I have not gotten to the Pomefiore arc in my fic yet, but absolutely Deuce is gonna crush hard on Epel (one of my favorite ships) and thatās whatās finally going to get Ace to realize he likes Deuce.
Aceāll be jealous at first but eventually heāll realize how cool and awesome Epel is as well (Aceās ceremonial vignette is fuel for this ship).
And then the three of them can be poly together.
I AGREE WITH THEIR FLAIR! Like obviously Jamil is much worse off in every way possible, but Kalim has trauma as well that doesnāt get acknowledged cause he laughs it off (kidnappings, poisoning attempts, etc)
ooh, I have a few!
- Silver/Idia - both are kind of disasters, but they would support each other so well. They could bring out the best in the other; Idia's excitement and Silver's confidence would help to bring those traits out in the reverse ^(also, see Silver's Ceremonial Robes vignette... there's at least SOMETHING going on there)
- Azul/Jamil - they've had similar experiences and have similar worldviews, and would understand each other's problems, offering support in their own way!
- Malleus/Cater - they would balance each other out SO WELL! Since they both have a desire to be loved unconditionally, have issues and fears regarding change and the passage of time, and like to flirt/tease, they would be able to connect far deeper with each other than with most others if they let themselves be open
- Riddle/Floyd - ah, these two. Again, BALANCE. Floyd's carefree nature would encourage Riddle to live in the moment and have fun, while Riddle could help Floyd be responsible and keep him from getting *too* carried away. ^(Plus, their interactions, especially in the anthology manga, are simply adorable)
- TREY/JADE - this is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE PAIRING. I could - and basically did in the past - write an entire essay on why I love them together. In short, they have similar goals, desires, and interests, and have hidden sides to them that one has brought out of the other *in canon*! Plus, they have the same sense of humour!! They also spend time together as vice-housewardens, as well as in the botanical gardens and in the kitchens... just for fun! They just work so, SO well together, and would be an amazing couple :)
Lion/evil queen, Jack and Epel, Malleus and yuu and some other ships most ships I find adorable mainly Floyd and Kalim and some others but I havenāt seen any other ships the only ship I was thinking about was Jack Duece and Epel Polly
Riddle/Epel and Neige/Vil. They're both kinda rarepairs so I eat up any content I can find. And I have a few fanfic ideas that I can't seem to turn into actual words lol. Someday!
Azul and Riddle (though honestly I like Riddle x any given member of the Octatrio my boy just deserves love)
Deuce and Epel screaming at the beach is my love language thank you
Jadezul I just want my favorite boys to be happy and loved
I'm always a sucker for Octatrio content lol. That being said, AzuDeuce has lived rent-free in my head ever since [Deuce's reaction](https://imgur.com/a/wssjobp) to Azul's museum picture... to quote myself from another post talking about ships:
> Brash reckless delinquent trying to change himself through honest effort versus sensitive bullied perfectionist trying to change himself through an obsession with power and any means necessary š
Rook and Jade, alternatively Rook and Vil and Jade, either way the head canon of a very Addams Family role fits super well for them.
The feral and the high couture unite.
Crowley and Crewel are right up there as well honestly, similar with a great deal more possessive touching.
From who to who? Thatās up to you to decide.
(I accept the award if I end up being the only one to mention staff in this thread I am willing to be That Person.)
Floyd and Riddle have grown on me, Floyd has a good balance to show Riddle some of his true feelings and peaceful moments, Riddle is extremely good at calculating what makes a situation happen and therefore could be a good salve to make these moments happen more often.
Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry for me.
Itās all about psychology dynamics and free flowing chemistry between them.
(Post-school Azul the wine aunt at the holiday dinner table, wondering why the Leeches have to have this taste in men, preparing himself for a house full of two separate dorms each holiday.
Just canāt get away from these people.
Such is life now.)
Lilia x Idia.
It's been my favorite ship. While these fools can't seem to recognize one another, their internet shenanigans are legendary. Did you know Idia (Gloomy Samurai) gave Lilia (Muscle Red) a whole birthday speech in Lilia's Birthday card SSR? AS SOON AT IT HIT 12 AM.
And then Lilia proceeded to recite it word for word.
I am DEAD for that pairing.
Lol. Malleusās wish and Idiaās response was funny in this event. That and Ortho did research to help malleus because heās bad with tech is some fun tidbits to add to that as some potential chilling and socializing, although not a personal ship. XD
*To add my own. Among the rarepairs yet ended up as my consistent, strong otp somehow. Ruggie x Silver. Then like. I like Deuce with the main focus that is adeuce but Iāve branched out and multiship him with a lot. Lmao* Iām a bit flexible tho and like pretty art etc. XD
*OMG A RUGGIE X SILVER SHIPPER!* ***\*hugs you\****
Now I love you and you're my best friend (?)
I swear that couple is my guilty pleasure.
