Hey! Thoughts on Rachel/Apollo, Octavian/Ethan and Octavian/Alabaster?
Rachel/Apollo (Apolachel, Rachello) : It's great, really great. Just as friends it's a yes, as a couple, why not ? They trust and respect each other (when Apollo talk about Rachel it's always with admiration and respect). And the god could need someone like her in his life : Rachel is humble and straight forward, exactly what a narcissistic and self centered person like Apollo needs. So yes, I completely ship it.
Octavian/Ethan (Octhan, Ethavian) : YES ! A few months ago I considered it as one of my favorite pairings. Now I've taken some steps back but I still really really like it ! Ethan is cold tempered, Octavian is hot tempered, and both are in need of recognition. They could learn a lot from each other and their couple could be really unique and atypical. A very interesting and lovely pairing that I adore !
And, Octavian/Alabaster (Octabaster, Alavian, Alabavian, Octaster) : ......YES ! I never thought about it but yes ! It has a lot of potential ! Octavian and Alabaster are easily comparable : both stubborn, easily angry and with the impression that the whole world is against them (which... well... maybe is in fact true). I like the idea of them encountering after the second titan war, or even after the second gigantomachy if Octavian had survived, and bonding. It's a really cool ship that I'll start to consider, thanks to you anon. (And this made me realize that I don't ship Alabaster with any female character, so if you have some, let me know about it)
