Those of you who have not yet tied the knot with a permanent companion, what relationship do you hope to see to final fruition in future content?
Personally, I've always had a certain spark for the secular missionary. May she return soon, and may her husband never be found!
Yet at other times I can't help consider the possibility of Chi Lan, the royal fencing instructor. Our every meeting would have the passion of a duel to the death!
Lastly, in my least sane moments, I imagine my boundless curiosity could tempt Virginia from her hellish pursuits, and we could spend eternity uncovering the secrets of the correspondence - or going mad in the effort.
What of you, fellow 'neathers? Who would you choose that is not yet a possibility? Would you see a fierce competitor brought to a dynamic union, such as Orthos? Would you prefer to rekindle an existing romance option such as the curate, the barbed wit, or the acclaimed beauty? Or a hauteur romance with a gentleman or lady of breeding? A scandalous union with the kashmiri princess? Or do you seek something more exotic; something to sate a vice only found in the 'neath - such as a suitor of clay or the affectionate devil? Feducci's vitality has a certain charm as well. Or do your appetites run far beyond the pale - perhaps to an unearthly devotion to a fluke?

I sincerely hope to see the Once-Dashing Smuggler again. He was always so very intriguing.

I rather doubt that death ends your rights or obligations for residents of Fallen London. At most, it puts them on hiatus. In fact, it might be advantageous to spend a year dead for tax reasons.

Additionally rumour has it that the lion's share of those souls was from a theft of The Brass Embasy itself. We are quite certain that this portents nothing ominous for him. Well, nothing unusually ominous anyway.

We don't come across the medical profession terribly often, do we? There's the Itinerant Physician and the Saturnine Physician, the college of surgeons, and Dr Schlomo's experimental talk-therapy, and a few poor-hospitals and such, but we never really get to know any reputable hospitaliers. Perhaps the absence of death has had a polarising effect on the industry?

You mean Scarlet and Nathan, I presume? If not - us too.
As far as people in-game, I'd dearly love to see the Struggling Artist make a reappearance like his model did - not for my own sake, but because he'd stand in much better for my character in our arrangement than any of the currently available options. In terms of both balance and roleplay, it'd be nice to see some Dangerous options, too.

Yana "actually" married their Devious Henchman, Martin. The Master Jewel Thief is just a placeholder.
I'm not seriously suggesting we should be able to marry our pets, but perhaps three or so generic options would be useful for people who want to do something similar.

I am a cold, heartless being of pure logic, so I do not love anything. My current Constant Companion is the Artist's Model, for no other reason than because she gives a Watchful bonus (my stat of choice). I know, I'm horrible. D:
If I had to choose an object of platonic affection, though, I suppose I would choose the Barbed Wit. She was one of my favourite characters -- it was nice to see a fellow intellectual mind in the stuffiness of the Court.

I confess that there will always be a soft spot in my heart for a particular Sardonic Music-Hall Singer. She was my first acquaintance upon my arrival in Fallen London, and always willing to join me in a drink when the pressures of the 'neath become too unbearable. She can also shatter glass with her voice, which is always fun at dinner parties.
Though I also must add that the Wry Functionary can play an absolutely brutal game of cards, probably one of the best players in the 'neath, and the importance of that can not be overstated.

On the Surface I would certainly think about marrying the Honey-sipping Heiress, but Death being what it is down here, who knows when she will actually inherit?
For the time being I'm happy with Natalie... a card-cheating model, isn't that every ma... er, wom... er, yes, isn't that everyone's dream?

There's no shortage of candidates for Constant Companionship among the existing romantic interests of London - Firebrand, Missionary, Smuggler, Wit, Beauty, Heiress... personally, I'm happy with the Artist's Model. As unfitted as Hubris is for matrimony, I suspect that he and the Quiet Deviless would be well-suited. Otherwise... we have bohemians, criminals, and officials; what's left? People of business, of law? An inspector, or accomplished hunter, or even a Tiger Keeper?

I'd be interested in considering a commitment to the Revolutionary, the Smuggler, or the Wry Functionary. I don't know that I would ultimately choose any of them, but I'd like to see the writing FBG produced for any of those romances.
Looking through the connections for possibilities outside existing romances and acquaintances - how about an academic romance? The Semi-semiotic Fellow, or the Consumptive Cryptozoologist? Or one involving a cleric? I don't know that any of the priests or bishops I met are entirely what I would want in a partner, but a romance begun in the gallery of St. Fiacre's has its appeal. I'd also love a backstage romance at Mahogany Hall - the Kashmiri Princess(es) would be fun, though my own vote would go for someone caught up in the mystery of the Glass.
I've also always had a soft spot for his Amused Lordship, though there are plenty of other possibilities for a Society romance. And I certainly wouldn't turn down a nice sailor...

While I am sadly not yet considered a person of importance within society - I can only imagine the invitation got lost in the bat-clouds - I would be quite interested in pursuing, or indeed being pursued by, a deviless. Don't you find our sulphurous cousins... stimulating?

hmm, I think a Surface Runner might make a delicious constant companion. Someone nicely embroiled in the Great Game that rewards you with visions of the surface in exchange for keeping them from incurring a career-ending death.

Indeed! I am personally keeping myself free of constant companionship in the hopes of one day pledging my troth with the Louche Devil. He was so interesting to *cough* tutor. I think he could greatly benefit from more advanced studies...

I vote for the struggling artist. I never had much attachment to the model, but I was quite fond of the artist. And while the occasional tryst with him now is appreciated, it rings a bit flat when he comes round for 'patronage' so frequently without any sort of progress in either his career or our relationship.

Well, we already have gay marriage. As well as squid, Snuffer, Clay and Devil marriage. I can't imagine rat marriage being far off.
Um at least those are humanoid. I mean come on.
It's what is inside that counts. I mean that literally; at least the rat has organs an anatomist could possibly identify!
