Howdy Storm!!!
I wanted to say I can definitely see Bruce looking up to Steve with how he's always looking out after the other kids- he definitely would want to be like him if he had a group like that (and he will, eventually, with the batfam). Alfred would definitely commend Steve on being a good leader and parental role to them as well as help give him fighting pointers if he wanted ;---;!!
Also!! I just KNOW Lyra and Dustin would be besties; Lyra would absolutely enjoy learning D&D from him and Dustin would enjoy all the fanciful stories she tells (as well as calling bullshit to watch her smirk 😂).
Lastly, I know Klaus and Moriarty would be insufferably inseparable if they met (especially if Moriarty was also a vampire). They'd be extremely dangerous partners in sabotage and causing unnecessary petty drama, that's for dadgum sure (admiring)!
I hope this finds you in good cheer!!! Know I'd be happy to chat about any of the f/os mentioned here anytime in my ask box✨💙!!

These are all so good, actually! I can see all these interactions actually happening.
Steve with Bruce and Alfred would be such a golden interaction. Bruce would latch onto Steve, wanting to hear all about the antics in Hawkins, and Steve's role in everything. I agree, Bruce would definitely want to be someone like Steve - the leader, looking out for those who follow, and would most definitely implement those tendencies into his time later with the batfam. As far as Steve and Alfred, I know Steve would appreciate the compliments on his relationships with the children, even if most of the time they just drive him nuts. As far as fighting tips, Steve would probably act like he didn't need the advice, but he would hold onto every word and put into use the next time he has need.
So with my baseline knowledge of HDM ( it's on my watchlist, i promise… ) and a troll through the Wiki, these two would be absolute besties within MINUTES. Dustin raises a question about Pantalaimon, or her alethiometer, she questions what the book with the dragon on the front is, and all of a sudden they're talking about their respective interests and swapping crazy stories from their pasts and Dustin's walking Lyra through D&D and creating her own character. And yes, they would call bullshit on each other's stories. She's reach a point where the story gets really weird and he'd just "no, no way. there's no way that happened." but later, he's going on about "no, i'm telling you, it was thirty feet tall and made of goo and we fought it with fireworks!" and Lyra just laughs, calling him out that there's no way his stories are real, the same way he calls out hers. It becomes their own little joke.
Klaus and Moriarty… these two would be the showboat-y, over-dramatic, nonsensical partners in chaos that the world doesn't really need but is definitely going to get. Between Mr. 'I'm Going To Dance While I'm Committing Major Crimes' Moriarty and Mr. 'So You Have Heard Of Me. Fantastic.' Mikaelson would cause chaos and love every moment. ESPECIALLY if Moriarty was a vampire. They would be the best of friends, bonding over a mutual love of chaos and causing drama.
Thank you for the ask!!!!!

If the ROs from TA were able to play Palace of paradise who would they choose to romance?
Haha, that's an interesting crossover. There's less characters in PoP then there are in Triaina, so there's be at least a couple overlaps. Let's see...
----
E: I think they'd pick Kia/n. They're not really familiar with the world they've been thrown into by chance opportunity, but they're earnest and well-meaning. It would mesh well with E's sunny enthusiasm and altruistic stance of people. They would be the general do-gooder team up
R: I think they'd pick the no-nonsense detective Blanc/Blanche. Both are extremely perceptive of the environment and it's inhabitants, though R is more focused on people, and Bl moreso on the environment. I think the chilled personality mixing with a more laid back one can work well. Also it would be fairly ironic, as Bl is a detective, and both of R's paths are criminalized to some degree.
L: I think they would be interested in Avi/Ain. An AI developed for romantic intention and also a possible will and desire of its own would be a major focus of intellectual curiosity for one, and I think the AI's purpose and story would resonate very closely with L's romantic nature.
