Fictional Setup

We are actually not big on celebrating Valentine's Day (though we do love eating candy!), but we thought we'd have a little fun today by choosing book boyfriends for each other. Ally went all out for this post by drawing all three couples, which we now present:


Ally & Ronan Lynch

Written by Melissa

Lee and I decided to pair Allison up with Ronan Lynch from The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater as her book boyfriend. Now, if you've read the The Dream Thieves, you know that wouldn't really work out, but luckily enough he's fictional, so it wouldn't work out anyway. :P

Allison and Ronan are perfect for each other! They like to be all cool and tough. But, we all know they have soft spots. Ronan for his pet raven, Chainsaw, and Ally for our dog, Tyler. They would have a ton of fun being mean to people and doing thrill seeking deeds, like street racing and paragliding and stuff. You're welcome, Allison. Enjoy your fictional relationship!

Melissa & Peeta Mellark

Written by Lee

Ally and I think Peeta, from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, would be the perfect fictional boyfriend for Melissa. First, she loves him. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. They're very compatible personality-wise, too, and they're both artistically talented. Plus, Peeta has an aptitude for baking, and Melissa loves baked goods of every sort: bread, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, etc. So really, these two are just destined for each other.

Lee & Fitzwilliam Darcy

Written by Ally

I am scarily good when it comes to figuring out who belongs with whom, in the relationship sense. If Lee could have a fictional boyfriend, I believe the best match for her would be Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. They are just inevitably perfect for each other. Lee loves British accents; Darcy has a British accent. Lee loves sarcastic gentlemen; Darcy is one the most sarcastic, rude gentlemen in the fictional sphere. Lee would prefer a man with money and an estate in the English countryside, and what do you know, Darcy has both of those things. The fact that Darcy and Lee are both full-grown adults doesn't hurt their compatibility, either. In all seriousness though, Lee would make a great Mrs. Darcy. She and Fitzwilliam have the same temperament. They'll both be able to give each other the time and space that they would need. They'd also have to be able to accept each other's family. Lee would have to be able to accept Georgiana, and Darcy would have to be able to accept us (meaning me, Melissa, etc.) We'd also have to approve of Fitzwilliam too, which we definitely would.

Do you have a special fictional someone? Please feel free to share in the comments!

  1. You are such a fancy pants, Lee! Although I do approve of your choice.

    Ronan, sigh, my 16yo counterpart is sighing right now, but it's been two decades since I was 16 so we're good on that front, Ally... Peeta, no contest here, Melissa, I'm team Gale!

    Happy V-Day girls!

  2. These are actually adorable!!! I don't even know if these drawings can get any cuter! Sigh, Peeta. I would love to have that boy as my Valentine. Baked goods - who can say no? And Darcy. Swoon.

  3. Ha! I love this so much. The pictures are fantastic. I only know Peeta and Darcy, but the reasons they all make a great match are hilarious. I would definitely need a Darcy too since I'm too old for Peeta, but he would make a great fictional boyfriend for anyone. Plus, are there those that don't swoon for Darcy? Say it isn't so. I'm watching P&P right now LOL. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

    1. Awesome timing, lol! I need to rewatch the Colin Firth version of P & P; it's been wayyyy too long since I last saw it. I most definitely swoon for Mr. Darcy, even when he's being rude because he's still sort of gentlemanly about it. I blame the accent! :D

  4. I'm not much for celebrating Valentine's either and thankfully neither is the bf but I thoroughly enjoyed this post hahah!! Choosing book boyfriends is definitely something fun so good idea to you girls :D I also adore that you took turns writing the section for the others ♥ I still need to read Raven boys but I have a feeling I'll appreciate Ally set up even more after the fact ;-) I can definitely relate to Melissa's love for Peeta though - he's ADORABLE. Plus baking? Win. And I can totally see Lee & Mr Darcy together!! I mean, who doesn't love a sarcastic Brit?! Lovely post ladies xx

    1. We had a great time writing for each other, and we need to find a reason to do it more often. Ally and Melissa chose perfectly for me; they know me so well! And I cannot WAIT to see what you think of The Raven Boys!!! It's the book that I try to get everyone to read (just recommended it to my best friend, in fact) because I love it with all my heart.
