RARE PAIR CHALLENGE!!!

So I'm late, but... IT'S RARE PAIR MONTH!!!

*dance of joy* *dance of joy* *dance of joy*

I do love the idea of rare pairs. It's one of my fav things! The problem I find is that some pairs occur to be by the way the writers write them in canon or the way they snark. But a lot of others just don't occur to me. I'm just conditioned that when I think Inception I think Arthur/Eames and Yusuf/Mal never crosses my mind. It happens with every fandom I play in. I just can't see beyond my nose until someone adjusts my glasses.

So let's chat for a bit about fandoms and rare pairs. Leave a suggestion of a rare pair from a fandom or seven, leave a suggestion of a scenario, leave a prompt, leave an image.

Also - This year let's not define rare pairs as what is rare to fandom, but what is rare for you. If you've always shipped Stiles/Allison take a stab at something different for you!

The challenges can be met with written words (min of 1,000) or graphic words (min 5 icons). OR in the spirit of rare pairs, you could work together with someone you've never worked with and give us something twice as nice!

As always, hit us with any questions!

Rare pairs, yes! There are so many rare pairs that need more attention, and new pairs for me that I recently started to ship and haven't written anything for yet, so I am excited!

Arthur/Eames and Yusuf/Mal never crosses my mind.

Me too! But now thanks to fanfics, Arthur/Eames are one of my OTPs.

I have a question, though. I started this short fic a day before this challenge was announced. It is the first time I write for this pair. Does it still count?

Yay! :) Then I might have a couple of things finished before this month is done.
