#berelain x perrin

[iliiuan]

I much prefer Galad with Egwene and Berelain with Perrin. I'm beginning to think Gawyn and Min would be a good match, but I don't have anyone for Zarine. None of the male main characters is young enough, so she'll probably have to settle for a supporting character from the Two Rivers. Or I guess she could be gay. 🤔 Now THAT opens some possibilities...

Berelain, by creating the rumor of her sex with Perrin, actually does him a favor. It provides Perrin with space and distance from others, as he feared he might start crying if anyone tried to comfort or talk to him. Additionally, it gives others in the camp the "legal" right to stop pitying him.

“She hoped Berelain had escaped the ambush and told Perrin everything. And then fallen in a hole and broken her neck.”

Thank you Sunny!!!!

First of all, these answers all come with the caveat that I’ve only read the first 10 books and have yet to finish the series.

lowkey otp Berelain and Galad! I haven’t even reached the part in the books where they meet, but I was spoiled in advance about the ship, and I am 100% here for two extremely hot, misunderstood people getting it on.

highkey notp The whole Rand/Min/Aviendha/Elayne mess, bleeeeeeeeeeeehhh. If this were an OT4 I’d feel completely different, but it’s not, and I just. Hate it. So much. For so many reasonssssssss.

[softly] don’t notp Perrin/Faile. Even though I like Faile a lot as a character in her own right, Perrin got very boring and whiny and annoying after he fell in love with her. I said what I said.

highkey otp but i’m scared of saying it because it’s not a very popular choice MAT X ELAYNE, EXCEPT I’M NOT SCARED TO SAY IT. THEY FULFILLED LIKE EVERY CLASSIC SHIPPY TROPE IN EXISTENCE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A THING. NO I WILL NOT STOP SHOUTING ABOUT IT.

highkey otp and anyone on my tumblr knows it MAT. AND. ELAYNE. I SAID WHAT I SAID.

Rand x Perrin. Rand was missing and Perrin was worried. He went asking different people, but almost all of them were either rude to him (like Wise One) or so caught up in their own business that they didn’t care about Rand.

Yet Perrin always felt a burning under his skin, knowing that Rand needed him.

And when the facts of the kidnapping appeared, Perrin immediately said that he would come for Rand alone if needed and bring him back. He also thought that everyone would go on a rescue mission. But Rhuarc explained to him the politics Aiel, and why only little part could go. Berelain also cared for Rand only because she knew she would be killed if she lost his protection (few nobles were already killed). Meanwhile, all of Cairhien was dancing, singing, and drinking, as if no one cared about the Dragon at all—whether he was present, missing, or dead.

Perrin has his own problems these days. Faile is angry with him without reason, Berelain is stalking him obsessively, and he’s confused, exhausted, and lost. But still, he puts everything aside because Rand is the most important thing right now.

What did it matter how much land had to be reconquered - or even how many people died, though that thought came reluctantly, painfully - stacked against Rand, the Dragon Reborn, being taken prisoner to Tar Valon?

Robert Jordan shows us how little the Dragon Reborn means to others. And only a few truly cared for him. Also, Perrin took Rand's sword with him. I find it to be a very beautiful and sentimental gesture, as if keeping a part of Rand with him. He did something similar with Faile's horse later, holding its reins as if ensuring that when her horse was safe with him, it meant she was safe too. At the battlefield at Duma's Well, Perrin went straight into the battle with one thought: "I need to get to Rand." Chopping through everything around him, praying that the figures in cadin'sor were men, he repeated to himself, "I need to get to Rand."
