"Le'garde lead a military invasion on Ragnvaldr's home that murdered his entire village including his wife and children. Ragnvaldr's entire reason for being in the dungeon is to kill him in revenge and take back what he stole. there is NO reason in ANY reasonable world for them to get along, there are MULTIPLE scenes in-game where you have to stop rags from murdering him on sight. Tell me that isn't PRIME enemies to lovers material. also le'garde pretends to have amnesia when you meet him so there's SOOOOO much potential for false redemption and betrayal and all of that. there's also a sense of `really? THAT one? of ALL the people you've met in the dungeon,`"
"Propaganda is.... unfortunately for Ivlis, that may actually be the healthiest relationship available to him. His other love interests tend to torment if not outright abuse him, or HE'S abusing THEM, and Lico is pretty much the only person who genuinely cares about him and wants him /happy,/ above his own wants. Although it's been taken down(so possibly isn't canon anymore?), there's an infamous comic of them called Dangerous Night, where Lico, currently in his adult form, gives into his urges and sneaks into Ivlis's room and Does Stuff while he's sleeping...... aaaand is IMMEDIATELY hit with the guilt and disgust upon post-nut clarity. He spends so much time protecting him, getting him out of trouble with his dad, actively hurting said dad for trying to torment ivlis further, and just generally being his white knight. In the little official-au where licorice is magical girl'd, Lico pretty much takes on a Tuxedo Mask kind of persona, and i think that tells you everything you need to know. and all of this combined with the fact that he actually seems to mostly respect that ivlis doesn't feel the same yet, so you have PLENTY of room for indefinite pining over thousands of years of two immortal lives."
