With the Carlily fanfic in place I can't help but really hope it happens. Dude, it's like...amazeballs fantastic. Then there's the whole adding 4,000 years to the Athalia timeline thing. It's understandable why I would absolutely [i]love[/i] to make it canon. You'd get an entire suite of new characters to play with and an entire new generation of lore. Make a killin' Mattily and/or Baelily fanfic and my opinion will probably get a little less biased (legions of Carlily supporters notwithstanding).

Luckily for the dissenters: as it's a random thing (totally think Ryuu's dreams are way more random though, lol) it's not going to be an easy one. It's no Krashy. At this point Lily is like EMOTIONS WHAT and Carmen is completely oblivious to romance of any sort. At this stage in the canon it's not any more likely than anything else. [s]Ryuu might still have a chance[/s] Frankly, MariaxMizuki could potentially occur IC sooner (#MarukiHype2014), assuming this season ends soon. Pick any of the shipping company relationships on the pad involving both Carmen and Lily...all are still possible. (Carmen x Mercy, anyone?)

...but I (and others) still really want Carlily to happen. You can rest assured, though, that I won't be compromising Carmen's character to accomplish it. She won't suddenly be like "OMG LILY I LOVE YOU FOREVER MARRY ME" just to accomplish the goal (and right now if Carmen did that Lily would probably explode out of confusion or something.).

Mattily can happen. But Matt's going to have to actually do something to get the ball rolling, or else it probaby won't. Carmen is incapable of doing something to get the Carlily ball rolling, so Matt, Bael, Ryuu or anyone else vying for Lily's or Carmen's affection have plenty of time. But it's gotta happen [i]eventually[/i] if you want it to happen at all.
