I'm finally getting around to listing out potential pairings for the rest of the gang. If any of these intrigue you all, please go for them. Let me know which ones you'd like to pursue.
.
Note:
Blue are pairings that are already being pursued
Gold are potential friendship pairings
Red are potential romance pairings
Purple are potential business/equestrian-related pairings
Italics are very tenative pairings
Bold are my most-favored pairings
[Brackets are the potential trope I see it following]
If anyone is colorblind, I apologize. LOL.
.
Aaron x Heidi [i really don't know. i don't know aaron at all. but heidi needs friends outside of hp and brielle so]
Aaron x Sofia x Devyn [potential friend group]
Aaron x Wes [still don't know aaron lol]
Alex x Rena [slow-burn; friends to lovers; similar traumas]
Alex x Evander [confidant]
Alex x Wes x Diego [stuck helping Emily party plan after getting in trouble for various reasons (i'm thinking maybe alex was in the girls dorms after hours consoling or being consoled by rena??), get through it by befriending each other and working together]
Arlette x Sullivan [either better as friends, friends to lovers, or 'we're just friends' idk i want to see this play out]
Arlette x Sofia [shared frustration with another character? idk who yet]
Blair x Sawyer [idk blair well enough to assign a trope to this]
Ceri x Reyes [forced proximity; assigned the same task or locked in a tack room?]
Ceri x Willa [frenemies; i don't know Ceri well enough to make any of these definite]
Conrad x Evander x Laurence x Trina x Sullivan [trainer friendgroup]
Conrad x Cam x Nash x Sawyer [aussie brothers + redneck brothers]
Drew x Ben [best friends/fast friends]
Drew x Brielle x Heidi x HP x Ben [potential friendgroup]
Drew x Sullivan [fast friends (rethought from potential romance)]
Drew x Diego [potential love interest, would take her pursuing him. he's just as jaded as trina. this is one of those friends to lovers, see where it goes types. maybe shared trauma friendship trope. idk drew well enough to know.]
Dublin x Wes x Louis x Ben [friendgroup]
Dublin x Evander [guardian angel type trope]
Dublin x Amara [frenemies? enemies to sibling-type relationship?]
Dublin x Willa [either frenemies or best friends, i can't see an in between. idk how they'll get along]

Louis x Amara [enemies to lovers or enemies to friends. If it's enemies to friends i envision some kind of romantic tension that quickly fizzles out and reduces to a calmer friendship.]
Louis x HP x Max [fast friends]
Olivia x Sullivan [either friends to lovers or just friends. madly in love with the idea of this pairing]
Reginald x Brielle [better as friends? friends to lovers? super slow burn. the whole 'who is gonna say it first' type thing.]

Reginald x Vik [confidant. as in, both rena and vik go to reggie to talk about the same things unbeknownst to one another loooll]