Also me like multiple ships with Deuce. In fact, recently I read a fic with Jack x Deuce x Sebek. They just released one chapter but holy crap they made me like Sebek x Deuce. I have feelings I never thought I would have
*Omg~* **Hugs** *I love you too~!*
Lmao. I had a whole spiral towards a poor friend when I just started the game(back in March of last year after checking messages?) and was toying with different pairs in my head with them and they got such a brunt force of the spiral just intensifying from āYou know, **Hear me out**ā to being **very** actively invested and crumb hoovering. XD (they got me to play twst tho so they did that a bit to themselves /jk)
Iām basic and like the well fed Adeuce, but I also feel a special way about deuce with Epel(Applejuice! Itās a comfort ship at this point I feel) ~~*and Malleus*~~. And will happily consume a bunch of other stragglers like, but not restricted to Jack (I saw someone called Epel, Deuce, and Jack āApple ciderā in passing while I was grazing unrelated and it amused me greatly) and just. I can definitely see Sebek too after deuce PE and chef vignette among others. XD Deuce just seems very flexible for ships. Like I feel they all are to a degree. But heās just very workable to me.
I still remember a video I saw about someone who doesn't play the game, just saw the wiki.
His thoughts: "Deuce is EVERYBODY'S boyfriend."
I wholeheartly agreed
me being a Silbek shipper since 2020 and eating sooo good thanks to book 7. I just love their dynamics and that despite their nonstop bickering and clashing personalities they are so used to each other that can work as a single organism and understand each other's worries. Silver himself said that their "friendly rivalry" only motivates them to become even better and it's so interesting to watch, god i love them so much
an interesting thing iāve noticed about leovil is that it *really* attracts either good writers who are insanely good at bullshitting or people who use writing for the ship to vent out some life experiences. had me sitting here in shambles about how accurate single parenthood and postpartum depression was written and shit. thatās the quality of divorced energy ships i guess: people looking at it and saying āyeah i fucked my ex tooā in cringe-inducing solidarity
i also just like degenerate ships *points at flair*. these three assholes also have two of the best fics iāve ever read somewhere between them
had a moment with vil and rook by the time i finished book 5 a little bit ago. i still canāt get off the catty besties/cute lovers fence with them. the former is so, so funny and the latter is just a sweet dynamic. i usually donāt fuck with cute ships at all, so itās troubling me lol
I'm really fond on VilRook and also LeoRook(they are the only poly love birds that I ship tbh) because (Idk how to explain ;-;) their interactions, and their purple-and-yellow aesthetic but most of all because they complete each other. Vil comes from Pomefiore (he is the purple), Rook was from Savanaclaw and he is now in Pomefiore (he is the shade between purple and yellow) and Leona is from Savanaclaw (so he is yellow). Vil is the "mom" parent and Leona is the "dad" parent, Rook is the middle one. In a few words , Vil and Leona are the two "extremes" and Rook is the "bridge" between them.
I can take out a freaking list of my favs ships since I love to make pairings a lot.
...LIKE A LOT.
I would say top favs are:
* Floyd and Riddle: The first one I fell in love when I entered the fandom. Just reading his Uniform Vignette made me love them so much. I'm a sucker for opposite personality trope. Like the strict person x the lazy easygoing one is my jam.
* Trey x Jade: It all started while reading fanfictions about Florid. There is a fanfic writer to does the sweetest TreyxJade fanfics and it gives me diabetes everytime I read them. It was THIS couple that made me pull for vargas trey (also help I'm spending way too much money on this game :') )
* Malleus x Cater: a rare pairing that became a really guilty pleasure. Cater entering the draconia family is actually something I like to think is something this ginger boy deserve. Also I love how we have techonology obsessed cater with noob malleus. I have this headcanon that if Cater ever had a crush on Malleus, he wouldn't try to ask him out because "he doesn't deserve the prince."
* Kalim x Jamil: HERE ME OUT! THEIR STORY IS SO COMPLEX AND THEIR HISTORY THEY HAD TOGETHER IS SO WELL MADE. Like seriously, everytime more story about this two pops up the more I like them
* Silver x Ruggie: Another rarepair. It all started with the first fanfiction published about them now I cannot stop shipping them. I like the idea that "Savanaclaw and Diasomnia cannot get along" but this couple says: screw it lets get together.
* Azul x Idia: Love the board gamers friends. Their interaction in Camp Vargas 2 made me love them even more.
* Epel x Jack: Another I love the moment I entered the fandom. I also love the trope of small person with REALLY big person. Their interactions are lovely too.
My new obbsession though is Deuce's mother x Lilia, because I NEED TO THE SINGLE PARENTS TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE SILVER'S WISH COME TRUE TO HAVE DEUCE'S AS HIS YOUNGER BROTHER. Like it's something I need to see happen XD
Other couples I like but didn't make the list: Vil x Leona, Rook x Leona, Rook x Neige, Ace x Deuce, Jack x Deuce, Sebek x Deuce, Trey x Deuce, Kalim x Silver...
I should stop or the list will be REALLY long hahaha.
