I don't know who the characters are in this secret, but this reminds me of the way that Jack/Daniel are often written in fic for SG-1.

Jack is former black-ops; he's been a prisoner of war. He's often cynical and jaded. He lost his child to a gun accident in the home; he hadn't secured his weapon. Daniel wants to be friends with everyone. I wouldn't say he's naive, but he's certainly idealistic. It makes for a really interesting pairing dynamic in fic.

Solid Snake and Otacon from Metal Gear Solid are the ones in the secret. ;) The series is filled with a bunch of WTFery that's hard to explain, but as far as these two goes, Snake is the older jaded one and Otacon is the younger, idealistic one. I don't ship them but they're probably the series' most popular pairing. And their ingame bromance is epic.

I always wondered how J/D shippers handled Danny's character development over the course of the series. Like, bless his heart, his idealism and enthusiasm got kinda pounded into the ground, understandably given all the shit they went through, but by the end of the series he was way way more like original-flavor Jack than he had been at the start.

*nods nods nods*

I have only scratched the surface of J/D ship fic and am not qualified to make sweeping generalizations about it, but I think that as the series progressed, some writers did start to write Daniel more like original flavor Jack--certainly with more darkness than initially. I think that because Daniel was the fandom woobie, though, a lot of writers continued to emphasize his idealism.

Interesting-- thanks for the comparison, I'll be looking into this.

TBH, it makes an interesting combination irl, too. I've been in some really weird, unfortunate situations, and while I'm sometimes frustrated by her naivete, she's so damn smart and willing to learn and adapt, that I can't help but value her and love her for who she is.

She balances me out and makes me look at things in a better light,

Re: OP

[lunabee34]

I'm so glad you found someone to balance you. In my experience, that's the key to a successful relationship. My husband and I balance each other in different ways than you and your partner, but that balance is the backbone of our marriage. :)

Are you my girlfriend?
