ringed with gold

Hi!

Well, that’s a very interesting question. The thing about relationships with Celaena/Aelin is that all of them have made her grown into what she is now. She’s become better because of some of them, and they have shaped her trusts and tasted and who she really is.

I loved her relationship with Sam - first love, so authentic. But it was also heartbreaking. I never really shipped her with Dorian, I’ve always seen them both as friends more than romantic interest. This is something interesting, but on the paths both of them are treading, I don’t see how it becomes different.

Since book one I’ve shipped her with Chaol - they have the same attittude and their relationship developed beautifully. Thing is, something got broken along the way - neither of them trusted the other completely, and so both of them ended up getting hurt. Chaol is very insecure about his loyalty and I can see his point - but I can also see Celaena’s when she decided it wouldn’t work. I’m sure they can become friends again and all may be forgiven, but even as a shipper I don’t think it can become something else again.

As for Rowan, the same goes for Dorian - ultimate broTP, both of them rely and trust each other deeply. Personally, I prefer beautiful friendships than forced romances, but that’s my preference in general. And for both of them, I think it’s wonderful they have each other’s backs.
