I don’t think I’ll move the upthread posts at this stage because they’re a bit intertwined with each other and it’ll get more confusing, but please could further NPC/NPC romance chat go in this thread?
This is partly from my moderator love of tidiness… But also selfishly wanting to make it easier to find when I want to take a look and have forgotten where it is, as it took some time to track down this related post and subsequent discussion just now and it’s nice for topics to be grouped together for more easily referring to in the future 
There’s also this thread about set/blank slate PCs and another set of links on that subject here for further discussion/reference.