V: weirdly enough, I think they'd choose Esper/Espera. Honestly, I think V would take every outlandish thing they said completely seriously at face value, and that will get them to unknowingly raise the relationship flags. Idk, the idea of Es talking about their demon eye destroying three separate worlds and V just take it as truth at every fantastical turning point kinda sends me.
P: they would probably choose the roommate Lann/Lanni. They both have a heavy competitive spirit and a lot of repressed emotion, just different ones. Though even given that, P would absolutely squish La like a bug. The setting differences are so drastic that a fight between them would be like Mayweather vs a cripple. So thank God the digital world is able to even the odds a bit, because I don't think P would really be satisfied with anyone in this weak lineup of characters.
M: I think they'd choose Orion/Orain. To be somewhat honest, O was made as something of a parallel to M's flirtatious behavior with a different kind of driver and intent, along with a lack of sleepiness. I attempted to make O with the same kind of slowly drawn flirting dialogue M used. So I think they'd be a good match haha.
Ra: this is a bit of a hard one, since I'm not really sure what they would do if the MC didn't exist. I'll go out on a limb and say they would also choose the detective, for a somewhat similar reason but altogether different purpose. The detective is basically the only individual there with both the means and willingness to be a direct danger to Raven's maligned actions, so I think raven would attempt to get close to manipulate and find out where the detective is to cut out any opposition.
S: I think they'd choose Dayta/Dahta, and it'd be a very interesting pair. Why would arguably the dumbest person in Triaina pair with arguably the most intelligent person of the digital world? Well, the answer is that they're kindred rebellious spirits, and even though S wouldn't have the slightest idea as to what data was doin tinkering around with their hackery mumbo, they definitely understand and relate to the problems they have with authority and in taking more criminal means to undermine them. I think their shared ideology makes them an unlikely but achievable duo
F would probably be so insufferable to the characters of PoP that the AI would be hopelessly lost attempting to promise a suitor for them and the hacker would DDoS and IP ban them from the server. There's a very large reason why Fiore is paid the big bucks, and why she desperately bashes you and F together like a kid playing with action figures in the vain hope you will fall in love and F won't be completely appalled by the idea
Thank ya for the ask! I hope you enjoyed

Mini-fic to get it out of my brain, Ari and Jeremy have a chat at the Holden Wedding reception
Jeremy groaned as Ari took a seat beside him even though he had finally managed to catch a break from "Leon's", torturous egomania. "I still have no idea what your sort gets out of clinging on to people like me and Mr. Personality over there."
Ari snorted as he looked over to what Jeremy thought were much more appropriate friends for the newly minted Holden pair. They all were laughing and energetic, much like he wasn't, but then as Ari's gaze turned to him it felt heavier than expected.
"What sort am I again? Is it stupid or crazy?" There was a nonchalance to the young groom's demeanor that Jeremy could just barely identify as entirely fake. His bright green eyes seemed to shine with a mix of amusement and probably anger, though the low light made it hard to tell.
"You look like you're gonna punch me again if I give the wrong answer to that." Jeremy pointed out with a sigh, he really only sort of remembered earning a fist to the face when they'd met, but since the man'd invited him to his wedding it didn't seem like a grudge Ari still held. 
"I think Cove would divorce me if I started a fight at our wedding. Or Baxter would, after all the work he did to make things perfect." Ari laughed and waved the idea off.
"Your wedding planner will divorce you?" 
"You never know, he's highly skilled in the art of ghosting me.” 
"How does someone ghost the world's clingiest couple?" 
"Mm. Almost, but don't wanna let you dodge that one." Ari smirked and raised a split eyebrow quizzically. The scars the man had as an adult had at first left Jeremy to wonder if fighting was a normal routine for the similarly short and green themed man, but it didn't take long to figure out most were self inflicted. "What sort of people do you think I am Jeremy?"
It was a little frustrating that both Ari and his husband both wanted his opinion on them as if they didn't have far better sources for that information. 
