Top 10 Best Wings of Fire Couples and Ships

Whether you're Team Moonbli (Qibli and Moonwatcher) or rooting for the fiery romance of Cleril (Clay and Peril), the Wings of Fire universe offers a ship for every heart. From star-crossed lovers to forbidden romances and heartwarming friendships that blossom into something more, there's a dragon duo out there that's sure to resonate with you.

From the scorching sands of the SandWing desert to the icy peaks of the Ice Kingdom, love knows no bounds in Pyrrhia. Which couples will reign supreme in the hearts of fans?

The Top Ten

Fathom x Indigo

I love this ship. The loyalty is incredible. The playfulness is extremely important and that is one trait they both have. I love how Fathom just accepted his feelings and went with them even when he wasn't supposed to.

I love this one with all my heart. Fathom was so in love with Indigo, and she felt the same throughout Darkstalker. He was devastated when she "left." He used his magic for her multiple times, and he was heartbroken when he had to stay away from her.
Indigo was so protective of Fathom. She was willing to die for him, she kept him safe from Darkstalker's magic, and she loved him just as much as he loved her. I love this ship so much. Definitely one of my favorites.
Glory x Deathbringer

Glory x Deathbringer is overall probably my second favorite ship! Their personalities intertwine so well, and I love their sarcasm. It's so funny. They're very perfect for each other. (And don't even get me started on the age gap. They're both adults. Leave us Glorybringer shippers alone).

Their relationship is so cute and funny. Deathbringer is constantly making jokes to try to make her laugh or annoy her, and Glory is constantly trying to pretend she doesn't like or need him.
I think he is what she needs because she is very mature, but she needed someone to make her laugh and help lift the pressure and responsibility off her shoulders.
Blue x Cricket

Why is this not in the top seven? At least? It's like they both like the other but are too scared to tell!
This is what should happen: When they get to Pyrrhia, Blue finds a book about "reading monkeys" and gives it to Cricket. She gets so happy and tells him that she loves him. And he says that she shouldn't and admits that he loves her. Then they are a couple.
That really should happen. And Cricket will grow up to be a scientist who studies scavengers, and Blue will help her.
By the way, these are my favorite characters. I love the Lost Continent books, and Sundew and Willow is my second favorite couple. And if you say that you hate this, I will find you and destroy you.
Peril x Clay

They were the first couple I think I truly loved, and I remember knowing how their story ended. I hope we get more depth with them later on, because I think it's amazing.
I do feel like Peril was way too overprotective of Clay, and I kind of feel bad for him. Still, all in all, they are SO CUTE together. Also, I know I'm going to get some hate for this, but I loved the moment when Clay and Glory were together, even if it was just for a minute or two.
I think when everyone first read the book, we all thought it was going to be Clay and Sunny. Bro, why is his love life so weird?

This is a ship that will sail no matter what. Clay is the only dragon who ever saw the good in Peril and was nice to her. Peril may be a little overprotective (and turned a NightWing to ashes when he tried to hurt Clay), but they are perfect.
Kinkajou x Turtle

Love how Turtle asked his sister to wake her up for him. This is way better than the ship with Peril, because Peril loves Clay and Turtle loves Kinkajou, so that wouldn't work.

This ship is way better than Peril x Turtle. It's cute how one of them is an animus, and one is not. This also means that Turtle has always had a crush on Kinkajou. Here are the reasons I prefer this ship over Peril x Turtle:
Kinkajou can actually touch Turtle without burning him to a crisp. Sure, Turtle accidentally made his scales harder than diamonds, but does Peril really love him? Or did he just join her adventure because he wanted to get out of Jade Mountain?
Seriously, people, Peril likes Clay and Turtle likes Kinkajou. I know some Turtle x Peril fans might close their computers after reading this comment, but please hear me out. Turtle is pretty much already mated with Kinkajou. And all Peril thinks about is Clay, so she can't love Turtle. According to the love spell, Turtle loves Kinkajou much more than he even knows Peril.
Turtle is an animus. I know, this sounds like evidence for the ship, but Peril probably hates animus dragons after meeting her father. He gave her an enchanted necklace so that she would forget about Clay and get rid of her firescales. And then, right after that, she started thinking about Clay again. There's no room in her mind for 'Oh, yeah, I actually love Turtle.'
This is a great ship, and I love it a lot! - Clarity the Animus NightWing
Riptide x Tsunami

