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.

Asyr and Gavin :)

[varadia]

Asyr and Gavin. They should not work, and I think if they were two other people of their relative age and experience, they would not. But Gavin is smart, and responsible, and learns like a SPONGE. And he's mature for his age (or for any age, and I really do wonder where that comes from). And Asyr, when they meet--she's tired of being dirty, and sneaking around, and lying and hiding and backstabbing, and all of that. And Gavin, who is straightforward to a fault, and friendly and open and a competent fighter and whatever, is this great opportunity to really move decisively away from that. And she does. And they get to know each other, and even though she's a tiny sophisticated Bothan and he is a giant backwoods boy from Tatooine--they have similar opinions on warfare, it seems, and on how the Rebellion/Republic should go, and what they want out of life, and just--it is lovely.

And then Asyr is rumored to be dead, and she leaves him, and I can understand it, I can. Because he IS so young, and choosing to give up your life to another people, another species, and a planet so far from anything you know--you can do it, but I think she was afraid that he would grow to regret it and be too stubborn to give it up. And she could not--deal with that. And he IS honorable, and she would have to do some things that would not match up with his sense of honor, and she would not be swayed from that, and just--better not to have those fights at all. Better to let him remember her as a good person and not the Bothan Intelligence officer who was a lot more like her people (the best AND the worst of them) than most of her friends would want to believe.

And I really do and always will love their interaction when she took him to the Bothan party given by her friend. Forever <3.
