Sebyra

How would the pair do in an escape room?What kind of room would they choose and would they get out?

Okay, I love this question 🤭

I think they'd be pretty good. (I mean, the scriptorium is basically an escape room 🙈). Both are smart and like solving riddles. I however could see them getting getting stuck because their way of thinking is needlessly complicated 🤭

Lyra, being the literature nerd, would absolutely choose a Sherlock Holmes themed room.

Do they remind you of another OTP you love? Who and why? 

Spontaneously forgetting every OTP I ever had 🙈 They have some similarities to Jonathan and Mina from Dracula. Both nerds, both badass, she's a moral compass, he can become unhinged in the name of love, both go through hell and desperately hold on to each other ...

Nattinis

What matching outfits do you imagine the pair wearing?

I could see them wearing those. Yule Ball and Modern AU, I guess.

Also, that's my cue to tell you they'll get married in Matabeleland and they'd wear matching wedding outfits for that.

What memes do you associate with the individual characters/OTP with?

1. No explanation needed

2. That's Ominis, who used to make fun of Seb and Lyra, until ...

3. The two babys with their respective family trauma

LoveLake 

What is something they admire about the other? 

Leo admires Bee's resilience. How despite all her fears, she goes on and keeps growing beyond herself. He also admires her kindness towards pretty much everyone, especially towards animals and yes, her beauty.

What Bee admires about him ... Well, let me know 🤭

If they're separate and they see something that reminds them of their beloved, what would it most likely be and why?

Leo gets reminded of Bee by absolutely everything: books (she loves reading), flowers (she always finds the perfect ones for every occasion), sunlight (her hair looks so pretty in it) ... Boy is down bad 🤭

For Bee, it's probably the night sky, because that's what Leo is most passionate about and perhaps stray dogs, because he is basically a stray and he's got the puppy eyes.

What do they do to make each other laugh? Doesn't have to be on purpose either. 

Lyra can be clumsy af. Girl will run into chairs and knock over bottles because she was too deep in thought to watch where she's going 🙈 She also has a pretty dry humor.

Bee makes Lyra smile by getting excited about a subject. She starts yapping, Lyra starts smiling. She adores her.

How did they meet and their first impressions upon meeting each other?

We're talking about our specific AU here?

Then they meet as ten year olds, in a victorian girl school and get put in the same dorm room.

Lyra thinks Bee is a dear from the start. They share hobbies, have similar outlooks on life and Lyra, being an older sister, also gets immediately protective of Bee, who is so easily scared 🫂

I can't speak for Bee, but I remember you saying Bee would look up to Lyra for being so brave 🙈

The big ship that’s yet to be named we made with @amus2110

The Chaotic Quartett (and Garreth)

Did they have romantic rivals that wanted one (or both) member of the OTP? Who were they?

I mean, this ship involves Jocie "The Lovesick" Bell, Orpheus "The Charmer" Kerr and Leonard "The Flirt" Lovegood. Obviously there were other people 😅

For Leo, some people worth mentioning are Grace, Samantha, Natty, Leander, Hector Fawley ...

There were definitely people who fancied Bee, too: Sebastian, Arthur, Amit, Cressida & Adelaide (at least I could see them being into her)

For Jocie, we know about Ominis, but who else there was is to be determined by you 😘 I also can't speak for Amanda regarding Orpheus' admirers 🤭

How do they go about solving arguments and what do they usually argue about?

I love how keep asking me, the harmony lover, for reasons people would quarrel 😅 But okay.

I can see all of them arguing where to go and what to do for a date, as they all are pretty different. Leo and Bee are good at compromising and Orpheus seems indifferent as long as it's not something he absolutely doesn't want to do, so I'm guessing they often just go along with whatever Jocie decides. Unless it's a really stupid, possibly life threatining idea, in which case Orpheus will have to exert authority. 🙈

I answered all of it 🥳

Lyra:

1) Growing up relatively wealthy in Victorian London, Lyra knows different forms of ballroom dancing. But when she was younger, she always wanted to learn ballett 🩰

A dance class by Jocie? - Sure, where can she sign up? 😍

2) Despite being a good flyer, Lyra never considered playing Quidditch. The fact that there are two canon balls flying around the field has a lot to do with her hesitation. She prefers dangers she can face with her wand ready 🤭 She always shows up for matches, though, to support her team. Nellie and Leander are both playing, for example. And of course, with Sebastian being Slytherin's keeper, she's there to support him, too. He gets good luck kisses before and perhaps a massage after the game 😊

(More or less related, lately I've been entertaining the idea of beater Leonard 👀)

3) Lyra's theme songs? I'm so glad you asked 🤭

Here are some that I strongly associate with her

Plus, the one that describes her feelings towards Hogwarts so well that it became the fanfic title

Lovelake:

Leo in a nutshell. Boy drank his respecting women juice 🤭 And of course he adores Bee (what's not to adore, really?) and will loudly declare this to anyone who will listen 💕 Bee will have to get used to constantly being praised 🫶🏻

Accurate depiction of the early phase of their relationship, where Leo has minor breakdowns whenever Bee decides to initiate anything. She's just that adorable 🥰

Lyra x Bee (Believe?)

1) The moment Lyra's feelings shifted?

I think it would be a gradual process as well, but with a very sudden realisation for her, probably when they'd spend time huddled up together both reading and she suddenly can't concentrate anymore and instead wants to kiss Bee.

2) Ideal first date?

I feel like they both would really enjoy a live reading from one of their favourite authors 🫶🏻 And a romantic dinner afterwards 💕

3) Favourite form of affection?

I can't speak for Bee, but for Lyra it would have to be hugs / cuddling. It makes her feel all warm and safe 💖

I love you too, Ruby ♥️
