so much I started writing it late last year and is turning out to be an accidental epic.

4. What makes me sad about them:
Following on from (2), it effectively started as rape. Uncool, man. That aside, they both have huge Daddy issues and I think Michael could easily crush Adam sooner than humble himself or admit his own faults, unless he has more compassion than the show demonstrated. Lucifer/Michael also weighs heavily on my mind and I can't help thinking Michael could be distracted with these thoughts when he's with Adam, leading to sad, angry faces and gratuitous H/C. Actually, H/C could rarely be gratuitous with these two; more, please.

5. What moment I wish had never happened:
I wish Michael!Adam hadn't fallen down the hole. Then at least Adam wouldn't be stuck down there by himself with two of the most terrifying angels in creation and we'd see more of them both on airtime, yay! However, now we have the prospect of Lucifer/Adam/Michael, which is not a terrible thing. :D

6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
Michael could end up with any of his brothers, strange, but in my mind there's a lot of history and old bonds there that could rear up again given have the chance, and potentially heal old wounds. Adam could have Castiel or his brothers (I'm not consciously trying to 'cest everyone, I swear!), for the reasons I mentioned in the earlier comment to this.

7. My happily ever after for them:
Michael gets his own vessel (that is not Dean) and consensually stalks Adam through his boring, human life of work and study until he can convince Adam to move to the wider country where there is fresh air, space and something remotely resembling nature. Adam becomes the local doctor at some small town where the locals appreciate his tact and wry humour, but have a love/hate relationship with the freakishly GQ!Michael who glares at everyone, has no social skills or desire to interact with anyone but Adam, but they learn to love more than hate him when he demonstrates what an effective town protector he is. And possibly saves the wine harvest. Many long, lazy afternoons are had in gloriously stereotypical cottages with stupidly large beds and aforementioned wine. The end?

This is actually what I wanted to ask you, but I like that someone else asked, since it means someone else also likes Midam! <3

A lot of this is exactly how I feel about them and my happily ever after is almost identical to yours, lol. No, seriously, the ending I have planned for my Big Bang is a lot like this - with some marked differences, of course. But you know how I am; I want there to be some fluff, especially for someone so down on his luck like Adam. It's like he had a rabbit's foot, didn't even know about it, and it was stolen...poor kid. I feel like my Michael is too nice, though, as he tries to appease and win Adam over. Oh well, a little romance (that's borderline creepy) can go a long way. xDD

Also, I love how your mind works. Cas/Adam is something this fandom needs so bad! D: I've read one, I think, and it wasn't really even overt; it could have passed for friendship. Not that I don't think Cas/Adam and, for some reason, Gabe/Adam, which occurs in oodles in my mental canon (which ignores actual canon), aren't cool, cause they are pretty epic, but I'd like to see Cas/Adam slash. I mean, Adam has enough attributes from Sam and Dean to incorporate the things both Sassy and Destiel shippers love, so...why not?

So, which Big Bang 'fest are you writing for? I need more of your story like burning. I REALLY DO. How's the word count going? I really look forward to reading your Michael, I think he could be interesting and different enough from mine that we shouldn't have problems. ;]

I pulled that happily ever after out of my ass, then I realised that I'd really like to write that. The 'happily ever after' segment would be a fun saga in its own right, I know a little about the challenges of doctors working in small towns, so I'd like to sit down and write this story properly.

I want to write this Cas/Adam now, too. DANGNAMIT. Why am I so easily dazzled?? I think we read the same Cas/Adam because the friendship tone sounds familiar, it was subtext and quite a nice, short stand-alone piece. Are there any Gabriel/Adam pieces out there? Or are they all in your head, and, if so, when are you going to share? :P

Someone once told me that they thought Michael would be chivalrous and gentlemanly...it kind of stuck with me, for whatever reason, lol. It's for the [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang. I'm doing pretty good so far. Just over 16k. Then again, the finish line is still far, by my estimate, but it's a fun race. :)

You should write a Cas/Adam...and a Gabriel/Adam, too, because I would like it to exist outside of my head, but I'm too lazy to do it myself. Although I do have this weird Sam/Gabriel that has a big focus on the relationship between Gabe and Adam (but, unfortunately, not that kind of relationship). If only I could push my procrastinating self to finish it...:P

Finish iiiiiiiiitt!! :P I'll push you, I'll be the nagging voice of motivation. How about a trade: if I write the Cas/Adam, you'll post your Gabriel/Adam?

Just from the comm name, I thought the spn_j2_bigbang comm was for RPS? It's not? Connection is dodgy here, but I'll try to check for myself....

Okay, I'll take you up on your offer. I just hope it doesn't come out terrible. o.O

I thought the same thing about spn_j2, but people were talking about all kinds of pairings for it, so I checked the rules and almost anything goes. The only rule concerning RPS is that Jared or Jensen, if you do do an RPS fic, have to be one of the premiered characters, and any SPN character is usable if they've had airtime in canon. So, of course, I'm taking the opportunity to spread my - obsessive, maybe? - Adam love. ^^

I'm sure it won't be terrible, it will be awesome! :]

I adore you for sharing the Adam love. I've been thinking about joining up ever since you raised it and I read the rules, but I'd have to make my mind up soon because sign-ups close shortly.
