An obligatory St Valentine's day post
Aribeth de Tylmarande and Fenthic Moss I happen to actually like them as a couple. I love the way Fenthic with his timid nerdy boy image NEVER fails to jump at her defence. And i refuse to believe that Aribeth never loved him.
Keegan and sir Nevalle Well, here's a couple that doesn't exist in game, but i wish it did. My head canon, Nevalle's whole "servant to his lord, father to his soldiers" image is a facade for his actual character. And true Nevalle is a power behind the throne that keeps lord Nasher in charge. He is loyal to Neverwinter, sure, he' just isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, when it is necessary. And then, Keegan comes into picture, unapologethicaly refuses to see the illusion of a knight in shining armor and goes straight after the dark concillor underneath.
Artessia 'Tess' Virr of Clan Lok and Theron Shan I refuse to elaborate, just go and witness the marvel of a Bounty Hunter/Theron romance in SWTOR yourself. No, i don't care that you need to play the whole Class storyline before RoR just to get there. It's great too, you know.
Dame Evelyn Graham and Javen Tarmikos Another couple that doesn't exist in game and the only time i actually would have liked 'Enemies to lovers' trope. Infuriatingly stubborn Inquisitor slooowly realising that no, this woman isn't a demon worshipper or a succubus sent to test his patience, then even more sloooooowly realising that the rest of her adventuring group probably aren't under a sway of the Abyss as well. All the while, Evelyn is internally going through all stages of grief, because she somehow managed to understand his reasonings for destroying her guild. AND IT MAKES SENCE! Cue a slowburn of two people coming to a realisation that they're actually not that different and in another circumstances might have been... A year later after game events, they do come to a conclusion that they don't need different circumstances to make it work.
Xiaoli and Ping Office Romance between the secretary of the princess and the Grand chancellor of the state. Nevermind, that one of them isn't even human. And his main point of reference for 'what romance even is' is, well, mass execution of the princess' suitors through a complicated process of asking them riddles then beheading them for one wrong answer. And last but not least:
Sillin Marigold and Aarin Gend (also featuring Mellon the Cat's tail) From my friend JenD's "The small stones". I wholleheartedly recommend it if you want a good Aarin Gend fic, a good NWN1 fic or a good fic in general. So, a selection of two paladins, two politicians and two spies... I guess, i do love me some political thrillers with religious vibes.
