It's very late at night where I am and I need to ramble about TWDG because I'm absolutely normal.
I'm a HUGE KenLee shipper. I enjoy their dynamic within the game and how they're just such great friends.
HOWEVER,
What I seem to see in a lot of the fanfiction on AO3 is that there tends to be a side of Infidelity when it comes to KenLee. Which, given Lee's entire backstory regarding the fact his wife, yk, cheating on him, it seems (at least to someone like me) really unrealistic that Lee would ever be the "other person" in Kenny and Katjaa's marriage. One of his biggest fears, his wife cheating on HIM, came true. I doubt that he'd want to hurt Katjaa the way his ex-wife hurt him.
There are some fics where the cheating is null and void as it takes place post Katjaa's death, which makes sense.
But...
I would absolutely LOVE to see more interpretations of a Polyamorous relationship between Kenny, Katjaa, and Lee. Whether that be a V type relationship where Lee and Katjaa are just Metamours, or where all 3 of them are together in a throuple. There's exactly ONE fanfiction on AO3 that covers it (at least to my knowledge).
Even though we truly don't get much content between Lee and Katjaa in the games, I do think that, similarly to Kenny, she'd be very appreciative of all the things that Lee does for Duck (and Kenny).
It's very obvious that Katjaa has an insane amount of trust in Lee (and vice versa). She trusts Lee with the information of Duck being bit, she appreciates it when Lee tells the truth about his past, and she's grateful when Lee offers support to her and her family (ie. Offering to put Duck out of his misery, giving Katjaa the animal crackers and water outside of the train). She's also very thankful about Lee's honesty in a scene where you can tell her about what happened w/ Larry in the freezer (although she doesn't LIKE the information it includes).
I also think that Lee deserves someone (or someones) who would give him the love he deserved after his wife cheated on himβ because Katjaa and Kenny are, at least in my mind, the kind of people who would support Lee in ways he probably didn't experience with his wife (seeing as she traveled a lot for work, something that Lee supported, though he didn't like much as he wanted a family with her).
Anyways, I just think the dynamic potential between these three would be SO awesome.
Maybe one day I'll become confident enough in my writing to make a fanfiction about these three, or something of the sort. Just... something cute.
Anyways yeah. #KatKenLee.
I feel like there's a lot of TWDG rambling I could do on top of the other ones I occasionally post lmao. Maybe I'll start doing more of those.
