Childhood-friends-to-lovers is my favorite of all things to read and write, but I've had the same best friend since Kindergarten and when people suggest we date I'm like, "Gross. I love her but she's basically my sibling." So. I'm on the opposite end of the friend spectrum, but I feel you. Makes for a really satisfying narrative, though!

Nothing wrong with this anon. All of my relationships have been pretty healthy and friendships too, but I exclusively ship pairings with a dark twist to their relationship. What we ship doesn't necessarily reflect the romance or social choices we make in real life, or even what we desire in RL.

I'm asexual and aromantic (and pretty asocial in general, honestly), so everything I ship is pretty much nothing I want for myself in real life. It's cool. I just like a good story with some interesting interactions and dynamics between characters.

I have a lot of trouble with the general trend for relating stories back to yourself, actually. Like, magic and flight would be cool, but short of that there's very little the happens in most stories that I would want to be involved in personally. Well, the genres I like anyway. I'm reading these to watch them happen to other people, while I sit nice and safe and entertained at home. You know?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't exclusively gravitate towards this dynamic, but it is one I like and an easy one for me to get into. Like you I like the characters having a history and easy affection for one another, with all sorts of little nods and inside jokes only they get because they've been a part of each other's lives for so long.

I also like the latter in a platonic way too, it's just nice to see people get along.

I don't have any friends that I've known since childhood, but I still love reading and writing about childhood friends who became lovers. It's just so cute and it makes me smile.

Your real life experience and your fantasy don’t have to line up, and that can go both ways. I too love the best friends to lovers trope, particularly if they also cohabitate. I recently read a fic with a line like, “Two people don’t live together for years without feelings being involved,” and nodded along like it’s some great truth, but I myself spent half the last decade living with my best friend and I’ve never wanted to date her.
