Lilina/Sue

Ah, the littlest OTP. Well HERE WE GO:

  • when I started shipping it if I did: According to my blog that was sometime around seven months ago or roughly, the second I met Sue in game.
  • my thoughts: I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HONESTLY I think they’re very well-suited and everyone who blindly ships Lilina with Roy is a coward.
  • What makes me happy about them: They’re two girls in similar situations but with different processes of Dealing With Things which I think makes them very able to support one another and help each other grow and honestly it’s just super cute once you think of it.
  • What makes me sad about them: They don’t even get to talk in the game because god forbid Lilina get to talk to anyone who treats her like a normal person.
  • things done in fanfic that annoys me: What fanfic? It annoys me how little content there is for something that seems obvious to me.
  • things I look for in fanfic: I mean hypothetically, I love Angry Lilina. A lot of shit happens to her in a very short period of time. Let her be mad about it! As for Sue, I like it when people give her a personality even if it’s subtle because the game didn’t give us a lot to work with.
  • Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don’t think there’s a lot of good options but assuming my happy gay marriages aren’t a thing, I’d probably have Lilina marry Mildain and have Sue return to the plains having adopted Fae and just live happily there as her epilogue suggests. She’s marry another Sacaean.
  • My happily ever after for them: They adopt Fae first of all! Sue supports Lilina in her bid for Lycia’s throne, and Lilina helps Sue re-establish peace on the plains. Lilina has a few kids with Mildain, at least one heir for each place but maybe more and it’s just a happy family! Lilina has a daughter named Madelyn after her grandmother, the way Lyndis was named for her grandmother. Anyway it’s Cute and Good.
  • who is the big spoon/little spoon: Sue is the big spoon.
  • what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Horse-back riding, and spending time in nature.

from the outside my fixation on Lilina/Sue might seem illogical but I promise it is not and here are the steps

1: get mad that Lilina doesn’t have supports with anyone but Roy and her servants

2: try to figure out who in the army could be her friend

3: decide on Sue b/c they’re roughly the same age and in the same situation and (if you think Lyn is Lilina’s mom) they might have even known each other already

4: ????

5: fall into shipping hell
