OTP meme

The OTP Meme - Choose your current One True Pairing and list 3-5 five reasons that made you fall in love with them. Your answer can be in the form of writing, fan-art, graphics, or any kind of media (e.g. a clip of a scene with the pairing, or maybe a text excerpt). Have fun and spread the love!

Charlie/Claire from Lost had huge amounts of potential back in season one when we were first introduced to the pairing. Over time the writers have pushed them to the side in favour of the triangle/quadrangle of doom and all their lovely potential of course went down the toilet with their seperation and (more recently) Charlie's death. But I always have and always will love this pairing.

Now I could wax on lyrically but instead I'm going to give you my two pieces of media that remind me the most of my OTP. Funnily enough, they're both from season one...

Video: The Water Scene from White Rabbit
Reason: This scene still makes me squee - even after so long. The first hints towards what this ship could have become. *sigh*

Fanfiction: Learning You by literarylemming a.k.a. Mnemosyne.
Summary: Episode tag to "Outlaws." Charlie and Claire commune immediately after the end of the episode.
Reason: her fics were some of the very first Lost ones I ever read and they're all just so fucking incredible. Her fics were what inspired me to start writing my own C/C. This was my favourite of hers and it still remains my favourite Lost fanfiction of all time. Her use of language is just...guh perfect.
