when or if I started shipping it: Pretty much from the start. XD
my thoughts: I really, really love this pairing, and I felt terrible for Yoko when Kamina didn't make it past episode eight. I mean REALLY. They complimented each other in a lot of ways, and yes, their relationship could be defined as "slap, slap, kiss" simply because they spent so much time bickering with each other. However, you always knew that they cared about the other one.
What makes me happy about them: I think some of their really petty arguments were funny as hell. XD
What makes me sad about them: HE DIED, DAMN IT.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: You know, honestly, I think a lot of the writers really love the pairing and really don't do anything that annoy me.
things I look for in fanfic: For them to be well written. Anything that has a summary that says "suck at summaries but plz read anyway!" usually will make me pass over them. If you can't write a decent summary, then chances are you can't even write a decent story.
My kinks: Ooooh boy. It usually comes down to locations. The one fic where they got down and dirty in Gurren's cockpit? Whew, that was kind of hot.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I know there are a lot of people who would have liked Simon and Yoko to hook up, but I actually did like that there were Yoko and Kittan undertones. Of course, then Kittan died so I'm thinking that it's better that Yoko just retire to teaching and give up on marriage...
My happily ever after for them: Honestly, I would have liked for Kamina to live and for them to get married and have babies ever after. Naturally there are a lot of fics that go in that general direction. I know I'm not the only one. XD
