The following villanelle is for the ship of Mara and Noah. Whereas most ship names are just the names of the two characters mashed together to make something resembling a word, their ship name is an actual word. This is because it is made up of their initials:
Mara
Amitra
Dyer
Noah
Elliot
Simon
Shaw
***************************************

Their devotion to each other was a sight to behold,
Even if some mistook it for simple lust.
They vowed to stay together despite what had been foretold.

When they first met, strange events began to unfold,
And to remain together, they both did whatever they must.
Their devotion to each other was a sight to behold.

She would love him to ruins, she was told,*
Though in this prophecy, did neither of them place their trust.
They vowed to stay together despite what had been foretold.

Through this storm of tricks and lies, their love they managed to uphold,
Even as the world they thought they knew crumbled to dust.
Their devotion to each other was a sight to behold.

Forced apart by events that could not be controlled,
The two were finally reunited, despite the situations into which they had been thrust.
They vowed to stay together despite what had been foretold.

Their passion for each other they could no longer withhold,
And what had for so long been mere sparks began to combust.
Their devotion to each other was a sight to behold,
They vowed to stay together despite what had been foretold.

The song I picked for this villanelle was a no-brainer: Savior by Rise Against
