I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

good advice to be honest

What fanfiction has taught me about writing relationships:

In order to be invested in a romance, you have to fall a little in love with the characters too. The reader should be falling in love at the same rate that the characters are, so that you can feel a deeper emotional attachment to the characters and their relationship. After all, the #1 reason people say they ship something is that they love the characters.

You have to know what X character loves about Y character. It it the timbre of Y’s voice? How they help them through hard things? Their sense of humor? Their seriousness? If the author just says that they’re in love, then that doesn’t give the same emotional attachment as showing why they are. 

Even if both characters are likable/sympathetic, that doesn’t guarantee that their chemistry will be good. Banter and interesting dialogue are important, and making sure that the scenes with them together are some of the most enjoyable makes the reader want to see more of their relationship.

This may just be a personal preference, but if both characters have a similar past or goal that they’re working towards it makes you not only want to keep them but also their relationship safe. Using mchanzo (a ship I adore) as an example, both characters are ex-criminals with pasts that they regret who are seeking redemption. This makes them both healing and growing as people (especially with one another’s help) much more meaningful.

It’s okay to have elements of toxicity in the relationship, but if your end goal is to have them stay together and be happy then you want them to have a healthy relationship. You don’t want the reader getting into it but then reminding themself “Wait, but X did this to Y. Is this okay?”

If the main storyline is about the character’s romance, then at least to me it’s a huge plus if the perspective switches between the two characters. The reader being intimately aware of one character’s psyche but the other being a mysterious figure for the majority/entirety of the story makes you not really care, but if you can get the story from both perspectives it not only makes both characters feel essential to the story, but ties back to point 2: that you have to know why both characters love each other.

While conflict in the relationship is perfectly fine and even something I’d encourage, if the characters spend the majority of the story pissed off at each other in one way or another then the reader has no reason to think of their relationship as something to root for.

Slow burns are your best friend. If you want the relationship to feel meaningful in any way then giving it time to develop, letting the characters to develop their feelings, and allowing the reader to get a feel of their dynamic is essential. Tying again back to point 2, you have to show, not tell the reader that they’re in love.
