Random pairing list!

[owlmoose]

Inspired by a number of sources, including but not limited to ithurtsmybrain, the Random Pairing Generator at Seventh Sanctum and the meme that resulted from it, and a similar game from a couple of years back that kunstarniki told me about once.

This is something I've been threatening to do for awhile, but I never had the time and inclination together. Not like I really have the time now, either, but I wanted to get the idea off the back burner of my brain. So I present to you:

The FFX/X-2 Random Pairing List

Because crack is fun (although some of these might make lovely angsty dark stuff as well). No need to ask; just use them. For fic, art, mockery, whatever. But if you do end up creating something, I'd love a link in comments.

Okay, enough talk. Here's the list.

Belgamine/Logos
Buddy/Clasko
Leblanc/Barthello
Gippal/Elma
Yunalesca/Chappu
Isaaru/Rikku
Kimahri/Bickson
Auron/Maechen
Jyscal/Dona
Jecht/Lucil
Barkeep/Yaibel
Lenne/Yuna (Huh.)
Rin/Mika
Wakka/Nooj
Tidus/Trommel
Wantz/Ormi
Shelinda/Tobli
Braska/Kinoc (Someone must write this. Please? Pretty please?)
Lulu/Maroda
O'aka/Shinra
Paine/Seymour
Shuyin/Baralai (Huh, again.)
Beclem/Calli
Gatta/Nhadala
Pacce/Brother
Luzzu/Cid


This list was created by the thoroughly scientific method of writing down the names of all the major and many of the minor characters from both games (making sure to have an even number), listing them alphabetically, and then assigning each a random number (using a random sequence generator). I reordered them by number, then matched the first 26 with the last 26. Pretty easy, once I got through the work of listing the names. Apologies if I missed your favorite minor character; if people enjoy playing with this, maybe we can do it again with a longer list.

ooh, cool... I've already got an idea for a Chappu/Yunalesca drabble... (or at least, something that hints at it) :D

"Kimahri/Bickson". Um, okaaaaay...
"Barkeep/Yaibal". Ew. just ew.
"Gippal/Elma". Now that's one of the few feasible ones...

Rin/Mika would so totally be crack.

I could really see a Baralai/Shuyin or Yuna/Lenne fic though, even if my pervy mind wants to twist the idea of posession into places it really shouldn't go.

Here's my try at Lenne/Yuna.

I might try one or two others as well; this is an interesting meme.

I posted a Rikku/Issaru drabble! :) And some random Harry Potter pairings, borrowing your concept...

Now that everyone is jumping in, I thought I'd better loudly stake my claim before someone else steals it at writes it. :P Hear me, people? Aniki/Pacce is Parron's. >D She is the only one allowed to write it. OR FACE MY WRATH. XD

Absolutely un-canon because it's been a while but hey, why not:


It comes one day in-between services and when it does, Wen goes oh.

It's hot in Bevelle. Wen detests the heat; his muscles are prone to plumping when he's not exercising on a regular basis, and either way he's doomed to sweat under his collar. The best he can do is shave his head when the sun gets too much. And then wear a hat.

But for once the temperatures are ignoring him entirely, because it feels like there's ice down his spine and in his face and in his brain, everywhere except for two hot points on his cheekbones, and he can't stop thinking about the Summoner in the front row of the 10:00 am lecture.

The one, he finds out later, that is named Braska.

The person who holds themselves with a calm poise in their robes, and wears their hair long despite the heat. The person Wen thinks is a girl, and then discovers is male, and then discovers that he doesn't care because Braska has the most serene smile he has ever seen before in all of Spira, alive and dead.

Then the other warrior monks tell him that Braska is married to an Al Bhed -- married, has a kid, the whole works -- and it's fine, because Wen can't clear his head of cluttered impressions. Slim hands. Clear eyes. Braska is surreal. Everything that exists in the realm of that Summoner is as delicate as a pyrefly: everything is fine because it exists in a realm he could never compete in, and so he does not have to feel more than a passing jealousy.

Then comes the accident at sea, and Braska is brought back to Bevelle with his daughter in tow, and his eyes have become sadder than anything Wen has seen before either.

Wen wants to comfort that, but he does not know what to do. Braska lives apart from them all; he is untouchable, and that is the way it should be. His mourning makes him even more beautiful, like an exotic bird in a jeweled palace, and Wen watches from afar but knows not to approach.

It starts to fall down the day that Wen discovers that not only had Auron abandoned his duty because he did not love -- I cannot not marry that girl for honor alone, his friend had rumbled back then, and Wen had yelled, because Wen always yelled at Auron when his friend was making stupid decisions -- but that he suddenly became a Guardian for it. And not simply anyone's Guardian. Braska's.

Before Wen even knew there was a chance, Auron had stolen it first.

http://kytha.livejournal.com/374274.html That's it for Belgemine through Kimahri (putting off Isaaru/Rikku, since I'm too tired to continue right now. XD; *4AM'D*)

I'm hoping to do all of these. 'cause they're just fun, even if they're insane. :D
