Okay, so I apped Tazendra knowing that a few players knew her canon, but I never expected a canonmate for her becuase... well, book characters. (Hell, I didn't even tell anyone I was doing it, so until her app was approved, no one didn't know a thing.)
Bones specifically offered to play Aerich and even good-ended Bones to clear up a slot. I was away when Apus was intro'd, so I had to wait to have them meet -- it was before Tazendra had remembered him and Aerich had remembered anything but it was all 'hey, you are probably from my world'. I did find it hilarious that Tazendra had been there for at least a month IC time before Aerich arrived, and Corvus's terrible win record meant she didn't remember someone that important to her. Which... well, considering Royal was freaking out over Euphy on Apus might have been a bit much.
Honestly, I expected that Aerich would get his 'Tazendra dies' memory quickly, because... well, if I were a Judge and I knew two characters knew each other, giving them memories that 'your important person is DEAD' is sweet. After that... it was kind of funny that he told her, but, because he did so in third person (she asked what was troubling him, and he did so indirectly enough that she didn't clue in that he meant him and her, even once she had all the pieces), she didn't grok it. Which was fine by me.
Even once Tazendra remembered 'I am strongly attracted to Aerich', she never mentioned it out of 'well, I must have had a good reason'.
Then Mirror hit Tazendra with her penalty, and she was honestly terrified since she knew Aerich was a Duke and she was now a peasant, that he'd no longer be her friend. And he was upset by the change, but not at her and was all 'you are still Tazendra the bravest woman I know and don't even let gene-altering gods tell you otherwise'.
There was also the hilarious Apus/Cygnus 'wedding' during the baby minigame, where somehow Daisy and Aerich got drafted as parents to the baby doll and ended up play-acting a wedding. The first Tazendra heard of it was from Cheer, who didn't know it was part of a game, and Tazendra was all 'well, he's my friend but this is... surprising and upsetting', until Aerich set her straight. (Maya later said OOCly if Cheer had known Tazendra had a thing for Aerich, she would have encouraged her to challenge Daisy for Aerich's hand... that may not have gone well, save for Daisy freaking out and hiding.)
And right after was the honesty game and everyone else was all '... DNW', while Tazendra honestly doesn't see what's scary about public speaking so was so happy she could still help in games. And Lyvus was given the 'confess your love to someone', so Tazendra did so... and it worked. And Everything was Beautiful since neither of them remembered why they hadn't done this sooner.
Until Aerich was all 'I don't know what to wish for' after Tazendra made her wish, I still thought they'd be stuck with 'well, it's been fun', to be honest. Hell, until the final mingle when both revealed 'my team would be mad at me if I stay dead', I thought one or both of them would end up dead at the end of Sabra.
Well, that was long. Tell me about some of your favorite CR?
