Xelzaz: I swear if I have to hear someone sing Ragnar the Red one more time, I am going to kill someone!
Merlyn, a bard: ... *holding her lute intently*
Xelzaz: Don't you dare.
Merlyn: *strumming the notes to Ragnar the Red* Oooooooh-
Lucien and Inigo: There once was a baker named Ragnar the Red who came riding to Whiterun in search of fine breeeaaaad~
Xelzaz: What.
Merlyn: *grinning* and the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade, as he spread thick butter on the rolls he had maaaade..
Xelzaz: That's not even-
Inigo: But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red, when he met the grand baker Matilda who said...
Lucien: Oh you eat and you steal and all our dough you knead! Now I think it's high time that our people you feed!
Merlyn, Inigo, Lucien: And so then came clashing and slashing of steel as the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal!
Merlyn: And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no moooooooore...
Lucien: When his freshly baked bread-
Inigo: Oh his freshly baked bread-
Merlyn: When his freshly baked bread rolled around on the floor!
Xelzaz: ... You know what, I can't even be mad at that. Please never sing the original version ever again.

Remi: Wait a minute! That's the coffee that's always out of stock!
Ldb: Good thing my bag is empty. Stock up?
Remi: Obviously!
Xelzaz: Both of you shush!
Ldb: Rude!
Xelzaz: Aren't we supposed to find Gulum-Ei? Stop getting distracted. We can steal after!
Remi: You ever got the Flin from Brand-Shei yet?
Xelzaz: Not yet, no.
Remi: There's a bunch of cases there *points at stock*
Xelzaz:....I hate you both. Give me a bag.
Ldb: We won't take long... maybe. Hey look a bunch of instruments!
Remi: Why are you so interested in instruments?
Ldb: Wouldn't it be a shame if there was a "sudden shortage" for the bards?
Xelzaz & Remi:...
Ldb: Unless you agree Ragnar the Red is a great song?
Xelzaz: Take them. Don't ever say that again.

Well since you did bring up the topic, how about a ficlet with Miraak and a vamp ldb for the 500 word thing? Do it do it do it I’m giving you your excuse to write it 👀
happy 500 words for 500 follows! meet ragnar. he's a dick. tw for uh. medical? i dont. dont know how to tag this. He licks a bandage. a03
That the Last Dragonborn, Ragnar, is a son of Skyrim swinging his axe for the Stormcloaks is expected. That Ragnar disdains magic and loves the violent murder of dragons is understandable. That Ragnar is the twisted spawn of Bal, and stole Miraak from his prison after tasting a single fleck of Miraak’s dragonblood to watch him hungrily ever since is … not.
“Will you change my bandages?” Miraak asks.
“Of course, brother,” Ragnar says, with a Nordic bearclap to the shoulder that measures Miraak’s strength. He is all too eager to follow Miraak to a back-room, hounding his steps like Miraak is a flushed fox. This is how Ragnar is, all smiles, little tests, half-hidden hungers.
It is exhausting. It is enervating. They dance around it, and Ragnar calls the man he wants to trap in his arms and drink until he’s sweating, dizzy and dry, brother, like they are comrades, instead of two hunters fighting to not become prey.
With a strange hysteria, Miraak bares himself to the hungry gaze of the vampire, the abomination Miraak should kill without question. This goes against every rule of Miraak’s past but, Miraak has seen the dragons, quartering the sky above Ragnar’s lonely residence, the shadows of their wings stirring the treetops.
They know Miraak hides there, in the shadow of Laat-Dovahkiin’s strunmah. The second he steps out, he is dead. Ragnar knows it. Miraak knows it.
Unless, somehow, he can convince Ragnar to defend him. This, injured and weak, is the only bargaining chip he has left. It is the chip Ragnar expects him to play. The dragons fly closer and closer, Ragnar grows impatient. But Miraak is quicker than he, cleverer – and his hands do not shake when they close fists over his sweaty palms, and lets the vampire tend his terrible gut-wound, the last gift of Mora.
He will win this fight. He has to.
Ragnar’s hands are icy when they unwrap his bandages, but his eyes burn. His straw-blond hair tickles Miraak’s stomach when he leans in close, and Miraak reflexively calls magic to his skin. Sparks leap, sting Ragnar’s fingertips when he goes to risk a predatory caress up the exposed bumps of Miraak’s ribs.
