Aliens Squee HetBigBang Hicks Flail OMG!

[hiddencait]

*cough* Ahem... I'm OK I swear! Just having a minor flail moment at the freaking epic shipperness that is Aliens and Hicks/Ripley.

And yes.. I know I'm even FARTHER behind on the bandwagon with this one than I was with Mag7. What of it? lol 

Anyway, hell fucking yes this movie makes me happy. Sadly that it's basically an massacre of quite a few awesome side characters, but really... how am I NOT supposed to enjoy a flick with this much in the way of smexy weaponry?

Plus: Michael Biehn as Corporal Dwayne Hicks? Ummmm yes please! Not only is he young and badass, with equal parts angsty and stoic leader type personality traits. He also SMILES!! Like a fool! For like... a good chunk of the first section of the movie. Which really, he hasn't done much in the other things I've swooned over him in. Which is just a damn shame frankly.

So yeah: here's some hotness:


Annnnnd how bout this one just for good measure lol


And again the shipper possibilities are freaking EPIC I TELL YOU! Ripley and Hicks are eyesexing all over the place, and fuck if he doesn't actually respect her too! I mean really, since when does that happen in most fandoms?

Plus, he gives her jewelry (though it doesn't mean they're engaged or anything lol) anddddddddddddd he introduces her to his favorite weaponry:


If that's not a sign of awesome chemistry I don't know what is. 

So yeahhhhh after searching for fic and being totally unhappily disappointed by the lack there of, I may have to switch my pairing for het_bigbang to Ripley/Hicks. Just on principle. 

Thoughts, questions, comments? Help for the fact that I don't have a fucking CLUE what plot would be? You know, besides my complete denial of the 3rd movie in general. So there.

First off, let me just tell you that I love you if only for the fact that you recognize the sheer hotness that is Hicks and are attempting to add to the paltry collection of fic out there celebrating the amazing ship that is Ripley/Hicks. They are AWESOME. I have been been in love with Aliens from the tender age of 10 (Michael Biehn has ruined me for any other man...other than hubby, of course).

Please, please, please write your fic. The lack of good Ripley/Hicks is starting to really piss me off!

Whoo hoo! Gotta enjoy mutual fandom love! I'm quite stunned at myself that I've missed that hotness up until now, but I'm definitely all in lol.

And yes I am writing it as we speak! It's for het_bigbang so I can't post all of it anywhere until September, but I do have a little snippet up in my most recent LJ entry!
