Express Yourself - Favourite Couples

I haven't taken part in this meme for so long!


This week's question is: Who is/are your favorite couple(s)? They can be fictional, historical, or even present day.

I think I'll go with my favourite fictional couples:

- Arwen and Aragorn, from The Lord of the Rings series.

- I love all of the couples from Harry Potter, but my favourite has to be Ron and Hermione. I think the moment they finally got together, after years and years of waiting, was amazing!

- Ed and Winry, from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (an anime series)

- Han Solo and Princess Leia, from Star Wars

- Four and Tris from Divergent

- Edward and Bella from Twilight (the books)

- Buffy and Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Angel only beats Spike because I think the initial love story is better, although I prefer Spike :)

- Jared and Melanie, and Ian and Wanda from The Host.

- Daenerys and Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones.

    I posted a comment but I don't know if it sent or not Laura, apologies if it did. Anyway Han Solo and Princess Leia is probably my favourite couple from this list just considering how different they are in their backgrounds yet they still fell in love with each other at the end. I even imagine Bella and Edward to be quite cute in the books to the extent I'd be tempted to give them a read although I'd need to do so without anybody who knows me finding out haha.

      Haha, fair enough! They are a much better couple in the books than the movies. And I love Han Solo and Princess Leia! I like how much they bicker :)

      I actually thought I'd struggle finding couples, and then I kept remembering more and ended up with too many!

    I HAVE to agree with Daenerys and Khal Drogo!

    I also really like some others from Game of Thrones, but since that is information I got from the books, I'd better not say. I really don't want to spoil anything.

      I just love their story, but I wish it hadn't ended so tragically!

    Definitely agree with Aragorn and Arwen, I think as time goes on I appreciate their story more and more. And I love Ron and Hermione too.

      Me too, they're such a good couple. And I love Ron and Hermione, despite the fact that it took them far too long to get together!

WEP August - Change of Heart

Image
So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo...

The Insecure Writer's Support Group was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a place where writers can talk about their insecurities once a month, and receive encouragement and support from other writers. It's such an amazing group, it even has its own website now, which you can visit here . This week I'm a co-host! Be sure to go to Alex's page and visit the other people who are co-hosting.  I had such great plans for my writing this month, but not one of them came through. There were three short stories I wanted to get written, and I also wanted to get back to my NaNo edits, but none of that happened. I still have a little time for one of the short stories, though; it's for Kyra Lennon's cat anthology , and it's due Friday! Not much time to do it, but I made a commitment and I will follow through with it!  Even though I haven't got much writing done in the last month (or the couple before that!) I'm not going to let it get me down. I...

A is for Arachne and Arlee!

Before I get to my Greek Mythology part of this post, at the request of Alex J. Cavanaugh  (great idea by the way, Alex!), I'd first like to thank Arlee Bird for coming up with the challenge in the first place. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be taking part in this amazing experience every year. Thanks, Arlee! This is one of my favourite tales from Greek mythology, so naturally I chose it for my first letter. Arachne was the daughter of a shepherd, and was famous for the beautiful tapestries she weaved. Nymphs would travel from all over to see her work, and to watch her weave. One day, a nymph asked her if her talent was a gift from the goddess Athena. Arachne protested, saying her skill was all her own, and that her weaving was better than Athena's. Athena heard of this, and challenged the girl to a weaving contest. Both sat at their looms and began to weave, nymphs gathering round to watch. Athena weaved a tapestry based on the glories of the gods, showing the...