I love this ship. They are just so cute from the beginning. When Tsunami is in the Kingdom of the Sea, she doesn't trust many people, but she trusts Riptide from the start. She goes to him when she needs help, and he helps without question.
Also, even though Queen Coral threatened him, he still followed Tsunami to make sure she stayed safe. Finally, they both get so excited anytime they see or hear about each other.

I have loved this ship since Tsunami met Riptide. It is such a clear understanding and love. They are so cute together and worry about each other. It's obviously meant to be, no matter what Queen Coral thinks.
Sundew x Willow

I just finished book 13, and now I completely understand everything. Mandrake is so wrong for Sundew, to put it mildly. Whereas Willow is a dragon THAT SUNDEW ACTUALLY LIKES!!!!!!! Sorry, I know Sundew likes more dragons than Willow, but right now, it's still a little hard to believe. Plus, when Sundew told Mandrake she didn't love him, she said he was one of THE FEW dragons she liked, so there.
Willow might be a SapWing, but I really like her. And not just that, but Sundew really truly loves her and would probably die for her. When Sundew was yelling at Nettle, Willow told her to stop, and she was so mad at Nettle for making Willow talk to her like that. Sundew tries to be more like Willow, more or less, and Willow tries to be more like Sundew. They fit perfectly with each other, and no one can argue with that.
- Glory The Best
Qibli x Moonwatcher

This is the best. I love it. Qibli makes Moon feel better with his jokes, and Moon makes Qibli feel seen and loved. They are great for each other, although I wouldn't say perfect because Winterwatcher also has some good chemistry.
Anyways, there are so many good things about this ship. I think Moon fell for Qibli before Book Ten, when they were alone in Possibility, and we all know that Qibli fell in love with Moon basically the first time he met her. He never yells at Moon (coughs, unlike Winter, coughs) and always stands up for her, although he will calmly tell her if he thinks she may be wrong.
Meanwhile, Moon sees only the good in Qibli and ignores his insecurities, is always kind and affectionate towards him, and makes sure that he's okay. One of my favorites for sure.
Fatespeaker x Starflight

Fatespeaker loves Starflight. Though I don't like them together, they are not one of my favorite ships. Fatespeaker does not really treat Starflight the way I thought she would.
I feel like Sunny would love him more, like in book 5 when she was talking about him, and in book 4 when Starflight was in the volcano mountain, he was talking about Sunny. I am convinced that Fatespeaker gave him a potion that is making Starflight fall in love with her.
Also, I am sorry for the people who love this ship. Though I personally don't, I think that Starflight and Sunny were better off together than Fatespeaker and Starflight.

Although I used to be a fan of Sunnyflight, Starspeaker is a lot better in a way. I hated it when Sunny told Starflight that she only loved him as a brother, especially after he did so many things to keep her safe and showed her affection and loyalty. Sunny had her reasons. She loved Starflight, but only as a brother, which makes sense because it's difficult to feel romantic love for your adopted sibling. Starflight, on the other hand, only loved Sunny for her personality and warm scales, so it seems he didn't love her as deeply as he thought he did.
Starspeaker makes more sense because Fatespeaker genuinely loves Starflight, and Starflight likes Fatespeaker. Maybe he doesn't love her as much yet, but perhaps his feelings will change, and he'll eventually admit to himself that he loves her. Right now, I think he's waiting for Sunny to return his feelings. However, once he realizes that Sunny will never love him in that way, because they are adopted siblings, he may finally allow himself to express his true feelings for Fatespeaker. I believe these two would make a perfect match.
Blaze x Glacier

Underrated! This ship is awesome. I know a lot of people don't really like it, but I certainly do!
Glacier is always saving Blaze, as noted in book three, and that one scene in book five when she brushes her wing with hers and reassures her! Also, at the end of book three. Gives me chills! I love this ship.

