Wait, are you saying Ben is Glory?

Ever since that awesome George=Neville fic, I've been thinking about other sekrit fandom equations.

There are only so many hero archetypes to go around--this probably isn't news to anybody. But I'm beginning to suspect that there are only so many sidekick archetypes to be distributed, too.

Nobody equals Cordy, Faith, Remus, Willow, PippinMerry, or Anya. They're the Falstaffs of fandom (shut up, Harold Bloom).

However,

Luna=River
Xander=Wash
Wesley (BtVS-era ONLY)=Percy
Leia=Hermione
Dumbledore=Gandalf
Boromir=Regulus
Wormtail=Gollum
Simon=Ben

Sam Gamgee also = Neville = George, btw.

And I suspect that Ginny is going to equal Mia. Sirius is too much of an archetype not to have an equal elsewhere, but I can't think of one, unless you believe the Star Wars novels where Solo is actually a prince who denied his birthright.

(OMG, can I please have my geekiness removed surgically? It's covered by OHIP, right?)

Any others that I'm missing?
