My first week is over, and I'm enjoying the hell out of my downtime! I'm also in a 'blab about writing' mood, so here's a meme that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inarticulate came up with:
So! Give me a character*, or two, or however many, and I will give you:
A) An OTP
B) A runner up
C) A ship I dislike
D) My take on said character, unpopular or otherwise
E) If relevant, my happy ending (AU or non) for that character
F) A bit of headcanon about how I view their sexuality
G) A character from another fandom I would love them to meet
*Original characters would be great, but if you're not familiar with any/want to hear about a fannish character, I'm game for that, too. ♥

Xue
Date: 2010-08-29 04:28 am (UTC)From:B. Jiaming/Xue, in a platonic sense. I love their relationship to bits, but I see them as best friends/siblings, not boyfriend and girlfriend.
C. I forget his name, but Xue with the Japanese spy? Probably because Xue would have a knife at his throat in seconds. So much for foreplay.
D. Xue is another character with a hidden spine, though in this case, it's less hidden. From the beginning I've thought of Xue as a bit of a combat nut - not in the sense that he's bloodthirsty, but he practices his form obsessively. He's good enough that he can get away with disabling but non-lethal blows most of the time, but if he's in a situation where he has to kill, he'll go through with it. He won't like it much, though.
Of course, since Xue is so tiny, effeminate and shy, people rarely notice that he's pretty good. With his friends, though, he gets much less twitchy as time goes on, and pretty much becomes their mother. He has several little brothers and sisters, and it really, really shows.
E. I don't know how Xue's story ends! Best case scenario, though, is that he and (most of?) his friends make it.
F. Definitely gay. Not that he can be that open about it in 19th century China, but hey, it's AU.
G. Just about any spazzy character from any fandom, so he can be maddeningly patient at them.