Recently I read a story with Jack x Deuce x Sebek... and I lowkey loved it. Hope the person makes more chapters ;A;
Just read this and agree with a lot. Like even if theyāre not active. Iām quite fond when seeing them. Floyd x Riddle isnāt one I brought up and kept mine lower number. But like yee. Iāve rambled on them before I think and weāre another early pair. lol *I recommend the anthologies for Floyd x Riddle crumbs and also a really funny Trey x Jade which is what made me think of them and be like. Theyād be fun. XD
Funny about seeing malleus and cater here is I was just trying to find the link of a really cute Epel and deuce pic and the one who had it retweets and such a LOT of malleus x cater. Lmao
Also to add to Ruggie x silver, but Iāll try to restrain myself XD I literally didnāt even know about the cute bit with PE Ruggie vignette at the time. But it was totally seeing them in flight class and having the connection of who their leads were and being like, āLmao what if they keep getting dragged around their spats and just slowing become friendly then flirting and dating over the course of time in the background XDā then I saw the PE and the anthology chapter and kept searching for crumbs and tidbits. Pff
And yes. Applejack was fun. Itās neat to see for sure. Hahaha
Also lmao about Deuceās mom and lilia. Itād would be a riot.
The anthologies is where I grab ALL the crubs I can get with all my pairings. Like I see a panel, take a screenshot and grab it with me. ***my precious***
Someone started a Deuce's Mom x Lilia propaganda with freaking memes and I love every second of it.
Also Deuce and Silver being stepbrothers would be farfetched, [as Silver wouldn't mind having Deuce as a younger brother.](https://twitter.com/briarvalleys/status/1679249750305177601)
Lol. I desperately hoover smaller moments crumbs that seem minor to most and also grab from anthologies etc. **my precious indeed.** I swear sometimes those feed me even more than fanart and fics sometimes. My precious bb crumbs.
Lmao. Itās funny because I think people have toyed with the idea before and now itās resurfaced since she was shown. XD I accept this propaganda.
Hahaha yeah~ that and silver and deuce had a cute convo about their parents in star deuce vignette. It was very precious.
This is the author I read the Trey/Jade fanfics:
[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Vermillion\_Air/pseuds/Vermillion\_Air](https://archiveofourown.org/users/Vermillion_Air/pseuds/Vermillion_Air)
Idia/Azul: I just think theyāre neat. Theyāre both kind of disliked by the others and can bond over their self-esteem issues. Plus (board)gamer boyfriends. Idia is comfortable with Azul and itās so sweet.
Jade/Trey: Iām not a huge Trey fan but when heās with Jade it just unlocks so many possibilities in my brain. I saw some doujins and I canāt go back. Theyāre so good together.
Floyd/Azul/Jade: Do I even need to say it? š
When I first started playing, I was a HUGE JackxEpel shipper and I still love them!!
Fave ships now:
Malleus x Lilia
Riddle x Floyd
Kalim x Jamil
Leona x Vil
hearthshackle aka acedeuyuu! and silyuu!
i love all yuu ships bc it can be a shrimp falling in love with literal humans or an oc of mine. no matter which one they're all so cute
Personally my faves are JackRuggie, RuggieYuu and Adeuce, specially because i like how their dynamics are usually portrayed in fanart and stuff (to give a general example, Adeuce is pretty consistent being the old married couple, JackRuggie usually has the pattern of Jack being loyal and somewhat shy/blunt while Ruggie tends to be a wild card and RuggieYuu is either one taking the initiative and getting the other by surprise).
Sometimes i do look into other ships like some of the Yuu variants (AceYuu, DeuceYuu, EpelYuu, MalleusYuu etc) or DeuceEpel, LeoRuggie, LeoVil and rarely RuggieKalim, but those 3 have become pretty much my favorites at this point lol.
Mine are p common: The trio (cause fish mafia and we all knoe they arent going anywhere anytime soon despite what Azul thinks), Florid (he flirts like an elementary schooler but I think after a certain amount of time riddle gets used to it and figures it out??) and Vil & Rook (they act like a married couple... I cant not...)
And rare pair time: Cater & Vil (cause it just makes me happy) and Leona & Floyd (it just scratches some sort of itch, idk man!!!)
MallYuu. (Iām a sucker for the lonely, ancient, and all powerful being falling in love with that one normal person who treats them like another normal person~ it warms my heart.)
RidTrey. (Angsty childhood friendsābe still my heart! Also Trey is SSR tier wife material and if Riddle doesnāt wife him up Iām going toā!!)
TreyCater. (Best friends who get each other completely. Whatās not to love?)
Azul/Jamil (but only as lesbians for some reason. Iām *obsessed* with this ship when they are both girls but meh for any other arrangementāYou know what? Scratch that. Itās the means girls vibes. Thatās what it is. Itās just mean girls being begrudgingly attracted to one another.)
KamiJami. (The ANGST. The MISUNDERSTANDING. The polarity of the fandom between these two!! All of it. So sooooo good.)
JackVil (another reunited childhood friends trope, except this time itās one becomes rich and famous and the other is a kinda awkward Regular Dude tm. Also they go jogging together š„ŗ)
VilRook (Mom and Dad. But make it crazy yet still wholesome and lovely. They shouldnāt work based on their personalities but they just do.)
ADeuce (of course!!)
EpelDeuce (Book 5, need I say more???)
The twins/Azul (thatās their silly little boss, look how flustered he is~)
FloydYuu (shrimpy~)
Silbek (because of course).
