— Val & Romantic Partners:

Before my elaborate yaps 😆

It's important to keep in mind that Val is demiromantic, so it'll take her some time to fall in love.

~~~

First off, Val's romantic partners, in a nutshell, are divided into two categories: (1) a character I ship her with & (2) a character she fell in love with on her own.

And yes, she does eventually like a character without me knowing. I just realized it later on 🤣✨

~~~

Canon:

The character I shipped her with:

Ominis Gaunt

During my first playthrough for Val, I originally shipped her with Ominis since they have a LOT in common. Or should I say they can — ✨TRAUMA BOND✨

However, the more I think about it, I feel like they would hurt each other more than help each other heal and that makes me really sad 😭

The character she fell in love with on her own:

Garreth Weasley

Val and Garreth are both exceptional in potions in their own right. Despite that, I feel like Val would've developed a sense of dislike for Garreth because of the incident with Professor Sharp during their first class together.

I always saw the potential for these two as academic rivals (one-sided 😆) of sorts since they both are enthusiastic about potion-making. However, I didn't foresee that Val actually fell for Garreth, and guess what? They make such a good match 💯

Also, the more I thought about it from Val's perspective, it makes so much sense✨

All I can say is that everyday is interesting between these two 😆❤️‍🔥

AUs:

For the record, I love OC x OC ships but I didn't expect that Val would get a few in a rather short period of time. Nonetheless, I'm still fluttered that some of my friends let me ship Val with their OCs! 🫂❤️‍🔥

The OCs I shipped her with:

Alvin Hayoung:

First Love trope! 🫶🏻✨

Since this is an AU, there are slight tweaks in Val's personality. I don't think she's demiromantic in this universe since this AU is a love at first sight situation.

This was a brief ship as well but me and Cass cooked up some lore for them already. However, we eventually both agree that they won't end up together since their personalities don't mesh well. Nevertheless, they remain good friends and are happy with their new relationships.

Callan Gaunt:

Childhood Friends to Lovers trope!

Matty was also asked about them and you can read it here✨

Basically, I immediately fell in love for Cal once she made him and then we decided to pair him with Val! 🤭

This ship exists in the HCU (Hayrose Cinematic Universe) for more info, you can read this✨

Black and Gaunt as a couple automatically comes along with a LOT of angst already. But these two are set up to live a happy and better life 🥹❤️‍🔥

Val won't admit it but she loves Cal very much. Although she looks so done with him in that photo 🤣 In her head she's fighting between her love for potions and Cal LMAOOO 😆🫶🏻 (bonus: meme by Matty)

I also made a Christmas one-shot that you can read here✨

Ellie Crawford:

So far there's none yet since she's demiromantic.

(ellie belongs to @accio-bagel✨ & shot by: @acslytherpuff✨)

Well, they're not exactly in a relationship but they're also not just friends as well 👀 There's some non-hetero tension between these two and I live for it! 🤩✨

The best way to describe them in a nutshell: ✨they were roommates✨

Me and Bagel are still cooking up some lore for them. But one thing is certain, these two got some interesting story 😌✨

And c'mon, Val + Ellie just makes so much sense in my head 🤪❤️‍🔥

As for the OC Val fell in love on her own well...

Well, at least not to my knowledge yet 🤣

But we'll see 👀❤️‍🔥

After all, I love OC x OC ships!!!✨
