Ship Tournament, Round 3 — Match 7 / 7

Lae'zel/Shadowheart

"lae’zel/shadowheart is THE enemies to lovers blueprint in bg3 idc. they start off genuinely ready to slit each other’s throats over the artefact, the gith/sharran distrust is off the charts, and somehow it turns into this insane potential for two women who were both raised inside brutal religious systems slowly realising they were lied to by the people they worshipped"

vs. Karlach/Wyll

"I mean, those two are almost implied in the Blade of Avernus, Karlach and Wyll traversing hells together ending. Karlach's dialogue about doing this with someone she loves is both in romanced Karlach ending, and if she's just with Wyll! Karlach was my first romance, and when I saw a non-romanced Karlach and Wyll epilogue for the first time, I just felt such a "it should've been me! Not him!" feeling that it's hard to say there's nothing there. Also, Karlach has been through tough times. She deserves a fairytale prince to sweep her off her feet - what companion doesn't, really, but still. Also, Karlach will stand up for Wyll when he gets too self-sacrificing, I'm sure of that, and he deserves that, too. They're dear to each other, is all I know, and they'd be good together. After they get out of Avernus, I'm sure they could have a good, comfortable life in Baldur's Gate, adventuring, and when needing a break, having a nice house in the upper city to belong to."

Ship Tournament, Round 4 — Match 4 / 4

Nocturne/Shadowheart

"Nocturne is so important to Shadowheart that she was the only thing she remembered from the Cloister. They were two sad, lonely girls who couldn't see a way past their situation, who were able to find some light and joy with each other."
