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.

I will do you both! Starting with Anna-Daniel.

Anna was--totally surprised by Daniel, and so was I. At the time she was used to humans being all 'back, evil vampire. Do not eat us.' And this one--she saved him from zombies, and he asked her to live with him. He was worried! And he was not creepy about it. So, like an alley cat, she eventually showed up one day in early winter and just .. .never left!

And then there was the point at which she thought he'd kick her out, because she is violent sometimes, and angry, and very very ruthless in odd ways. Nicky showing up really threw her, because that was such a hard time for her, and she did so many messed up things. But Daniel was--he was not upset about her being a bad person, he was upset because she LEFT. And that was kind of a revelation. So she came back, and she stayed.

And if anybody tries to make her leave, or hurt him, she will rip their arms off.

*solemn*

Oh, and the thing I like about them, above all others?

They are so sweetly domestic (but platonic! so far.) one minute, and then bickering like nobody's business the next. And it is OKAY.

I never quite thought Anna would go for that.

That's one of the things I like best, too!

Tell me the others!

Yes?

Well...Daniel is opening up to her some. He's not a secretive person, but he is a private one. Sociable, yeah. But he doesn't talk about himself very much. But hey, that's fine with Anna. But it isn't fine to never really say what you're feeling past the superficial, and they have been getting past that! It's cool.

Also I think they have a lot to learn from each other, just 'cause they're so different. Not just skills, but interpersonal interaction and friendship and all that stuff.

Daniel is also willing to sacrifice stuff for her. It's not an obvious pattern, because Daniel is a pretty nice guy. But most of the things he has done in the game were to his advantage. Even making friends and helping people out will help him. But Anna has snuck past that. So now he's flailing around trying to figure out where to go from here! It is awesome.
