Day 14: What is your favorite book pairing?
Arthur Dent/Ford Prefect, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yes, this predates Martin Freeman playing Arthur, by quite a bit really. I read HHGttG first when I was eleven and had no idea what slash was. I've read it just about yearly since I was handed it by my well-meaning sixth grade teacher (who had NO IDEA what a monster he created by setting me onto sci-fi), and every time I reread it since realizing hey, two guys can be in love too, I just shipped them harder and harder.
Also, I can't quite get over Mos Def as Ford. I mean, I love him in the role, but I'm pretty sure Ford is described as ginger at least once. And you all know how I feel about gingers.
(also: if you know of any good fanfiction, POINT ME AT IT. There's not enough in the world to satisfy me.)
