*yawn* Somebody compared Godric/Rowena to H/Hr again, this time on the "Why is it always Rowena/Salazar?" thread over on FA.

I wonder if I'd get in trouble for saying, "Well, I see what you mean -- I realize romance and attraction weren't so much of a priority in marriage back then. I prefer to think of the Godric/Rowena pairing as having a little more spark, though."

Probably. Bah.

Mind, Andrea pointed out that she's actually seen more stories with Helga/Salazar, Rowena/Godric and/or Founder/OC pairings. I think this probably reflects some sample bias; I strongly suspect that the Godric-Rowena-Salazar and Harry-Hermione-Draco love triangles in Cassie Claire's stuff have led to a lot of paralleling.

Hmm. Just for the heck of it, I'd like to know if there's a story out there that runs the correspondence Godric-Rowena-Salazar to Ron-Hermione-Harry, instead. I'm not sure whether it would be any good or not -- if it's somebody who considers Godric and Ron to be misogynistic buffoons, then no -- but it would have potential. Might work with that Fixing the Mistakes of Your Intergenerational Parallels theme.

Though it neglects Helga, which isn't good.

Helga is always overlooked, isn't she? *sighs* I need to rethink that other founder story.

Interesting you say that, because I didn't see the H/Hr parallel at all for G/R. Courage/book smarts can describe R/Hr just as well. I think the thread can be summed as "People see them as they want to" which seems especially true of the Founders.

She isn't as flashy... supposedly.

Courage/book smarts can describe R/Hr just as well.

Of course. But catch an H/Hr shipper admitting Ron has a good quality... well, that's not fair. Some of them do.

True enough. I have to confess to it myself, of course, and also to getting rather perverse about contradicting some versions I don't care for.

Poor Helga. But we don't overlook her in OUR story. *eyebats innocently* Kore and I are good. Go read us. *g*
