I like Mac/Stella, Stella/Hawkes, Hawkes/Danny, Danny/Lindsay, Lindsay/Stella, Stella/Flack, Flack/Aiden, Aiden/Danny, Danny/Mac... so really, this 'ship is just a natural progression for me.
Probably my favourite right now is D/L but I tend to swing around. I'm a fickle, fickle person, and Mac/Lindsay is the newest hot-ship on the block, and it intrigues me. It sort of reminds me of one of my old favourites (Trance/Dylan from the sci-fi show Andormeda) in which the much more popular and intentional 'ship was Trance/Harper. Trance/Dylan was completely accidental but also very different to the other relationship, and after so many months of intensive 'shipping for just one set of couples, it was hugely refreshing (not to mention fun) to start juggling and rearranging pairs.
Mac/Lindsay is unconventional, warm and sweet and pretty much accidental (in that I don't think it's what the writers were/are going for, though they might well add more stuff in if they see the fans appreciating it). It's a refreshing break and I'm slipping into serious 'shipper moad about them. They really are just so
lovely together.
It's perfectly possible to love many 'ships equally at the same time, even if one or two are your favourites, they're all special, and I devote equal dreaming time to each of them! :lol:
