They MIGHT, in canon in fanon, or humanverse or nationverse, be the ONLY fascinating ship. Mother of ALL ships. The IT couple throughout all decades. Name me one trope/theme they can't do well?
They can do it allll: opposites attract, grumpy x shunshine, childhood lovers, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, not-so-subtle pining slow burn, love at first sight passion, smut, fluff, historical, modern, futuristic. These two set the bar so extremly high. I cannot take interest in any other ship because all roads lead me to Rome. I see these two everywhere. I see them in the ying and yang, I see them in Geography, I see them in lovers, haters, enemies, frenemies, longing, music, passion, poetry, language, culture, philosophy, competence. You can stretch and bend this ship in sooo many ways. You like a more toxic dynamic? Talk abt their pinning during the world wars. You want soft and dynamic? You GOT IT. You want raging madness and rough petiness? You want jealousy, sex, bold, shy, subtle, loud? They can do it alll. GerIta isn't a ship. They are a promise. A song. A whisper in museum halls. A glow in the dark of a loud heavy metal 2000s club. They come in a SET. Do what you want with these two, but they stay together!!!
