Re: Tell me a romantic story.
We met on a fic mailing list over ten years ago, and gradually got to know each other better, eventually hanging out together on IRC, then joining an RPG as a pairing we shipped like FedEx. Back in 2004, she decided to fly out for Anime Central, which is relatively near to me and often falls on my birthday, so I always think of it as my big birthday party. Except that a few days before the con, one of my bunnies died, and I was so devastated that I wasn't sure I wanted to go anymore. She told me that if I didn't, she'd just get train tickets from Chicago to my town and come visit me, because I was the only reason she was flying out there.
I didn't want her to go to all that trouble, so I decided to go to the con after all... and while I was frequently wibbly about my bunny, she looked out for me and steered me away from stupid drama and upsetting things, and made me laugh, and we stayed up until 4am sitting in the hallway outside the hotel rooms on an upper level and just laughing our heads off while discussing fandom stuff. (My userpic is actually a picture taken that weekend of us cosplaying the pairing we'd been RPing. :D) People who saw us thought we were actually already a couple, but that didn't happen until a couple months later. Now we're engaged, and registered as domestic partners since my state doesn't allow same-sex marriage.
But the really sweet, romantic, and almost sort of eerie part?
Back around the time we met, she was dating someone else. It was an open relationship, though, and she had made a comment to him about how she thought I was really interesting, and she wanted to get to know me better, but she figured it would end in heartbreak because she was almost positive she'd wind up falling for me.