I don't even know why. I wasn't going to choose this mainly because of the very different species, but something felt right about it.
Blaze really loves Glacier, but Glacier just wanted to use her for land, so I ultimately felt bad for Blaze... so here we are.

The Newcomers

?
Six-Claws x Kindle

It was kind of strange how Kindle suddenly liked Six-Claws, but I think it's a pretty good ship.

I like this one. So Kindle is Ostrich's mother, then, right?
They're good for each other.

These two obviously love each other. It's just so classic.
?
Foeslayer x Arctic

It started off so well. The prologue of Darkstalker and Runaways gets me every time. They fell in love with each other instantly and were willing to risk everything for each other.
But then... I'm not sure what happened. They started fighting, everything fell apart, and the ship was nearly ruined. This one is so sad for me.

This was a sad one.
If Arctic hadn't used his animus power, found a different way to get out of the Ice Kingdom, and cared about Darkstalker, everything would have been different. Darkstalker would not have killed him because he would have cared about him. Foeslayer and Arctic probably wouldn't have had that argument that caused Foeslayer to take off her earring, so she wouldn't have been taken by Queen Diamond.
And if Foeslayer hadn't been taken, Darkstalker wouldn't have gone crazy.

The Contenders

Anemone x Tamarin

I love it! Anemone is my favorite character, and I hate how everyone overlooks her as a spoiled brat who hurt Moon and attacked Turtle, without even giving a second thought to how hard her childhood must've been. Yes, she had a hard childhood even while being favored by Coral. Try to actually think about it more deeply, please.
And how Darkstalker literally enchanted her for petty revenge on the SeaWings. It's just so sweet how Anemone always leaves little gifts for Tamarin and always shows up where she is. I think that being with Tamarin is good for Anemone, and Tamarin's patient and thoughtful nature will dampen Anemone's bold, demanding attitude.
I wish Tui had put more scenes of them together. It would be a great potential ship. I like to think that Anemone is sometimes doubtful about her crush, and a little scared that she might hurt Tamarin because of her Animus powers (Whirlpool, Moon), but still can't help but like Tamarin anyway. I sometimes also like to think that Tamarin likes Anemone back, but doesn't know how to go about it, since Anemone is the SeaWing princess. I hope it truly becomes canon, and not just some excuse to add LGBTQ to the series!
Clearsight x Darkstalker

This ship makes me want to bawl my eyes out every time I think about what could have been. They both started off loving each other so deeply and so genuinely that it made me and themselves think nothing could ever go wrong, even with Clearsight's visions.
But it just crumbled slowly and gradually until it was nothing more than the ruins of Agate Mountain. In my opinion, it started with Foeslayer's disappearance. Then it escalated into something worse and worse until it was gone completely.
It's so sad. I loved it at the beginning. But the earrings, and Quickdeath, and Foeslayer, and then it was ruined. I still love it. But still, super sad.
Darkstalker x Fathom

Voting for this so it stays on top of WinterWatcher (WHICH SUCKS), lmao.
Qibli x Winter

Yay! The only ship in the Qinterwatcher love triangle that isn't bland, cliche, toxic (Winterwatcher, cough), or mid. I just think it's really silly and cute.
I only feel like Moon got with Qibli because book 10 was Qibli's book. I mean Moonbli is fine. I used to ship it, but now I've realized that it's super bland and uninteresting. I'm not super into the Qinterwatcher love triangle drama stuff, but I prefer Qinter over the other two. I like Qinter, then Moonbli, then Winterwatcher. Also, I do not like the way the Qinterwatcher love triangle was handled, with Moon being treated as a prize.
I personally ship Moon with either Qibli, if I'm being canon, I guess, or Kinkajou. Anyway, peace. - cinnacii
Anemone x Pike

Pike is always looking out for Anemone in ways that no one else does. He is always on guard and ensures that everyone respects her. Anemone deserves a guy like him.

