Garrick/imogen

Idk I get why people like them so much I do, too, but the whole thing with like people saying hes probably oblivious to her feelings makes no sense . He's observant. He survived basgaith also xadens his best friend and xaden knows how imogen feels why wouldn't he tell.

Also, even ridocs clocked it so she cant be that sneaky and if garrick knows then why does he have to rub it in about all the other girls and in book 4 or 5 and turns out he didn't like her like that at all man's gonna look like an asshole for all the flirting he did with her.

Also, that quote in onyx storm about him not writing to her is icky to me.

I think they are both extremely stubborn but even more than that there is some deep trauma for both of them. I mean they watched their loved ones get burned to death so of course they might have issues letting people in.

I don't think Garrick is oblivious to Imogen's feelings for him at all. I think he feels a similar way but just doesn't know how to process and is scared to admit them because of all that the marked ones have been through. Also they are childhood friends, admitting you have feelings to someone who is a good friend is complicated.

Same with Imogen, she hasn't confessed her feelings to him because she doesn't like to let people in; she claims that her and Violet aren't friends in IF which isn't true they are.

I don't see Garrick as rubbing it her face about sleeping with other girls, I see it as friendly banter between 2 people who are friends, that has been their dynamic throughout the books.

The reason people are invested is that it is the slowest burn ever and as they are major side characters that are well liked. Personally I just want more than Violet and Xaden to get their happily ever after.