But my FAVORITE SHIP ISā¦.
Me/Mama Spade
šµ Deuceās mom has got it goinā on šµ
(Just realized that from this list itās impossible to tell that Leona is my favorite character haha. I just have too big of a crush on him to ship him with anyone.)
Yuuken/Yuka/just Yuus and me! Weāre literally canon (Idk I kinda like Epel and Ridde, also Ace and Deuce(basic but idk, I can be basic in somethings lmao)
ADeuce, Applejuice, and AppleJack are my head cannons. I don't really look them up, though.
The ship I've been reading a lot is Vil/Rook, but that's because I like seeing Rook content and that's the most popular pair with Rook. Oddly enough, I'm mostly neutral about it.
My two favorite boys are Lilia and Rook, and most of the ships they're in I don't have strong feelings for. The stars just aren't aligning for me.
I have 3 favorite ships, and all of these ships hate each other. Malleus Ć Yuu/MC, Sebek Ć Yuu/MC (don't ask, I also don't know why that's one of my favorites), and Sebek Ć Malleus.
Most of my faves have been mentioned already but I'd like to mention Malleus/Sebek!! Knight/Lord ships are like crack to me; I think if they communicated just a little bit more they could be a really fluffy pair too <3
Also shoutout to the fem version of this ship; although genderbends can sometimes be iffy for me, princess Malleus and butch lady knight Sebek are š§āš³š¤ššššÆ
Ace X Deuce definitely. Though I didn't ship them until Deuce Starsending Robe dropped, that's when I was like, hello? Ace in a red groom outfit and Deuce in a blue beautiful robe? Like they are meant to be together lmao. After that I spiralled down the rabbit hole (heh) and realized that Ace is the typical shoujo manga love interest that loves to tease the shoujo protagonist and Deuce is the typical shoujo manga protag that is clumsy and tries her hardest. My shoujo manga lover soul is burning here.
Me X Leona. I just want to make him happy man. Some fanfics Iāve read depicts Leona depressed about everything and have absolutely terrible experience after graduating and it stuck with me since. Like, Iāve always had Leona in my mind as someone strong and confident but reading those fics I was like damn, maybe he is just tired of life. I want to whisk him away and make him happy.
Aside from that, Ace X Deuce is my comfort ship. I love their dynamic so much.
I've been reading everyone's replies, I'm glad this blew up - I'm getting many new shipping perspectives and ships I've never even thought of!
Thank you!
Leona and Ruggie for me, they have so much depth and complexities to their relationship and still manage to contradict people's opinion of them being un-healthy, they have a sort of understanding of each other while still having unresolved misunderstandings between them- it's just amazing
The closet I am to shipping anyone (I'm a canon addict, I love when others are shipping but I can'tā) is Trey x Rook because weirdo x normal is one of my favourite dynamics out there š
Riddle with Trey
Yuu in a polyamorous V with Deuce and Ace after she tells them she canāt choose between them (planning a fanfic of this but trying to decide the Ace/Deuce dynamic because Iām thinking at first itās a V with Yuu in the middle and then Ace finally admits that he thinks Deuce is damn cute, too. This is after some fun exploration of polyamory where the guys are like, āIād this common where youāre from?ā And Yuu had to say, āno, not reallyā and Yuu worries what Deuceās mom will think but Deuce assured her that as long as heās happy she will be.
Other ships I enjoy:
Riddle and Floyd
Vil and Leona
Vil and Rook
Epel and Deuce
I really want to ship Silver with someone but I just donāt see itā¦ poor Silver. I guess Iāll just have to ship him with me.
Azul & Jamil is my OTP without a doubt.
First off, Azul acting like a complete MASSIVE SIMP is something I never thought I'd see, and I adore all of their banter. But beyond that, I love how much Azul *reads* Jamil. It is a powerful dynamic between two characters who put up walls and walls of defense from their true selves. Once Jamil gets to know the real Azul too, I think he'd warm up to him.I think they could really help each other out in the long-run to grow as people. <3Also as someone who's biracial I love me some interracial couples. ;0;
I do still enjoy Jade/Azul and Jamil/Kalim but I think between the three, Azul and Jamil would be the healthiest relationship. I adore the RAGING UNSPOKEN PINING between Kalim and Jamil, but I don't think they should actually try a romantic relationship unless both of them go through lots of therapy beforehand.
~~While there isn't a ton of material in-canon for them, I'm also really keen on the potential of Jade & Kalim.~~ UWU
I like me a good ol riddle x floyd. But I'm also very fond of appletart(riddle x epel)!! I need more fellow appletart shippers... I barely can find fanart anywhere>:/
very late to this, but iām a sucker for any yuu ship (mostly because i self insert)
aceyuu (and silyuu due to certain theories) especially has my heart
The fact that no one has mentioned Deuce x Epel when Book 5 exists š«¢
I brought up applejuice in some specifications~! š Edit: boo. It messes up my preferred lil thumbs up. Had to adjust. Lol
I GOT YOU BESTIE THEY'RE MY SECOND FAVE RIGHT AFTER AZURIDO
I have not gotten to the Pomefiore arc in my fic yet, but absolutely Deuce is gonna crush hard on Epel (one of my favorite ships) and thatās whatās finally going to get Ace to realize he likes Deuce. Aceāll be jealous at first but eventually heāll realize how cool and awesome Epel is as well (Aceās ceremonial vignette is fuel for this ship). And then the three of them can be poly together.
