adainecentric, figaydaine, 4.7k, mild hurt/comfort

Ayda pulls a few books from the satchel that sits at her feet, passing them across the table. “I’ve taught lots of kids to swim, but I have been researching how to help someone who has a water phobia.” Adaine looks at the books, ranging from old tomes on the art of swimming to what looked to be a waterlogged parents how-to guide on swimming for the fearful child. She shakes her head. “I don’t have a water phobia. And I’m not a child.” - or, adaine cannot swim. ayda and fig try to help

This is a dream come true, okay walk with me

Let's start out with a couple of what I would consider fundamental pairings. In most any configuration of the group you can think of, most if not all of these are gonna be necessary for me to really get invested.

Fabriz. Duh. Need I say more.

Fabadaine. It's my fucking roman empire and I WILL go on about it for another thousand words if you ask

Figadaine. Support women's wrongs! Going shopping! My girlfriend is a rockstar and we make out backstage! My girlfriend is the elven oracle and we make out twice because she has a vision of it happening first!

I've also got some pairings that are nice on their own, but that I don't find like, mandatory if you're gonna sell me on something.

GorgugxFig. She's so loudly angry to hide her fear; he's so quietly scared of his own anger. She made him join her band and he's probably the better musician. They're so nice to each other.

FigxKristen. Fall into temptation. Make out with the devil on your shoulder. She helps you kill your god. She becomes your devoted paladin. The ArchDevil of Rebellion pulls you into a cosmic war against the very divinity you were the Chosen One for.

Now as for larger groupings, things get pretty fun. There are so many to choose from. Like for example:

The Bad Boys. Like as a throuple. Think about it. You're the cool son of a famous pirate; you're already kicking ass at bloodrush; youre hot shit. A metalhead and a briefcase kid latch onto you like barnacles. This is so embarassing. Cut to a month later and you're all on a rooftop sharing a cigarette and looking at the stars. The briefcase kid kisses you, and metalhead is next in line. Briefcase kid is also your best friend, even without the insane new tension and the fact that he can dismantle your coolguy persona with seemingly no effort. He tastes like burnt coffee. Even ignoring how metalhead can crack skulls, but treats you with gentleness and even hesitation, like he's afraid you'll turn him down. As if. His bangs get in the way when he kisses you.

The Bad Girls as a throuple. This one feels almost too obvious for words. Three girls who are all trying so hard and failing to be normal, but from three different directions. Imagine one day seeing the uptight wizard girl with rich parents and girl who tried to convert you to fantasy mormonism on her first day both walk into school one day holding hands with that punk girl who's in a band and who has already turned like six other students gay just by being cool and pretty. Then at lunch, they're all sitting together, and the elf and the cleric both have the bard's lipstick on their lips and cheeks. The cleric looks at you. She winks. You go home confused.

Figaydadaine. Figayda I don't have to sell you on, but you can't tell me Ayda and Adaine aren't so fucking cute together it hurts. They make spells for each other! Adaine has the key to the Wizard's Synod! Adaine killed her dad with Ayda's spell. Come ON, this shit writes itself. Honestly Aydaine is so good by itself

There's also an extended world of qpr among the bad kids - Rizdaine would be a great example of this. I don't think of them as a Couple, but they are SO close and there's so much trust and intimacy there. That's a pair that cuddle while watching movies or doing mystery stuff.

qpr FigGug is another great possibility. Just take all the sweet support and kindness they already have and pry out the romance.

Going to prom?" Adaine reiterated. Holding the hairbrush in one hand, Boggy in the palm of her other.

Aelwyn groans, her eye-roll already predicted by Adaine. "I mean doing this 'date' thing with Ayda and Fig, dear sister."

Adaine's heart tightens; it's been doing that for a few weeks now. Adaine isn't sure why yet, however. “I’m doing a favor for them—”

“By pretending to be their date for prom?” Aelwyn cut in. Her icy stare through the mirror made Adaine look away in seconds. “Dear sister, you’re fooling no one—”

“I have no clue what you’re talking about Aelwyn,” Adaine snapped back, her voice louder than expected by either wizard.

Or

Ayda and Fig want to go to prom, yet, they need a "date" to do so since neither are offical students. Adaine painstakingly takes them, at the consequence of a realization and complicated feelings.
