Had to go and search in my tags because I was sure I had talked about what I imagine their dynamic to be post-collide and I was right ! To quickly recap they've both went through losing someone they were attached to, even if in very different ways, and due to their positions I think there's just all the potential for things to blossom...
In general I love to think about paint integrating into the felt fully and it's criminal I haven't made anything that touches upon it yet, I think she'd be greatly beloved and also respected, because I think having been unceremoniously assimilated into a tyrannical corpo-empire after having your alternate timeline boyfriend get mindcontrolled and whisked away would make anyone's nerves more susceptible, I like to think she'd do her best to make sure no one gets mistreated.
Crowbar past collide is so funny to me like...dude's fucking tired LOL he's just rolling with the punches and again dealing with more than a "second(sometimes third) in command" would normally have to due to circumstances, I think realistically he would be the one to get smitten first but also subsequently greatly try and suppress it because of past baggage... slowly as they spend more time together it would lead to him breaking out of his shell and actually interacting with her as a person and not just as a his role in the gang.
I just so think they deserve eachother, I Need them to get closure, my god.
