It's trope discussion Monday! What do you think about Friends to Lovers fics? What makes them work for you? Can you recommend a good fic where the romance grows out of friendship? 

#TropeChats

@FandomChats

A lot of my ships are best friends/childhood friends turned lovers, so yes, I love this trope. Also a very common trope in cmedia (look up green plum bamboo horse
😂)

I like it when there's no way to tell that the relationship has grown into lovers? Like there's no point in their relationship that can be pointed at and go "aha this is the shift." I love codependent childhood friends who go through literal flames of hell for each other. I love childhood friends who overturn governments together. I love childhood friends who are forcefully separated and then have to work their ways back to each other.

Sorry as always I do not have stuff bookmarked hahahah
@geraineon @FandomChats All of these things are great! (and not what I generally think of when I hear friends to lovers)
@Forestofglory mm, i just really like friendship stories and so friends to lovers is also like having all the friendship stories
