Okey, so I will admit here my fandom is as capricious as young love XD

Recenly, I've been reading Harry Potter RHr fics and then switched to Lord of the Rings Faramir x Eowyn fics (don't ask, what I ship is ususally the obvious canon couples they WERE married anyway regarded as more obscure..), out of total randomness out of my control. Stark contrast in terms of relationship, but both drawn me in. A lot

I believe in trees. Because its obvious.

In most fanfictions these two are portrayed as bickering old couples or, as most people so explicitly put it (to which point I totally agree, most whole-heartedly,) two stubborn teenagers overwhelmed by sexual tension. Theirs is hte most colourful relasionship, tere are snide comments ("Know-it-all," Ron drawled teasingly.), tart sarcasm ("No Ron, I burnt the letter. Of course I replied!"), downright jealousy ("Krum?" Ron spat the word like venom.), then screaming shrieking bellowing and the rest. One word, very sensataional :)

Fics featuring Ron and Hermione grown up, though, is slightly different. This version of Ron is most likely a successful (most likely is an auror,) humorous, compose (ie no longer blushes when being taunt about Hermione) but still with a touch of cheekiness. Personally, I generally like these fics over the school fics. I mean, the movie and some of the fic Ron is becoming too quick-tempered and, fankly, stupid and cowardy for my liking. Makes you wonder just what Hermione sees in him..

All in all, this is just so satisfying a fandom to read. So many different genres. AUs, Highschool fics, Fluffy marriage, Time travel, Reunion after years, and *cough* some of the best smut I've read so far (recommodation: King by Amber Greene, I swear I shivered when I read this.)

Faramir x Eowyn

These two, on the other hand, are very different as far as I can see. Sure, they are both quick-witted and their jests find their way into their speech - albeit MUCH more subtly, and sometimes, more intelligent. I personally love this somewhat moer mature relationship. The thing that drew them together may not seem clear at first - and I admit that the first time I read it in canon Return of the King, I thought it was just the author doing matchmaker and pairing off the Unloved.

Now I see there is so much more to them. They have such similar pasts and sorrows, and (if I haven't remember wrong) Tolkein had included Eowyn was like Faramir's mother, sad but beautiful. Then there is Eowyn's crush on Aragorn, and how, Faramir ranks just a tad bit below the King. A somewhat evil setting, if you ask me, but great as angst material.

Their personality also fits each other's. Both are born high-ranked and leaders; while Eowyn is strong-willed and determined, Faramir is more considerate and prudent, and, aw, don't you just like the gentlemen? He is probably the only one who can understand, and has enough patience (and LUVV of course) to cure Eowyn, and she him too, since in my opinion, he needed a source of light and a reason to live for.

So yes, I am officially a fan now ^^;;
