Laughn was just a more grown-up ship than Syd/Vaughn has ever been, and they both tried so hard until she turned evil and he suddenly stopped caring. And it WAS sad that she turned evil, because she was the best character ever before that. :P

They WERE so cute! But then he dumped her because she had issues. Even though she was trying to fix them.

I went totally crazy capping that scene, because alias-media wants to pretend it doesn't exist. :P And we made fun of Neiss SO BAD (I mean, I called it a "stupid badfic ship" on my LJ somewhere, I think) and now they're totally my Alias OTP. Though that sort of ended, too. :P
