What is your favorite romantic relationship that exists within your cast (main characters or otherwise). What is it like and why do you love it so much?
Bonus: will it work long term, or is it destined to end in tragedy?
Happy Blorbo Blursday!
I prefer platonic or familial dynamics myself when it comes to my casts but I do dabble in the occasional romance.
The one I'm currently turning over in my mind is Dream Jumpers, the ship name for my two ocs Jas and Killian.
The romance between Jas and Killian is post-canon, going from strangers to friends during their main story then friends to lovers after. It is a love born of philia (friendship) and pragma (enduring) before ever becoming eros (romantic).
Killian fell first, a gradual harboring of a crush that bloomed not long after their first meeting. And Jas fell harder, realizing all at once her feelings towards him in the midst of a stressful time.
It's the sort of connection that arises from shared circumstance, overcoming obstacles and working together to reach the common goal, and then after being a duo for so long they almost can't imagine parting.
There is a brief period of mutual pining after Jas falls where she is uncertain of Killian's feelings towards her, unaware that he has been hopelessly in love with her for almost as long as she's known him.
As for it working out long term, I firmly believe the only way this relationship will end at the death of one or both. And so do they, as explored in this snippet.
But, as long as they continue being whumpable characters, that won't happen for a long time yet. If at all. >:3
