D'artagnan and Kineta: That one couple that insists they're not a couple for the longest time, and never officially date or kiss or even hold hands, but man they're such a great team and they know everything about each other and always have each other's backs and maybe both secretly crush on the other but don't want to make the friendship awkward by admitting it and stay "just friends" for literally years and years.
Mia and Tide: A winged hobo girl and a shy shark boy met in Cali and fell in love. Almost immediately they make it official, have a very brief, private wedding in the style of the shark boy's culture, and start house-hunting. One year later they live on a tiny island off the coast and the girl is pregnant with twins. They are the couple that just seem incredibly happy together and never doubted the other was "the one" once they first met.
Luke and Nina: Bad boy + Good girl 100%. Nina is super sweet and super smart and studying to be a nurse, Luke is a homeless guy with a terrifying reputation and a knack for mechanics. Luke was Nina's first and last love, Nina was Luke's 20th. He realized how lucky he was to have her and stayed loyal to her until his dying breath.
Brandon and Wilder/Boar-back: My absolute trash grandpas who I love very much. Brandon is an elderly, angry doctor made entirely of salt and Swedish bitters. Boar-back(real name Wilder) is a tall, handsome, weathered old bandit warlord with horrible scars and enough chill to neutralize a bucket of jalapenos. At first they hated each other, but then Boar-back started to jokingly flirt with Brandon and Brandon realized "oh frick he's actually really hot and kind of a cool dude". Eventually he started to subtly flirt back…..and now they're very much a couple, although they still refuse to admit it and argue almost constantly. Being the surrogate parents of a pack of idiots bandits is the only thing that keeps them together lol.
I have plenty more, but those are my faves rn ahaha
oki- so I have a ship between my two main characters-
Athena and Faryn (or as I like to call them Greek Fairy)
I want you to meet Athena, uptight-no jokes- fluent in 6 languages and also sarcasm-and is probs smarter than you- 19yr old, then pair that with Faryn, a 19yr old reckless Italian bisexual who tries to act tough but last week she spent 15min apologizing to a log she tripped over. So now that you know who they are, I'll tell you about their relationship
Athena and Faryn meet on their first day of 1st grade, they shortly became best of friends. They basically grew up together, until they hit 6th grade. Athena's parents are strict and are sort of a bit controlling, being like this they decided to send Athena to an all-girls boarding school. Not being allowed to take any electronic devices with her, she and Faryn grow apart.
Now back to Faryn. Well, to put it simply, Athena moving away was really hard on Faryn. On top of that, Athena left suddenly and without a chance to actually say goodbye, Faryn spent the first few weeks crying over the fact she might never she Athena again. When she finally got over Athena, Faryn began to research what she wanted to do with her life. When Faryn finally reached college, she didn't even make it past her second year when she discovered she wanted to be an adventurer. Meanwhile, Athena has also graduated, now heading back home.
Their meeting is so angsty- it summary, it just Faryn seeing Athena somewhere/ or going to her house to welcome her, and Athena is just like "Excuse me, but…who are you?" and Faryn is just shocked, "you don't remember me?" and before Athena could awnser, Faryn leaves.
and I've just now realized ive typed WAY too much- so i'll the rest for another day-
critics are welcome!!
Aster & Fortune
They were supposed to hate each other from a distance due to Complicated Familial Rivalry, but when Aster went to mercenary school just as Fortune did, they immediately…abhorred each other. Fortune spent his childhood with a verbally and physically abusive mother who made him feel never good enough and worthless unless he made her happy–and how he managed to make her happy was playing with people's weaknesses. He immediately pushed Aster's buttons, they fought, and then later they realized, hey, mercenary school's tough alone, and so they formed an uneasy truce that slowly helped make both of them better people and cemented the two of them as brothers from another mother.
Foxglove & Adeline
The power couple of my world.
Adeline is an aro ace femme fatale who tried to hook a detective into finding her friend by seducing him, but Foxglove wasn't having it. They came to an agreement: Foxglove would pretend to fall for Adeline's wiles while finding her friend, and if he ran into problems Adeline would fetch him out of it. When the friend was found, they found themselves missing the other person's company, and so they came to a permanent agreement. So while they make out and Adeline plays the perfect femme fatale in the public eye, they argue and banter while solving crimes behind closed doors.
