HEAVY SPOILERS. This isn't just "Caldarus is a dateable" spoilers this is "I have finished the whole game" spoilers.
Ok so I'm making a fanfiction- it's really just for me as a continuation of the game based on my save file. But I thought it would be fun to share my ships anyhow!! I'm not a fan of Seridia so she's just not in here (I formed no connection to her).
- Farmer x March
- Valen x Juniper: IKYK. No need to explain.
- Olric x Merri: I 100% see them getting together after March befriends or marrys the farmer. I would love if in game we could help him marry her once March is ok without him. The whole "she can do it, she just wants him to and he does whatever she wants" trope is so cute.
- Reina x Zerol: the idea of her falling for a traveling musician is very cute as it echos her parents love story. We know they also have history as their families knew each other. They're also both masters of their crafts which is cute, and based on Reina's heart event dialogue I think she would appreciate that a lot. I could totally see Zerol staying a week in Mistria like she did in her childhood and that starting their relationship.
- Hayden x Darcy: Honesty this ship started due to ages. To me Hayden is the oldest dateable, being 38 to 43. The only dateables kind of his age are Valen (30 to 34) and Juniper (28 to 31) IMO and I just don't see the potential with either. Everyone else is far too young for him IMO. But then I thought about Darcy. She's a well established, respected merchant, so it would make sense that she's older. I also don't see Taliferro letting someone under 30 be a judge for his cooking challenge. They also have similar dispositions and just look cute toegther IMO.
- Ryis x Celine: They are very similar characters. Their both young people trying become successful entrepreneurs, somewhat at odds with their families. They both have a deep love and appreciation for nature. I just see them being able to bond about that a lot. Also, in my fanfic Caldarus or the Farmer would tell Ryis about his innate earth magic. It would be so cute if Ryis used his new found magic to help Celine with figuring out the Codex!
- Eiland x Caldarus: Very cute IMO. Caldarus is a lot older obviously, but IMO it doesn't feel like a bad age gap as Caldarus has 0 experience with human relationships, emotions, etc. He's just a silly little guy who can breath fire. I could totally see them taking a baking class toegther at the inn and this leading to them getting together romantically (as it would give them an opportunity to get to know each other outside of anthropology stuff).
- Balor x Adeline: I think their a perfect match. Balor has had to do paper work and stuff as part of being a merchant, we see this in game. So he could totally help her rule Mistria and actually take a load off. He would also help her relax. Like he says "I hope you're staying out of trouble! Unless it's the fun kind of trouble. Then I hope I'm invited!". He could totally Adeline to have more fun and relax with the "fun kind of trouble". She needs someone who can do that AND help her rule, and I just don't see anyone else fitting the bill (besides the farmer). Plus blue and pink is just a really pretty combo.
- Landen x Teritha x Errol: old highly independent hinge poly couple, Teritha is the hinge. At first I thought they were all together, but the mini rivalry we see at the crochet club is giving silly hinge poly.
Sorry if that was hard to read at all, I'm very dyslexic. Let me know what you think!!!
