#i think my mission is to create a bigger marluke nation before i post my first real ass marluke fic on ao3

[actualbird]

It's funny because whenever I play an otoge and that I like two guys, I end up shipping them a bit. I couldn't play tears of themis for a while tho, so I don't know much about the guys interaction outside of work and bickering over the heroine, does any have some sort of friendship? (Especially Marius and Luke)

I like Marius but I love Luke more, but still he sound like such a refreshing kind of lover that I am really curious about how he would work in a relationship with Luke

eyyo!! welcome to playing tears of themis, i hope ur having fun!! funfact: this is the first ever otome game ive ever played haha.

as for ur questions: in canon, theres soooome past/offscreen interaction between the boys outside of work and bickering over mc. heres some off the top of my head

vyn is marius' private tutor. marius only returned from florence to stellis in 2029 so thats the earliest vyn could have started teaching him, so marius has known vyn since he was 20 and vyn was 26 (they maaaaybe could have met in passing before since vyn worked with marius' older brother, giann, but thats just me speculating) and thats a whole year to have interacted outside the nxx (whenever the hell the current nxx team started)

.....okay wait, nope, outside of work means outside of the nxx and the above is basically it KJBSJBKSD

artem and vyn met each other at some point before our view of the story starts, but it's most probably because of the nxx. same with marius and artem.

LUKE, my darling baby boy, is an odd one out because he only arrived at the nxx at episode 5 of the main story. he literally only met everybody then and there.

so huhu, in terms of the boys interacting with each other outside of work and outside of bantering over mc, the game doesnt show us anything outright. but thats what makes fanworks so fun!!! we can expand on implied histories, speculate on possible dynamics based on what we do know, etc etc.

so while i dont have any canon evidence as to how marius/luke would be like...

IVE WRITTEN A LOT OF STUFF FOR MARLUKE ANYWAY, HAHA!! maybe goin thru these can give u my answer to "how they are in a relationship"

ao3 fanfic: instructions unclear, got my hatred turned into begrudging endearment [comedy, marius "hates" luke.]

hc: marius/luke general ship dynamic hcs: part 1. part 2

hc: marius/luke try (and fail) to matchmake vyn/artem

minific: nsfw. marius/luke, a/b/o au, theyre both alphas

minific: marius/luke. marius does a honeypot for a case

i hope this answer helps!!!
