For ppl who say Sylus and Zayne wouldn't get along....idk about that. To me, I 100% see them finding a lot of things in common with each other. Especially if it's a modern au (doctor and gang leader both bond over the fact that they are wife guys). They are two of the most empathetic and caring characters out of all the LIs. They both care for people deeply in their own special ways, are both perceived as intimidating or hard to get along with, have experienced deep isolation, self loathing, and self doubt throughout their years, and both have hobbies/interests I think the other would find very interesting!
Where Sylus is world weary and naturally imposing, Zayne has a difficult time expressing himself in a way that comes off comforting for others. They both long for quiet and peaceful lives with the person they love. Animals seem to gravitate towards them constantly and they both enjoy nature (he's a good man, Savannah). Both are incredibly intelligent in multiple ways and would 100% get into hour-long yapping sessions about their interests and niche trivia they know.
It's an unlikely connection, but a connection I see being very important between them. Sylus would respect Zayne greatly for his profession and professionalism, while Zayne would be a bit put off by Sylus' work until he actually sees how complicated and multifaceted the business is (like a "damn u live like this" reaction) and finds himself rather impressed by how Sylus can manage all of it. That and both their sleep schedules are fucked (insomnia buddies).
And they're both major dorks that are kind of awkward when they're out of their element (they would both just kind of stand next to each other at a really loud gathering and just people watch).
Like pleasaaseeeeee tell me u guys see this. They would enjoy each other's company so much and that's a super rare thing for them!!!!
