How is it that February is almost over? January felt like 6 months in itself and this month felt like its been a week. My sense of time is all messed up!

Continuing my theme of all things fluffy and lovey-dovey, this week I’m going to be talking about my favorite OTP’s, which stands for “one true pairing.” So basically I’m going to talk about all the relationships that make me emo. 

You all know that feeling, right? The envy that sits deep in your gut that two characters have each other but also the incredibly happy feeling because they’re perfect together. Just me? Ah, okay well...

1. Aelin and Rowan from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas

I just finished re-reading the ToG series and I realized how little I appreciated Rowan and Aelin’s relationship. Of course I was all for them being together, me being the hopeless romantic that I am, but the second time around I saw how truly important their relationship is. Not only are they carranam and mates but they’re...soulmates, twin-flames, etc. I dont think there is a word to describe how great they are. They fought their way out of the darkest places in their minds together. They rediscovered who they are together. They dream of a better world because they are together. Everyone says that you love people wholly, despite their faults and flaws and Aelin and Rowan are the epitome of that idea. They accept each other for their pasts and stick together no matter what happens. Whenever they say “to whatever end,” a little part of me breaks because I know they truly mean it.

2.  Juliette and Warner from the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi.

Juliette and Warner are living proof that it’s okay to have faith in the “bad boys.” Their relationship was a slow burn fic in itself and you don’t even realize it until the last book. Warner was smitten with Juliette the first time he laid eyes on her and I HATED him for it. He seemed like such a prick, who was pretending to be on her side to get what he wanted. I wanted to protect Juliette from him at all costs. BUT, that all changed when we learned how much of soft boy Warner really is. Can we reminisce on when he threw tantrums when he was held hostage? And how he wouldn’t stop until he could see/talk to Juliette? Granted, their relationship didn't start off great, starting with Juliette shooting him. But that’s beside the point. Juliette and Warner bring out the best in each other and I cannot wait to see how they run the world.

3. Lina and Andrius from Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Septys

Just thinking of these two makes my heart hurt. Their relationship is not a typical one, it’s not even a main theme in this story, but it’s extremely important to me nonetheless. Lina and Andrius met in a transportation car while being displaced from their homes in Lithuania. The way their relationship develops isn’t like a typical YA love story, it’s a story about survival. How two teenage kids learned to work together to survive and how to keep others alive by just their wits. Andrius and his mother sacrificed so much for Lina and her family. He snuck her extra food rations, gave her cigarettes, and attempted to teach her Russian. He kept her smiling when she was losing hope on finding her father or ever seeing home again. The fact that they find each other after being transported to separate labor camps shows that they were meant to be.

4. Feyre and Rhysand from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas

Do NOT act surprised that you’d find these two in my favorite’s list. They are my number one, absolute FAVORITE duo in the entire world. Their relationship started off kind of like Juliette and Warner’s. Rhysand was the big bad Fae who Feyre hated because Tamlin (her then current love interest) hated. However, Rhysand redeems himself by helping her survive against Amarantha, an evil Fae leader bent on killing her because she loved Tamlin. Rhysand kept her on the brink of life while trapped in the dungeons, and when she actually did die, he convinced the other Fae Lords her life was worth saving. From then on their relationship grows, they become acquaintances to friends to lovers because he saves her from her toxic life in the Spring Court and she sees the man Rhysand really is. Someone who loved her this entire time, but hid it because he wanted her to choose where her happiness came from. AHHHHHH, how can you not love their story?!

5. Calla and Ren from the Nightshade series by Andrea Cremer

So my last couple, aren’t actually a couple. This is my only form of protest, that Calla and Ren should have been the end result to a frustrating love triangle. In the beginning of Nightshade, Calla and Ren are being groomed to become the next leaders of the Nightshade pack, two strong alphas to lead future packs. However, Calla didn’t want that, she questioned the life that was being laid out for her and when she met someone who disrupted that life, she wanted it. She ended up with human scion Shay, someone who she and Ren were supposed to kill on their wedding night as a way to start their new life as pack leaders. Shay ALWAYS gave me the weirdest vibes; he was insecure for the longest time then became annoyingly prideful when he “got the girl.” Ren was a jerk in the beginning, but he was only that way because he didn’t know any better. Calla made him a better person by opening his eyes to a new, free life and he was willing to fight to get away with Calla because he still wanted to be with her. Ren didn’t deserve what he got in the end (which I cant say because I’ll spoil the entire series) and HE SHOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH CALLA.

There are so many more power couples that I love, but if I named all of them, this post would be too long and I’d be in a puddle of my own tears.

Who are some of your favorites? Let me know!

As always, happy reading! x.