He draws back. For now.
When he is done, he takes the bloodied bandage and sucks it to his mouth. Miraak watches the wet shape of his tongue lave the fabric until it darkens with his spit and it strains over his sharp, prominent teeth. For a moment, that terrible stare is blotted out as his eyes fall closed, and Miraak can see the feverish fluttering of the fabric as he pants into it breathlessly, the dark flares of his nostrils seizing the scent of Miraak’s blood.
When Ragnar lowers the bandage, he smiles charmingly. “Waste not,” he says, his blue eyes odd and bright, “Want not, eh, Miraak, brother?”
“Quite,” Miraak replies, licks his dry lips.
The dragons circle lower. Not yet, but soon.
How dreadful, delicious this hunt's end will taste.

The 30 LDB questionnaire
So there was that 30 LDB questions ask meme floating around, and I decided to answer them all for the sake of character building and reference for myself skjfhksdjhf
Questionnaire below!
1. What is their background and backstory?
Signe was born in a small home in the Rift on the 9th of Evening Star, 4E 173, to Ragnar and Freyja, two Nords who abandoned their lives to be with each other and start a family. Ragnar (aka ‘Ragnar the Berserkir’) was an infamous mercenary in Skyrim, who would be hired through out the land and even some places beyond for his battle prowness and seemingly inability to fucking die. Freyja was an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood, an archer/mage type who was going to be chosen as the next Listener until she dropped all connections after meeting Ragnar.
She was raised a warrior and avid hunter by her father, and a novice mage and singer by her mother. Unfortunately, at the age of 6, a fire engulfed her home one night after sneaking out to climb trees. It killed both her parents and left a nasty scar on her face after some debris sliced it while trying to free the two. Signe was taken to Honorhall, where she was bullied most of the time by other kids and of course Grelod, some accusing her of starting the fire - even though she swears it was a dragon that had started it. They say grief can make a child believe many things.
At age 17, with only a few more months to go before getting kicked out of the orphanage, she encounters Brynjolf. He’s a few years older than her, and is on his own mission to prove that he’s a valuable asset to the Guild at such an age. She assists him in his little heist, and runs away to join the Guild.
At age 28, after a small mistake during a heist near the border to Cyrodiil, she attempts to cross the border to escape being caught. Of course this doesn’t work, and thus brings us to the events of the game!
2. What “class” do they follow (i.e. warrior, archer, mage, thief, etc.)?
She’s a warrior, archer, and thief! 
3. How do they feel about being Dragonborn- does the identity feel right for them and did they embrace it immediately? Do they consider themselves a true dragon?
At first, Signe took to it slowly, still rattled from the suddenness of it all. First Helgen, then needing to tell the Jarl, then fighting a dragon and absorbing its soul, then being yelled at by four old men at the top of a mountain, and being thrown into quests here and there for so many reasons. She takes to it easily and enjoys the bouts of praise here and there during the events of Dawnguard, but it’s not until after defeating Alduin that she realized how much of a toll it takes on her mentally. While the authority is nice, she’s still too humble to go about bragging about it to those who don’t know her off the bat. She wished she could have earned her reputation like her father, rather than becoming a legend overnight. 
4. At present, how are they perceived by the people of Skyrim? By the general population, and by different factions?
By the general public, she’s of course seen as a hero, but a hero that causes a little too much damage for what’s needed. Not to mention she’s chaotic, loud, disrespectful, sleeps around, and takes no shit. But they know she’s necessary.
She’s a constant contract by the Dark Brotherhood and Morag Tong, competition to fractions like the Comonna Tong and Summerset Shadows, and always pressured into joining the Companions. (She would, but they don’t offer a big enough thrill for her- not to mention the whole werewolf thing)  
5. How were they perceived before their Dragonborn identity became widely known?
She was a Thieves Guild member and Nightingale, so within the ranks she was looked up to and respected. Outside of the ratways, though, she was just any other Nord citizen; only few knew of her amorous adventures though, as she makes sure it’s kept under wraps.
6. How are they perceived by the major villains- Alduin, Harkon, Miraak, etc.?
Alduin: He sees her as he sees the LDB in game; an obstacle and threat he needs to eradicate.
Harkon: An asset that immediately turns into a threat when she refuses to help them.
