My fictional love interests

I was tagged to do this meme by the lovely [profile] zoesmith and yay, it's a fun one:
List ten fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) and tag 5 people to do the same.
I should mention that I have a thing for falling in love with fictional characters since I was a child, so naturally I've got  a very long list. That's why I set a limit of two characters per show/ book/ comic.

From the Buffyverse:
1)Spike:  There is hardly anything to explain here. He's the one who got me started on fanfiction, what more is there to say.
2)Faith: That woman is so beautiful and I squee for the bad girls!

From Babylon 5:
3) G'Kar: So, I have a thing for bumpy, passionate aliens. Everyone has his quirks
4) Susan Ivanova: She can be so delightfully grumpy and mean. Aside from being just plain awesome.

From Battlestar Galactica (the new show):
5) Starbuck: She's so lovely in the beginning of the show. That smile, the joy in violent behaviour, I'd do her in a second.

From Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen:
6) Mr. Darcy: I know that's a very clichè answer, but I can't help it. He's the cutest grumpy man ever.

From Fables by Bill Willingham:
7) Bigby Woolf: Hey, he might be a bit hairy, but who could resist the big bad woolf, especially when he's so cute when he's in love. It's hard to give a comic book character so much personality, that one can fall for him but Fables is one of the best after all.

From Swordspoint by [profile] ellen_kushner
9) Richard St. Vier: A gorgeous gay master swordsman just isn't an everyday appearance in literature. I would also not mind in the least to settle for just watching him and Alec.

I reserved the last two for childhood crushes that will never truly went away:

From Star Trek:
8) Worf: Well, you remember the bumpy men thing? That's probably where it originates from.

From The Lord of the Rings
10) Aragorn: Why aren't there more men like Aragorn around.

I tag whoever might have fun with this!

Oh!!! Aragorn, I'm surprised he didn't appear in many lists, I think you're the first one to include. Nice, very nice! He's quite something!

Great list darling! Very yum yum yummy!!

Thank you! :)
I think I'm in love with Aragorn since the first time I read the Lord of the Rings, when I was eight.
Thanks for the tagging!

Awesome choices from the Buffyverse. I love Faith, I always thought that Buffy was so so mean to her when she first got to Sunnydale.

I adore Faith. There is this thing I have for underdogs and then her going to the dark side and back again was wonderfully done. Plus she's the only woman with a proper redemptionista storyline.

She didn't have it easy with Buffy in the beginning, but I liked that Buffy showed so much insecurity around her.

I loved that Buffy was so insecure and jealous about her in season 3. I just liked that Buffy had flaws, her whole inferiority complex about feeling superior.
I don't normally read these kinds of books but Go Ask Malice is a cool book about Faith. It's written as a journal that her social worker told her to keep when Faith was in Boston, and you find out what happened to Faith's mom, how she met her Watcher, what went down with Kakistos, and even how she got her tattoo and her "Five by five" phrase.

The book sounds very interesting. I've read non of the tie in novels so far, since I tumbled straight from the series end into fanfiction (and it's hard to go back). But the idea of writing it from her social workers perspective sounds very cool. Thank you for the rec! *goes looking on amazon*
