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 it's the basis for most of my ships, but I wouldn't say I'm drawn to it or actively look for it. In recent years I've grown an appreciation for fwb.

Today's fic rec sits on the ambiguous side but has the usual trappings of "ooh but this could change our relationship"

@charisu @FandomChats ohh, a popnev! gonna bookmark to read later. Thank you!
@geraineon @FandomChats it's one of my favorites! There's not much content for them, but I feel every single fic for them is a banger as a result.
@charisu I don't go looking for LoGH fics very much. I really should!

Sad that there's not a lot of content for popnev though. They are great!
