#fiveblades

💞 (Skylanders OTP) - As someone who had an intense shipping phase a few years ago but eventually completely dropped shipping until rediscovering my very first ship I can safely say it's Fiveblades (High Five x Blades). Like so many others, it started out as a pretty random rarepair, only they were the first one I came up with. For some reason I completely forgot about them during said shipping phase and only picked them back up after getting into humanizations, which also started with them.

My brain completely latched onto them and I felt that very specific spark of self-indulgent fandom shipping again and that spiraled into me writing a multi-chapter fic with a LOT of creative liberty regarding their backstories as well as drastically changing their dynamic from the first time (they used to be love triangle enemies to lovers, not for me anymore). I didn't even realize how much I liked the royal/knight trope combined with childhood friends to lovers until I started writing it myself. But I think they can also just have a really fun and comfortable dynamic (inevitable angst aside) and explore what it really means for your relationship to change like that over many years.

I could ramble on for hours but I'd rather invest that energy into the fic, so yeah I love them a lot and they withstood the test of time so they are my OTP.
