Everyone else: Omg I've missed you guys! It's been so long, let's catch up!
Lindon and Yerin:
Currently obsessing over lindon and yerin just falling asleep around each other
Lindon laser focusing in on a soulsmith project only to come of his own head to a yerin asleep against his back. Them just collapsing in a heap on the nearest surface big enough after a particularly taxing day
They just bounce around in my head, occasionally spawning a thought
Bonus Battle Couple Poll: Mod being self indulgent
I love battle couples but it wouldn't be fun if I nepotismed all of my faves into bracket (also they would've been swept and I would've been sad). So have a fun bonus poll! Also I infodump a little.
Voidblade (Cradle) VS Franticshipping (Pokémon Manga) VS Winterphoenix (My OCs)

Wei Shi Lindon Arelius X Yerin Arelius
Ruby X Sapphire
Holly Hirano/Wintress X Reid Ashton/Red Phoenix
Voidblade (don't think that's the widely accepted ship name but I saw it used once and I think it's cool)
Lindon and Yerin start out as strangers who team up due to circumstance, but they grow into friends and eventually, an incredible battle couple. Cradle's a progression fantasy series where everyone's trying to get stronger. Lindon starts out behind, but once he catches up he and Yerin complement each other in battle and fight to advance together.
A key moment in their relationship is when they're forced to face each other in an arena where they can't die and once Lindon gets over his reluctance to hurt Yerin, they absolutely enjoy the opportunity to fight each other without holding back. Yerin's fighting style leans more towards brute force, while Lindon literally has a spirit in his brain who helps him strategize to win fights before they begin. The two of them fight gods together. Upend the order of the world. Lindon gifted Yerin a sword forged from body of a dreadgod and immediately afterwards gave her a ring. Battle couple of all time.
Franticshipping
Ruby gave up battling because when they met as kids because the way he'd fought had scared Sapphire, but he fights again to protect her. Sapphire dedicated herself to growing stronger because she'd felt helpless that day and didn't want to be a burden again, wanted to be able to protect herself.
When they were on Mirage Island they trained to double battle with each other with Juan, Tate & Liza. Their Kirlias evolved (Ruby's into a Gardevoir, Sapphire's into a Gallade) at the same time. They rode Rayquaza into space to destroy the meteor and save the world together, and they did it while wearing contest outfits. I love them so much.
Winterphoenix
Okay I have barely written anything for them but I rotate them in my brain constantly. Holly's a superhero who never got to live a normal life because her father trained her since birth to take over his magical guardian of order duties, and when he died when she was fifteen she dedicated herself to protecting the world with barely any time for herself. Reid was a normal guy until he ended up kidnapped by a villain trying to exploit the powers Reid did not know he had.
Holly saved him, and after some reluctance Reid became a hero and together they took down the bad guys. Since then they've been a heroic duo, and Reid's eased Holly's burden – and ironically Reid, the fire guy, taught his gf with ice powers to chill. She showed him how to be a hero. He showed her how to be human.
Headcanon that I believe to be 100% true because it just is
Eithan definitely knew Yerin was pregnant before even Yerin knew
I mean, he knows everything. He'd know IMMEDIATELY that she has a baby coming, literally in the first stages of development.
He'd casually tell her "congratulations on the child" and she'd go "what." COMPLETELY floored.

Soulcane - Seisha/Jaran (Canon)
Frostedge (MINTIM) - Min Shuei/Timias Adama (Canon)

Yerin: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I'll wait.
Lindon: You and me!
Yerin, tearing up: Okay
Yerin: Well, Lindon feels kind of different now after Ghostwater. Strong. Secure. Safe. He's handsome, too. And when I thought he was going to kiss me my heart started beating really fast.
Yerin: I'm sure this doesn't mean anything.
