in support of pairings I have written (or not, see icon for examples)

[harborshore]

I'm stealing a meme from colouredmango (who is borrowing my brain for the evening, btw, and has promised to feed and care for it properly--no, don't ask) and liketheroad.

Ask me about a pairing I have written (or haven't and you think I should write) and I will give you five facts about them or a ficlet or a song that is CLEARLY THEIR SONG or their wedding china pattern, etc etc! Let's say this one is any fandom/band/etc that you can reasonably assume that I'm familiar with, yeah? Familiar meaning, you know, having heard of them.

1. Ian has no idea how long they've been doing this thing they're doing. But when he gets home from tour, he discovers Cash totally remembered the anniversary that Ian didn't even know they had. How he discovers it? Well, he touches Cash's shoulder, catches him wincing and makes him take his shirt off.

(Not that Ian is the most care-taking of persons, but he's had to develop some instincts--he's with Cash, okay? Cash is sometimes worse than Brendon, as far as the no-regard-for-his-own-safety goes.)

Anyway, Cash has a new tattoo on his shoulder. Of a guitar. Granted, the guitar is bright red and blue and really fucking ugly, but it's a guitar. Ian grins, tracing it and watches Cash fail to suppress his shivering.

2. They never pick out a china pattern, but they do eventually start buying things in the same colors. You can never have too much orange.

3. Ian knows Cash wants a band again, but he's also pretty sure he doesn't want to be in the same band as Ian again. Experience taught them they make different kinds of music.

4. They break up once, when Ian finds out Cash is talking to his old bandmates. It's not that Ian's jealous, exactly (except it totally is), he just wants Cash to go back to Singer if that's what he still wants.

Of course, two weeks into their breakup, Johnson calls him and yells, and then Marshall calls him and yells, and then after another three weeks, Singer shows up at Ian's doorstep, towing Cash.

"I swear, if you don't take him back I'm going to kill you both."

5. Lastly, they don't exactly live happily ever after, except they really actually do.
