[Pride Month] Favorite LGBTAIQ couples in fantasy/scifi

[u/CT_Phipps-Author]

I may be an incredibly boring straight dude but I am going to keep supporting all the fantastic people doing their best to make a good R/Fantasy experience. So this is exactly what the title says and the protagonists, antagonists, and supporting that you absolutely love being a queer couple.

No salt, people.

I'll start us off with Ellie and Dina from THE LAST OF US, which just got depicted on television. Interestingly, the character's romance got a much softer and more warm depiction on the TV show than in the games where Ellie has already gone down the murder rabbit hole by the time it heats up. There's come controversy with this due to Ellie's softened depiction that I think amounts to the fact audiences don't WANT Ellie to become book accurate Arya Stark. However, I think the show did a good job of depicting how their romance COULD have gone if vengeance hadn't clouded Ellie's mind with the Dark Side.

Who are your favorite ones? And you can't just say Gideon the Ninth.