Pike is seriously Anemone's bodyguard! He never takes his eyes off Anemone and is always defending her from possible threats. That sounds like love to me.

I love them together! Yes, Pike is a little strong-headed and Anemone is not the best, but Pike is so darn protective! I really like them.
Whiteout x Thoughtful

Whiteout and Thoughtful are a great ship! Listener just wasn't meant for Thoughtful, but Whiteout is amazing for him. It shows how they really care for each other when Whiteout wants to stay with Thoughtful in the palace, even when it's dangerous for her. Thoughtful was worried when Darkstalker put a spell on Arctic, and the NightWing was brave enough to cross the stage and ask if Whiteout was alright.
The part where Thoughtful understood Whiteout and spoke the same language as her was truly sweet. Overall, the ship is awesome, and I wish to see more of it.

Love at first sight. Listener was never meant for Thoughtful, unfortunately for her, but Whiteout and Thoughtful loved each other instantly.
He came looking for her when Arctic was slaughtered, and she stayed with him to protect him from spirits after Quickdeath died. I love it so much. And it has a happy ending, too, unlike some of the ships in Darkstalker.
Snowfall x Lynx

At first, I didn't expect to ship them, with Snowfall commonly snapping at Lynx. However, once I realized that with Snowfall's grief and Lynx's playful attitude, Lynx could help Snowfall. All of the moments where Snowfall wakes up from a vision and Lynx immediately comforts her are adorable. I really think this should be canon! Winter doesn't really care about Lynx's feelings, so they can't be a ship. Snowfall pretty much hates Sky, so Lynx and Snowfall are meant for each other!

This is a great ship. As soon as I read the newest book, I immediately shipped it. Lynx is always nice to Snowfall, while Snowfall can kind of snap back at her sometimes. But then Snowfall really grows to care about Lynx, and I just find it so cute.
Moonwatcher x Winter

Moon is better for Winter. Yes, Qibli did have a hard childhood, but he did get a happy ending because he got allied with Thorn, and she basically treated him like the son she never had when he was only three years old. Winter, on the other hand, did not have that. His family hated him, and he had to live that lifestyle for five years until he was forced to go to Jade Mountain Academy and met Moon.
Yes, he was a little rude to her at first, but guess what? He changed. He got better. He left his entire lifestyle behind on the chance that he might be able to have a life with the dragon he loves, also known as Moonwatcher. He sacrificed everything. Remind me, what did Qibli sacrifice? Because he didn't really sacrifice anything except for Animus Magic - which is not a big deal. All he said was, "Oh no, I do not want to lose my soul."
Winter sacrificed his home, his friends (or whatever friends he had), and everything he knew just to be with Moonwatcher. He has always loved her since we met him, while Qibli fell in "love" with her in Book 10. Winter has loved Moon from the start, and he sacrificed everything - especially anything he ever knew. He gave up a life of royalty and luxury.
You can see how close they became, how Winter just wants to protect her and do what's best for her, to make sure she's happy and safe. I stay up all night imagining that Moonwatcher chooses Winter, moves in with him, and they fall in love and get married. I've made several of these fantasies, and I just wish they were true. Winter is not only better for her, he's kinder, he's better, and he actually helps her come out of her shyness.
Luna x Swordtail

Pure love! I'm just glad they didn't have to go through all the drama to realize they love each other. I love drama, don't get me wrong, but I just love how pure and simple Luna and Swordtail's love is. Swordtail would go across the ocean and back to find Luna, and Luna would do the same.
I cannot imagine Luna or Swordtail with anyone else - they are a perfect match, and I wouldn't pair these two with anyone else!
Butterfly the RainWing/IceWing (and princess to the RainWing throne!)

No matter how hard Blue tried to keep their relationship at bay, they still loved each other. They joked together, sat on honey drops, and basically kissed and went on dates.
Also, Swordtail called Luna "My Love!" Obvious match from the beginning.
Sunny x Starflight

I think Sunny honestly might like Starflight, and she is trying to deny it. Starflight clearly will always love Sunny, and I think this is a super sweet ship.
I just think Fatespeaker isn't right for Starflight, although they could be friends. I know that it's confirmed Starflight has a NightWing child, but if you think of hybrids, his child could be hiding the SandWing part of him.
Either way, this is a great ship.