Foxglove & Marofiro
This is a ship driven almost entirely by UST. Marofiro is a criminal mastermind the likes of Moriarty, a man who ran away from his family because he rebelled against his arranged marriage and the restrictive nature of his religious life with the aid of his deity (his agender grandparent Marodia). Foxglove loves uncertainty and playing the field, and isn't above flirting with a criminal to throw them off guard, but he quickly finds he's not fully in control of his mind when he's around Marofiro, and that is a Problem as the two square up. And Marofiro is a gay mess who doesn't know how to respond to this handsome nemesis whom Fate (cough cough Marodia) keeps throwing into his path. It never becomes canon, but it adds new levels of difficulty for the two participants.
I love messy relationships tbh and these seem like some perfect examples of those XD
Dura Fjorgan & Homraz Fjorgan
Alpha meets omega at college.
They have a group project together.
They work together and get an A+.
They hang out more as friends.
Alpha helps Omega during their heat (PLATONICALLY).
Omega catches some feels, Alpha returns feels.
They court for two years then have a traditional Surag orc wedding.
Omega gets preggers. Alpha is overjoyed.
For dates they go hunting with the clan or hiking.
andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) Livingstone x Nia (last name coming soon)
How they met? Oh so andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) Livingstone is a nice but naive kid about the age of 15. He wanted to go home but he got lost. He found Nia (also lost) and Asked her for directions to The Evin house is. Nia understood where told him the directions to The place and he went. The next day he went to school and he was surprised that Nia was the new student that was coming today. (More coming soon)
Carlos and Jayvyn – So Carlos is one of the good guys, and Jayvyn is technically a bad guy, so they have this whole secret relationship forbidden love thing. Funny thing is, they actually met online and they didn't even know that they knew each other. Neither of them are my main character, so I didn't get to write too much detail about them yet. Jayvyn realized who Carlos was like two texts in and did not care at all. Carlos didn't know who she was until they arranged to finally meet and he thought she was gonna kill him when he saw her and then she just like,,, kissed him. So yeah, and there's this whole situation where shes supposed to kidnap the main character and meanwhile Carlos is texting everyone else like 'im not telling you how i know but someone is comingggg' and she just lets him bc she loves him and wants to be good i guess. They like remain otp for a while until Carlos (seemingly) dies at the hand of her father.
Jayvyn and Nera – After Carlos kinda died Jayvyn was like real sad. So when she stopped grieving she met up with Nera, who also used to be a bad person but followed Jayvyn to the good side. They eventually realize they love each other and that's a whole thing. Jayvyn is obviously really scared bc her last love person died and she loves Nera. And also bc shes pretty sure her dad won't like the fact that she's coming out as bi not long after her brother died. There's also the fact that her dad is evil and she's not anymore so like,,,, everything kinda makes her worry now.
and then the last ship I can remember makingggg,,,,,,,,
Karsyn and Carlos – Karsyn is my main character and she actually used to date Jayvyn's brother but I forgot about that so I haven't made any details about that. Well anyways, it turns out Carlos didn't die hes just been imprisoned for a while and maybe tortured a lil. So he escapes on his own bc I wanted to write it that way and he comes back and Jayvyn is with Nera now and hes a sad bean. Karsyn lifts his spirits and they start out as friends and they just get really close. Eventually Carlos realizes he has feelings for her but never asks her out just because shes the main character and has way too much crap to deal with. Karsyn, who has also developed feelings, is happy that they're close now but doesn't want to ask him out after everything he's been through. Her older brother Ryker notices the two dancing around each other and straight up just makes them date. hes like 'yeah, no. Carlos how bout you take my sister to a nice dinner, yeah?' and I still haven't decided who's gonna man up and say something but they start doing that. and I still haven't decided if I'm gonna kill off Karsyn in the end or not so who knows if they live happy ever after.
The end.
I have some that are canon and not canon. I will say my opinion on them. I will say whether or not they are canon.
Azrael x Allison: Friendship turned into something else. (not canon)
Allison x Faith: In my opinion, one of the cutest one in my book. (canon)
Allison x Rachel: Incest, so no. (not canon)
Chris x Allison: Can't happen, because Chris is gay. (not canon)
Azrael x War: One of the cutest ships in my book. (canon)
Rachel x Faith: Could be canon?. (not canon?)
Rachel x Azrael: could work. (not canon)
Vozrael (Vozreal x Azrael): Couldn't work, and not because they're bitter enemies. Vozreal is genderfluid, but leans towards being masculine, and Azrael is lesbian. Also Vozreal is asexual. (not canon)
That's all of the possible ships in my book that I could think of.
Oooh I’ve got some ships!
Ignis x Septima: They’ve known each other a long time and have always been pretty close. They are presented as a more pre-existing relationship. They are super supportive of each other. Ignis is cool, calm, and collected. They balance out Septima’s slightly more hot-headed tendencies. Septum’s has inspired Ignis to be more assertive.
