All you Swannies out there are going to love this.
I want to toss a challenge out there: Eagle / Swan or Condor / Swan
What was their first kiss like? When and where? What was the outcome?
Go for it! 
Oh, Maddy...how very swoony of you! I'll have to give this one some thought...

If you stick to Gatch I and BotP cannon, G-2 will never kiss G-3, so I'd have to say it would be Mark and Princess, since Ken could never dig his head out of his butt enough to see Jun as the gem she was.

I love that part TJ, it was so romantic, yet unfinished. Make me want to go and read the story again.

Have some fun with it! I've had Jun kiss both Ken and Joe, and Princess kiss both Mark and Jason. Oh yeah, and even Kelly kissing Joe (from Eagle Riders). No one ever complained about canon...

Wow! TJ, did you just come up with that or is it from I fic that I haven't seen yet?
Now, I must run off and read your "While You Were Sleeping" -- the ultimate Jason/Princess story, and one to quell any naysayers.

Very nice, Maddy... so romantic! 
Originally posted by amethyst Wow! TJ, did you just come up with that or is it from I fic that I haven't seen yet?No, I cheated... I'm desperately trying to finish a fic so I nabbed this from my Evolution story.
Now, I must run off and read your "While You Were Sleeping" -- the ultimate Jason/Princess story, and one to quell any naysayers.You're right, it's probably my best Jason/Princess story... but there isn't really one 'spectacular' kiss, which is why I didn't pull anything out for it when this issue came up.

That is great Maddy, it really describes the awkwardness of that first kiss. Good job!
Thanks TJ! I had thought it might have been Evolution and skimmed the first few chapters, but I guess I didn't skim far enough.
I've started a story for this challenge but it will likely be next weekend before I get it finished the way life is going right now: 
Originally posted by Madilayn Ok - here is my answer to this challenge. It's got Mark/Princess (and perhaps some Princess/Jason too...)Oh, very nice! You depict the awkwardness (both literal and emotional) and the magic of being young very well. I don't know if I have time to write a challenge response myself though.

Gatch II, though, provides some canon to support Joe/Jun -they have some "shippy" scenes in eps 4, 16 and 29- but Gatch F then goes back to being Ken/Jun again.

TJ and Maddy, you're great!

Originally posted by Transmute JunIt's great to re-read something this good! I still remember the first time I read that excerpt, though, and being so disappointed Jason got interrupted! Princess did go on to have quite a lot of fun later in the fic, however, if not with Jason...Originally posted by Becky Rock I just can't see Jason being interested in Princess in that way. Joe and Jun, maybe more so.Ahem... is that a challenge?
Originally posted by lborgia88 I still remember the first time I read that excerpt, though, and being so disappointed Jason got interrupted! Princess did go on to have quite a lot of fun later in the fic, however, if not with Jason...Well, you're right, LB. I have quite a hole in my fic resume... no Jason/Princess smut! I almost did it in While You Were Sleeping... but I chickened out there... I've had quite a few Jason/Princess stories, though. Now I seem to recall that Ebony wrote a wonderful fic called Ice Castles, which had a nice Jason/Princess adventure.
Maddy, that was lovely... so sweet and swoony! TJ has so many swoony bits in her fics, it's hard for me to pick just one!
And if I start listing all of the great fic 'shipper moments out there...I could be here all day!
Have I mentioned that I LOVE this thread? Thanks, Maddy!
Hopefully, I'll have a minute this weekend to add some shippy moments to it!

TJ, it wasn't a challenge but I loved reading that.
Actually, I started a fic with Jason and Princess a long time ago that I didn't get very far with. I've got a lot of stories that went that way...

As some of you may know I enjoy exploring the Jason/Princess dynamic - but I think that Mark would have to be pretty much out of the picture as far as Princess is concerned before anything would happen (actually - I can't see Jason making a move if he thought that M/P was a chance either).

I seem to recall, Maddy, that you had an awesome fic about the Swan having to wear the Condor's costume after he was captured by Galactor... and you never finished it. Any idea if that might get worked on?
I know the one you mean - and am dusting off fics. The problem is that Ste keeps me so happy that I can't seem to get back into fic writing!
No. Am not giving up Ste so you lot can get more smut out of me.

Becky, it looks like you suffer from SJ disease ... start an epic and stumble to finish it.
I've done lots of first kisses for Mark and Princess... But I am always happy to attempt another one.
Let me ponder overnight and I might find time to write a snippet for you.
I do so love reading and rereading these things, guys...
Maddy. I love your work. It is so ... real ... sighhhh
I miss reading your stuff (which means I might trot back to the library and reread some of your other stuff)
Fluffy had a nice few "firsts" do you still happen to have that monster in it's entirety somewhere? I'd love to go back and read that one... It was a fun write.
Keep em coming, guys. I'm loving this!!

Thanks and sorry girls for making you cry ... I too, as I said before, don't fancy this ending for my dear Eagle and his relationship with Jun, but I know that whenever I want I can write another one with a happy one! That's the advantage of being able to write whatever you want as a sequel for an ending left so open by Tatsunoko!
A dramatic twist indeed, Gatchamarie, but heart-wrenching in all the right ways, and beautiful!
I've written bunches of Eagle/ Swan first kiss scenarios...but I took the opportunity to draw a first kiss scenario...because you *know* how much I hate to draw Jen/Ken pics! *grin*

That was great, Ebony -I think that Princess will be especially zealous against the Spectrans she encounters in this mission, with motivation like that from her commander!

Hey, it's been a while since I wrote something, so bear with.
This is BotP ... oh of course it is... Marn and Prin, who else eh?
It's over at ff.net because -- as usual -- it's too long to write here.

Oh, SJ! That's just fabulous! Your description of their feelings is awesome and so real! Your writing skills are excellent ... must say that your break must have improved your skills and not the other way round! You tackled the human aspect behind the assumedly rigid person so well! I found myself looking at a mirror when you described the kind of fear that one feels when in love with someone so close to one's heart! Well done!

SJ - you are a Goddess! I loved it! Now have to put my brain into gear to write a proper review for ff.net!
A great piece, SJ! I like the way you combined a "first kiss" into a meditation on how a relationship with a fellow soldier can be one's strongest support and greatest vulnerability.
SJ, that was beautiful!! Does my Eagle/ Swan heart good to see more swooniness from you!!
