Magva

( Nova and Magnus's relationship summed up in one picture)

( Magva's ship trope)

## Their Relationship

**(Chronological order)**

1. Meet each other in the Market's of Avalore.
2. Nova happens to see Magnus's dragon born tattoo by chance.
3. He sneaks out again the next day, meets up with Magnus, and they decide to travel together. Nova lies, saying he is going to Agulire to pay off a debt to a close friend, Magnus just happening to be traveling to Eryas as well.
4. On the first days of travelling, Nova can't hold back anymore and decides to kill Magnus swiftly then and there instead of waiting till Agulire. Magnus wakes up to Nova holding a dagger to his throat and they begin to fight. Nova reveals he was going to kill him, but doesn't mention Agulire. He then uses an enchanted gold wire to capture Magnus.
5. After capturing Magnus, Nova forces him to lead them to Agulire. Reluctantly he agrees (literally against his will)
6. Nova ties Magnus to a pole in Wareton.
7. Nova finds a binding band and puts it on Magnus.
8. Nova releases Magnus from the wire so he can win a bet for money (that they desperately need).
9. On their way to an inn Nova is captured by pirates and Magnus is knocked out after trying to fight the pirates. When he wakes up he immediately goes looking for Nova around the city despite his brain telling him to just leave.
10. Magnus and Nova team together and defeat the pirates. When they are running away from the town, Nova says that Magnus looked at him with "star eyes".
11. They continue to travel together despite having both sexual and genuine dislike tension.
12. Magnus pins Nova to a tree while covering his mouth. Nova bites him (obviously).
13. An inn keeper makes a comment suggesting that they're ahem, m o r e than traveling buddies. THAT makes them get separate rooms.
14. Nova cuddles with Magnus and starts crying. Magnus becomes overwhelmingly protective, scaring even himself with these feelings.
15. They have a heart to heart when they travel on the Privlacnu Sea.
16. Nova starts to feel regret for taking Magnus to Agulire to get him killed.
17. Magnus becomes panicked and desperate when Vivienne captures Nova and forces them to fight each other. Although Magnus was the far more injured after words, he cried and cried to Nova about how sorry he was. By this point it becomes clear (to both the audience and themselves) that they are no longer just friends.
18. They join the Yasierr assembling in Faemley. During a camp fire, Magnus and Nova dance around the fire, singing songs like drunken bards. Magnus describes the feeling as "the calm before the storm", and both feel like their hearts are going to burst.
19. Nova uses Magic to put Magnus to sleep during the Heroine Siege. Magnus begs him to not do it, that it isn't worth it, begs him to just *stay*. Nova whispers something to him right before his "death". Magnus later reveals to Florence that Nova said, "This world can live without it's moon, but never the sun. My love, keep shining". This was on a sign in a village they passed early on, which Nova dismissed, saying it was stupid. Magnus argued it was romantic.
20. Nova's last words to Magnus are, "You make me want to be a better person."
21. For the rest (almost anyway) Magnus becomes very violent and stoic. His temper is a hella lot easier to disturb. We see him shut down emotionally, almost self destructive.
22. Magnus visits Nova's grave.
23. Nova appears on Magnus's doorstep, completely drugged out looking and disgusting.
24. After Nova being mute for days, unresponsive, etc, Magnus gets tackled by him one day when he walks into the door. Nova holds a black, jagged stone dagger to his throat, sobbing. Magnus starts crying too, silently. Nova drops his arms and leans into Magnus, who holds him on the floor. Nova says he doesn't know what to do, saying " It hurts. Make it stop, please, please, *please-*"
