Hi, i'm MacsLady.
I'm a Mac/Jane shipper but Jane is gone now. Back in s1, I was also a Mac/Stella shipper, but I kind of lost it when there were fewer M/S moments in s2/s3. But there have been so many lovely moments between them in s4, and I have been talking to a certain person on here (you, Ghawazee!
) in other threads and by PM, and I am starting to fall in love with M/S again.
My one worry with M/S is that if the writers put them together, they will ruin it like they did D/L. But I think that though that's a risk, risks are worth taking. Didn't Mac say that the rewards of a romance make the risks worthwhile?
I do love M/S. I think what they have is a very, very deep friendship, and that there is the potential for something more there, but neither has realized it yet. Both are moving towards realizing it, though. I think that they both are held back by their pasts, Mac by Claire's death and the failed relationship with Peyton, and Stella by what happened with that b*stard Frankie and that foul, creepy, smarmy, icky, yucky, disgusting Drew (I hate him). Also I think both are held back by worry of what would 'happen' to them professionally if they got involved - Sinclair and other high-ups might use it against them. But the more I think about them, well, the more I think they are perfect for one another. They are just so...they just
fit so well.
I love how they know each other's flaws (Stella's tendency to 'lose her head' sometimes and Mac's stubborness, and his reluctance to open up and show emotion sometimes) but they love/care for each other despite that. I think that when you love someone, you love ALL of them, their good and bad sides.
I also love how they know each other's pasts - Stella knows about Claire, Mac knows about Frankie/Drew/AIDS scare/Stella's being an orphan - and how they aren't intimidated by that. Much as I liked Peyton, I think she was intimidated by Claire, by how much Mac loved her. That's understandable. But Stella isn't intimidated by that at all. I think that Frankie was a creep and a b*stard who just couldn't handle the fact that Stella is a strong, independent woman who wouldn't take any of his crap (posting that vid on the Internet). Mac, in contrast, loves and admires Stella because she is strong and independent and won't take anyone's crap.
I guess you guys have seen all of these pics before, but I thought I'd post them as my gift to y'all on joining the thread:
