100 days of enemy recs: 32. Dresden Files
Dresden Files! For which I have to do Dresden/Marcone, even though canon gives us many (many many many) other intriguing possibilities.
Harry Dresden and John Marcone are one of those interestingly unbalanced foeyay pairs - Harry think John is an irredeemably evil, untrustworthy criminal scumbag. John thinks Harry is a generally competent and reliable colleague with whom he shares a lot of goals and values and with whom he would enjoy working more closely someday, should the occasion arise. Harry has no idea what to do with this because, forget all the rest, nobody has ever treated him like he was competent, reliable, and pleasant to work with before in his life.
(Harry is also the world's least reliable narrator, about everything but his own feelings most of all, which always makes shipping extremely entertaining, at least until you hit the point in canon where you go... oh. oh no. the author thought that bit of Harry's POV was actually accurate???)
Have some all-time favorites of mine.

Sometimes it's not a date at all, but the options were "sex ritual" or "human sacrifice" so you decided to pick the first one and just pretend really hard.
