“Enemies to lovers” is such an ambiguously-named trope because it could just as easily apply to two separate things:

1. two characters deeply dislike each other on a personal level but end up becoming a couple (I have 0 interest in this trope whatsoever)

2. two characters are on opposite sides and meant to hate each other but end up becoming a couple (literally one of my favourite ship tropes of all time)

#unfortunately I think the first definition is more universally used #how many great stories involving definition 2 have been missed by me because I assumed definition 1??????#obviously these two definitions can overlap BUT of course I prefer them not to lmao #I think my favoured version tends to come more under 'enemies to friends to lovers'#and sure enough I don't mind nearly so much when they dislike each other but then become friends and THEN get together #but also. what abt the Tension of 'okay they're my Hated Enemy but also I think they're a really great guy???'#the Stress of 'this organisation is my only path in life but this person has shown me friendship I never believed I deserved'!!!!!!!!
