As always, no pressure to do this! ๐
Oh I love this tag Sophie, it’s a great Valentine’s Day on and the perfect one to post for this month as well! ๐
I love romance, in fact I have so many OTPs it’s insane (I feel like every couple I read about in the books I pick up becomes one of my OTPs, but oh well I’m not going to complain), and I love your choices for all these questions.
Akiva and Karou definitely have big goals, and I loved seeing their development throughout the series as well as they tried to achieve them and unite their two people. Also Wolf and Scarlet are from one of my all-time favourite series, so obviously they’re one of my ultimate OTPs. ๐
Great post, and great picks for all these questions as well. ๐ โค

Yay, so glad to hear it Beth! ๐
Hahaha oh don’t worry, I’m the same. I don’t even know how I managed to pick only these five but because I had restrictions it was a lot easier. They were the ones that mostly fit these.
Karou and Akiva are absolute goals! I adored them so much โค๏ธ Same for Wolflet โค๏ธโค๏ธ I can’t wait to revisit them in Renegades ๐
Thank you so much, hon! ๐

How fun for Valentines month Sophie! I don’t know all these couples…. but I’m planning on reading Scarlet hopefully this month (I have it!) But I’m curious who are Katsa and Po?! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you included James and Lily that is a couple that I’ve always admired. โค

Ah lovely to hear you liked this Dani! โค๏ธ
I hope you enjoy Scarlet, it’s one of my favorite books ever and also probably my favorite in the whole series ๐
Katsa and Po are from Graceling, another favorite of mine!
Oh another Lily and James fan? That’s so rare! Yay!!! Most people ship her with someone else, which I cannot for the life of me comprehend ๐ If you know who I’m talking about…
LikeLiked by 1 person
NO, really?! Iโm totally for Lily and James! And now I REALLY need to start Scarlet… I was a little underwhelmed by Cinderโs plot (loved the world) so Iโve been scared but itโs good to hear it was your favorite. And I need to read Graceling… I love it when readers love a couple enough to mention them as ships! โฅ๏ธ

Aaahhh thank God!!! I rarely find anyone who ships them…
Oh don’t worry, Scarlet is definitely better and almost everyone agrees Cinder is the weakest in the series ๐
Yes, definitely! Especially when it’s not a romance and you’re able to find these subtle vibes between two characters and later on end up completely shipping them ๐โค๏ธ

I feel so ignorant here! The only couple I could recognise was Scarlet and Wolf (and I totally agree with how you categorised them!) I do recognise Lily and James from Harry Potter.

Hahaha yes that’s right! They’re his parents and they’re honestly one of my favorite couples of all time. It’s a shame they didn’t get too much attention in the books because their era is a lot more fascinating to me than Harry’s! I’m still waiting for a prequel…
Here’s a list of all the series in this but please read at your own risk because spoilers!!

Yes! Absolutely, and I agree. Rowling is not my favorite when it comes to writing romance but I’m glad she’s always supported Jily and never Snape x Lily. That’s just not a great ship.
Have you read the Marauder prequel? I think you can get it from Pottermore. It’s not a lot but it’s a cute glimpse into their lives with baby Harry ๐
I’m still waiting for the Marauders spin off!

i haven’t, no. i think i’m too scared. i read a lot of marauders ff when i was younger which means now i have an exact plot and characters arcs that happens in their school years and leading to jilys death and i feel like anything else will disappoint ahah. i might check it out soon though!:)