Miraak: Similar to Alduin, but grows more and more frustrated with how skilled she is in her young, young age. 
7. How much do they utilize the power of Thu'um? Do they actively try to expand their inborn abilities through research and exploration? Or are they less invested?
Signe uses Aura Whisper like how we need to breathe to live. She uses it to see where she should either avoid or take caution of, as well as alert her followers where enemies may be! It helps for when she’s looting too, as she need to plan how to knock them out first. Signe doesn’t like to kill innocent folk. As for others, she uses Unrelenting Force mainly when she’s annoyed by something in her way, Dragon Aspect when the enemy is insanely powerful, and Storm Call when she needs a distraction! The Thu’um is useful, but she’s not heavily invested in it, until way later on in her journey after the events of Dragonborn.
8. If they were to invent a shout, what shout would they create? Bonus if you can come up with the words of the shout in dragon language.
It works similar or such to Dragon Aspect, but could like, literally turn you into a dragon for a short time. I thought since the DB has the blood and soul of a dragon, then with some effort surely they can call forth their soul to turn their flesh to match, right?
It would be a Shout containing some from of these words: Ofan (Bestow), Dov (Dragon), Slen (Flesh), Sil (Soul), Rii (Essence), Gron (Bind); I haven’t found an order that really ‘rings’ yet. 
Otherwise, it would be the name given to their dragon soul, like how you call to Odahviing. In Signe’s case, it would be ‘Volzaannir’: Vol (Horror), Zaan (Shout [as in yell, shriek, etc.]), and Nir (Hunt). All three words are reference to a barn owl, which is her pet/familiar, since they’re known for their horrific shrieking and astounding hunting skills.
9. Whether they are magical or not- if they were to invent a spell for their own uses, that does not already exist in Skyrim, what kind of spell would they come up with?
Conjure dragon familiar! A spectral dragon will appear to fight for you for 90 - 300 seconds.
10. Which factions are they aligned with? Including civil war sides, Thalmor, guilds etc.
Thieves Guild, Dawnguard (not active), and TECHNICALLY the Imperials even though she considers herself a neutral force who just wants this shit to end.
11. If they had a pet or magical familiar as in ESO (excluding the dogs in Skyrim) what creature would it be?
She actually already has one! It’s a barn owl named Hyl (Danish for ‘shriek’).
12. Which standing stone have they used for the longest and why?
Thief stone, since it levels up sneak and such easily. 
13. Dungeon delving- are they a fan? Do they do it for fun, or money, or just because of circumstance? Do they prefer Dwemer or Nordic ruins?
Signe did it in the past for the loot, and still kinda does, though after becoming Dragonborn it’s kinda become her daily tasks lmao. She’s more familiar with Nordic ruins, but Dwemer ruins are unique and fun to explore.
14. What is their personal favorite place in Skyrim- a town, hold, home, dungeon, or just a natural spot they happen to have a fondness for?
One is an area just above the Twilight Sepulcher, where you go to defeat the Guardian Bear in Kyne’s Sacred Trials; there’s a fairy ring and a shrine to Akatosh here, as well as a beautiful view!
Tumblr media
Another one is where I also envision her old home being, before it was burnt down, as there are remains of a possible building there. It’s a little Northeast of Ivarstead, on top of a hill where you would meet a Whispmother.
Tumblr media
15. What is their personal LEAST favorite place in Skyrim- somewhere that annoys them, or comes with bad memories, or otherwise?
Windhelm. It’s a beautiful city, of course, but the PEOPLE…. They’re just so awful and rude (Not including the Grey Quarter). Every time she’s there she always finds herself getting into a fistfight with some racist Nord asshole.
16. Where did they choose to live and what drew them there? Does it really feel like home?
She chooses to settle in Lakeview Manor, as it’s close to Riverwood - one of the only places Teldryn finds habitable, and she can agree. Although, she always finds herself missing the beautiful golden and red birch of the Rift. If she could have one of the homes from ESO in the Rift, she’d absolutely choose one of those. 
17. What’s their style- do they tend to wear armor and if so, what sort? Otherwise what’s their average day-to-day clothing?
Signe’s armor is an alteration of Nordic carved steel mixed with dragon scales/bones, and has a variety of rune engravings and patterns befitting a walking prophecy. Before being Dragonborn, she normally wore the usual Thieves Guild attire, or her Nightingale uniform. Her day to day wear is typically a comfy fitting tunic and pants with well worn boots, and her sleepwear is similar to a miner shirt, but longer and only the shirt.
