Fandom: Slayers
Pairing: Lina Inverse/Gourry Gabriev
Theme set: Delta
Rating: PG-13
Author's Note: Some spoilers are made as to the ending of Slayers NEXT, the 14th and 15th novels and Knight of Aqualord.
1.Air
Gourry could never understand why Lina loved to soar through the air like a bird, especially since he vastly preferred to keep his feet on the ground.
2. Apples
One of the most peaceful moments in recent history for Lina was when she and Gourry sat beneath a tree outside of Atlas City, munching on apples and talking about nothing.
3. Beginning
His first impression of her was a skinny, flat-chest kid with a big mouth and had no idea just how much she would come to mean to him.
4. Bugs
Lina hated the very idea of bugs, especially slugs that were slimy and leaked ooze on you, but Gourry really didn't mind the moment she fled into his arms for protection from them.
5. Coffee
Even though Zelgadiss drank coffee by the bucketload, both Lina and Gourry agreed that they vastly preferred tea.
6. Dark
Sometimes, everything that Lina ever did comes back to her in the dark and it is then she reaches for Gourry and remembers that in the end, it was all worth it.
7. Despair
Lina never thought she could feel despair - but the moment that Hellmaster Phibrizzo ensnared Gourry in bands of Mazoku power, the feeling swamped her in frighteningly huge waves.
8. Doors
Gourry never remembered the black-haired fisherman who convinced him not to throw away the Sword of Light, but he did remember that the event caused him to close one door on his life and open the one that led to meeting Lina.
9. Drink
They were quite a pair when drunk and Lina always found it amusing how alcohol seemed to make Gourry more intelligent.
10. Duty
No one told Gourry it was his duty to protect Lina, but he eventually realized that the one to issue him his orders was his heart.
11. Earth
There was no greater joy than the moment they each discovered the other was alive and celebrated, spinning above the world as they kissed.
12. End
"Do you think this is an end to our journey?" she asks when she discovers she's pregnant, but his answering smile made her realize that they were embarking on an entirely different one.
13. Fail
Lina never told Gourry of the time he failed to protect her, when he had been under Phibrizzo's control and nearly killed her; she knew that he would not be able to live with the guilt.
14. Fire
She was the fire in their relationship, bright and passionate in everything she did - from casting a spell to eating food to when they fell on the bed together and she rolled them over so that she could be on top.
15. Flexible
They had no set schedule and preferred it that way.
16. Flying
Lina could never understand why Gourry was so scared of flying when she loved to soar through the air and truly feel free.
17. Food
Amelia once said that Lina and Gourry suppressed their sexual urges for each other through their food fights, but even after they consummated their relationship, Lina realized that the food fights was just a part of who they were.
18. Foot
She never realized how sensitive a foot could be until he gently trailed a single fingernail down one arch and she nearly shot off the bed from the sensation.
19. Grave
Every year, Lina and Gourry visit the graves they had made for Luke and Millina and silently thank Ceiphied that it's not them lying in the ground.
20. Green
Lina never realized how jealous she'd been of Sylphiel's friendship with Gourry until her world seemed to be tinted green whenever she was around the shrine maiden and Lina was ashamed of it.
21. Head
Sometimes, Lina thinks that absolutely nothing is going on inside Gourry's head.
22. Hollow
In fact, she's quite sure that it's hollow.
23. Honor
She was loud, rude, greedy, selfish and obnoxious - but Gourry found himself won over by Lina's sense of honor.
24. Hope
It never failed that whenever she felt she couldn't carry through with her burdens, he always appeared at her side and instilled her with hope.
25. Light
Lina wasn't quite sure when she stopped being enchanted by the Sword of Light and became completely enthralled with the man who owned it.
26. Lost
They said she was lost inside of that Sea of Payoff, but he didn't care - he was going to find her and bring her back to his side where she belonged.
27. Metal
To many men, a sword was just a hunk of metal, but Lina knew that the Sword of Light had been much more than that to Gourry and vowed to help find him a replacement that meant just as much.
28. New
After it was all said and done, Gourry found that he treasured the Blast Sword more than he did the Sword of Light.
29. Old
Not that the Sword of Light was anything to be ashamed of, but it was still a reminder of the painful memories of his past.
30. Peace
But the Blast Sword was a symbol of the peaceful and happy relationship that he had found with Lina, and Gourry decided that the love he felt for her was a much better legacy to leave to their children rather than the pain.
31. Poison
"When the bottle says don't drink, you really shouldn't drink it," Lina scolds Gourry as she does her best to cast a Dicleary on him.
32. Pretty
He called her flat-chested so many times that she didn't believe him the first time he told her that she looked pretty.
33. Rain
They were caught beneath a huge tree, which did little to shield them from the rain falling around them; but when his arms suddenly wrapped around her waist, she didn't mind getting wet at all.
34. Regret
Lina lifts her hands and has no regrets - if she dies chanting the Giga Slave, as long as Gourry lived, it was all worth it.
35. Roses
Amelia hands Gourry a bouquet of striking red roses and whispers, "You might want to have these in front of you when you go see Lina-san, because she isn't happy with you right now;" but Gourry knows that no amount of flowers would stop one of Lina's fireballs.
36. Secret
"Let's keep this a secret for awhile," she urges as they lie in bed, bodies cooling, and he agrees.
37. Snakes
"I didn't realize that you hated snakes as much as slugs," Gourry comments as Lina does her best to literately crawl into his body to get away from them.
38. Snow
Gourry had never seen snow, and Lina thought the child-like look on his face when he laughed and tried to catch snowflakes with his tongue was endearing.
39. Solid
Whenever Lina feels like she can't face the trials before her, Gourry is confident about what to say to comfort her because he knows that they've faced hell and have come through the other side.
40. Spring
As she looks up at the giant temple that replaced Flagoon, Lina realizes that it's spring and it's not right that Gourry isn't there to experience it with her.
41. Stable
Gourry never quite understood magic, but he knew the dangers of it, yet he never felt afraid when he saw Lina's steady and sure hands rise to cast a Dragon Slave.
42. Strange
Somehow, being cursed to speak Octopi didn't seem strange to either of them. It just seemed like a normal part of their lives.
43. Summer
They met in the summer, married in the summer, had their child in the summer and because of all that, it seemed like the best season.
44. Taboo
"Won't people think this is taboo," Gourry comments the first time they share a room as partners and Lina simply snorts and replies, "Only if we have sex, jellyfish!"
45. Ugly
Sometimes, she passes by a mirror and thinks that she's ugly because her breasts aren't that big, but then realizes that whenever Gourry groped or made a rude comment about them, that means he was still bothering to look.
46. War
It felt like they had been involved in one war after another from the day that they met, and when their daughter was born, they vowed to do everything they could to keep her out of them.
47. Water
He found her naked, stretched over the water with her red hair streaming around her and wondered if this is what a goddess was suppose to look like.
48. Welcome
She was confused about why he simply ruffled her hair when she came back from defeating Rikufalso, but then he leaned forward and whispered, "I'll give you a proper welcome later," which caused her to blush and wonder exactly what he meant.
49. Winter
Lina didn't know much about Gourry's family, but one morning he stared at the grey sky and said, "I left home on a day like this," and her heart ached for him.
50. Wood
Lina once thought herself of being incapable of feeling love for someone, but somehow Gourry got lodged into her life much like an arrow hit a tree and refused to fall out.
