#I've had Ultor for years

[snail-eggs]

For the ship suggestions, I'm thinking back to that thing about Xixi and Dex 👀

What would their dynamic be like had it happened?

Chase, you knew exactly what you were doing sending in this pairing *sigh*...

I'm inclined to think that Dex and Xixi wouldn't be half bad together, I mean, they were together in one of the previous drafts of my fic and while the moving parts were a lot different, they go together really well no matter the version.

I've joked before about Xixi having chemistry with virtually anyone but the only two she's had serious chemistry so far while writing were Dex and Johnny. I think that says a lot, don't you?

There's so much about them together that makes so much sense; they match each other intellectually so well, their personalities compliment each other so nicely and, honestly, when thinking logically, I think Xixi knew/knows Dex was a safer bet than Johnny. Of course, she had no idea he'd go to Ultor but, hindsight, you know?

Even now in this draft that I'm putting together, I can't do away with their closeness. They're entirely platonic now but the dynamic still feels so similar. Very playful, very comfortable. There's such a deep underlying respect there. I know that I say Xixi and Johnny are the only people who truly understand each other at their base level and are the only people that can handle each other but I think in another world, that would apply to Dex and Xixi too. It still does, a little. That respect and understanding they have for each other definitely plays a large part in their now platonic relationship and I can only imagine that magnified by 10 if they ended up together.

Anyway this was my super rambly way of saying they would have been great together and have a very big place in my heart still!

And as a treat, here's a little excerpt from the draft where they were together (its a year old, my writing has greatly improved so don't judge my ability off this. thanks!)
