This meme looks like fun.

And god knows I can expound on inter-character relationships for hours.

So. Have at!

Name either a character or a relationship between characters (not necessarily romantic) from canons I know and/or Milliways and I will a.) give my rambling opinion of him/her/it and b.) tell you one thing I really like about him/her/it.

Nynaeve/Lan is, for me, the only romantic pairing that really works in WoT. Their courtship is long and protracted and occasionally actually shows up ON SCREEN. I KNOW. HOW WEIRD. They talk, and they respect each other's opinions (even if Nynaeve will say Lan is only a man, so of course he's actually an idiot. In his case she does NOT MEAN IT). And they know exactly how much each values the other. And the audience knows it. They may not be all hugs and kisses and snuggling in front of people, and even behind closed doors they are oddly restrained in a lot of ways, but it WORKS for them, and it's real, and I adore it for that.

And honestly my favorite thing about them is that they are so content to be reasonably silent when alone, and just enjoy being together, even if he is reading books on politics and she is darning socks, or vice versa. Well, in Lan's case it would probably be repairing his leather and armor and stuff, and Nynaeve would be reading about surgery techniques and Power weaves, but same principle.

I second all of this. :D
