Or Marshall Mann/Christine Chapel (or the Mary/McCoy side from the same AU.) I just re-read "Will You Meet Me Halfway" and was loving how adorable Christine & Marshall were together. Mary & McCoy aren't adorable together, by any stretch of the imagination, but there was a certain brusque sympathy between the two of them. Do you still have those notebooks of scenes between the two pairs? In your 'verse, did they ever realign the OTPs, or did they proceed merrily (or resignedly) onward?
Oh, I LOVED writing that! It just spilled out of my head into the computer. ;D
Right. Marshall and Christine were happy and in lurve for a while and then one day they just looked at each other and sort said -I have to try it. I can't NOT try it. So they broke up SUPER amicably and a year later saw McCoy proposing to Christine and Mary and Marshall going on their first date. Marshall and Christine still talk. ♥
I can kind-of see that! It would be rather dreadful if Marshall & Christine came to the realization at vastly different times, so I'm glad in your 'verse it was concurrent. And I could definitely see McCoy proposing to Christine! Despite the poor end to his first marriage, he hopefully had a positive view of marriage in general. Mary, not so much! A long-term relationship (much less marriage) with her would be rather more fraught with peril! {grin}
