ship meme pasha and lara
Who cooks: Lara does sometimes, but more often than not Pashaās the one in the kitchen and heās actually a pretty decent cook when heās not ruining perfectly good dishes by experimenting with ingrediant substitution.
Who does the laundry and other chores: I think thereās a pretty even split for them - Lara does a lot of laundry and mending/sewing, and Pasha likes to keep things organised, and both can be pretty much relied upon to clean up after themselves.
How many children do they have: This gets complicated because in book!canon, they have one daughter. Ā In both musical!canon and the personal combination-of-the-two!verse that I have (because thatās how I work), they never have children. Ā That said, thereās also an Everyone-Lives-in-Exile AU, and in that one heās technically the legal father of Laraās two children with Yurii (he points out that itās practical, but also her second daughter is aggressively dark haired and dark eyed so itās like āā¦.welp this is awkwardā).
Whoās more dominant: Eh, neither one really? Ā On the whole though, for lots of reasons, Lara usually calls the shots.
Favourite nonsexual activity:Ā I think that, like a lot of my favourite pairings, theyāre very much theĀ ācurl up near each other and readā type, but they also really like taking long walks together.
Their favourite place to be together:Ā I think Pashaās rooms were always kind of a safe-haven, even if he didnāt quite know why, and thatās sort of carried on.
Any traditions: Flowers are such a thing - like not necessarily expensive flowers, and not always storebought? Ā Sometimes just a small bundle of something pretty to go on the windowsil of the shop.
Their āsongā: Oh god. tbh I should make a playlist for them sometime, but Iām awful and the first thing that came to mind was āCould We Start Again, Please?ā from Jesus Christ Superstar.
What they do for each other on holidays:Ā They donāt do a whole lotĀ of gift-giving, apart from small things, mostly because theyāve spent most of their time being unable to afford to do anything extravagant? Ā So things a more concentrated around spending time with one another and doing things for each other. Ā Though in the Paris AU, Lara 100% spends a lot of time and enlists a bit of help to surprise Pasha with a new pair of glasses at one point.
Where did they go for their honeymoon:Ā Okay so I just got really sad because obviously they didnāt get a bloody honeymoon or anything of the sort because class and also the first world war lmao but if they did manage to get one, I imagine theyād go somewhere outside the city at least and out of the way.
Where did they first meet:Ā Okay so obviously this can vary a little because while thereās a definitive book canon of them meeting when they were fairly young (at least in their early teens, I think - canāt remember), itās much more ambiguous in the musical. Ā I personally use a mixture in which they first met when they were like preteens but didnāt really become close until later.
Any pets: In canon!verse, neither of them really have pets, though both of them have basically low-key adopted local stray cats or dogs by feeding them and providing shelter when they could. Ā During the Civil War, Pasha has a Laika that heās very fond of, and in the Everyone Lives AU, Lara gets him a cat.
What do they fight over:Ā Itās less fighting and more disagreements over things likeĀ āAbsolutely not. Ā Do not go to a demonstration armed are you kidding me???ā but also if they didĀ have a proper out-and-out row it would probably be really intense followed by a lot of apologising.
Do they go on vacations, if so where:Ā Not really, because money, but if they did, I imagine it would be just off to little quiet places or places with interesting things of personal significance, things like that. Ā A weekend in the country or something.
