More Than Friends - Blog Posts

I like friends to lovers more than enemies to lovers.....

I know it's a hot take but I absolutely love a good romance that starts off with a deep friendship between two people and then becomes more than that.

Enemies to lovers is like fast food, it's not good for you, it's toxic. It's delicious, but it's not the ideal meal you should have.

Friends to lovers is like a home cooked meal, it's wholesome, it's filling, loving and sweet.

And who says there's no tension? There is.

You love your best friend and are having a dinner with them, all you could think is how beautiful they are and how you wish it was a date.....and you stare at their eyes and they stare back at you and you both go on eating as if you didn't feel your ears heating.....cuz my ears are heating just by thinking about the amount of tension familiarity between two people can bring. Enemies to lovers is about attraction that stems from hatred and more often than not leaning more towards physical attraction. Friends to lovers is the culmination of knowing someone so long that you can't live without them.

The only friends to lovers I can't root for is when one has a crush on other and constantly keeps chasing them even after getting rejected and in the end they still somehow get together.

I would rather be in love with a friend that has been beside me when I needed them than an enemy trying to kill me whom I only like cuz they are hot.

(Also enemies to lovers CAN be done right, ex. Pride and Prejudice. But one has to make both the characters realise their enemy is a good person or has traits that they do like)

We've considered MelJay. We've considered JayVik and MelVik and SkyVik. Some of us even considered SkyMel, but have we truly considered. . .

SkyJay?

The two more awkward people of the group. Sky, who is not as confident as Mel and not as blunt as Viktor, trying to make a subtle move on Jayce. Jayce, oblivious yet more than happy to indulge whatever Sky wants which makes her flustered but happy. Sky, trying to figure out how to confess her feelings while Jayce is always so freely affectionate in casual seemingly only platonic ways.

(Sky references his behavior with Mel and Viktor as how he'd behave with friends. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to realize that Jayce also likes them too. Boy's just got a big heart. She does too. They all do. Just a whole lot of love going round.)

Both of them dancing around each other's feelings, Sky because she isn't sure how to take it a step further without ruining everything and Jayce because he doesn't have a name for the warm feelings Sky's presence gives him until something happens and he's hit in the face so violently with the realization that he's in love.

Oh and their interactions afterwards with Jayce being super affectionate and Sky being overwhelmed by his love but smiling even as she feels like she's going to explode.

THEY'RE IN LOVE YOUR HONOR!!!!!!!
