My best friend said I should post about the romantic relationship in my au so I shall do that now :D
I made this neat little chart for the dynamics before Part 7 (aka before Act II)
feels homophobic to post this during pride month (I swear 90% are queer)
Honestly Iām just expanding on the season one canon, cause I wholeheartedly believe in lesbian Scarlett!!!
I think after like one or two weeks of dating Scarlett just came out to LJ telling him sheās into woman and itās not his fault and he just goes ādonāt worry Iām into men and women but I get youā (BISEXUAL :D)
Yet again this is already canon but from season 2, not really expanding on this one tho cause i feel like itās already perfect (one of my fav episodes tbh)
RIBBON!!! I love them, they are so precious to me, def one of my favourite if not my favourite Robin ship.
They kiss before Part 1 but is referenced a few times. Because of LJ (who is very sure of his sexuality), Robin figures out his own sexuality (another bisexual)
But due to the very homophobic environment Robin grew up in he didnāt feel like he could be with LJ </3
(Yes, LJ is sadly very unlucky with love)
For this one Iāll just paraphrase what I got told by some people: āI only like your Robin x Marian.ā
Donāt ask what I put into it, itās the angst I think but I have to agree most of the times I donāt like them as a ship (Robin is just too gay)
They liked each other for a rather long time, and at some point Marian got sick of waiting for him to ask her out so she asked him (he was a bit oblivious)
They are just really cute together and itās the most fluff a relationship gets in my au (the following is one of like 3-5 angst situations (hurt/lots of comfort))

Lastly itās time for Lou and Jay.
(I hate them so this IS biased (but everyone agrees or doesnāt dare to tell me otherwise)
Jay had a crush on Lou for AGES (never helped her during school while she had a rough time) and always pinned after her (not in a cute way)
She rejects him after Part 5 (kinda) or rather friendzones him.
They get together after EVERYONE tells Lou theyād make a great couple because they spend a lot of time together and regularly duel each other (Part 6) They also share some deep talk moments, which gives Jay hope. (She gets screamed at from Robin for giving him hope)
Eventually after Lou rejects Jay a second time (heās still pining but heās trying to not be weird) but she overthinks what her friends say.
Lou kisses him ā to find clarity and hides from Jay for like three days before but that only makes him AND her panic. Well eventually they talk it out but Lou needs a backdoor in everything so they set up a deal.
They got a few problems since Lou canāt fully open up to him and Jay always feels like sheās hiding something. Itās just a lot of tension between them (not sexual) (perfect time to mention: Lou is ace :3).
The tension increases even more right before Part 6 when Lou finds out that Jay is lying to her.
aka both of them broke the promise of āno keeping secretsā (kinda)
Iāll make another Post about the relationships during Act II in the next few weeks and after that Iāll give some summaries of the different Acts and Parts for more context :D
