Ehehehe... You like to put me on the spot, don't you?

2x5

I can totally see this pairing, actually. It makes sense. Granted, Wufei seems to irritate Duo a little on the show, but I think that was more because of being locked in a small room together with no way out. Heh.

Um... what to say? Well, the dynamics are decent. Wufei is rather unstable througout the series; Duo is a little steadier. By the end of the OVA, it seems like they've all found some peace, at least - I can see both of them ending up working as Preventors, and they'd work well in a team together. Wufei strikes me as the type who'd want an orderly partnership, while Duo would prefer to take things as they come, since improvisation is one of his stronger points. On this, I think they might bicker quite a bit, but it wouldn't be anything serious.

I don't actually ship this pairing, but I do like it. I can see them getting along well together, somehow.

Jyousuke

Um... I have less complimentary things to say about this one. I think you should refer to the pieces I've done on Takeru x Miyako and Ken x Aya-chan. Why? Why would someone write this? What sense does it make?

It's possible, of course. And not even terribly off, since my personal belief is that it's difficult to come up with a Digimon pairing that you can't see in some way or another. But unlikely. And why? Because I can't see their personalities mixing well in a relationship.

First of all, Jyou. He seems to me like a neat, nervous young man who likes things orderly. Not quite in the same way as Wufei, who has no problem standing up for himself, but rather in a spazzy, anxious sort of way that I think would cause problems. I love Daisuke, really I do, but he's a catastrophe waiting to happen. He would be the sort who'd make a mess and then go play video games, completely forgetting the mess was there. Jyou would spaz, Daisuke would ignore him, and it'd be a general domestic nightmare.

A general domestic nightmare that gives me the disturbing impression of a mother and her child. Eeek. So, no.

Daisuke x Satoshi

I'm of two minds on this one. On one hand, I think that Daisuke x Riku is an absolutely adorable pairing - they look utterly cute together. But I can't help but enjoy the fanservice. It's just... so *there*. And cute. And enjoyable.

That Satoshi is in love with Daisuke, I don't question. This is practically canon, even though it hasn't been stated explicitly in the series. The question is whether or not Daisuke would ever fall in love with him. And, honestly, unless something happens with Riku, I can't see it. It seems unlikely to me that one day Daisuke would wake up and realize "Wow, truth is, I've never really liked Riku - it's all been about Satoshi!" No, no. What he feels for Riku is definitely real, and it's not just going to vanish.

There is potential for it, sure. Daisuke has such a big, open heart that he could probably love anyone, gender barrier aside. But at this point in time, he loves Riku - and Riku loves him back. Unless tragedy strikes in some way, I doubt Daisuke x Satoshi is going to happen.

Hee! Yep!

I agree with everything you said about the 2x5, I love the dynamic there. They amuse me so very much. *does ship it*

Why? Why would someone write this? What sense does it make?

Well..as the author of one of the only four Jyousuke fics in existance (four! Count 'em! It's like being in a really exclusive club XD)
I wrote it because they're two of my favorite characters. I think they have a lot in common. I also think Jyou is a lot more laid back in the second season than you give him credit for being. First season Jyou was definately spazzy, but he mellowed a lot between seasons. That said, I don't see them as a long term couple. Cute for the short term, but eventually they would fall apart. The other authors who've written the pairing seem to agree with me on this. The other three fics are kinda depressing. Really well written on every count, but sad.

I agree completely on the Daisuke/Satoshi.
