Identity V: The Silent Negative

Whether your favorite pairing is popular, moderately popular, or niche, there’s something for everyone here. Since we’re all here to enjoy our own pairings, let’s not argue over what’s in someone else’s bowl. (That means keeping to your own corner and enjoying what you like. Respect goes both ways.) The story is divided into arcs, with each arc set in a different world. Before each new world begins, I’ll list the pairings that will appear. If any of them are a hard no for you, skip that arc. Please don’t use terms like “trash,” and don’t pretend to be fans just to bash characters. The author has no favorites. Any unusual settings will be flagged in advance. : Bitter Love Pairings: Lawyer/Novelist, Nightmare/Novelist, Gamekeeper/Dancer, Patient/Psychologist, Gardener/Doctor, Jack/Mercenary, Hermit/Prisoner, Feaster/Acrobat, Entomologist/Prospector, Composer/Opera Singer, Knight/Grave Keeper, Forward/Machinist, Antiquarian/Novelist, Puppeteer/Antiquarian, Wu Chang/First Officer, Night Watch/Weeping Clown : Queen Pairings: Novelist/Gardener, Gardener/Doctor, Jack/Gardener (love triangle), Night Watch/Grave Keeper, Sculptor/Novelist, Hell Ember/Puppeteer, Mercenary/Seer, Painter/Composer, Batter/Toy Merchant, Photographer/Grave Keeper, Prospector/Acrobat, Hermit/Ann, Novelist/Nightmare, Dream Witch/Priestess, Gamekeeper/Lucky Guy, Night Watch/Prisoner, Perfumer/Grave Keeper, Geisha/Mind’s Eye, Disciple/Novelist (only at the end) “Sin and Love Sing Together” (revised, with a Werewolf game plot) Pairings: Adventurer/Mind’s Eye, Wax Artist/Grave Keeper, Wu Chang/Grave Keeper, Lawyer/Coordinator, Soul Weaver/Machinist, Cowboy/Enchantress, Acrobat/Wildling, Embalmer/Postman, Forward/Toy Merchant, Bloody Queen/Composer, double Jack, Pudding, Little Girl/Coordinator, Seer/Autumn, Painter/Perfumer, Trickster, Reptilian/Prospector, Puppeteer/Clerk, Nightmare/Novelist, Prisoner/Hermit
