What do you think about Ethan x Piper? I feel like Ethan would have more respect (maybe even fear due to her charmspeak ability) for Aphrodite kids due his position and Piper might appreciate that because of how much people underestimate her and Piper has always had a thing for rule breakers.
I've talked about this ship a long...long time ago. Back then, Ethan/Piper was kinda weird to me because I was writing a fic where my OC was in a relationship with Ethan and Piper was in love with him. So...yeah... I could hardly get invested in it.
But now this fic is over and I look at Pipethan with adoration ! Really, it's good !
Though, I'm sorry, but I must admit that I disagree with your reasoning behind this ship. I don't see Ethan particularly care about Piper or her abilities, at best maybe he would avoid her for her charmspeak, but not to the point of respecting her from the get-go just for them (pretty sure he would hate Drew). But you're right, the moment Ethan would see her in action and especially when he'd see how she respectfully and cleverly uses her powers, she'd earn his respect and he'd defend her strength before everyone (especially when she'd be his girlfriend, boy you better not say one single bad word about her).
And for the rule breaker thing...I never saw Piper as someone who is attracted to this kind of people (I mean...Jason ? A rule breaker ? Not in the first books at least). And Sthan isn't a rule breaker either. I see him more as a : "I know what rules are fair or not better than you do" kind of guy. If he believes in the rules, he certainly won't break them.
But that said, I like this pairing a lot. I like the idea of them both being suspicious of the other before growing closer in an instant out of respect and necessity (like in a fight), I love the idea of Piper using her charmspeak to make people being harsh with Ethan pay, I like the idea of Ethan threatening anyone who would dare to look at her wrongly, and I LOVE the idea of Ethan denying his feelings to everyone and especially himself, but Piper being very aware of them without saying anything to not make him uncomfortable.
I, just, love it !
