Because sometimes my stories go off in directions I didn't mean. Hell, I didn't plan for the Mina romance in MHA, I just rolled the dice to see which girl (other than Ochaco, as she was in Deku's test) would be on the bus with them, and then just had the characters act as I thought they would.
Steven is Cherico; Rex, Daniel, Robbert, Duke, Alexander, Pike, & Aaron are my top-level Patrons who made characters, and Herbert is the same Herbert from Abaddon Born(e). The others are characters Cherico or I came up with, like Stacy, Seo, Aline, & Daza, and who we've just been bouncing back...
I haven't got everything planned out, but the situation will get better. They might not end up together, but Yang will grow up, and Jauncifer might loosen up a little, over the course of their adventures.

For instance, despite Stacy being the Flaggy, the Sergeant in one story (forget which) put the -cifer in that squad in charge of managing who took what classes (accidentally signing them all up for his course-load on the first day).
Honestly, depends on the Contractor, and I'd assume that 'Flaggy picks the mish, everyone else has to take it' is the standard, but their assigned Drill Sergeant could switch that up.
I could handle everything else, except the Sun, though I'd also prefer not to have been out in 90 degree weather with 90% Humidity, but that's into 'it's manageable' territory.
Got back yesterday from a 4 day trip with my friends. They ask me every year if I want to go, and I said yes this time. It was nice hanging out with them, but dear God do I hate Camping in general, and The Sun in particular.
