brendalaDay 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. ~_^

Do you think Gourry would get mad if he knew Zell got to second base with Lina before he did?
Lina and Zelgadis are both smart, independent people who like to do their own thing and they’d likely have constant fights about where to go next (they would be on their way to some magical cure-all artifact, and Lina would piss him off by getting distracted by a buffet or a bandit camp). And I get the feeling that Zelgadis would want to settle down once he’s cured (which wouldn’t sit well with Lina if she still had a ton of wanderlust left in her). Zelgadis and Lina have great friendship chemistry and it’s clear that they love each other. But I think their love is purely platonic.
