Fine Pairings

It's part one of the holiday fic exchange between Grace and Claire. This episode is a gift from Claire to Grace with an Aaron Carter fanfic that Claire only just before recording learned was not actually what Grace asked for. But like any good gift, it was what she needed. - Pairing: Hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schnapps. Add marshmallows if desired, remember you'll need vegan marshmall...

It's beginning to look a lot like...fanfic, and there's no place like HGTV for the holidays! Grace found a Mary Sue type fanfic on the Property Brothers because Claire demanded that there be no twincest. - Pairing: A Fuzzy Navel, or whatever the first drink you've ever ordered in a bar was. Because the relationship in this fic feels just as inexperienced as you did that first time the bartender as...

This week is an homage to fanfic with a Harry Potter fic that gets meta about fanfiction. See the secret lives of the characters when they aren't starring in the fanfics that we all know and love. - Pairing: Felix Felicis ("Liquid Luck") - Mix 1/4 oz simple syrup and 1/4 oz lemon juice in the bottom of a champagne flute, add the ginger beer and fill with champagne. -  Want to read this fic for you...

There's much to be thankful for this week, including a bonus episode from Fine Pairings! This week Grace and Claire are thankful that After was made into a movie. It's everything you could hope it could be. - Pairing: Grace and Claire are drinking BuzzBallz Tequila 'Rita Cocktails because it seemed ridiculous and like maybe something you would drink in college, but probably don't actually drink in...

Grace reminds the audience that she knows nothing of popular culture, so reading a Good Omens fanfiction was always going to be a stretch without Claire explaining basically the whole show. This whole podcast is basically the Odd Couple, but so is Good Omens! - Pairing: A non-alcoholic hibiscus tea, paired with the idea that you are a Victorian child and if you spend time outside in any form of we...

  For this Halloween special Claire and Grace dive into paranormal activity! But instead, Claire went deep into Buzzfeed Unsolved for our Halloween episode! - Pairing: A Blue Devil. Mix 1 oz light Bacardi Rum, 1/2 oz blue curacao, 1 oz pineapple juice. Rim glass with sugar (preferably confectioners sugar, but Claire only had cane sugar) using lime juice. -  Want to read this fic for yourself? Give...

Grace continues the streak of wearing a shirt that matches our fic today and is sporting a matching shiner. Which if you haven't seen Fight Club (like Claire) it means that she's got a black eye, which is just extra. Everything comes back to Hashtag John Green for Claire. #JohnGreen, it's John Green all the way down. - Pairing: Dr. Pepper...and a slug of Fireball! Don't have a concussion with this...

Alien abduction can get weird...there can be tentacles. There can be eggs. There can be a thousand things that make Claire barf, so instead, she brought something a little tamer. Gravity falls...with alien abductions. - Pairing: Pour a base of pineapple juice into a tumbler of your choice, carefully pour the blue curacao over a spoon so that it floats on top of the pineapple juice. Carefully carry...

What is the plot of Cats? Does anyone really know? Grace would say the answer is yes, but Claire would argue...no one really knows the true plot of cats.  - Pairing: White Zin wine, because...'80s. Pair it with your ideas of what the '80s were: High sugar, high alcohol, and strangely pink. Because it's actually Franzia.  -  Want to read this fic for yourself? Give this author the kudos they deserv...

Grace didn't make it easy for Claire to come up with a good intro for this pairing. It's a fanfiction about the brother and sister Folger's commercial, yes, THAT Folger's commercial. But don't worry, Claire kept it as G as she could. Our cocktail pairing is a Mexican Mudslide: 1 oz Kahlua, 1 oz Rum, 1.5 oz cream or to taste. Or buy a premix like Claire and serve in a coffee mug. -  Want to read th...

Grace and Claire return to their roots, the 90's, and dive into a Rugrats fanfic. The babies are back! But this time, with a dark twist. - Pairing: A dirty Shirley. Sprite, Geradine, and vodka. Served in a tiki cup, for whimsey. Rugrats...but rated M for mature. -  Want to read this fic for yourself? Give this author the kudos they deserve? You can find this fic on Fanfiction.net, Title: Pickles D...

A long time ago in a fanfiction written far, far away...Young padawan Claire brings Grace a fanfiction set in the crusading times, featuring Star Wars characters Rey and Kylo Ren in a retelling of a famous ballad by the same name.  Our cocktail pairing was a twist on the green fairy: 1.5 oz grey goose vodka, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz melon schnapps, 0.5 oz sour apple, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Stir and...

Oh Baby! Grace delivers one hell of a fanfic: A sweet little one shot featuring Captain America and a very pregnant Iron Man.
