If I had a nickel for every time ...

... a M|M ship with major parental issues were high school sweethearts undercover (both having one of their fathers assaulting them after he found them together), went years going in and out of each other's lives (including one entering the military, religious fanaticism, and jail time in respective orders), then got engaged in the third-to-last episode of a season, and married in the finale, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Fuck The CW for not giving Malex a honeymoon season and making me actually grateful to John Wells for some thing other than actually showing the ins and outs of Gallavich’s relationship *side-glances heavily at Carina and Chris*.

A thought piece on how it must’ve felt to be Michael in season 1

[idealuk]

It was finally their first official date! Poetic cinema!😭

2x02 / 3x09

[okaywhateverokayyes]

Any recent malex fic recommendations??

[anonymousrobinhoodqueer]

AaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA

Roswell NM why????? How? What is your end game?????

MichaelxAlex good

MichaelxMaria also good

Alex x Michael x Maria good too- someone just needs to tell Michael that he is allowed to love two people like that

Alex x Maria????? I can see it but also I can’t because I don’t think that Alex is bi. I think that he loves Maria with his whole heart- more than he loves liz but I don’t think that he can love her like he loves Michael and I am in season 2 episode 6 and I can’t right now.

Liza, I follow you for CS and watched the first 4 episodes of Roswell New Mexico because of you. I'll be caught up by tomorrow. So far I ship both MaxXLiz and MichaelXAlex what is it that you like about the ships?

I’m so glad! I think you sent this yesterday, does that mean you’re all caught up? Good stuff, amiright?

As for your question, for me whether or not I ship something is always all about the chemistry first and then if they have a compelling story. These two couples have both in spades. 

Michael/Alex - That scene at the reunion in the pilot is sort of an extraordinary ship-making moment. All episode you know there’s an undercurrent between them, it’s very intriguing but you’re not positive what the relationship is, and then bam, they’re drawn to each other like magnets. The way it was shot, the staging, the music, the acting was all extremely well done and set them up really well. 

Once you know more about the story (and I’m hoping you’re caught up if you’re reading this, if not come back later) then I find it impossible not to root for them. I think that the scene in the shed with dear ol’ dad and the hammer is one of the most startling and horrifying scenes I’ve seen on television in a long time. I felt such pain for both of them and really want them to overcome it. They’re both so broken and you just know if they were together, really together, they’d both feel safe and whole again.

Max/Liz - These two have such a feeling of sweetness and tenderness about them, even though they’re both also broken and sometimes at odds. I love that. It’s like hearteyes 24/7 with them, even when Liz is angry or suspicious, she can’t pretend she doesn’t have feelings for him. One of my favorite things is when she knows he’s not telling her the truth and she has every right to be angry, on guard, and suspicious, there is something deep down in her that knows she’s safe with him and wants him to be the good person she always thought he was. “I have never wanted anything as much as I want to believe you didn’t hurt my sister.” That is a powerful statement. Never? She’s never wanted anything more than to believe in him? Wow. 

Since you mentioned Captain Swan (Killian & Emma from Once Upon a Time) I do think there is a similar dynamic and I think it’s one of the reasons I’m so drawn to both CS and Max/Liz. Both stories are about a girl who has walls and armor and who doesn’t trust anyone, doesn’t think anyone is good, doesn’t usually form connections, and a boy who falls in love first and when he does he falls in love hard and forever. 

In both cases the boy might hide wrong doings from his past, but is open and honest about his feelings for said girl, and when the girl is not quite there yet, he accepts it and doesn’t push. And in both cases when the girl is ready, she makes the first move, which, delightfully, is grabbing the boy and surprising him with a next-level first kiss. 

I admit it, I find the story of a man being the one who falls in love first and loves with everything he has to be a very compelling romantic story. 

Anyway I’m intrigued by both Malex and Echo and rooting for both (and admittedly hardcore shipping the later.)

