Best shipwith less than 100 works on AO3 round 1 part 3: Vin x Elend vs Iko x James x Harry
Vin x Elend
James x Harry
Vin x Elend (94): "They are THE POWER COUPLE!!! She's the brawn, with powers and skill so strong she could kill 300 soldiers in 15 minutes, and he's the brains, able to craft a whole new government after the overthrowing of the old oppressive one and then going on to lead it as king. Also they're noble x peasant(to say it lightly), introvert x introvert, & spy (kind of) x the mission (not directly, but still)
She has abandonment issues thanks to her brother--among others--but Elend broke the cycle for her. When she was in a corner, he come to help her, and even though he knew she had lied to him about her identity doesn't really do much (he is, again, the brains) this act changes Vin's brain chemistry. She says, and I quote: "You came back. No one's ever come back before." 🥹😭
Above everything else, they trust each other, and this trust is so deep that when Vin did kill those aforementioned 300 soldiers in 15 minutes, while the rest of the crew thought she was going a bit loony, he firmly thought that she did it for a good reason. She didn't. But then, even when she told him that, he didn't care and continued supporting her. Elend also appreciates her absolute trust in him, bc even when he feels like everything falling apart around him (being king is STRESSFUL), he always has her to turn to and she always fully supports his every decision and believes him to be a great king.
They both feel like they don't deserve the other but they love and complement each other SO MUCH. I freaking love them!"
James x Harry (31): "They give me Victorian naval era jock and nerd vibes"

Something that I’ve realized is that Brandon Sanderson is very good at writing about nerdy men that are absolutely in love with their strong wives/girlfriends.
1. Elend and Vin
2. Sazed and Tindwyl
3. Sarene and Raoden
I will add more to the list as they come to me. I’m currently reading Elantris and have a long way to go in the cosmere. (So please no spoilers in the comments)
Can't stop thinking about Spook being forced to listen to newlywed Elend and Vin fuck during Well of Ascension its just too funny to me. I know my boy was out there SUFFERING.
Now, what kinda talk is that?” he demanded. “You’ve given up? Is that how the Ascendant Warrior was? Huh?” “No, in fact,” Marasi said. “She walked up to the man she wanted, slapped the book out of his hand, and kissed him.” “See, there’s how it is!” “Though the Ascendant Warrior also went on and murdered the woman Elend was planning to marry.” “What, really?” “Yeah.”
…is this how it went in the musical
Unpopular opinion: Vin/Elend is actually really well written.
Not because of the pining/buildup in the first book, but because of the way the established relationship was written in books two and three. It's rare to see characters together, on screen, in stories. Rarer still to see them having problems that they work through, arguments, doubts, differences, and issues that they overcome because they love each other, even if they're different people. Rarest of all to see love that lets a character sacrifice their loved one for the world as the loved one would want, instead of sacrificing the world for the loved one.
I started writing another dumb Mistborn au thing, maybe go check it out if you like dumb aus?