Fiera x Moreau: Princess and her retainer romance. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. They know each other so well at this point, and the level of care they have for each other is so much more than either of them holds for anyone else.
Aurelius x Pollux: Soft boi/badass combo. They balance each other out well in terms of thoughts vs emotions, and they constantly fret over each other. I’m thinking of making their relationship poly because there’s a third guy, Cyrus, who is an ex of Pollux (they were on good terms), and he fits into the overall dynamic quite well.
my main characters, nathan and cliff. their whole relationship is pretty screwed up bc in middle school nathan kidnaps and stabs cliff and throws him into a lake bc cliff bullies him (like, really badly). cliff's parents are both dead, and cliff's sister, upon hearing of her brother's death, kills herself. cliff blames nathan for his sister's death. nathan frames his abusive father for cliff's murder and runs away. cliff joins the military for financial reasons and works his way up, but can no longer deal with the moral repercussions of the country's reasons for war and turns against them, becoming a wanted sniper. nathan, on the other hand, makes a business out of his logical skills and becomes more or less a murderer for hire. he doesn't do the murdering, he does the planning, the backstory, the plotting. when both characters are in their late twenties, nathan finds himself in need of a sniper, and ends up with cliff. the two hate each other, but are reluctantly allies as nathan needs a sniper and cliff needs a place to stay and food (nathan is very rich). pretty much, over the course of the story, they start to open up to each other and become friends. what i originally had in mind for the ending involved the villain kidnapping cliff (to get to nathan), and shooting cliff, who dies in nathan's arms, and then nathan no longer valuing his life without cliff and killing the villain, and himself in the process. buuuuuuuut, i've gotten too attached to kill them. thinking about just letting them be happy and confess their feelings.
but if i do THAT, someone else has to die. i'm leaning towards edward, nathan's "butler" (father figure who is technically paid to clean up for him, but they're really friends). the thing is, in the story, edward has a great coming out scene (yes, everyone is gay) and even gets married!! all very sweet. it would make my heart hurt to kill him.
lol this became really long and makes no sense thank you for listening to my ramblings
That is all very very sweet but wait, does Cliff die or not at the beginning?? I'm confused XD
Also I honestly think you could/should kill off Edward??? Like it sounds harsh, but as far as your options go, he seems like a good choice. If you have him come out and start planning a wedding, and then he tragically dies (maybe while protecting Nathan or something?) That's a great way to make the reader cry without getting in the way of the main romance. Plus it would really help make your villains seem horrible and give your surviving characters lots of motivation to win the battle. It's all up to you though, those are just my thoughts ^^
oh rip my bad that was unclear he is stabbed and thrown in a lake and basically goes missing so everyone thinks he's dead but he's not. also thank you so much, thats really helpful!! :)
Ah I see, that's what I suspected but I wasn't sure lol. And I'm glad to help!! ^^
Ooohh boy, okay, heres my faves
Calix and Melody - Probably my top fave ship of my characters! Melody is very outgoing and kind and just all around a sweetheart. Shes not one to judge people, especially if she doesn't know them. She has to move a lot because of her fathers job so shes never really had a close group of friends or even liked anyone for that matter. Calix is kind of a mess. He struggles with depression and low self esteem. A lot of things that involve the plot of the story are reasons for it, such as his last girlfriend cheating on him. Hes a bit of an outcast, hes not necessarily bullied, but people just tend to ignore him since his brother "died" and they assumed he killed him, which he didn't. Melody moves to his school and after hearing a bunch of rumors about him, she becomes curious and basically being Melody, she decides that she has to become his friend, mainly because she feels bad. She kind gets caught up in a bunch of stuff in his life, such as saving his brother who is not dead but instead trapped inside of a portal lol. They got through a lot together and start to like each other probably about halfway through the story but both are so distracted by their own problems and trying to save his brother that they kinda just ignore it. Eventually they do get together at the end though ^^
My other one:
Lilly and Grant - These two are so cute. They're childhood friends and grew up together. Grant is basically considered the "king" of the school. Everyone looks up to him and basically does whatever he says. Shes very much a leader. Hes got a bit of a temper though and snaps very quickly, only really tries to control it around Lilly because he knows that it scares her. Lilly is very shy, super quiet, and pretty much keeps to herself. Her life kinda sucks, she guts bullied and emotionally and occasionally physically abused by her moms boyfriend. Grant is only slightly aware of all of this, but he has a suspicion. Their relationship is mainly the two of them comforting each other and their making out afterwards lol.