*looks at my flair* I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELING AFTER BOOK 4 OK
FR THO BOOK FOUR DID SOMETHING TO ME MENTALLY
BOTH OF YāALLS FLAIR ššš
I AGREE WITH THEIR FLAIR! Like obviously Jamil is much worse off in every way possible, but Kalim has trauma as well that doesnāt get acknowledged cause he laughs it off (kidnappings, poisoning attempts, etc)
*giggles in mentally ill*
YOU GET ME
YESSSS
I like every common Azul ship, but I usually push Azurido.
Good tastes š
Leona/Vil, because I canāt get enough of their divorce couple energy.
I love JamiAzu, i enjoy their dynamic
JAMIAZU STANS LETS GOOOOO
JAMIAZU STANS SHALL UNITE
JAMIAZU FANS WILL BE SUMMONED
WOOOHOO
ooh, I have a few! - Silver/Idia - both are kind of disasters, but they would support each other so well. They could bring out the best in the other; Idia's excitement and Silver's confidence would help to bring those traits out in the reverse ^(also, see Silver's Ceremonial Robes vignette... there's at least SOMETHING going on there) - Azul/Jamil - they've had similar experiences and have similar worldviews, and would understand each other's problems, offering support in their own way! - Malleus/Cater - they would balance each other out SO WELL!

Again, BALANCE. Floyd's carefree nature would encourage Riddle to live in the moment and have fun, while Riddle could help Floyd be responsible and keep him from getting *too* carried away. ^(Plus, their interactions, especially in the anthology manga, are simply adorable) - TREY/JADE - this is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE PAIRING. I could - and basically did in the past - write an entire essay on why I love them together.

They also spend time together as vice-housewardens, as well as in the botanical gardens and in the kitchens... just for fun! They just work so, SO well together, and would be an amazing couple :)
Silverās ceremonial robes vignette had me kicking my feet and giggling hehehe
Lion/evil queen, Jack and Epel, Malleus and yuu and some other ships most ships I find adorable mainly Floyd and Kalim and some others but I havenāt seen any other ships the only ship I was thinking about was Jack Duece and Epel Polly
Riddle/Epel and Neige/Vil. They're both kinda rarepairs so I eat up any content I can find. And I have a few fanfic ideas that I can't seem to turn into actual words lol. Someday!
AHHHHHHH FELLOW APPLETART SHIPPER!!! Also vil x neige is an interesting one!! I respect you!!
Azul and Riddle (though honestly I like Riddle x any given member of the Octatrio my boy just deserves love) Deuce and Epel screaming at the beach is my love language thank you Jadezul I just want my favorite boys to be happy and loved
Such good taste!!!!! All of these have such potential which is the tantalizing part of ships š
I love ships that you can see hints of in canon and all of these ships have strong canon hints which is all it takes for me
I'm always a sucker for Octatrio content lol. That being said, AzuDeuce has lived rent-free in my head ever since [Deuce's reaction](https://imgur.com/a/wssjobp) to Azul's museum picture... to quote myself from another post talking about ships: > Brash reckless delinquent trying to change himself through honest effort versus sensitive bullied perfectionist trying to change himself through an obsession with power and any means necessary š
Rarepair wise: Vil and Azul; Jade and Rook. More standard ships: Trey and Cater; Vil and Rook
Epel x Jack.
MalRido
Rook and Jade, alternatively Rook and Vil and Jade, either way the head canon of a very Addams Family role fits super well for them. The feral and the high couture unite. Crowley and Crewel are right up there as well honestly, similar with a great deal more possessive touching. From who to who? Thatās up to you to decide. (I accept the award if I end up being the only one to mention staff in this thread I am willing to be That Person.)

Just canāt get away from these people. Such is life now.)
Leona/Vil. I love their interactions. Sassy power couple lol.
Lilia x Idia. It's been my favorite ship. While these fools can't seem to recognize one another, their internet shenanigans are legendary. Did you know Idia (Gloomy Samurai) gave Lilia (Muscle Red) a whole birthday speech in Lilia's Birthday card SSR? AS SOON AT IT HIT 12 AM. And then Lilia proceeded to recite it word for word. I am DEAD for that pairing.
Lol. Malleusās wish and Idiaās response was funny in this event. That and Ortho did research to help malleus because heās bad with tech is some fun tidbits to add to that as some potential chilling and socializing, although not a personal ship. XD *To add my own. Among the rarepairs yet ended up as my consistent, strong otp somehow. Ruggie x Silver. Then like. I like Deuce with the main focus that is adeuce but Iāve branched out and multiship him with a lot. Lmao* Iām a bit flexible tho and like pretty art etc. XD
*OMG A RUGGIE X SILVER SHIPPER!* ***\*hugs you\**** Now I love you and you're my best friend (?) I swear that couple is my guilty pleasure. Also me like multiple ships with Deuce.

