Look, I'm a sucker for emotional damage in fiction, okay? Give me a story where everyone's smiling now but secretly has a tragic past that will rip my heart out. Childhood friends who finally confess after years of pining? Inject it straight into my veins. Enemies who start out trying to ruin each other's lives but accidentally fall in love instead? Yes, chef. And if the ending is happy... fine, I'll take it but if it's bittersweet or downright sad, even better. Basically, I like my romance with a side of pain and my character arcs served with emotional whiplash.
