GRAVEROBBERS_
"Look at you. I used to love you so much."
"Used to? Not anymore?"
"No. You've changed."
"... You've stayed the same."
—— Lysander & Dirge in NECROPHANTASMAGORIA (20XX)
Graverobbers is the name of the pairing between Lysander Cruz and Dirge.
Graverobbers is named to refer to the two events that drove a wedge in Lysander and Dirge's relationship. The first event was Lysander trying to dig up Alucard's body from his tomb in E-Temeng-Igru. The second event was Dirge going behind Lysander's back to reanimate the recently-killed Angelos.
The alternate ship name, Machine-shipping, come from their shared machinery-related motifs. On the Non-Diegetic Divine-Flesh-Machine Imprinted Psyche Model (note to webmaster: for the love of god, PLEASE rework that name), they are the only two characters whose primary type is machine.
Work in progress
Dirge and Lysander met in their mid-teens. They slowly became best friends over five years despite the circumstances. They lost contact after Dirge defected from the Triad.
Years later, Lysander——who had recently left GUILD——saved Dirge who was succumbing to the wounds inflicted by Alucard. They lived together for a couple of years. At one point, they had a sexual relationship which was discontinued when Lysander became pregnant which they both agreed not to keep.