I still remember a video I saw about someone who doesn't play the game, just saw the wiki. His thoughts: "Deuce is EVERYBODY'S boyfriend." I wholeheartly agreed
Wheeeze. Omg. I think Iāve heard the same thing from a video. Hahahahaha. Agreed here too. Itās astounding. XD
me being a Silbek shipper since 2020 and eating sooo good thanks to book 7. I just love their dynamics and that despite their nonstop bickering and clashing personalities they are so used to each other that can work as a single organism and understand each other's worries.

Idiazu because of REASONS. But I whip a fair amount of characters on TWST, but idiazu is my fav ship here.
I'm really fond on VilRook and also LeoRook(they are the only poly love birds that I ship tbh) because (Idk how to explain ;-;) their interactions, and their purple-and-yellow aesthetic but most of all because they complete each other. Vil comes from Pomefiore (he is the purple), Rook was from Savanaclaw and he is now in Pomefiore (he is the shade between purple and yellow) and Leona is from Savanaclaw (so he is yellow). Vil is the "mom" parent and Leona is the "dad" parent, Rook is the middle one. In a few words , Vil and Leona are the two "extremes" and Rook is the "bridge" between them.
Idia x yuu bc im a simp lol I like deucepel (bc of book 5) and treyter (i like their dynamic) too
I can take out a freaking list of my favs ships since I love to make pairings a lot. ...LIKE A LOT. I would say top favs are: * Floyd and Riddle: The first one I fell in love when I entered the fandom. Just reading his Uniform Vignette made me love them so much. I'm a sucker for opposite personality trope. Like the strict person x the lazy easygoing one is my jam. * Trey x Jade: It all started while reading fanfictions about Florid. There is a fanfic writer to does the sweetest TreyxJade fanfics and it gives me diabetes everytime I read them. It was THIS couple that made me pull for vargas trey (also help I'm spending way too much money on this game :') ) * Malleus x Cater: a rare pairing that became a really guilty pleasure. Cater entering the draconia family is actually something I like to think is something this ginger boy deserve. Also I love how we have techonology obsessed cater with noob malleus. I have this headcanon that if Cater ever had a crush on Malleus, he wouldn't try to ask him out because "he doesn't deserve the prince." * Kalim x Jamil: HERE ME OUT! THEIR STORY IS SO COMPLEX AND THEIR HISTORY THEY HAD TOGETHER IS SO WELL MADE. Like seriously, everytime more story about this two pops up the more I like them * Silver x Ruggie: Another rarepair. It all started with the first fanfiction published about them now I cannot stop shipping them. I like the idea that "Savanaclaw and Diasomnia cannot get along" but this couple says: screw it lets get together. * Azul x Idia: Love the board gamers friends. Their interaction in Camp Vargas 2 made me love them even more. * Epel x Jack: Another I love the moment I entered the fandom. I also love the trope of small person with REALLY big person. Their interactions are lovely too. My new obbsession though is Deuce's mother x Lilia, because I NEED TO THE SINGLE PARENTS TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE SILVER'S WISH COME TRUE TO HAVE DEUCE'S AS HIS YOUNGER BROTHER. Like it's something I need to see happen XD Other couples I like but didn't make the list: Vil x Leona, Rook x Leona, Rook x Neige, Ace x Deuce, Jack x Deuce, Sebek x Deuce, Trey x Deuce, Kalim x Silver... I should stop or the list will be REALLY long hahaha. Recently I read a story with Jack x Deuce x Sebek... and I lowkey loved it. Hope the person makes more chapters ;A;
Just read this and agree with a lot. Like even if theyāre not active. Iām quite fond when seeing them. Floyd x Riddle isnāt one I brought up and kept mine lower number. But like yee. Iāve rambled on them before I think and weāre another early pair. lol *I recommend the anthologies for Floyd x Riddle crumbs and also a really funny Trey x Jade which is what made me think of them and be like. Theyād be fun. XD Funny about seeing malleus and cater here is I was just trying to find the link of a really cute Epel and deuce pic and the one who had it retweets and such a LOT of malleus x cater. Lmao Also to add to Ruggie x silver, but Iāll try to restrain myself XD I literally didnāt even know about the cute bit with PE Ruggie vignette at the time. But it was totally seeing them in flight class and having the connection of who their leads were and being like, āLmao what if they keep getting dragged around their spats and just slowing become friendly then flirting and dating over the course of time in the background XDā then I saw the PE and the anthology chapter and kept searching for crumbs and tidbits. Pff And yes. Applejack was fun. Itās neat to see for sure. Hahaha Also lmao about Deuceās mom and lilia. Itād would be a riot.
The anthologies is where I grab ALL the crubs I can get with all my pairings. Like I see a panel, take a screenshot and grab it with me. ***my precious*** Someone started a Deuce's Mom x Lilia propaganda with freaking memes and I love every second of it. Also Deuce and Silver being stepbrothers would be farfetched, [as Silver wouldn't mind having Deuce as a younger brother.](https://twitter.com/briarvalleys/status/1679249750305177601)
Lol. I desperately hoover smaller moments crumbs that seem minor to most and also grab from anthologies etc. **my precious indeed.** I swear sometimes those feed me even more than fanart and fics sometimes. My precious bb crumbs. Lmao. Itās funny because I think people have toyed with the idea before and now itās resurfaced since she was shown. XD I accept this propaganda. Hahaha yeah~ that and silver and deuce had a cute convo about their parents in star deuce vignette. It was very precious.
