Madeleine and Amor Silver are two characters I write with a lot.  Funny that I don't mention them as much as Colleen and Lale, even though they get much more coverage than Lale does on a regular basis.

I think Silver drowns a lot in sorrow that a lot of people don't think about.  I mean, all the time when I write him, he's always got such bravado.  Swears like a sailor and punches like Captain Falcon.  It's no wonder that confused and listless Madeleine, what with her identity crises and lack of ideologies, is attracted to him no matter how abrasive he is.  She's probably the only person in the entire Ensemble who is able to pull him away from those kind of sorrows.

I mean, I imagine them with anybody else and it just doesn't work.  Like, they're both as straight as an arrow, so their only options are the other Ensemble characters of the opposite sex.  Colleen would be awesome for Silver, finely tuned to him like an instrument to a musician, but he has nothing to offer her, and he's to blockheaded to realize the kind of love she needs.  I love Leen too much to put her through that.  And Skye?  Holy fuck I don't want the world to end, their relationship would bring upon the apocalypse.

Madeleine would die if she followed Lale.  She's much too timid, and would eventually shrink from him.  Aidan is so much weaker than her... put two subs in a room, and what do you get?  Well, they would get nowhere fast.  Valor I've considered and the three of them would be amazing in some kind of threesome but Valor loves Silver, and I don't think Madeleine can understand that kind of deep brotherly devotion that Val has for him, and it would probably even make her jealous.  If Yoshua was older... well, even then, it kind of wouldn't work.  Older Yoshua is lofty and idealistic and much too quick for Madeleine to keep up with.

Which is why I think Maddie and Silver are like... my beta OTP.  Madeleine never quite knows who she is--she's totally oblivious to her obviously heroic, naive, and kind-hearted personality because she perceives herself as bland.  Silver knocks sense into her.  And Silver is one-track minded, proud, yappy, and Madeleine takes that as charm.  The fact that she laughs at his antics, accepts him, and still loves him at the end of the day is all he needs to settle down for her.

Wow tl;dr.  I should write snippets of these two and slip em up here.
