Audrey Parker: It's not a date.
Nathan Wuornos: No, sure. Of course. That's why I've never seen you so nervous. Because of your non-date.

-sex is cardio
- trying to dismiss Audrey and Nathan's love for each other (what you feel for Audrey isn't real/ did she love you as much as you loved her?)
-Nathan:'are you even capable of love'
-“I kinda love you, Duke” and William knowing that Mara didn't love him as much as he did her
- Although there are some unfortunate implications with Mara being aromantic and Audrey being aro-spec. Like she's more worthy after she does experience romantic love/attraction. But I guess it is kinda acknowledged as an iffy choice by Charlotte.
*Next to Audrey, Mara is the clearest character because she was around for a whole season. Mara, as the base personality, seems the most aromantic, so unlike with Lucy and Sarah were there isn’t enough material, I would consider Mara ‘fully’ aromantic, a so-called no-attraction aromantic instead of using aro as an umbrella term. She definitely likes sex and experiences sexual attraction and is good at manipulate people with it.
Of course, that’s kinda iffy considering she’s a villain, who kills people and uses people, including sexually. Like, yeah she’s done horrible things, sometimes for no reason, although the version we know does have a good reason to be as messed up as she is (having your personality wiped and overlayed for 500 years will do that to a person). Not to mention the Audrey split also affected her. But she was also unapologetic about who she is and she was a fun character. And I prefer my villains to do things for their own purposes and if your show centers on a horrible punishment the crime better it the crime and with her it did.
Enough about her overall character, let’s get back to the aro thing. It’s possible she did care about William, and she did find him funny but she didn’t seem to actually love him. She liked what William was willing to do for her but she didn’t share his feelings.
With Nathan, there was certain attraction, she liked his body and would have liked to manipulate him through sex and kissing and the attraction and feelings he has for Audrey but even though Nathan was a mess, he wasn’t enough of a mess to do that, and in fact he manipulated her back by treating her like Audrey to get Audrey back. After it becomes clear to her that Nathan wont be manipulated like that she loses interest in him. Their relationship ends up becoming antagonistic.
Then there’s Duke, who she straight up manipulated and used, even if she might have cared about him in a vague way. Even though she talks about how they would have made a good team and she’s sorry for using him, she can only say she ‘kinda loves’ him. That’s pretty aro, excluding all the terrible things she did.
She doesn’t end up getting to interact with other women much at all. there’s the woman she kills to get her outfit and she does seem to enjoy Vickie and Jody as products of her gifts, but there’s not enough to consider whether she was attracted to women. She does talk about bi!Veronica in a mocking tone so, who knows. (I am glad they didn’t go into a semi-incesty interest in Audrey)
So, finally, I think the reason I like the idea that all the overlays are some type of aromantic, is to deal with the vague aro coding in Mara that is kinda ugly, left on it’s own. because love is such an important part of the overlays’ narratives, and Mara seems aro and not fitting in her own world, while the overlays are ‘better’ and especially with Audrey, more ‘worthy’. And the whole ‘kill the one you love the most’ thing, for Mara I guess that was supposed to be William but I also like the idea that it doesn’t just mean romantic love every time, which we know is possible from Lucy’s cycle So, yeah, I like to view her as aromantic, even if it’s not necessarily the best rep wise.
Aro Haven Savers 4/6: Cupioromantic!Lexie DeWitt (Haven 4x1 Fallout to 4x4 Lost and Found)
From meta: *Lexie hadn’t ever been in love, although she still possibly felt the love other personalities had felt (I’m sure there’s a term that kinda fits, but I’m not sure)
=cupioromantic, wanting a romantic relationship even though one doesn’t feel romantic attraction
*She’s in her 30s and never been in love before, although she had pursued relationships and wanted to have a relationship with ‘a decent guy’ and was very flirty and forward.
So, you could think that if, like William assumed/wanted, she was feeling an ache in her heart as leftoever feeling from Audrey/Sarah(Lucy) for Nathan, that might be a bit cupio-esque in the real world. As always, she’s allosexual, possibly bi/pan, depending how you interpret her relationship with Rhonda.
Also:
William: You remember it but you didn’t feel it.
Lexie: You ever ride on a bench seat for four hours straight? Believe me, I felt it.
*confusing physical and emotional feeling, that’s pretty aro.
A Decent Guy (Nathan/Lexie season 4 AU, I will be writing Lexie as cupio there)

Arospec Haven Savers 3/6: Sarah Vernon (2x2 Fear & Loathing; 3x9 Sarah & 3x13 Thanks for the Memories)
From my aro!Audrey meta:
“Sarah was into casual sex, maybe fell for Nathan on that first day (frayromantic? I think that's the opposite of demiromantic, only attracted to strangers)“
https://archiveofourown.org/works/9982589/chapters/39076075
-yes, I was right, fray- is the opposite of demi-.
*now, I think it’s impossible to tell because Sarah got so little screentime, only at the beginning and the end of her journey, during which she’s pregnant. She clearly felt strong sexual attraction towards Nathan, but whether any of it was romantic is anyone’s guess. So I’m putting her under the aro umbrella rather than anywhere specific, although doing this graphic I liked how many ‘without context this seems kinda queer’ lines she has.
