i just finished a deadly education and let me just say i adore el and orion. i love how they fall for each other but for the exact opposite reason of the way other ppl see them. el looks at loved for being a knightin shining armor who can do no wrong orion lake and goes. hes actually cringe and fail. i like that in a man. and orion lake looks at weapon of mass destruction knows multiple languages to roast you galadriel and goes shes actually kind of nice. she shares her food with me. i want to marry her i think. thinking abt them

Every SINGLE fictional relationship worth rooting for is just that fuckin Steven Universe song from both sides of the relationship.

I always thought I must be bad but now I’m sure that it’s true, because I think you’re so good and I’m nothing like you

Thinking about a niche Stranger Things - Scholomance AU because Steve/Eddie is SO Orion/El coded

i know canonically that if any of the origins are dead its definitely maharial but so far i can't convince myself that elrion dies. he has shit to do, the blight can't take him

Only speaks if he deems it necessary

“Can we stop talking about worm sex and get back to fighting?” -the player of our cleric Elrion

Imagine you're in school, fall in love, and get pregnant. He comes from wealth, so you think you and your baby are going to live a nice cushy life with your new man. Then he gets mauled by a bear. He's eaten right in front of you. You grieve for him. You go to his family, hoping they'll take you in, but they're awful and they want to harm your baby. So you end up raising her alone. It's tough being a single mother, but you do your best to love and protect her. She grows up and goes to school. The school is known for its bear attacks, but what can you do? It's a good school, and you can only protect her so much. Eventually your baby has to fend for herself. You can't help but worry though. The cell service is terrible but you manage to reach her and warn her to stay away from bears. She seems happy though, and even tells you she's made friends. Finally she graduates, and you're so happy she's safe. She brings her boyfriend home to meet you. It's the bear that ate your boyfriend.

Anyway, that's what happened to Gwen Higgins of the schomance series.

I just know during one of their not study dates Orion had a baby book so he can pick out names for his and El's future children.

He picks out six, a girl and boy name for each of his potential three children. They are added to his magical equivalent of a pinterest board.

ya know el really loves orion and it’s not just another teen crush, because he got a haircut and her attraction didn’t waver. not even a little. that’s true love if i’ve ever seen it.

old doodle of that one scene may as well put it here 

[modorolla]

all I want is El & Orion fan art. Is that too much to ask

[mercurialbreeze]

El: Love isn't real

Liu: You're literally making a valentine's card for Orion right now

El, pointing a glue gun at her: You're on thin fucking ice

The best love stories are always about interpersonal dynamics on a micro level and about a tangle of morality and what being together means for that on a macro level

Are they a hero or a villain on their own? What about when they’re together? Does their relationship make them better or worse people. How do person A’s hard edges push person B to be more firm and confident? How does person B’s empathy make person A warmer and kinder? How do they change each other and how do they create change as a unit

was thinking about if any of my wardens would actually wind up having kids and realized that elrion and zevran have absolutely been stealing kids from the crows for almost two decades now

Tropes for the Orion-El ship:

Enemies to friends to lovers(?)

One of the things that makes the El-Orion ship cute is how in denial El is about their relationship. As Aadhya says, she fails at dating so hard. By the end of the book, Orion comes up and puts his arm around her and whispers to her and El is all like, “I know everyone thinks we’re dating and maybe Orion might want to date me in the future, but we’re not actually dating.”

I get that El doesn’t want the distraction of a romance, so this plays into lots of tropes I like such as background romance (because they’re concerned about more important things) and pining (on Orion’s part, I think El would rather stab her eyes out than admit to pining for anyone). It’s also a variation of fake dating.