18. Your Dragonborn is now an actual dragon- what do they look like? Do they possess any unique features or abilities?
OHHH YES I WAS HOPING FOR THIS KIND OF QUESTION.
Signe actually has a dragon form! But she doesn’t harness it till way later in the game, after all the main quests. Her Dragon Aspect form reflects some of it, however.
Her dragon form is called Volzaannir [see question 8 for details], and she’s what I would call a Crested Dragon; a dragon that is partially feathers, the end of their muzzle is beaked, and is a tad thinner to allow more fluid aerodynamics. She utilizes shouts that call upon more natural forces, or invoke fear/frenzy, or conjure a variety of types of thralls. (Storm Call is a common one, Animal Allegiance, Cyclone, Dismay, Drain Vitality, Marked for Death, Soul Tear, and sometimes Frost Breath if fighting head-on).
19. Which NPC have they killed and regretted it?
Signe doesn’t like to kill, at all. It stems far before she even joined the Thieve’s Guild, and was thankful that they valued that rule as well. But, just because she doesn’t like to, doesn’t mean she won’t; she has to survive after all, and that means killing when justified. 
She hasn’t regretted any of her intentional kills; however, she does mourn the loss of lives when they have become collateral damage. After a dragon attack, or rescuing travelers being attacked by bears, anything like that, there’s always lives she could not save in the pursuit of rescue. She often times feels survivors guilt - terribly so after Helgen, especially.
20. Which NPC have they killed and absolutely NOT regretted it (excluding the major villains)?
Ulfric and Mercer Frey.
Mercer was the first person she ever intentionally killed, driven near mad at the hurt from his betrayal. She squeezed his throat and held him under the water of Irkngthand, effectively drowning him slowly, eyes locked on his water-distorted face. The pure bloodlust she felt frightened her afterward, leaving her shaken and vowing to keep whatever that was under check.
She did not personally kill Ulfric, but she was the one who decided his fate in the end. When the Civil War is won, she summons Ulfric to death by Blood Eagle, and remains face-to-face with him until he dies - making sure her disappointment is the last thing he ever sees.
21. Do they worship any of the Divines, and if so, which do they have the strongest affinity for?
Kyne and Akatosh! (Or any name they go by in each culture). She mainly worships Kyne, feeling the strongest connection to her through culture, history, and soul.
22. Which Daedric Prince(s) do they end up most aligned to, if any? Which artifacts do they own and which do they actively make use of?
She aligns to Nocturnal majorly, thanks to being a Nightingale, and finds her to be surprisingly well-tempered and benevolent sometimes. Signe also finds herself more familiar with Azura, thanks to traveling with Teldryn most of the time - but she holds no judgement, and encourages worship if it brings others comfort or clearance.
While Nocturnal’s artifact, the Skeleton Key, is in its rightful place, she still holds the powers of Nocturnal’s Agents; typically switching between the Agent of Shadow and Subterfuge. 
23. Which non-Daedric artifacts/magical items do they make regular use of?
A Stahlrim bow, dragonbone arrows, dragonbone swords (dual wield, one has electrical damage and the other traps souls), and two Stahlrim daggers affectionately named Frostbite (frost damage) and Freezer Burn (fire damage).
24. How did they respond to Miraak and what do they feel about him? Do they regret killing him? Did they spare him?
She saw Miraak as a threat at first, obviously, but there is of course that melancholy feeling of wishing he wasn’t so power-obsessed… He is the only other Dragonborn she (or anyone, in the 4th Era) has ever met, and he could have helped her in her quests, in defeating Alduin, in teaching her how to live with these powers and their consequences - being a mentor. Signe had planned on sparing him, attempting to convince him to escape Apocrypha with her, to live a new life on Nirn… But in battle, when his mask falls off, she finally gets a solid glimpse at his soul through his eyes, and realizes his mind is too far gone to save. Too tortured, too desperate, too power-hungry. Death is the kindest thing she could give him, while still keeping Nirn safe.
25. Which of the Dragon Priest masks do they favor and wear the most? If the answer is Konahrik, pick the second favorite too.
