sosuke and miu:

Had very clear set-up with multiple moments showing Miu be into Sousuke (for example, someone says "when you think of someone you like, you get more power!" and Miu immediately thinks back to a time she was concerned for Sousuke in battle, and the goes "Why did I remember that!?"). However, they never actually get together despite all the build up. Miu is explicitly shown to have romantic feelings for Sosuke and Sosuke is oblivious. However it never really goes anywhere beyond hints.

norea and el5n:

One of them (Norea) was killed just after accepting a proposal to travel the world with Elan. Spoilers! Norea gets killed right as she is agreeing to El5n's plea for them to escape the war* and run away together instead of laying down their lives as replaceable tools. *(referring to it as "the war" is a oversimplification of the political conflict they're involved in, done on purpose to save time/space for this submission)  (Side note that I think should be taken into consideration in classifying the ship as straight bait: The actual main couple of the show is an f/f couple. They are engaged to be married [Update because the finale just aired today: epilogue shows them now married with their wedding rings on], they both live, & their developing relationship is a main driving force for the plot, in-part because said engagement is a very purposeful Revolutionary Girl Utena reference, because the show's head writer also wrote the novel adaptation of Utena) [END OF SPOILERS] So El5n was actually really annoying to watch for most people when he was introduced, but watching El5n and Norea annoy each other was very enjoyable, especially while they were locked in a room together (along with Nika) because any of them being out and about would be inconvenient for the faction each of them had gotten tangled up with. but then this stuff happened: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPTQR3WcAYTFpN?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPTWITWwAMfTmv?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPTzvgWYAAmRZR?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPT5C4WcAAREsC?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPUvdrWAAAnvVO?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPU_NdXoAABias?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPVDdCWAAAWAl7?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPVH_oWAAIX3eC?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPVeJdXwAQEqWD?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPVh_5WcAIQ3R7?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPVnDwWcAAVwWy?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPV27AXgAEEDn_?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPWE6RXoAIsTrv?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPWPzSWIAIvgMz?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5BqufXoAEiIvL?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5BtiuXoAgKGfE?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5CsN-WYAM-_Qa?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5C626XoAAc5zl?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5DE55XgBgBdu4?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5DJS2XgAA4RkC?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5FUsSWwAcj0mI?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5NryzXsAAw3QG?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5NqLnXwAAFpr-?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5N9RUWcAEZWOZ?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5OxnvWwAMSSiQ?format=jpg&name=medium [BUDDY I DONT EVEN KNOW BUT OPEN THOSE IMAGES AT YOUR PERIL]

it’s clones all the way down

[astraskylark]

I think the saddest thing about Norea and Elan was that they both lost the potential to help each other.

It's that one second it took for El5n to make that choice, to reach out and yell, to ask Norea to take him away with her to a place where they could try to figure out what to be.

It's that one second Norea took to stop fighting, to turn around, to experience the smallest flicker of hope, to learn a name, to maybe start living instead of dying.

It's the one second it took to for Dominicus to brutally shoot her.

It's about what they could have been, and how they will never get the chance to find out

picard and crusher:

They have a number of romantic moments throughout the TNG series from arguably the first but DEFINITELY the second episode. but they only get together (briefly before divorcing) in an alternate timeline episode which is also the season finale. Also they have a kid together in Picard but are still not allowed to be together She was married to his best friend and he was in love with her but wouldn’t say anything because he wouldn’t want to damage his bestie’s marriage and then his friend died and they met again years later and shared a lot of romantic and sexual tension for years. He openly admitted (under mind reading) that he had loved her since his bestie was alive but felt he couldn’t act on it. In an alternate future they got married. In the canon future they got together and broke up repeatedly because trauma makes relationships hard sometimes and they have a kid together who is named after the aforementioned bestie. An episode forcing them to share thoughts makes him openly admit that he loves her and has loved her for years even when she was married to his best friend.