What people think about is the relationship, but what they should really think about are the dragonets. Who would be a kinder, more optimistic, caring, and sensible mother? Sunny! Fatespeaker thinks she can see the future when all of her predictions are incorrect. Sunny was actually loyal and kind. Fatespeaker treated him like a toddler.
This ship has its twists and turns, but these two have always loved each other and they are not going to let go. (By the way, I'm listening to the song Dandelions, and that's why I might sound so passionate.) Sunny x Starflight is the canon relationship between Sunny and Starflight. The ship also has a cool name: Sunnyflight.
Starflight has always loved Sunny, even if she's not sure about her feelings toward him. If you were paying attention while reading, you might have noticed that she has feelings for him too. - Clarity the Animus NightWing
Snowflake x Snowfox

I love this ship! Snowfox cares for Snowflake, and Snowflake would do anything for her!
I think they're both really cool and good for each other.

If you haven't heard about these two, read the Winglets books. In the Winglet book that they are in, Snowflake has to marry Prince Arctic, Darkstalker's father. Well, surprise, surprise, she doesn't want to. Arctic is always mean and doesn't talk to her. Then, when they have a party (the IceWings host a party for the NightWings before they hated each other), Snowflake meets Snowfox, who also hates Arctic. They try to get him out of the kingdom together.
Burnet x Silverspot

I love this ship! It feels like they were made for each other. Honestly, Admiral just doesn't seem like a good pick at all.

They seem in love and good for each other, but I feel like we haven't seen enough of them to judge.
Good ship, though.

They just like each other without any drama or a giant, cross-continent, world-saving endeavor. They go so well together.
Mangrove x Orchid

Mangrove literally spent months searching for Orchid! Because of their chemistry, Glory became queen, the RainWings were rescued, and she met Deathbringer! I really love this ship because I feel like it is an oldie but goodie!

I love this. This is just one of those sweet, elderly ships that is so wholesome. Mangrove and Orchid love each other so much, and Orchid was so happy when she heard that Mangrove was coming. This is one of those ships that actually doesn't have a horde of fans having a shipping war along with them.
Smolder x Thorn

Smolder is my absolute favorite character. Maybe it's because we both have a strange sense of humor and like exotic pets, but I digress. Smolder and Thorn are an absolutely adorable couple, even if it is just light teasing for now.
I think Smolder would make an awesome king, and I believe Smolder and Thorn deserve each other. It's also difficult to deny the fact that they love each other. Consider this: Smolder literally locked her in a room with Sunny in Book 5 and was going to wait for his sister to come and kill them. Yet, she still managed to forgive him even when she became queen and had every right and all the power to kill him. That's true love right there.
Smolder has also had his fair share of horrible experiences - dead brothers, lost his partner, and been threatened by his sister. I think Thorn would be a good support system for him. This ship and Blicket are my favorite couples in Wings of Fire.
Lynx x Winter

I actually really like this ship. I think Winter might have once had a crush on Lynx. And I think Lynx has had a crush on him her whole life.
Winter doesn't belong with Moon but does with Lynx. They care and it's so sweet. Winter, get over Moon and realize Lynx is there.

I like this ship, but Lynx is probably going to end up with Snowfall in the end (which is fine, I'm not against Lynx x Snowfall in any way). I just think that this ship would be a great ending for Winter because he has no mate and there are still some other dragons out there for him.
Although I do think that Tui might introduce another IceWing for Winter to be with, and Lynx will be with Snowfall. I love this ship, but sadly, it's never going to happen. Also, Winter is unkind to Moon, and their ship doesn't have a foundation. I'm not sure what the foundation for this ship is. Maybe it was saving her from a NightWing in the battle of Ice and Night?
Lynx is super happy to see him at the sanctuary. Plus, she was one of the dragons that helped him become "better." (I think he was character butchered, but that's my opinion.)