Signe doesn’t wear the masks, as she feels there’s too much evil floating around in them, no matter how fuckin’ cool they look. She’s not against the Dragon Priests themselves, just that the history and power held within the specific masks makes her anxious and uncomfortable. If she were to create her own (and she does), then she would wear it.
26. Which follower(s) would they never go anywhere without? On a personal level, what is their relationship with the follower(s) in question like and why do they stick with them?
TELDRYN. SERO. He’s her partner in crime, the only one brave enough to be her damage control, and who's always been at her side at the worst of times… and still willingly chooses to be. Signe met him when she was delivering a letter to Glover from Delvin (well before the main quest, but after Dawnguard), and decided to rest a bit in the Retching Netch overnight before heading back to Skyrim. His stupid charm and humor was enough to convince her to let him tag along, and she’ll never regret it.
Not only does she find out later on that he used to be good - if not best - friends with her father, the two of them being infamous mercenaries for hire in their respective countries. They slowly fall in love, cliche I know, but trust me - after the shit they’ve been through and bond over, how could they not?
27. If your Dragonborn were an in-game boss fight, what would their lair be like? What enemies would help them in the fight (if any) and what quest might lead to another hero having to fight them?
Ohhhohohoo boy, this one’s a fun one. 
First off, her lair would be similar to ruins like Skuldafn, or the Blades headquarters, somewhere difficult to get to and holding this ancient aesthetic to it. Either that, or her very own plane of Oblivion, a pocket containing a strange mix of both Apocrypha, the Evergloom, and the Quagmire. A place of knowledge and wisdom and history that still holds unimaginable terror and secrets and madness. 
What could lead to battling her perhaps is due to how she devotes her life after the events of Skyrim; seeking to bring forth her dragon blood and soul forth to not only give her a dragon form, but extend her life as well, as she has an underlying fear of death. If she cannot go to Sovngarde and be with her parents due to her soul being promised to Daedric Princes, then the afterlife is not something she looks forward to. However, she did not anticipate the toll an extended life would take on her human mind. Perhaps Teldryn and Ondolemar passed away somehow and she can’t bring herself to take another lover, she can’t make friends because she knows she’ll see them die too, and dragon companions to not hold the same kind of compassion or humor or affection her fellow mortals could. 
She becomes reckless, often times falling into episodes of paranoia and madness, and people have noticed. Some worship her like the Dragon Priests in ancient times, but the others fear what she may be capable of. Signe may have holed herself away in that lair of hers, but the public still fears her power, and knows she was not meant to live as long as she has. Soldiers and mages and wizards and heroes alike are sent to grant her death, but are never successful, as her insanity and fear has brought her to sending dragons of all kinds after anyone who dares try and approach her with malice-intent. If your aura holds no hostility, however, you could be lucky and hold a conversation with a possible demi-god such as her; beware, as her dragons watch over your every move from the stone arcs and towers above.
She is the Last Dragonborn, and you WILL show her respect, even if it means getting on your knees and praying to her as if she were a god. And perhaps she is.
28. What are their greatest assets, both in terms of in-game skills and otherwise? What gave them the upper hand that allowed them to defeat Alduin?
Archery, dual-wielding, sneak, lock-picking, pick-pocketing, charisma/speech, and smithing have been the most helpful throughout her life thus far. As for defeating Alduin and Miraak and Harkon, though, it would have to be her resilience and determination to protect the life amongst Nirn. Without such personal strength and wit, she would have given up for sure.
29. What do they do post-Skyrim, once all the main quests are finished? What happens to them in the aftermath?
It’s tough for Signe to come to terms with the thought that technically, everything is over. The journey’s have made her an adrenaline junky, they’ve brought new nightmares, and there are fractions up the wazoo who still want her dead despite doing nothing to harm them. The Black Books and Herma Mora haunting her have caused her to act relatively ‘insane’ at some points; she’s gained too much of a reputation as a hero to really return to her Nightingale days; and being a mercenary isn't up her alley. 
Her overall dream in life was to just settle in a cottage somewhere in the Rift and carve wood and bones for a living, take up smithing and open an armor and weapons shop called “Helm of Awe”. But of course after having her life altered so intensely in such a short time, it’s taken its toll on her, and left her too restless to fully settle down. 
So, she takes her band of Merry Mer (Teldryn and Ondolemar lmao) and they travel all over, looting burrows and taking high-risk jobs. 
