(Anonymous) 2007-09-02 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)That's never stopped anyone from shipping anything but when I hear people complaining about how their couple isn't popular enough maybe they should think about how plausible it is to the people that don't see homosexuality in every single same-sex relationship.
Maggey does like Gumshoe back. I've heard they're canon in the third game. Of course that won't stop crazy yaoi fangirls from trying to explain it away or ignoring Maggey all together. And there's more to Nick's girlfriend than meets the eye.
I look as fanfiction as arguments for a pairing. If it's true what you say about a good writer making any couple work then there should be good fanfiction examples for a couple. Aside from that I've never even heard a good argument for Gumshoe and Edgeworth aside from harping about how Gumshoe's admiration is obviously sexual in nature regardless of his canon relationship with a woman.

That's why their fanfic kinda sucks a lot of the time.Fanfiction as arguments for pairings is... meh. As I (kinda) said in my comment up above, sometimes general!you can see a pairing when there's no fanfic, or where the fanfic totally destroys the concept general!you find attractive in the pairing. I'd be happier with a fanfic about Gumshoe skipping lunch for a week so he could buy Edgeworth some decent-quality tea as a gift than I would be with a fanfic where Gumshoe tearfully confesses his love and begs Edgeworth to consider going out on a date with him. Unfortunately, the latter's what I'm more likely to find, unless I get off my tush and write the former myself. :d And I wouldn't find the latter a good example of the pairing, because it's the same plot I've seen for every unrequited love EVER in any fandom I've ever been in-- it's not the characters, it's caricatures with "Gumshoe" and "Edgeworth" paested on yey.
