Actually since I’ve got so many projects juggling and it’s up to random chance what gets done first imma note down the (currently) “cannon” ships of barkeeps boon.
As in I’d write them either implied or like text.
Please note some of these may start in forsaken hell and grow post cannon:
77noli- they dated before the incident (breakup so bad one of them exploded about it lol) and once they got on the same page and apologized properly they were able to pick things back up pretty quick and even more intense than before. But weirdly healthy??? Good for them.
1x7noli- that’s a post cannon ship but it does start in 1x befriending these two losers. 1x is low key aromatic at the very least so she’d probably have taken a while to fall in love anyways.
JohnJane- they’re married. John loves his wife so muuuuuch. Like literally one of the au conflicts is learning someone he trusted did something that hurt his wife. Jane literally agrees to go to forsaken for the chance her husband is there. They’re not the most exciting ship but they’re so in love, super healthy relationship they just gotta get over the bump of John repressing his feelings and Jane being so willing to throw her life away to find John. (Like to an unhealthy degree John is actually worried if he dies first she’d fall apart)
Buildershed- old man yaoi :3. Ok but for real these two have been pining since Telamon days, worlds slowest burn, Shedlesky kept his feelings to himself because “we’ve been friends so long and been through so much it’d make romance complicated” and Builderman feels he has too much weight to carry and doesn’t want to burden Shedlesky with that. But once they get on the same page (and Taph politely locks them in a closet or something) they’ll figure it out and kind of easily transition into an old married couple vibe.
Doomclock- this one isn’t as big on account of clockwork is outside of forsaken hell and mr Doombringer is uh one of the killers. But clockwork is a part of the b plot because he needs to find out why his boyfriend went AWOL and wants to know what happened, he knows he was hiding something that was eating him up, and he feels guilty he didn’t do more sooner. Once a boon all I really got noted down for Doom is “I miss my wife tails” so any Doomclock fans willing to give thoughts or opinions I’d be so grateful.
Noob666- THEM THE THEM THEYRE SO AAIGDJHFF THEM T^T they make me Ill they are everything they are besties they are in love they’d have promise rings Noob feels guilty for Sixer’s spiral into addiction to the scripts Sixer feels gutted that their dissapearence sparked Noob to get addicted to bloxy. They are beauty and the beast they are long lost lovers they are diehard for each other OUGH. Once they communicate and figure it out they’ll be really solid, not perfect but they’ll have a really good foundation for a future relationship, friendship and romantic. They are the others person. And Noob gets a demon partner and is so down.
Doublepizzadebt- is that the name for the ElliottxchancexMafioso ship? Because them. Admittedly I haven’t got many thoughts yet but I really like the dynamic. Plus if I set it up right you’d think it’d be some sort of love triangle bs but surprise! It’s polyamery! Elliot might be the one who has to bring it up like “I’m cool with dating you both” and chance and mafioso are like “oh! Cool!” But for real chance helping elliot to relax more, elliot helping chance lock in more. Mafioso helping elliot learn to delegate more, elliot being a breath of fresh hair and warmth for mafioso. Chance and mafioso being one of the others first real friends and the drama of mafioso having to do his job when chance stole from his family. There’s something here I just need to cook!
Uh honorable mention ichance- I don’t know if it’s cannon but while they’re definitely ex friends I’m not against wiggle room for ex lovers either. But it wouldn’t be like, text.
Uhh that’s all I got I think, if I forgot something I’ll add it, beyond that I got crack ships that aren’t necisarily cannon but I can elaborate on if asked. But this au is more about overcoming hurdles and stuff. Shipping isn’t the priority.
If anything there’s a lot of relationship dynamics beyond romantic here, familial, mentor mentee, friendship, found family, coworkers, etc.
