Welcome to the 30 day challenge of May, which sees a return to two of the most iconic things in pop culture, to say nothing of Science Fiction, namely Star Trek and Star Wars. Throughout this month some prompts will be general and apply to both franchises, while others will be Trek/Wars specific, as indicated.

Today we’re doing a joint prompt for both franchises and talking about the field of Romance. Across their various books/games/shows/movies, what are the best romantic couples from each, and how good are they at handling romance at all? Who’s better?

Bonus prompt: What characters should’ve been a couple, but weren’t? And what actually good pairings should’ve stuck but didn’t?

Extra Bonus prompt: Whats the worst/most forced/least-chemistry-having actual pairings?

Kelvin Legends Bonus prompt: What’s the most romantic Trek/ Wars scene?
