We've all done it; finished a story imagining the what ifs and if-onlies of a potential romantic coupling(s) that never was/were. What was that one rousing good tale which still haunts your hopelessly romantic thoughts? For me, well... It's a bit of (pretty much entirely) a crackship, I admit, but I have never gotten over the potential of King Conan and Rinaldo the Minstrel. I know how this sounds, but hear me out. Yes, they barely interact, it's incredibly generous to call their exchanges a 'relationship', and the latter tries to murder the former... B-but have you even heard the way Conan talks about him? The way he stays his axe when he is among his would-be assassins? Does that sound at all like someone who isn't down bad? To say nothing of Rinaldo's brief mention in 'The Scarlet Citadel', which implies he might've been under the influence of Tsotha-lanti. What if there was a STRONG and RUGGED Cimmerian to— Ahem, anyways, what about yourselves?
