Leon and Ada's relationship throughout RESIDENT EVIL franchise depicted by some TV Tropes [
] #Aeon #LeonxAda
"Samaritan Relationship Starter" or "Rescue Romance"
This is how their relationship starts! She's gonna save his ass so many times, it's even going to become a running gag in the franchise. He saves her a lot too, but well Ada's already a pro in keeping her babe safe #Aeon

If we were to take into account how many times she does this without him even knowing, or how eager he is to do the same for her, we should add "Mysterious Protector" and "Declaration of Protection" as well. They're REALLY into keeping each other's safety. #Aeon
"Distracted by the Sexy"
Oh, Leon! Look at his face just after she explodes a truck at Mr. X's "face" and also... when she flashes her entire thigh to him (a privileged view he doesn't refuse to savour, of course! lmao) #Aeon

"Say My Name"
Well, I don't need to elaborate on this, because there are even full compilations taking care of this. Leon is completely obsessed with her name (I love him, okay?). #Aeon

"Belligerent Sexual Tension" & "Unresolved Sexual Tension"
Pointing their gun at each other's face one minute, placing a not-so-shy hand at each other's thigh the next. We all know what you two really want! #Aeon

"Back-to-Back Badasses", "Battle Couple", "Male Might, Female Finesse"
“Y’know. We make a good team […]”, right Leon? Step on me mommy and daddy! lmaooo #Aeon

"Colour Coded Characters"
did you know it was a very conscious decision by the development team to make Ada's colour palette contrast and complement Leon's one?
To Ada's deep red we have Leon's navy blue. (Take a look here: https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Claire_Redfield/development) #Aeon

"Opposites Attract"
Initially, upright and altruistic, Leon meets and falls in love with Ada, who's shady and cynical. She's his upside down / mirrored reflection/shadow.
They are also, at the surface, aligned with opposing forces (or are they??) #Aeon

"Motivational Kiss" (RE2R) and/or "Last Kiss" (RE2 OG)
little detail I LOVE: we can notice him adjusting his own weight so he can angle his head better and enjoy the kiss. It's ever so subtle, but it's there! gif here: https://66.media.tumblr.com/c78adbde69fca361c382a688a3fb20fd/tumblr_pmajd2xDk51s6ub5do6_250.gif #Aeon

"Love Makes You Dumb"
This really goes both ways tbh (remember Ada deciding to go against mf Wesker for him? well ), but it is even more noticeable from Leon's side for OBVIOUS reasons. #Aeon

"What the Hell, Hero?"
Remember when he wrestles against Chris when the guy is about to shoot Carla. What if this is true Ada? No way in hell he's going to let him kill her. He's the first one to pull up his gun, too, and doesn't lower it EVEN AFTER recognizing Chris. #Aeon

"Was It All a Lie?"
“So that's all this was… I was just some pawn to you?”, it's a plea. Was Annette right then? Tagging along with her was a terrible mistake? Saving her was a mistake? What about falling in love with her – what now?
Tell me you love me, right Nick? #Aeon

"Take My Hand" and "I Let Gwen Stacy Die"
He's doing his hardest to not let go of her. He’s so in love. Failing to save her here is going to leave him traumatized, scarring him forever. This one thing he couldn't help. She's going to haunt him for all of his life. #Aeon

"Heroic Sacrifice" and "I Want My Beloved to Be Happy"
Am I hurting you yet? Ada's “Forget it.” “It’s not worth it.” and “Take care of yourself, Leon.”
If you don't think this woman truly loves this man, please, reconsider it. #Aeon

"The Mourning After", "Love Is a Drug", and "I Will Wait for You"
He spent the following 6 years after Raccoon obsessing about to which end Ada came off to (confirmed by Umbrella Chronicles!)
These two couldn't get over each other for more than FIFTEEN YEARS now, lmao. #Aeon

"Not So Different"
Well, remember I said Opposites Attract? Scratch that. That's in the past. After Raccoon, Leon becomes more and more like Ada (jaded and disillusioned). On her end, Ada recovers a little of her trust in mankind because of him. #Aeon

Because of her meeting with Leon, Ada now obeys to some of these tropes:
"Defrosting Ice Queen", "Because You Were Nice to Me", "Defecting for Love", and "Love Redeems"
Leon also serves as her "Morality Pet", and he represents the "You Are Worth Hell" for her. #Aeon

Because of his meeting with Ada and surviving so many things, Leon now obeys to some of these tropes:
"Good Is Not Dumb", "Took a Level in Cynic", "Knight in Sour Armor", "The Snark Knight", "Sour Outside, Sad Inside".
She represents his "Trickster Mentor". #Aeon

"The Lady's Favour", and "Lipstick Mark"
From Rocket Launchers, to an Anonymous Letter in that hut after Del Lago, to a signed letter and a paper airplane with lipstich marks, to a cute bear keychain, to a ring, and a pendrive in a make-up compact. #Aeon

"Dating Catwoman"
Well, Leon can resign himself and, technically speaking, betray his country… But can Ada simply turn her back on everything she's involved with without this implicating putting Leon’s entire life at risk? (btw, this is my fave sequence) #Aeon

"Butterfly of Death and Rebirth", "Butterfly of Transformation"
Her dress in RE4 carries references to a Chinese romantic allegory that, curiously enough, strongly fits with them. Read about it here: http://blog.tutorming.com/expats/butterfly-lovers-chinese-romeo-and-juliet-liangzhu
Also, butterflies seemingly follow him around #Aeon

Also, little sidenote, but please keep in mind that Ada is not Korean, nor Japanese, she's a Chinese (or Chinese-American) character, her motifs are extracted from the Chinese culture. Be mindful and considerate about this detail, it's important. #Aeon
"Berserk Button", "If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him/Her", "Undying Loyalty", "Violently Protective Girlfriend/Boyfriend"
As said before, they're very protective of each other, and they are prone to behave violently against anyone or anything each other in harm ways. #Aeon

"Brainwashed and Crazy"
When Leon comes closer, we can see Ada reacting as if anticipating (and welcoming) a kiss. She lowers her guard, raises her hand gently towards his face and tilts her head slightly to the opposite direction so she can lean onto the it. But... #Aeon

"Longing Look", "Held Gaze"
Oh, Leon's face looking at the place she's just been and left with a wistful expression. They way they communicate their feelings without saying a word
#Aeon

"Break His Heart to Save Him", "It's Not You, It's My Enemies", "Love Martyr"
RE2, RE4 and RE6 endings for their arcs in a nutshell. When will Ada be able to retire and settle down once and for all? #Aeon

"Star-Crossed Lovers", "One True Love"
If you played all the games, and even at this point you don't believe they're the love of each other's lives, I'm sorry, but I'll have to break some news for you. #Aeon

"Did They or Didn't They?" and "Secret Relationship"
Be it half a year after Spain in 2004, or late 2008 / early 2009 - like Damnation's director implied -, the fact is, these two have been hooking up for a long time now. #Aeon

"Not So Stoic" and "Heroic BSoD"
Ada admits losing composure every time it involves Leon, but have you paid attention to his face whenever he thinks he lost her for good? #Aeon

Now last, but not least!:
"Everyone Can See It" and "Shippers on Deck":
In-game characters that seen the two of them together KNOW there's something going on. Be it for their allies or for their foes, their feelings are just too damn obvious. #Aeon
