Final Four (and a half) Pt 1

Since trollprincess is doing it in shifts, I'm going to do it in shifts, too... so here's the final four that I'm looking at from the first 300 pairs, with some comments or plot or whatever.

In no particular order:














Roland Deschain vs. Vincent Vega. Quite a fun combination, I doubt I'll be the only one to take a shot at it. Both professional killers, both with their own code. I'm thinking it might work to have one of Roland's doors enter Vincent's head at some point during Pulp Fiction. The suitcase can be used to the story's advantage, as it's never explicitly said that it contains Marcellus Wallace's soul. Roland's opinion of Jules, who seems to take a gunslinger-style mantra after that point in the film. could also be a fun story point.














Lionel Luthor and Mr. Tumnus. Deep in the bowels of Luthorcorp lies a mysterious warddrobe that is rumored to be a doorway to another dimension. As Luthor steps through, he discovers an astonishing human-goat halfbreed who he can use to play the sides of good and evil to his own profit: the limitless moneymaking resources of the land of Narnia.

Not quite the character exploration of the Roland/Vince, this one, along with pretty much all of the others of this batch of four, would be there primarily for story purposes. Tumnus and Luthor aren't exactly an intruiging pair, but it'll be more about "what happens if x is put in y situation."










Emmett Brown & Ethan Rayne. In Sunnydale's underground, Rayne learns of the existence of a time machine in nearby Hill Valley. Ethan sets off to confront the inventor of the machine, hoping to use it for his own schemes.














Fox Mulder and Lumiere. Mulder investigates a folk legend of a vicious beast hiding in a European castle. Upon entrance into the castle, Mulder quickly learns that the monster isn't the only X-File.

And one more that I'm not putting in my top four, mostly because I don't have the guts. But I really really REALLY want to read it, even though I've heard that it already exists somewhere in the ether:














Tara Maclay and Kaylee Frye. Buffy's version of Inara and Firefly's version of Willow find some way to meet up and go at it like rabbits.

Hey, the moderator is encouraging romantic writing. And we ALL want this.

But, again, I don't have the guts.
