Challenge Accepted: Talking About My Icons

[tangeriner]

I accepted colls's challenge from Snowflake Challenge Day Twelve to talk about three of my icons!

1.

So, like, ages ago, for Yuletide 2012, I wrote Heartlines, about the epic love of Monet and Terry, and the pairing name "Moneterry" (which is, ahhh, still so clever) sprang from some discussion of the story, and I love them. Like, 90% of the relationship drama would have been solved by these two getting together. They had a very underrated friendship, and I just... I really love them. This icon fills me with joy.

2.

I love Jin. I love Mugen. I love their antagonistic relationship. I love how they're completely different, but they united under one purpose and helped Fuu in her journey. The mix of hip hop and Samurai lore and amazing characters all came together to make an amazing show that I love. The dynamic of Mugen's relaxed style against Jin's more structured one is captured by this icon.

3.

MY BOYS. I have grown up with these guys. (Seriously, I was 13 when I got into X-Force, and Shatterstar was my immediate favourite on the team). Watching their friendship develop over the course of my teenage years, culminating in what I thought was its height in 1999, when I was just about to enter my 20s, was amazing. And then to have them go canon a decade later. And then, a decade after that, knowing they're still growing together and KISSING is truly amazing.

Thanks for talking about these! I don't know any of the canons but I've bookmarked the fic you linked because it sounds delightful.
