Randomness...

Well, [livejournal.com profile] greenygal mentioned to me the other night the possibility of a pairing generator that would give random pairings of people in the Lantern, Flash, and Arrow families.

So, I wake up this morning, steal some coding, and this was the result. Advice on further inclusions, exclusions, etc. is greatly appreciated.

As is fic based on any of the pairings so created, although many--perhaps most--of these pairings should *really, really* be interpreted as gen.

My first try got me "John Stewart/Wally West". I can live with that, especially in the toons. My second was "The Old Timer/Eobard Thawne". So who's The Old Timer? And my third was "Gorilla Grodd/Joan Garrick" which makes me think "really disturbing non-con scenario."

The Old Timer was the Guardian who accompanied Hal and Ollie on the first part of their famous road trip.

Post-Crisis, the rest of the Guardians left him behind to look after things while they went off with the Zamarons to make babies. He went mad with lonliness (he'd been separated from the Guardians' mental link for the first time in his life), summoned all the places he'd ever seen to form the Mosaic, ultimately got killed but lived on as one of the voices in John Stewart's mind.

That's the brief version :).

Clearly it's really dangerous when people with GL-type powers suffer emotional stress...

...Yeah. And if he gets together with the Reverse Flash, the DCU had better watch out...