Seen Roswell NM yet? Hot ships there (MichaelxAlex)

I have not. I’ve been meaning to check it out, and might use my upcoming 3-day weekend to do so. Thanks for the heads up ;)

Also I see your a Nikita fan so that to

Yay the Nikitaverse!!!!!! I’m glad there’s some still out there. OTP: “Mikita” MichaelxNikita oh my god Michael and Nikita are literally the cutest couple EVER!!! They’re so sweet to each other and they literally put each other through hell but still love each other. There pasts were so hard and they found each other and it is beautiful and I love them. Maggie Q’s and Shane West’s chemistry is amazing and there’s so much beauty and pain in each episode. Hands down Nikita made me cry more than any other show.

Ships:AlexXOwen I really hated Owen after what happened in THAT episode of Nikita yes all Nikita fans know THAT episode. But he redeemed himself.AlexXSean Honestly I liked Alex and Sean more than Alex and Owen, but apparently the writers didn’t and decided to write him out.ThomXAlex They were cute while it lasted but I couldn’t see them being a long term thing, guess the writers couldn’t either XDNathenXAlex OwenXEmily NikitaXAlex yes I ship this but I like their mother daughter relationship or teacher student relationship. RyanXAlex I think they would have been a great couple but no we had to have one last twist and ruin that Mikita moment (it’s been 5 years and I’m still bitter about this) but I can’t be to mad the ship sailed in real life when Lyndsey and Noah got married.RyanXNikitaBirkoffXFeliciaBirkoffXAlexBirkoffXSonyaMichaelXBirkoff(You can blame my friend from high school for that one).PercyXAmanda why not ship villain with villain

BroTP:NikitaXAlex AlexXMichaelAlexXBirkoffNikitaXBirkoffNikitaXRyanAlexXRyanNikitaXOwenMichaelXSeanMichaelXBirkoff

NOTP:NikitaXAmanda I read a fanfic once where that sailed it was incredibly well written but there are some scenes of Nikita I can’t look at the same anymore.NikitaXOwen I just can’t he killed Daniel her fiancé even though he was under orders. It would not be a good relationship.MichaelXAlex I know there’s a lot of Malex shippers out there but for me I like them as friends.

Alex: Fuck you.

Michael: Is that an insult or a to-do list?

Alex: What?

Michael: What?

🤬

The finale won’t upload and my post about a spoiler that I called years ago isn’t showing up in the tags! I know that I’ve been luckier than most with ships, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t deserve to see my airman marry his alien and revel in it, gaud damn it!😇

[idealuk]

michael-runs-hot-guerin‌:

Alex: Did you know literally all of our friends ship us?

Michael: Where are they shipping us? Sounds kind of expensive

[idealuk]

Alex: Role play for me.

Michael: *Does so they can get his ex out of a human hospital so their friends can properly treat her alien ailment*

Michael (their next scene): I’m going to go off by myself.

Alex: No. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): I’m going with you, we’re doing this my way, because I’m the one who joined a secret government agency that might want to study you  to make your world safe and used my now-ex (Who is that again?) to recruit me because they know that I love you for us. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Successfully flirts with Michael using the least-sexiest words by way of posturing how to save Michael’s ex and Michael’s brother from Michael’s dictator father* We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Is profoundly emotionally vulnerable for Michael* We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Wants to stop Michael from killing Michael’s father because he’s inside of Michael’s brother’s body* Maybe I need to add some physical sexual tension. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Michael: *Immediately compliant and defenseless*

Alex (their next scene): *Saving them both, Michael’s brother, and, therefore, also Michael’s ex from a dictator* You got to beat my ass-hole father with his own crutch (been there with my own crutch). My turn with your truck. Sorry that he’s inside of your brother. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Like the bossiest emotional boss, exuding future-husband energy, he’s been for the entire episode* Stop hugging your ex, it’s my turn, because she is my best friend. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next/final scene): Your mother was a genius and a fighter and you’re just like her. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Michael: I understand that you can’t tell me any thing about the secret government alien-studying agency because I’m an alien.

Alex: You’re not getting it. We’re finally getting together this episode. Total transparency it is then. I will tell you every thing.

Michael: Oh. That’s new.

Alex: ... Wait--What is happening?

Michael: *Goes to kiss Alex* Yeah, okay, we’re finally getting together this episode. It was MY plan all along!

Alex: *Immediately compliant and defenseless* ... Oh. Finally.

They’re both dumb-ass Jedi soulmates, your honour, the fandom rests our case.