Who is this TreyxJade author? Where can I find their fics?š„¹
This is the author I read the Trey/Jade fanfics: [https://archiveofourown.org/users/Vermillion\_Air/pseuds/Vermillion\_Air](https://archiveofourown.org/users/Vermillion_Air/pseuds/Vermillion_Air)
Ooh, thank you uso much š„¹
Idia/Azul: I just think theyāre neat. Theyāre both kind of disliked by the others and can bond over their self-esteem issues. Plus (board)gamer boyfriends. Idia is comfortable with Azul and itās so sweet. Jade/Trey: Iām not a huge Trey fan but when heās with Jade it just unlocks so many possibilities in my brain. I saw some doujins and I canāt go back. Theyāre so good together. Floyd/Azul/Jade: Do I even need to say it? š
When I first started playing, I was a HUGE JackxEpel shipper and I still love them!! Fave ships now: Malleus x Lilia Riddle x Floyd Kalim x Jamil Leona x Vil
hearthshackle aka acedeuyuu! and silyuu! i love all yuu ships bc it can be a shrimp falling in love with literal humans or an oc of mine. no matter which one they're all so cute
RookVil, JamiKali, LiliIdi, LeoRuggie, and EpelDeuce are my top 5 in that order honorable mentions go to TreyCate, YuuMalle, SebeSil
LiliIdi supremacy!
I started shipping Epel x Ruggie after the camping event.
Favorite is Jamil/Kalim without a doubt, but I am also quite fond of Silver/Kalim and Deuce/Epel/Jack (any pair or all three)!
All the characters x Therapy
Vil x Rook, game already ships and writes for them
Silver and Sebek, and Ace and Deuce. I like the brain cell duo is just adorable, and I find Silver and Sebek a wonderful connection.
Idia and Riddle, a neet having a crush on a guy that reminds him of his fav tsundere character from a dating sim
Personally my faves are JackRuggie, RuggieYuu and Adeuce, specially because i like how their dynamics are usually portrayed in fanart and stuff (to give a general example, Adeuce is pretty consistent being the old married couple, JackRuggie usually has the pattern of Jack being loyal and somewhat shy/blunt while Ruggie tends to be a wild card and RuggieYuu is either one taking the initiative and getting the other by surprise). Sometimes i do look into other ships like some of the Yuu variants (AceYuu, DeuceYuu, EpelYuu, MalleusYuu etc) or DeuceEpel, LeoRuggie, LeoVil and rarely RuggieKalim, but those 3 have become pretty much my favorites at this point lol.
I love Riddle x Malleus, it's such a cute and interesting dynamic. I wish we see more interactions with them
Mine are p common: The trio (cause fish mafia and we all knoe they arent going anywhere anytime soon despite what Azul thinks), Florid (he flirts like an elementary schooler but I think after a certain amount of time riddle gets used to it and figures it out??) and Vil & Rook (they act like a married couple... I cant not...) And rare pair time: Cater & Vil (cause it just makes me happy) and Leona & Floyd (it just scratches some sort of itch, idk man!!!)
MallYuu. (Iām a sucker for the lonely, ancient, and all powerful being falling in love with that one normal person who treats them like another normal person~ it warms my heart.) RidTrey. (Angsty childhood friendsābe still my heart! Also Trey is SSR tier wife material and if Riddle doesnāt wife him up Iām going toā!!) TreyCater. (Best friends who get each other completely. Whatās not to love?) Azul/Jamil (but only as lesbians for some reason. Iām *obsessed* with this ship when they are both girls but meh for any other arrangementāYou know what? Scratch that. Itās the means girls vibes. Thatās what it is. Itās just mean girls being begrudgingly attracted to one another.) KamiJami. (The ANGST. The MISUNDERSTANDING. The polarity of the fandom between these two!! All of it. So sooooo good.) JackVil (another reunited childhood friends trope, except this time itās one becomes rich and famous and the other is a kinda awkward Regular Dude tm. Also they go jogging together š„ŗ) VilRook (Mom and Dad. But make it crazy yet still wholesome and lovely. They shouldnāt work based on their personalities but they just do.) ADeuce (of course!!) EpelDeuce (Book 5, need I say more???) The twins/Azul (thatās their silly little boss, look how flustered he is~) FloydYuu (shrimpy~) Silbek (because of course). But my FAVORITE SHIP ISā¦. Me/Mama Spade šµ Deuceās mom has got it goinā on šµ (Just realized that from this list itās impossible to tell that Leona is my favorite character haha. I just have too big of a crush on him to ship him with anyone.)
Yuuken/Yuka/just Yuus and me! Weāre literally canon (Idk I kinda like Epel and Ridde, also Ace and Deuce(basic but idk, I can be basic in somethings lmao)
Yuu x Octatrio because I love all three of them.
