I think I'm honestly OTPing a ship for the first time.

Nah, it's not strange. If I was totally honest with myself, I'm more or less that way about Ian/Barbara and Jade/Graveheart. I mean, I entertain the thought of them with other people, I'll admit. Because I'm too much of a thoughtful "what if?" person not to... but in the end, they don't end up together eventually, something in me kinda dies.

Both sets just come off as so resolutely married on-screen, that I can't really accept them with other people. At least not in canon. (They're a big difference between what I'd accept on-screen and what I'll mess around with in fanfic. BIG difference)

I think I'm definitely at least starting to become the same way for Jade/Graveheart - like you said, I'll contemplate other people I might ship the two of them with, but at the end of the day they just kind of belong with each other and work so well together and all that. And, now that I think about it, while I'll think about other ships involving Barbara and Ian I don't seriously ship them with anyone except each other. I don't even read all that much fic shipping them with someone else, unless it's by an author I already like.

So...yeah. Glad to hear I'm not going crazy or anything. :D

:D Just give me a hollar when you're at "Ascension". The Jade/Graveheart interaction in that ep is sublime and everything I could possibly want on-screen. Wouldn't change a thing!

But yeah, I'll consider other ships. Jade/Tekla, Barbara-and-whoever-I-feel-like-hooking-her-up-with-briefly-at-the-moment, etc. But in the end, well...

I have a much stronger difficulty pairing Ian and Graveheart with other people, actually. Well, outside of One/Ian/Barbara and Graveheart/Jade/Cryos OT3s...
