Day 25 - A pairing that was/would-be adorable, but could never work out?
Lina and Zelgadis (Slayers)
Even though I'm a hardcore L/G shipper, I thought their flirty dialogue in the marriage temple episode of TRY was adorable.
This ship could have easily sailed if Gourry were out of the picture. And I’ve read some decent angst fics where Lina and Zell end up outliving Gourry and Amelia and find comfort in each other. But, currently, I don’t see it working out with them. A lot of L/Z shippers point to the Marriage Temple flirting scene (seen above) as evidence that they have a thing for each other. But I see it as just the opposite. Both of them have been previously characterized as being skittish about romance but having no problem showing affection to their friends. And I think that they're comfortable flirting with each other because they both know it's a joke and the other isn't gonna take it the wrong way and think it's a genuine love confession.
....at least that's my Lina/Gourry addled mind interprets it. ~_^