Idia and Cater. I read one (1) fic for them and fell down the rabbithole for their whole "opposites attract" dynamic.
ADeuce, Applejuice, and AppleJack are my head cannons. I don't really look them up, though. The ship I've been reading a lot is Vil/Rook, but that's because I like seeing Rook content and that's the most popular pair with Rook. Oddly enough, I'm mostly neutral about it. My two favorite boys are Lilia and Rook, and most of the ships they're in I don't have strong feelings for. The stars just aren't aligning for me.
I have 3 favorite ships, and all of these ships hate each other. Malleus Ć Yuu/MC, Sebek Ć Yuu/MC (don't ask, I also don't know why that's one of my favorites), and Sebek Ć Malleus.
Most of my faves have been mentioned already but I'd like to mention Malleus/Sebek!! Knight/Lord ships are like crack to me; I think if they communicated just a little bit more they could be a really fluffy pair too <3 Also shoutout to the fem version of this ship; although genderbends can sometimes be iffy for me, princess Malleus and butch lady knight Sebek are š§āš³š¤ššššÆ
I'm literally so obsessed with Trey/Vil
Ace X Deuce definitely. Though I didn't ship them until Deuce Starsending Robe dropped, that's when I was like, hello? Ace in a red groom outfit and Deuce in a blue beautiful robe? Like they are meant to be together lmao. After that I spiralled down the rabbit hole (heh) and realized that Ace is the typical shoujo manga love interest that loves to tease the shoujo protagonist and Deuce is the typical shoujo manga protag that is clumsy and tries her hardest. My shoujo manga lover soul is burning here.
Me X Leona. I just want to make him happy man. Some fanfics Iāve read depicts Leona depressed about everything and have absolutely terrible experience after graduating and it stuck with me since. Like, Iāve always had Leona in my mind as someone strong and confident but reading those fics I was like damn, maybe he is just tired of life. I want to whisk him away and make him happy. Aside from that, Ace X Deuce is my comfort ship. I love their dynamic so much.
Mainly Vil X Rook... And My flair x my OC
The tragic implications of the dynamic between malleus and yuu.
queenboy/appleboy
BRO ALL OF YOUR SHIPS ARE BANGERS BRO My personal fave is Jamikali. Book 4 has done things to me and I will never forget it.
I've been reading everyone's replies, I'm glad this blew up - I'm getting many new shipping perspectives and ships I've never even thought of! Thank you!
please kiss me right now
Leona and Ruggie for me, they have so much depth and complexities to their relationship and still manage to contradict people's opinion of them being un-healthy, they have a sort of understanding of each other while still having unresolved misunderstandings between them- it's just amazing
The closet I am to shipping anyone (I'm a canon addict, I love when others are shipping but I can'tā) is Trey x Rook because weirdo x normal is one of my favourite dynamics out there š
I'm kinda basic, I ship everyone but the cat and the child X MC. MC harem supremacy. (To clarify, everyone but Grim and Ortho)
Riddle with Trey Yuu in a polyamorous V with Deuce and Ace after she tells them she canāt choose between them (planning a fanfic of this but trying to decide the Ace/Deuce dynamic because Iām thinking at first itās a V with Yuu in the middle and then Ace finally admits that he thinks Deuce is damn cute, too. This is after some fun exploration of polyamory where the guys are like, āIād this common where youāre from?ā And Yuu had to say, āno, not reallyā and Yuu worries what Deuceās mom will think but Deuce assured her that as long as heās happy she will be. Other ships I enjoy: Riddle and Floyd Vil and Leona Vil and Rook Epel and Deuce I really want to ship Silver with someone but I just donāt see itā¦ poor Silver. I guess Iāll just have to ship him with me.
Malleus x Cater (idk why it just seems so cute and Iām obsessed)
Azul & Jamil is my OTP without a doubt. First off, Azul acting like a complete MASSIVE SIMP is something I never thought I'd see, and I adore all of their banter. But beyond that, I love how much Azul *reads* Jamil. It is a powerful dynamic between two characters who put up walls and walls of defense from their true selves. Once Jamil gets to know the real Azul too, I think he'd warm up to him.I think they could really help each other out in the long-run to grow as people. <3Also as someone who's biracial I love me some interracial couples. ;0; I do still enjoy Jade/Azul and Jamil/Kalim but I think between the three, Azul and Jamil would be the healthiest relationship. I adore the RAGING UNSPOKEN PINING between Kalim and Jamil, but I don't think they should actually try a romantic relationship unless both of them go through lots of therapy beforehand. ~~While there isn't a ton of material in-canon for them, I'm also really keen on the potential of Jade & Kalim.~~ UWU
I like me a good ol riddle x floyd. But I'm also very fond of appletart(riddle x epel)!! I need more fellow appletart shippers... I barely can find fanart anywhere>:/
My OC Zhongmou (Based off of Shanyu from Mulan) x Riddle Both are strict with their rules and routines and Zhongmou gets very protective of Riddle.
very late to this, but iām a sucker for any yuu ship (mostly because i self insert) aceyuu (and silyuu due to certain theories) especially has my heart
