Kümmernshipping

Kümmernshipping is the ship of Rubin Senri and Topaz Rosso.

It is considered canon in the Forever trilogy, as they started to date in late Furthermore, and even though Rubin ends their relationship in mid Forevermore, they have recently gotten back together, eventually marrying on Topaz's eighteenth birthday.

As of Evermore, they have been married for seventeen years and have six children, Copal, Corundum, Amber, Lapis Lazuli, Blaze, and Bolt.

However, in Forever and Ever, it is only considered semi-canon, though how it will be presented in Forever and Ever is unknown since there is a seven year difference between Rubin and Topaz.
