Miraak: The dragonborn has an ulterior motive. I can't let my attraction to her sway me. I have to resist.

Also Miraak: *Writes down her name in his notebook, literally has a sketch of her in his notebook, can't stop thinking about her eyes, dreams of her, stares at her when he thinks she is not looking, doesn't mind when she touches him, enjoys her company and has made excuses to spend more time with her, compliments her on her strength regularly, has definitely made some subtle flirty comment at her*

Getting Val and Miraak to confess their feelings for each other was like pulling teeth.

You have Val who is absolutely in love with Miraak but she literally thinks he should know that she loves him by now. Why else would she have spent years of her life dedicating herself to learning how to resurrect dragons (a skill only Alduin, a GOD, possesses) just for the sole purpose of giving Miraak a chance to experience freedom for once in his life. Valkrea resurrected him because she genuinely cared about him. That's it. There is literally no other reason she did it. Also she has never been one to verbally express to her loved ones she cares about them. She will show it though. Actions have more meaning to her than words.

On the other hand you have Miraak. He genuinely believes that Val resurrected him because she is planning to use him for something. He has been nothing but an object to be used for the Dragon Cult's and Hermaeus Mora's own gain. That's what he has known all his life and he doesn't expect it to be any different with the legendary Last Dragonborn. It's something he is really struggling with because he is also absolutely in love with her. He constantly reminds himself to not let her sway him because she has an ulterior motive. He is only sticking around with her while he gets stronger again.

So Val won't tell him she cares about him and Miraak is convinced she has an ulterior motive.

It takes a physical fight for them to finally admit those feelings.

Valkrea: This is the plan to resurrect Miraak.

Paarthurnax: Just :) because :) you :) can :) do :) a :) thing :), it :) does :) not :) always :) mean :) you :) should :). But :) if :) you :) see :) your :) destiny :) so :) clearly :) then :) I :) bow :) to :) your :) certainty :).

Just some random thoughts but I currently consider Miraak and Odahviing as both of Valkrea's boyfriends even though I mostly have Miraak brainworms atm. And if for some reason Miraak ends up as her only romantic interest, I would still always consider Valkrea and Odahviing as a bonded pair. Bonded by soul and blood. They are inseparable and always will be. Their pain would be immeasurable if one was permanently taken from the other. They learn from each other and grow together. They can feel what the other is feeling. They can see what the other is thinking. They strengthen each other. They protect each other. They are always there for each other. When Miraak is no more (let's face it, he is not an elf. His lifespan likely won't compare to hers), she has Odahviing. When her friends are no more, she has Odahviing. When all that she loves and knows is gone, she has Odahviing. And honestly when she dies, Odahviing will find a way to follow and Valkrea will find a way to bargain with the gods so that he can be in Sovngarde with her.

Miraak: If I had a nickel for every time someone whose name starts with the letter V kicked my ass, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Okay but that last post I reblogged is funny to me because I have this saved under Val x Miraak memes

[the-ebonarm]

I think the fact that Valkrea defeats and kills Miraak already has their relationship starting out on a somewhat positive note? Don't get me wrong, he is still annoyed that she kicked his ass but he can respect real power and strength.

Valkrea is also already giving Miraak patience (and she is not a patient woman), forgiveness (and she is not a forgiving woman), and understanding. She willingly made the choice to resurrect him and the choice to bear the consequences that come of it.

So you should uhh totally tell me what Valkrea's fave foods and colors are 💅💅

Her favorite colors are green and black!

She is not very picky about food but she thinks soup is like the best thing ever. This is literally her if anyone disagrees btw:

Any kind of soup will make her happy. Chili soup, tomato soup, vegetable soup, onion soup, clam chowder, mushroom soup, noodle soup, potato soup, chicken soup, seafood soups, etc etc.

Her favorite of all time though is just a simple beef stew with some vegetables.

They will both kill you

It's humorous to me that both Odahviing and Miraak tried to kill Valkrea at one point and they both haven't been present in Tamriel physically for 5000-ish years. She has also defeated both of them.
