468. So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love?

Bond: You know, I think I'll call that a "Vesper."
Vesper: Because of the bitter aftertaste?
Bond: No. Because once you've tasted it, it's all you want to drink. I thought it was a quite a good line.
Vesper: It was a very good line.
Bond: But you're laughing at it.
Vesper: Not so much it, as you.
Bond: Oh, well, that's fine, then.

First of all, these two

CLAIRE, THIS IS AWESOME.

I mostly zeroed in on the TV romance because, well, what can I say. I like your runner-up picks. Aww, Booth and Brennan.

And I don’t care which Doctor it is, either. Nine, Ten, Other Ten, it doesn’t matter. Because none of that impacts the core of their relationship: these are two people who are always happy to be around each other. That’s all. Throughout season 1, 2, and 4, it’s so clear that they just love to be together. It never had to be sweeping and romantic, because they were both so aware of how much they cared about each other.

YES. And so different from the will they/won't they dynamic you usually get. I liked that it was just sort of there between them - just about how much they loved being together and nothing else really mattered quite as much.

Um, here have this gif:

I'm glad you approve!

And yeah, it was hard coming up with non-TV romances (although TV was sort of hard too. I wanted to put Logan/Veronica on there, but I'm still sort of bitter with how the show turned out. And I thought about putting Pete and Peggy from Mad Men, but it takes me about a year to explain why I like them.) But I got to peruse my bookshelf and movie area, which is always fun!

I LOVE THE GIF

Oh, Bond and Vesper. So sexy and wonderful. Excellent choices!

[scornedsaint]

Thank you! And god, Vesper and Bond. You are so right about sexy and wonderful. I still kind of hope the series will go full-on sci-fi and bring her back from the dead, even if that would be insane.

I approve of your movie choices! Amélie and Moulin Rouge! are two of my absolute favourite movies ever. So, well done :)

And of course Doctor/Rose. No debate there, really.

I have not read any of those books. Pretend I said something positive about those as well. XD

Amélie and Moulin Rouge! are two of my absolute favourite movies ever. So, well done :)

Why thank you. We have excellent taste!

You should SO read all of those books. Lost Art of Keeping Secrets is a 1950's England coming-of-age tale, Special Topics in Calamity Physics is also a coming-of-age story but with death and conspiracies and parenthetical citations. This Lullaby is really, really great young adult lit. And The Book Thief is, without a doubt, one of the best books I've read; it's a story about 1940s Germany narrated by Death, which sounds odd and cliched, but it's amazing.

(I feel very strongly about these books, can you tell?)

[muneca_brava]

Those do sound great! I'll put them on my to-read list. Which, predictably, only grows larger ;) At this rate, I might get to them in a couple of years XD

[scornedsaint]

Haha, don't worry, I have a similarly long list.

[sheswatching]

OMG THIS MAKES ME WANT TO REWATCH STARDUST RIGHT NOW!

[scornedsaint]

YOU SO SHOULD. THAT MOVIE IS 100% AWESOME.

[sostrangechild]

My mother always said she thought Rose was a tart. :/ I SAY OTHERWISE *smashes fist onto table* She was AWESOME! I ADORED Rose, and thought she was extremely pretty! Her and the Doctor had such a great dynamic!

Anyway, I can't say that I've read/watched all of the books/tv series/films you've nominated, but from what I know, they are brilliant choices! (Amelié! Casino Royale! Doctor Who! YES!)

Ah, I'll be going back to my corner now. (Got here from Fandom Secrets :D )
