If you're just here for the funny, though, sure! Why not! Chuck randoms at me and see what happens.

Ah, gotcha. Could you list the pairings that you ship? I know Eloise/Tom, Oversteegen/Abigail, Estelle/Augustus Higgins/everyone + Andrea, and Mike/Lester are the main ones but what secondary pairings do you like?

Amaroq! I'm shocked! You are a graduate of the "Cupid" thread.

I listed all the main ones. I believe at one time or another Rose has explained why she ships them. The secondary ones are a little fuzzier and are also ones that she might not have written about extensively.

OIC.

Rose, I'm also interested in "who with Henke?," and why. I think you mentioned Tourville once. But a cigar smoking man under Michelle's silky satin sheets doesn't seem to sail.

What do you think about a romance between Michelle Henke and Lester Tourville. I'm in favour of it because I can see the potential for a grand romance between the two of them.I think that Lester with his cowboy personality would be a good match for Michelle.
Their two star nations have been at war until the grand alliance was formed.They are both admirals in their star nations navy . Michelle is a member of the royal family. Elizabeth Winton is her cousin and she blames Haven for the death of her father.These facts would help add interest and drama to their romance if it did develop. Another reason I would like like to see Michelle in a romantic relationship is that I would like to see how Dicey would react.Dicey is a large scarred doughnut stealing maine coon cat who believes Michelle belongs to him. Dicey also owns Chris Billingsley, Michelle's steward.
What do you think about Lester & Michelle could they become romantically involved? Whould they quarrel with each other if they met again? They have met at a dinner party while Michelle was a prisoner of war of Haven. How do you think Dicey would react? Would he be jealous of Lester or would he decide that Lester belongs to him to?

Lester and Michelle is, believe it or not, a pairing I didn't even think about until someone else (I can't remember who - but it might have been you!) suggested it on this board, but as soon as I did I instantly fell in love with it.

They're both total cowboy types, utterly devoted to their duty, with dry senses of humor and an inner child that loves to come out to play. Personally, I think they'd get along like a house on fire. They're so similar in so many ways - both sarcastic and jokey, but utterly serious when the time comes to get down to business.

And talk about a seal on the Grand Alliance! Haven's most senior naval commander marrying the Queen's first cousin, Tenth Fleet's commander and Honor Harrington's best friend? Talk about powerful symbols! I can already see Elizabeth and Eloise licking their chops.

And I think Dicey would love Lester - because he'd have the sense to bring an extra doughnut!

TL;DR basically I think it's perfect and needs to happen.

The Ones I Really Love:

* Estelle Matsuko/Augustus Khumalo

* Lester Tourville/Michelle Henke
* Sonja Hemphill/Shannon Foraker
* Allen Higgins/Eternal Happiness

The Interesting Possibilities

* Michael Oversteegen/Michelle Henke
* Abigail Hearns/Warner Caslet
* Thomas Theisman/Eloise Pritchart
* Thomas Theisman/Michelle Henke
* Allen Higgins/Molly DeLaney
* Warner Caslet/Andrea Jaruwalski

I've probably forgotten a few, but that's about all the ones I can round up for now.

So I thought I'd provide a place for you to ask.

Pick a pairing, any pairing. Ask why I support it. Ask why I don't. Ask if I'm crazy, with the forewarning that the answer is probably 'yes'.

Please. Proceed to take shameless advantage of my romance-infected brain.

Well, While I would nt say you are on crack, I would say you are overwhelmed with romantic tendacies. Nothing wrong with that, I am too! They just get wasted on air in my case. At least you found a good outlet for them, hope you can elsewhere too.
I think Henke and Tourville would make a decent pairring, but I doubt either of them would ever consider it.

Thanks for the list, Rose. I see some interesting ones in there. I chuckled a bit at some. Eloise/Elizabeth stands out. Perhaps they could make some sort of arrangement similar to the Alexander-Harringtons?

Don't forget Gwen Archer and Helga Boltitz. She's attractive with beautiful blue eyes. He's got flaming red hair with green eyes. There are dark-skinned blondes, and dark-skinned redheads in the Honorverse. These two will probably produce something exotic even for the Honorverse. A flaming redheaded darkskinned orange eyed cutting accent of a female spitfire.

Orange-eyed? Where is that coming from? Lol.
