Description !!Disclaimer : This whole thing was written at 4:30 in the morning and tiredness makes me confident. You may now proceed. !!
The canonxoc debate is still alive and well for all we know.
To be honest, I do love me some ocxcanon from time to time as long it is done properly and very very worked on. For this ship I've been working on adapting the lore, reasoning and verse for about a year and I think I'm ready to show it to the world now.

So, here it is, Ro J.J. Johnson X Noah Maxwell.

It started out as a crack ship between Noah's alcoholic days and Ro's crack crazy days. I used to make really funny stories about a hang over Noah finding a very sick Ro trying to straighten herself out in a tub of cold water , fully clothed and surrounded by soaked cigarettes butts. Those were the days . Haha.
But with the time I began feeling like this crack ship COULD work outside the funny side of things. So, I started working on a story. A long one, to be honest.
With a lot of build up , patience and trust , those could work as a couple.

After a year, I finally reached the point where I can say proudly that I ship those two.

It took a lot of thinking and connection making to find a way for Ro to survive the TribeTwelve lore. A lot of work and compromise for Ro to win Noah's trust. A lot of work over Noah's internal struggle over the fact that everyone that established a connection with him dies shortly after. Overcoming the fear of attachment and commitment so he wouldn't be abandoned again. Overcoming the fear of intimacy. Supporting each other over the trauma riddled past the both had. Established health routines for both of them to help with their mental issues. Helping Noah regain a bit of confidence and supporting a hopeful outlook on his future.
A lot of Ro struggling with reducing the cocaine usage.
A lot . A lot . A lot.

There were many things I had to go over and over and over again until perfection. But I didn't give up. I didn't let my lazy ass just brush it asside as a "silly ship"
By the 3rd month mark of working on the idea, this wasn't a "silly ship" anymore, this became a character study on both parties.

Even though I worked this hard up to this point on this ship, I'm not sure on how it's going to end. I know it won't last since TribeTwelve is still ongoing and anything could happen. Noah is not ny character, not my story, not in my control and so I know one day this ship has to come to an end. Until then, I'm glad that I could make a spin of the story where Noah is able to get emotional support,a shoulder to cry and a considerable amount of help that he wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

P.S. I will not tag the fandom since I don't think it's relevant for other fans of the series to find this bullshit in the official tags.
(Also I DON'T WANT THE TT CREATOR TO SEE THIS SINCE HE MIGHT RECOGNIZE ME AND IT WOULD BE AWKWARD F U C K )
