Happy Storyteller Saturday! In your WIPs what aspects of each OTP(s) personalities make the relationships work in the end?
Happy storyteller Saturday to you too and thanks for the ask ^=^
Ji-hoon/Yueliang: Ji-hoon is a moody bastard, but he’s a decent guy when he’s given room to show it. Yueliang is supportive, but not gullible. She brings out the good in him and he grounds her when she’s being reckless, so they balance each other really well. They’re also both smart in different areas, so they’ve got some good complementary traits happening too.
Ambrose/Vera: Ambrose is a lil troll, who has poor impulse control and loves messing with people. Vera is the most sensible and practical, so she keeps him from doing something stupid like losing another limb and he makes her a lil bit more adventurous. They’ve also got smarts in different areas, so they fill a space in each other’s knowledge, but they both also crave knowledge, so sharing is a fun exercise.
Shun/Sarnai: Shun’s dogged perseverance gets shit done for Sarnai when she hits a wall, plus he likes succeeding when others fail. Sarnai is sneaky and devious, so together they’re very hard to beat when they get focused on a goal. They’ve both also got quick fire banter that bounces off each other, so their sense of humour and way of thinking is similar too.
Mohammed/Sorcha: Both have personality and charm for days, so together they’re an explosive and irresistible combination. They could super heat a room with their flirting. Mo’s also very compassionate while Sorcha can be a little bit harsh, so he softens her edges and she sharpens his.
Tadamasa/Aurora: Tada’s jaded and acts like he’s a decade older than he is, so Aurora’s youthful sense of fun cuts through his moodiness and lightens his up. He’s sensible, so keeps Aurora a little more grounded than she’d be on her own. He’s bookish and well read, and Aurora is more instinctive and empathetic with how she approaches things, so they’ve got both angles covered.
Yoshihiro/Ina: Yoshi’s pompous and a know-it-all, but he doesn’t know as much as Ina, and she’s got a better bedside manner than him, so she’s balancing out his annoying traits like the top doc she is. He’s an educator – kinda – and she’s a doctor, so they’re both smart and like being right, too, so their clashes and disagreements are fun, but they’re both smart enough to know how to resolve conflict too.
Calum/Glenn: Smart, practical Calum and smarter, more practical Glenn. She’s basically showing him he’s not the peak of the mountain and he’s showing her there’s nothing wrong with someone having your back for no reason besides they want to. He’s got a good set of skills and he’s actually nice, so for Glenn who feels like she doesn’t deserve nice, it’s a reminder she’s not a bad person.
