I haven't done one of these in a while; I wonder how much my answers have changed.
The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and laughed about it and is genuinely sorry, but to whom you're reluctant to grant forgiveness, because you know how that song and dance would go:
My traditional answer would be Buffy, though I've mostly forgiven it at this point; I just have little desire to get back together with it in a serious way. My more recent answer might be Death Note.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp:
I really want to say Blake's 7, although, truth be told, I still get together with it relatively often.
The mysterious dark one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 AM at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized s/he really was fucking crazy:
Probably Lexx. If only you weren't so crazy, you would be so incredibly worth falling for all over again.
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor and whom you'd still really like to get with again, although you're relieved s/he doesn't actually live in town:
It probably says something about how I choose texts that I don't have one off the top of my head. I'm tempted, oddly, to say Jeremiah because it hit me fast and somewhat hard and then went away, but I keep thinking it would be nice to revisit.
The steady:
Long- or short-term? The steady, steady steady would have to be The Lord of the Rings, which has never been very far from me for the past 32 years. The steady of the past 5 years or so would be Mirage of Blaze because it's awesome and because its glacial rate of translation builds in that same-time-next-year dynamic that spurs on the passion in aging love affairs.
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties, but with whom you've never gotten serious (and find that it's a bit of a shame you haven't, at that):
Stargate: Universe or Caprica, for the same reason: I broke up with the guy who was supplying my episodes and didn't quite find the gumption to get the rest on my own.
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with, but ultimately you're just good buddies:
Maybe Star Trek--maybe DS9. Original Trek is my uncle, and I don't have alluring fantasies about my uncle... unless maybe when he gets rebooted.
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool person except it's never really gone anywhere:
To date, that might be Due South (just finishing season 1). Am thoroughly enjoying it but have yet to experience fandom urges.
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "How the hell did they land all these cool people?"
Farscape (hey, it brought me to LJ) or Babylon 5. (This dates myself and my friends.) That's with an emphasis on the "cool people." For more of an emphasis on the "how the hell," maybe Highlander, especially the movies.
The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and who you measure all other potential partners against:
Mirage of Blaze: it is the greatest love story ever told.
The one you recently met at a party and would like to get to know better:
Game of Thrones: I'm glad a friend introduced us.
The old flame that you wouldn't totally object to hooking up with again for a one night romp if only they'd clean up a bit:
The Vampire Chronicles. I know it's over, so there's little chance of a cleanup. But if only... if only it could give me more material that's actually on form...
Your hot new flame:
I'm going to echooaktree89: X-Men: First Class.
The one who stole your significant other:
I don't comprehend the question. We're discussing fandom exes, right? So this is the fandom that stole another fandom from me and ran off with it? Like a crossover that led to a great shark-jumping? Maybe Star Wars, insofar as the prequels kind of stole the original.
