Come sailing with me

berlinghoff79 did this meme a few days ago and I loved it so much I had to jump on board.

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support. 
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.

ETA: Added fandom hints for remaining 13 7 ships to be guessed.

Feel free to keep guessing. I love all the suggestions.

ohhhh 20 is 50% right on first guess but leader guesses are not quite there.

10 is about as far from SGA fandom as you can get.

Lorne is the only character I would ever refer to as the 'artist' in SGA. I love that scene. "You paint?!"

Anyway. Other leaders include: Sam or Rodney?

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Love that scene too! Says so much about his character.

A hint? Not a leader of Atlantis but a leader of their people...

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

Lorne/Teyla!

....

Pffff. Good one, me. ~.~

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!! I literally \o/ for you.

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

hahaha thanks.

I feel a little sad I didn't realize it without an obvious hint though. :)

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

In fairness I feel like a lot of people forgot Teyla was a leader in her own right... even the writers. :(

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

Yeah.... :\

On the other hand: with hints, that got clearer a lot faster-

Some of the ships (like Being Human) I recognize but don't know.

5. Ianto/Jack

1. Gaius/Alice? Possibly?

6. If I am guessing right from friends rambling to me about First Class, I'd say youngProfX/Magneto. Seeing as I haven't actually seen the film yet (I know, I know) I may be quite far off track.

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

5. Yes!

1. wrong boy wizard.

6. hmmm, not this number...

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

1. Oh. Well. I just missed the obvious. How did I do that. Lupin/Black.

Oh, fine then. I thought a reference to him as 'the professor' was more likely. 16, then. it seemed to me likely to be an XMen quote but I couldn't seem to find any memories of Xavier saying it to Magneto. I've been lax in all but Sherlock lately, it seems.

1. That's the one. My first ship and one of my most beloved.

16. is right too. It's more of an amalgamation of things Charles says.... you should see the new movie. *nods*

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

I really should :)