She also takes up researching and meditating on Words of Power, aiming to create a Shout that allows her to harness the entirety of her dragon soul - all the way to flesh. Signe also looks into ways to bring her dragon blood and soul more forward, less buried in her spirit, to lengthen her life more; purely for the sake of her Mer lovers, though there’s an underlying fear there too. [See question 27]
30. Are they proud of themselves? Do they see themselves as a hero?
She is proud, deep down, because she knows in the end it’s for the betterment and safety of the world. A hero? Absolutely. Signe may be humble in the present about her position, but not even the kindest person on Nirn could pass up the chance to brag about saving the world thrice over.
VERY IMPORTANT BONUS QUESTION: In their opinion, who is the best dog in all Skyrim?
MEEKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoops, my hand slipped and I made a reference sheet for my LDB character Saoirse’s sons (and their wives)
I’ve invested far too much time into these two boy-o’s and I have no regrets okay?
If they barely look related, save for the skin tone and eye color, then good, that’s what I’m going for :’D
Ragnar is my little charming-but-questionable robin hood type that steals from...well everyone and takes after his father and mother far too much for his own good. Debonair, cunning, street-smart and a temper as fiery as his hair might well suggest, he is a formidable fighter that excels in dual handed war axe combat and stealth. He might be the oldest but he’s the shortest and I think that’s adorable. He is a ladies man, but falls far a sweet, timid little Breton lass by the name of Babette after picking at her whenever they ran into each other while he was in Riften with his Father doing guild business. She dies though after having their daughter in a “mysterious accident” that Maven Black-Briar totally didn’t have a hand in (coughs). He’s not a happy camper and almost loses his shit but his father (Brynjolf if the hair wasn’t a give away) talks him down. Saoirse on the other hand manages to passively confront Maven about it but ends up back into a corner after she threatens to reveal her connection to the Theives Guild and to stop supporting the guild unless Ragnar marries her Grand-daughter, Sille. He ends up marrying her, but begrudgingly so, only to keep his mother and father (and his guild) safe. Sille and him have a rocky start and he practically ignores her, save for arguing. She’s too smart and cunning for her own good, too, but eventually they warm up to each other after he teaches her to fight so she can “grow a pair and be less of a puppet for Maven.” She ends up dropping her pride and disdain and learns to fight from him and joins the guild, too, eventually. It’s a real rocky climb to respect and eventual mutual feelings type of relationship. 
Bjorn, despite being an accident as far as being born goes, is the BEST boy. He takes after his father (Farkas) very much in most departments. He’s a bit on the quiet side but isn’t shy. He’s the youngest of the brothers but is the tallest. He takes an interest in Smithing and while both boys grew up at Jorravskr, tended to find himself with Eorlund more often than not. He can fight, don’t misunderstand, but he would prefer to make weapons as opposed to using them. When his brother runs off to “find himself” when he turned 17, Bjorn was suddenly left to his own devices and in that time managed to challenge his Uncle Vilkas and actually earn a spot in the Companions rather than just being “born into it”. He’s a rather simple man, in stark contrast to his brother and eventually takes on an intern like position under Eorlund at the Skyforge. While his brother is out doing gods know what in his soul searching, Bjorn in content with Whiterun and the mead hall, even finding himself a little girlfriend and eventual wife in the form of a redguard sellsword that makes her way into the ranks of a whelp in the guild. They’re real cute and she’s a lot more fiesty than he is so despite him being rather large and intimidating looking, he’s a ball of fluff that gives good hugs and Salma, his wife, is small and fiesty. He’s often seen bear hugging her from behind to keep her from running off and fighting everything. It’s real cute, honestly. They end up having like five kids and Saoirse gives him the Falkreath farm she got after becoming thane when he was younger to help house all the children. He’s a momma’s boy that likes mead and knocking his brother down a few pegs with well intended but snarky one-liners whenever the older brother gets too full of himself. 
Both have great hair.

It's not quite pride month, but I really really wanted to draw these two together!
I've said in the tags of posts about them that they're in a queerplatonic relationship, but I don't think I've ever said it in the post itself, so here!
Really, that's the label I apply to them, because they don't really put any sort of labels on their relationship in canon. They're best friends and committed to one another, but they're not dating; they're each other's most important person, beyond any kind of label :)