"You're obviously still stupid if you're asking me." Jeremy sighed heavily, but did stop to think when Ari's laugh did nothing to break the expectant stare he had levelled at him. “Insufferably persistent if nothing else."
"People have called me a jackass for many reasons, that's true enough." Somehow Ari's acceptance of the insult was more frustrating than if he'd argued.
"Was one of the reasons also because you do dangerous shit to make people like you?" Jeremy wasn't entirely sure that was a correct judgment, but Ari's embarrassed reaction confirmed it.
"I guess I can't really hold it against Leon for spilling my secrets since we made him spill yours." Ari laughed sheepishly and scratched his chin, there was a slight rasp of stubble against his nails and Jeremy was briefly reminded that he hadn't actually met Ari as a little boy and how little that made a difference.
"Shiloh didn't tell me much of anything about you, really. It's just kind of obvious. If you need validation so much that you're asking me about it you're obviously insecure." That was… harsher than he'd intended it, but it would probably be a blessing to have this conversation end. Unfortunately, Ari only laughed in response.
It was honestly more laughter than brushing off an insult should involve. 
"Most schools don't have clubs for difficult people, you know? And probably most towns have more than 3 kids who live there. Isolated outsiders who… mm. Lack proper socialization? What kind of people do we become?" Ari's laughter trailed off as his gaze drifted to his giant dopey husband. 
"Angry." While Jeremy was probably one of the few people in the aquarium tonight who had been the focus of Ari's temper, he was aware he knew the least about it. Even so, he had a feeling that he might've been one of the few people who Ari had allowed to see that side, even if it was just that he'd managed to push the right buttons at the right time. "And then tired and miserable."
Ari  clicked his tongue and snapped a fingergun in Jeremy's direction, "That we do. And when everyone is determined to only see the good in you when you feel like the core's gone bad?"
It was on the tip of his tongue to protest the association between the two but Jeremy bit down and let himself listen instead of react. He did know how infuriating it could be to have people refuse to acknowledge your own opinion, especially about yourself. "So, you keep me and Fields around to insult you?" he asked dryly.
"Maybe. Maybe I just need honesty from people who don't care so much. Cove and Cliff spend so much time acting like I did them a favour just by existing around them, sometimes I dunno if I'm a Holden now 'cause they want me in the family or if anyone else'd been there they'd be just as grateful…" Ari shrugged, seemingly trying to invalidate the feelings even as he said them.
"I was right the first time. You are an idiot." Jeremy sighed heavily at the sad mix of self-doubt and sentimentality.
"That was my nickname for a while, you know?" Ari grinned wryly without much amusement for this nostalgia trip. 
"Your nickname was Idiot?" Somehow that seemed unlikely even to Jeremy, even kids were more creative with insulting nicknames than that.
"Well, no. Technically it was 'ljit' like with the accent? Some girls I was trying to be friends with gave eachother cute nicknames like 'Boony' or 'Katten' and other animals pronounced slightly wrong, but I was sick the day they decided them and when I got back they didn't want me to have one, and when I got too annoying about it they decided I would be ljit." Ari was fiddling with the cufflinks on his sleeves, seemingly focused on them and not whatever reaction Jeremy might have to the story. "So, I was ljit for about 3 years before junior high started and the girls went to different schools."
"I guess tenacity makes up for a lack of creativity…" Jeremy muttered as the ridiculous nature of the nickname made more sense.
"And then when I was finally free some jerk with a bowlcut and a bad attitude brought it up again." Ari's grin was toothy and mean but somehow in a way that seemed playful instead of angry.
"Sounds like a loser, hope you punched him." Jeremy couldn't help a little smirk growing across his face.
"Yeah, his head was harder than I expected though, it really hurt my hand."
"How unfortunate, hope you learned your lesson."
"Mm. Yup, body blows are the way to go. If you're lucky they puke. If you're unlucky they puke on you."
"Thanks for the advice, I'll take it to heart."
