Aw, thanks. I do want to write the Innes/L'Ara thing some time... I just didn't have the energy.
L'Arachel....
1) I like her. She's more endearing than I expected her to be; she's not as well-written as Serra, IMO, but she does have that poignant side lurking underneath the shouting. She could only "work" in Magvel, though. Magvel's kind of weird.
2) Rennac/L'Arachel. Ooh, I like it. He seems aware of her faults (and kind of revels in his own) but he's drawn to her nonetheless. She's my favorite marriage option for Ephraim ('cause the other option's Tana[*]) and I think she goes well enough with Innes. I'm pretty flexible with Magvel pairings, and she's no exception.
3) Lovely friendship with Eirika... and I do like her connection to Dozla.
4) Huh. There are popular opinions about L'Arachel? I don't think there's a prevailing stereotype about her that I disagree with; it's not like bitch!Serra where she's horribly written 50% of the time. I guess I disagree that she's a really horny sex priestess? I mean, that's fun crack, but I don't see that for reasonable interpretation of canon.
5) Paired ending with Rennac. No question.
* Nothing against Tana, but I have not changed my view that Ephraim/Tana is basically Marth/Caeda without any of the GOOD parts of M/C's relationship.
