Shipping Meme Day Two

potentiality_26A ship you've just discovered:
I said to myself, "No more little fandoms. No more fandoms that are basically just two other people and you." I said to myself, "You don't need to put yourself through that again." And I was doing well. I was reading lots of Bilbo/Thorin fic, lots of Bucky/Steve. I was even starting to write some (and I'll finish those; I swear). I was on my goddamn way. And then I started watching Longmire. And then I read the book series it's based on. I read it in like a week. And I wasn't on my way anymore.
This isn't to say that nobody is watching it. I mean, there are maybe thirty Longmire fics on AO3, which is tragically small for a series going into it's third year, but though the fandom is small they exist. Mostly, it seems like the people come to look at Katee Sackhoff and enjoy her Starbuck-ness, and that's fine, whatever, I like Vic. But despite being deeply- nay, ridiculously- slashy there is very little happening to that effect. Maybe a half dozen stories and one fabulous vid (check it out!). Woe.
But anyway, I really love Henry/Walt. I love it like you would not believe, and I love Henry like another piece of my soul. Henry/Vic/Walt as an OT3 does it for me too. But anyway there's my New Year's Resolution broke.
Woe.
