The whole "enemies to lovers" trope is really popular, especially in fanfiction, but you know what trope over that I'd take any day?

The "enemy to awkward ally to valued friend/member of the family" trope.

I mean, it gets me every time? Just watching a character transform from villainy to the good side is so satisfying to watch, especially if you're rewatching a series knowing what they will become at the end.

For example, my son Zuko from Avatar: the Last Airbender and Peridot from Steven Universe. Going back and rewatching them undergo some serious character development warms my heart. I'm a sucker for their type of character arcs.

Just- just let me have more "enemy to awkward ally to valued friend" tropes in fiction please. Let it bless others like it has blessed me over the years please. I need more of it.
