Haven’t you always wondereing what Lara Croft and Nara from Heavenly Sword would look like wearing identical outfits and wrapping around each other prepared to kiss? Ok, that particular arrangement had never crossed my mind (though I did meet a man on the train who claimed he was daydreaming about three Angelina Jolie’s going at it at once) but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it when I see it.
Lesbian Gamers, the super cool people who bring you queer coverage of today’s top titles, have started a new series of features: drawings of female game characters posed together as if they were couples. In addition to Lara and Nara, the first installment also brings us Alyx from Half Life and Jade from Beyond Good & Evil. After spending too much time at Rule 34, it may just be the cutest gay fan art you ever did see.

I think Nariko and Lara go well together… but Jade and Alyx? Please! I mean, they’re almost identical – they could be sisters!
Dr. Mossman and Alyx – there’s obviously so much sexual tension there. It’s why they argue all the time!
