Aidan and Zho first met possibly in Kaineng Center, standing just within earshot of each other. There was no evidence of them interacting then and they went on separate ways later on, one off to befriend the Luxons and the other the Kurzicks.

A few years later, however, on our trips to various lands with tall folks who think we’re tiny, tiny folks who think we’re smelly, and smelly folks who are usually our enemies, Aidan and Zho got closer.

And closer.

And even closer.

I'm starting to feel like a third wheel...

And then? When we finally saved the world from the Great Destroyer, Aidan and Zho decided to break up stand in separate groups outside their aggro bubbles, as if they never knew each other.

When asked, Aidan said:

I have trekked down many paths. I am glad to have had you by my side on so many of those journeys.

Me? Aidan! What have I ever done for you? No, no, no. What have I ever done with you? I’ve never even had you in a party by choice! What about Zho, Aidan? What about Zho?!

That day, the rare romantic fangirl in me died.

The closest Aidan/Zho fan effort I’ve found so far is this YouTube video: Guild Wars – from Ascalon. This unofficial GW wiki discussion thread also cracked me up. But fellow Guild Wars players, do we not know how to write porn fanfiction?

ArenaNet, there’d better be Aidan/Zho offspring or descendants in Guild Wars 2, or I’ll… cry!

In other news, I should be studying for tomorrow’s exam.

I also fail at memes.
