Where is the Dr. Myers/Sam/Runner 5 fic for Zombies, Run!? It kinda sucks that I seem to be the only one who ships that OT3, while everyone seems to be creaming themselves over Radio Boyfriends, or just Sam/Runner 5. : /

Sam/Maxine feels way more BFF than sexual/romantic to me.

Now, Sam/Janine, on the other hand...

Eh, honestly I only ship those two if it's a triad relationship with 5, since I think all three of them bring something to the table in it - and those two wouldn't really work out without all three of those there. But that might be because we just don't see any interaction between the two without 5 involved.

Personally, Sam/Janine feels waaaaay too much like 'Scary dragon lady boss/employee' to me for me to ever really get behind shipping...But a little more variety pairing-wise in the fandom would awesome, wouldn't it?

And I can't 'ship Five/anyone, because s/he has no canon personality. All we know for certain is "runs well" and "has a mysterious military background." (Disclaimer: I am only 11 missions into Season 2; "we" may know more than I know at this point.) From mission events and other characters' reactions we can extrapolate things like "fearless," "tough as nails," "loyal," and "probably likeable" (and apparently "good with kids"; seriously, Game, why do you keep handing me kids and telling me to run?), but that's not enough for me to hang a character on. For me, reading fic that focuses on Five is basically reading about someone's OC, which doesn't appeal to me.

As for Sam/Janine, I get where you're coming from but I read their dynamic more as bickery coworkers who're on equal-ish footing than boss/employee. Even though Janine technically is higher on the food chain, Sam pushes back enough and gives her enough affectionate/gentle crap that I don't feel any real power imbalance between them.

I'm going to be completely honest here - I don't get why you replied to, since I seem to be getting a 'I don't like your pairings, they're bad!' vibe from you.

As for Same/Janine...I don't particularly care if other people ship them, but for me part of the issue is that Janine is like an old boss I had who played office politics and was the 'Scary Dragon Boss' stereotype - and that just disinclines me from really shipping her with anyone.

I'm going to be completely honest here - I don't get why you replied to, since I seem to be getting a 'I don't like your pairings, they're bad!' vibe from you.

Then I apologize, because that's not what I intended at all.
