Geoffrey and/or Lyon >8D

A) My OTP: Geoffrey/Elincia. Because it's adorable. And I actually very much like the fact that for a long while it seems to be one-sided. I do have a weakness for things like that. And despite them being kinda-siblings I never got any "sibling vibes" from them (I did get them from Lucia and Elincia, which is probably one reason why I can't ship them)

B) The runner up: ~~Geoffrey/Ike~~ Geoffrey/Bastian. Because Bastian >8D

C) The anti-ship: For some reason I can't stand Geoffrey/Nephenee. I don't know why and maybe a year ago I could read it perfectly well. I don't know what happened here.

D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character: ~~He's not a pansy~~ Damn, I'd need to know some popular opinions about him XD Maybe that he'd get over his crush on Elincia? But I do believe that about almost all characters, like Seth. Lyon might be an exception here 8>

E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why: That sweet NPC from chapter 24161 even though he had a nice ass. Too bad.

A) My OTP: Ephraim/Lyon. It just makes so much sense. 8D

B) The runner up: Lyon/DK. Idk. I don't have that much Lyon pairings. Onesided Knoll->Lyon is amusing but I have no special feelings about it XD

C) The anti-ship: I really can't get behind Eirika/Lyon actually. I always had the feeling that Lyon is far too focused on Ephraim. He doesn't ignore Eirika, but it never felt as genuine to me.

D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character: Is it unpopular to think that he's pathetic and a surprisingly boring villain? As a character he is interesting with all his issues and yes his patheticness. But as a villain he sucks.

E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why: ~~His daddy~~ He never fell in love with L'Arachel, which is tragic, because that would've been hilarious. And poor Knoll, Lyon never fell in love with you as well. *sadface*

Well, it's canon that Lyon loves Eirika, so I think that can't be ignored. But. . .I agree that everything he does about Ephraim seems much more . . . intense?

I think the common opinion on Lyon is that he's, to be crude, a pussy, and not a very intimidating villain. lol.

Also, Geoffrey/Nephenee. I don't get it.

Curious - do you see Ephraim/Lyon as requited? Like, does Ephraim feel the same way?

He does love her, but not as he loves Ephraim. It just feels a bit different :/

Well, he truly isn't intimidating XD He's too squishy to be intimidating. (Which could be scary, because the small ones and children are always the most scary parts in horror movies, but Lyon is just... Lyon XD)

That is an interesting question. To put it into simple words; yes. To make it more difficult; not really. It's... more like they're friends+1. To outsider they still seem like friends - they don't hold hands, or kiss in public (kiss very rarely), go on "official" dates (only "Lets grab some food" or "Hey, there's a theme park! I wanna ride the rollercoaster"). And in many ways Ephraim´s feelings haven't changed; often Lyon is still just "friend". And yet, there's just this underlying feeling of "we're more than friends", but it's not easy to discern. Also, I really can't picture Ephraim ever saying "Lyon, I love you". He communicates his love differently.

It is... complicated.

Personally, I can't see Ephraim/Lyon as knowingly requited in canon. There's just too much saying otherwise there for me. But in an AU, what you pose sounds about right.

Also, re:Orson and Seth and Kyle - I don't think Kyle really has that issue. He's able to ditch for Frelia, or run off with Lute. He's not tied down by any sense of duty in the end. Seth, on the other hand, ends up in Renais no matter what, you know?

Oh yeah, in canon it's even weirder. Something is there but you cannot be completely sure what it is XD

I found Kyle´s strange focus on Ephraim really, really strange. That's mostly why he falls into the "could be" category.
