Countdown to Small Gifts 5/7: Poll: Beyond the OTP

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

How does R/S fit into your fannish life these days, folks? Into your larger fannish career? Did they help you get into fandom, or were you already involved in another pairing or fandom before you found them? Do you read/write/draw them currently, or are they an older pairing for you? Are there certain themes or emotions you associate with them?

I associate hope and redemption with them the most.

Actually, I think those are the elements that make this pairing so endlessly fulfilling. They both betrayed one another and yet even in canon forgive one another to a point of living together. Everyone wants to give them some happiness that JKR didn't grant them.
Even in AU, most writers find a way to keep their complications. Remus usually has kind of a disability or problem and Sirius is never from a big happy family...... LOL!
