Your favourite couple?

Who is your favourite couple in wot?

[chongjasmine]

Mine is Lan and Nynaeve, though I find perrin and faile more relistic.

[AirsickAviar he/him]

This is the one aspect of the books I felt could have had a lot of improvement. Though, there were a solid handful of good ones. As far as WoT Romances go, so long as no one dares say that four letter name starting with T with anyone, I think we are fine here

Anyway, if you put a knife to my throat, I would probably say Faile and Perron.

They were solid, they had quirks, and he needed to learn the lesson that just because she had a flitting emotion, does not mean she could not consciously tell herself no, and it was not betrayal, it could have saved so much trouble. Anyway, they both really did love each other, and they compliment each other in different ways, it was kinda cute, started rocky, kept with different bits of rockiness, but it all worked out. Shame there were two kidnapping plots, one right after the other one. Poor lad can't catch a break. It's not the the best sort of all-star romance I have ever seen on page, but it's definitely a solid one, which I grew to like quite a bit over my many reads of the story. And, I think, the best one, despite it in many ways, being the simplest.

I've been rereading / listening to the series again for the first time in about 8 years (I've read the first 8 or so books many times). I just got through The Dragon Reborn where Faile and Perrin meet and I am onto The Shadow Rising where they get married. It's much less argumentative than what I remember it as. I'm actually enjoying their chapters. 

With all the WoT romances and even male - female friendships I was always thinking "do you hate each other?". Constant, hostile arguments between characters who supposedly like each other. I get it. Couples argue, opposites attract etc. but they don't argue all the time. I think some of it has to do with the length of the series when things slowed down and characters would be mad at each other for hundreds of pages when it would have been a couple chapters in the early books. 

Perrin - Faile is the one I remember most strongly from when I read it originally and I'm enjoying them so far on reread.

Galad and Berelain. Wish we could’ve seen more of them together.

[Dreamwa1ker she/her]

Lan and Nynaeve. Though I also really liked where Mat and Tuon was developing, but we needed more time for them - unfortunately we won't ever get their spinoff books but I am so curious to think about what their relationship would have been like a couple years after the end of the series.

[Mage he/him]

Androl and Pavara, all the way. I wish we could see more of them. Their relationship perfectly subverts all expectations, but also has amazing chemistry. They complete each other, and their double bond is fascinating.

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Nynaeve and Lan, though I find all the male-female interactions in WOT a bit screwed up. They have so much contempt for each other, it makes me sad.

Same here! Lan and Nyn forever!

[The Sovereign]

Bayle Domon & Egeanin Tamarath (Leilwin Shipless)

[DefiantAllomancer she/her]

I know Rand has tons of other girlfriends and weird complicated relationships with other people, but I thought his relationship with Avhienda was really kind of sweet. In Fires of Heaven, he runs after her into that snowstorm and she wakes up after and is like, 'even here you came after me.'

[Aredor]

Honestly, Androl and Pevara was so cool. Getting to see Pevara through the series develop through Jordan and Sanderson, and then Brandon makes the coolest character of all time,  which is Androl.

[chongjasmine]

I like Faile and Perrin.

[Xaladin he/him]

Probably Lan and Nynaeve. It’s just more epic than the rest.

Imo all of the romances are the same story except for Mat and Tuon. Maaaybe Moiraine and Thom. I don’t mind though. If romance is the #1 thing you read a book for you probably don’t pick up Wot.

Agreed. WoT doesn't focus on those relationships, but if asked, I would say that Loial and Erith were cute.
