BoM/TWS Message Forum

Will has had various kinds of relationships in BoM. Some have been romantic, forged as a result of a shared enterprise built around the SLP: Chelsea and Sydney are the obvious ones. Some have been romantic as a result of victimization by the SLP: He forges a relationship with Kelsey (of all people) as a result.

Others are straight male friendship: This is the kind he has with Caleb and/or Keith, and/or other groups (like the YouTubers).

And there have been mentor/student relationships: with Blackwell and the Stellae.

These are the most obvious kinds of relationships, and I feel like I've worn a groove in the sidewalk by taking these around the block so often. Are there any other kinds of relationships that it seems like could be explored with the SLP as an anchor? The only example I can think of is a family relationship -- and that one I can't think of a way of setting that kind of thing up. Are there any other relationships you guys can think of, or variations on the above relationships?

Alternately, which kind of relationship do you enjoy seeing the story develop in the context of? Burgeoning romance, male camaraderie, student? Or Will getting in trouble with no one else knowing what he's up to?
