Tedelia - Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch and @cursebreakerfarrier

Slytherin and Gryffindor in love and getting along like peas and carrots? It’s hard to believe for the common student but if the passion is there it is going to happen. Dear Addy is far from the stereotype of her house and she is so wonderful and compassionate! Teddy and his dormmates are a group of chaotic Gryffindors but they love their gals all the same. Together he and Addy have built a beautiful family with three great kiddos. Danny is a frequent visitor to the Selwyn-Ellison household and he loves Teddy, Addy and their kids so much!! He considers the kids part of his found family just as much as their parents, they’re like nephews and nieces to him and he tries to find them great gifts for their birthdays and Christmas celebrations. Danny has always been close with Teddy and Adelia - he and Teddy are colleagues as aurors and he stops by to see Adelia frequently while working in France. The role that Tedelia has in Danny’s life is why it is number one on this list!

Roxariel - Gabriel Sapieha @slytherindisaster and Roxie Haley @beloved-bucky

This wholesome ship reaches number two spot by a close margin to Tedelia. I cannot decide which should be number two because its more like that it and Tedelia hold equal places in my book. Still this ship is one of my favorites because the gal in here is Danny’s sister figure and best friend Roxie! Gabriel is also a dear friend to him! He is protective of Danny and cares a lot for his well-being, where to he would put himself in harm’s way to keep him safe. The dynamic for Roxariel is unique - I just love how Gabriel and Roxie are still able to love each other so much even though she is a vampire. In a time where racism and supremacy still dominate the wizarding world, this couple can be an example of how minorities can still achieve successful and fulfilling lives just like regular people. Danny is also very grateful to have Gabriel and Roxie in his life and they’re very dear to him - his life would never be complete in their absence.

Galehan - Siobhan Llewelyn @kc-and-co and Galen Stagg @cursebreakerfarrier

Two sweethearts that have it all. Their story is about living life to the fullest. Bonding over a love of magizoology and outdoorsy-ness, Bon-bon and Galen live a very unique and epic lifestyle with many connections around the world. They look over many creature reserves in several countries - one of which is located in the U.S. state of Arizona. Danny vibes with the couple over their appreciation and reverence of the outdoors, reminding him of the better angels of his old home far away. He loves Bon-bon so much and they’ve been best buddies since their Hogwarts days. Galen is such a sweet and soft boy with great compassion and acceptance for minority groups which Danny really appreciates! When working in America he often stays at one of the reserves under the care of Shiv and Galen and is always happy to see them and hear about their latest adventures!

1. What, specifically, was the catalyst for their physical attraction (if applicable) to the other character? In other words, what in particular had them like “Oh, they’re…hot…”

Roxariel: for Gabriel and Roxie, it was always a game of cat and mouse, so to speak. neither of them would budge on admitting they had feelings for the other, despite them both saying they “hated” the other, they had very obvious feelings for each other. for both of them, I think it was when they realized how snarky and witty the other could be, and that’s what initially made them realize “oh no, they’re…hot.”, and then they both realized just how physically attractive the other was😂

MoGeo: answered here

8. What do they think about romantic love? Do they have baggage surrounding it? Do they idealize it? Is it an object of longing and wanting, or were they really not thinking about it until they started falling for the other character? What are their expectations like?

Roxariel: for these two, romantic love was a bit of a touchy subject from the start. in the beginning, it was because they were both so convinced they hated each other. when they got back together after being apart for a couple of years, Roxie was afraid that her being a vampire would affect the romantic aspect of her life (spoiler alert: it didn’t lol) for Gabriel, there may have been a little bit of baggage before he and Roxie got back together, but I’m not too sure as that’s more of a question for @slytherindisaster to give her opinion on. I don’t think either of them really started thinking about it too much until they started falling for each other, but I do think they both have their own ideals of romantic love. they both want rather simple things when it comes to love; mutual respect, honesty, trust, and playfulness.

MoGeo: oh. my. godric. these two dumbasses were in love before they ever even knew it😂 both of them are completely open to the idea of romantic love, and they only embrace it even more once they start really falling for each other. from the beginning, they pretty much longed for each other with years of mutual pining, but they just took forever to finally get things going. they both have their ideals on it, and they both really want the same thing from love: honesty, respect, trust, and a killer sense of humor are the things that mean the most for this pair.

12. How much independence do they prefer in a relationship—do they want to share their lives as much as possible with their partner, or do they prefer to mostly do their own thing and let their partner do their own thing?

Roxariel: Roxie likes being independent, since her father did raise her to learn how to do things for herself as opposed to having to rely on a man or anyone else to do everything for her. She doesn’t mind sharing a life with Gabriel, as he does like his independence as well, though they’re both respectful of the other’s wishes and know when to not smother each other too much.

MoGeo: so, these two really fall on both ends of the spectrum with this. they both love having freedom and independence (George knows all too well how independent Morgan can be, and he doesn’t dare impede on that—he gave Oliver Wood hell for it though while him and Morgan dated for a brief time, because Oliver tried to stifle Morgan’s independent spirit) and Morgan will let George be as independent as he wishes to be in return. but if they’ve been apart from each other for even just a weekend, all they want to do is spend time with each other even if they’re living together. no…seriously, if the twins leave for a weekend to scout a potential location to expand Wheezes, George tells Morgan to invite Kate (@kc-needs-coffee) and Carmi (@nevilles-top) over for a girl’s night or weekend, and they have to deal with Morgan being mopey for about an hour over George being gone before they can finally get her hyped up enough to join in on the spa and movie night festivities, though Morgan still wears one of George’s old jumpers and sleeps with his pillow while he’s gone, and the girls noticed it rather quickly, before Morgan even realized it.
