Appreciation Thread!

Their Story

"Max Guevara and Alec McDowell are genetically enhanced super-soldiers, bred for the purpose of unrivalled aptitude in the killing fields. Made in a laboratory, they fight harder, faster and tougher than any other soldier. They also look damn good in the process.

She gave him his freedom, his purpose, and even his name. He saved her life, and she saved his. They fuss and fight like alley cats, both too stubborn to admit their true feelings, their relationship antagonistic but the emotional and physical bond between them unbreakable. Created by Manticore -- the same elite species (genetic breeding partners) -- Max and Alec are two sides of the same coin. Different yet the same, from the moment they first meet its obvious they're destined to one day become lovers."

Reasons We Can't Let These Two Go

Because if the show had gone on, it’s confirmed that they would’ve been canon
Because they were breeding partners for a good reason
Because she kick-started his heart
Because his life began when he met her
Because they spark off each other
Because there’s masses of untapped potential
Because they’re just as messed up as each other
Because their complexities and similarities would have made it easier for them to fall in love with each other
Because they’re not as boring together as another pair we could think of
Because their personalities are compatible
Because he pushes her buttons unlike any other
Because he could give her the challenge and conflict that she craved
Because no-one else but Alec would be able to get Max’s transgenic side
Because plausibly, he’s the only one she’d be able to share a simple, carefree life with
Because she realised that she could trust him
Because he wanted to make sure she was okay
Because they both thought Brain was magnificent
Because they both love Joshua
Because the two of them, along with Joshua, are family
Because he understands her
Because she felt comfortable enough to break down in front of him
Because he felt comfortable enough to comfort her
Because he cared enough to seek her out and see how she was
Because she let him into her haven
Because with just their presence, they gave each other what little comfort they could offer
Because Logan could see it starting between them
Because they worked through their issues and became friends
Because even Logan thinks she should be with someone who gets what she’s going through
Because they’re a movement by themselves, but a force when they’re together
Because she’s exactly the kind of girl he could fall in love with
Because they’re in tune with each other
Because they respect each other
Because they’re equals
Because they’re good by themselves, but make each other better
Because you’d have to be blind or in denial not to notice the chemistry
Because the foreshadowing is so obvious, it’s like being hit over the head with an anvil
Because Max finds Alec sexually attractive
Because she trusts him to save the world in her place
Because he is her most trusted friend and ally
Because she is his highest priority
Because they look GORGEOUS together
Because if they had bred, they would have had beautiful little X5 babies
Because Max and Alec together make a WORLD more sense than Logan and Max together do
Because they’re not only meant to be, they’re made to be

Nice opening post

Really beautiful ^^

Wynter · 12-01-2008, 01:10 PM

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Reposting our story from the last thread, because we might aswell finish it

:

Alec was working on the new games that Mole had asked him for, when Max came looking for him. She wanted to tell him about something that was happening outside, where Joshua was attempting to break a new vase. Alec looked up and pouted, which made her feel kinda faint. She ignored the stupid feeling and instead snapped at him to remove the silly string, and get up. But Alec decided not to listen, so Max evilly smiled, then moved forward

Pempees · 12-01-2008, 01:26 PM

When I studied the opening post I actually surprised that Alec has a last name

Was it mentioned in the show?

Wynter · 12-01-2008, 07:50 PM

You won't believe how many people said the same thing on their thread on Jensen's board! No-one realises

But yeah, I don't think it's specifically said, but it's on his ID.

Pempees · 12-02-2008, 06:46 AM

I never would have pictured Alec as McDowell

Wynter · 12-03-2008, 08:34 AM

I know! It's a bit of a random name, but I guess it doesn't really matter, as he only needed it for the ID, and the first name is more important anyhow

Pempees · 12-03-2008, 08:50 AM

Yeah. It must have been chosen randomly too. I wonder how Alec feels about his first name? I mean it chosen by a girl and stuff

Wynter · 12-04-2008, 03:01 PM

I don't think Alec minds too much, if at all, that his name was chosen by a girl, especially considering what girl it is

I'm actually inclined to believe he's proud of his name though, and he really likes it. Just because it describes one of the main aspects of his personality, what makes him him - being a smart-aleck!

If he hadn't of liked it, I'm sure he would've changed it

Pempees · 12-05-2008, 06:55 AM

Good point. I don't know is he really proud, but he must feel like it is his connection to Max and their relationship. And sure he had changed it if he felt it wasn't him.

MAX: Doesn’t suit you. I’m gonna call you Alec.
X5-494: Alec?
MAX: As in smart aleck.
X5-494: I can live with that.
MAX: Good. ‘Cause my second choice was Dick.

Dick

Wynter · 12-06-2008, 04:26 PM

Dick. I wouldn't be able to take him seriously if that was his name, I'm so glad Alec was the first choice! I can't even take guys I meet in real life with that name seriously

Re: whether or not he'd be proud, I don't know, for some reason I believe that all transgenics are proud of their names on some level. Just because it's the most important thing that distinguishes them apart from each other, and it gives them a sense of identity, rather than just being a number. But that's probably just me though!

Pempees · 12-07-2008, 06:10 AM

I wouldn't be either

i haven't never understood why someone gives name like that to their children.

True. Maybe the name gives them their identity what they never had back in Manticore. Max and the other original escapers had names before they escaped and I believe that to them the names were even more important. Names made them human, and their humanity made them want to go out.

SmilinStar · 12-09-2008, 04:21 PM

Going back to the McDowell thing, I wonder how Max got her surname?! Guevara's really quite an odd, uncommon surname too!

She wanted to tell him about something that was happening outside, where Joshua was attempting to break a new vase. Alec looked up and pouted, which made her feel kinda faint.

If I had to come up with a theory, I'd say it was something to do with the actual Che Guevara and his fight for freedom, I imagine that would strike a chord with Max. So much so that she'd adopt his name because she maybe stood for some of the same things he did.
