Clio and Mireille survived grad school together, but that was just the first step. The vast archive of fanfiction awaits and they must band together to read and analyze it, one pairing at a time. Clio's PhD in English and Mireille's history with AO3 should make them perfect partners. But can they overcome their differences? Or will this impossible task drive them further apart? They can talk about pairs - but can they make one?

    Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers

    All that it takes to make this podcast end is to really want it to. Welcome to the final episode of season one! Yes, Clio and Mireille are incredibly old, and probably body-swapped, and almost certainly living in a dream world, but at least they can't read each other's minds. So nothing can stop them from discussing the pairing of Faith and Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

    The fan fiction discussed is End Racism in the OTW | Just A Counterfeit James Dean by impertinence.

    Angel/Buffy Summers

    Angel/Buffy Summers

    Mireille and Clio might turn evil if they ever experience a moment of perfect happiness. Thankfully the pairing of Buffy and Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer just makes them angry. (Despite their special guest, Meredith's, best attempts to win them over). 

    The fan fictions discussed are Culture Shock by Lofty Heights and Dancing with Death by Taaroko.

    Spike/Buffy Summers

    Mireille and Clio round up the Scooby Gang (well, one friend from grad school) to put their stakes through the heart of the pairing of Buffy and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    Namor of Talokan/Shuri

    Namor of Talokan/Shuri

    In this episode on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Clio and Mireille take on the pairing of Shuri and Namor of Talokan.  All Clio wants is eventual smut, preferably involving the ghost of Killmonger, and all Mireille wants is to understand the reproductive capabilities of immortal beings. It's a normal Thursday.

    The fan fiction discussed is From Eden by Tytue.

    Erik Killmonger/T'Challa

    Erik Killmonger/T'Challa

    In this episode on the Marvel movie Black Panther, Clio quotes Virgil and Bourdieu. Mireille only stops talking about incest long enough to explain the Omegaverse. I think we can all agree that at least one of them deserves to be thrown off a waterfall. But WHICH ONE? And can they  set aside their enmity long enough to record a podcast episode? In this iteration of the time loop, for one brief shining moment, the answer is yes. 

    The fan fictions discussed are All the Stars (Are Closer) by joidianne4eva and The Definition of Insanity by MildSpinning.

    Ji-yeong/Kang Sae-byeok

    Ji-yeong/Kang Sae-byeok

    In a brutal fight to the death between Clio and Mireille about the pairing of Ji-yeong and Sae-byeok in Netflix's Squid Game, only one can triumph - although both could fail.  Mireille is armed only with allegations that Clio will someday hallucinate a squid demon.  Clio is buffered by an irrational hatred of time loops. There are no real winners in this cruel game, but in the end (if it ever comes) you may be comforted by the thought that this podcast, like all children, is a demon of love. 

    The fan fictions discussed are The Monster You Created by uisceB, five times sae-byeok watched ji-yeong die (and the one time she didn't)  by Aleethebee, and Winners, Losers, Beggars, Choosers by rmwfbl.
