CRAZYYY CHEMISTRY — Couples that get me a bit insane

Not straightforward. sharp and emotionally tense. Silence and stares do A LOT.
Sexual tension is DELICIOUS, without being explicit (charged stares, push & pull etc)
PAINFULLY SLOW BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT GUD
esp ML. There’s a lot of layers to their relationship + internal struggles.
Manipulation and toxic behavior. ML is OBSESSED with FL.

Intelligent leads. Assertive FL. Hurt/comfort.
Platonic relationship despite adversity at first. Gradual development + time skip.
Loved how attracted they're to e/o and how effortless their intimacy is
Tan ML with golden eyes he's so FINEEE. They look so good together.
Palpable, unresolved emotional tension after time skip. Pining from FL at first.
They literally act domestic before even dating I love them SO MUCHH

witty and engaging banter for the win!!
Marriage of convenience. Natural progression of their relationship over time. There r misunderstandings tho but also personal growth.
Not sexual, romantic tension. Heated arguments and all that stuff but it's so good.
Both think they aren't destined together bc ya know...Changing the og novel trope.
FL is proactive and bold, ML is more reserved.
A self-respecting lovecom. It’s funny af

Love the banter and verbal sparring between them. They mostly interact during high-stakes scenarios so it's fun to read about.
They get closer gradually -- FL is cautious at first, but they grow from neutral allies to partners with mutual respect and understanding.
From ML's part.
FL is the cautious, analytical type (understandably so). ML is bolder and unpredictable.

Great dialogues as they get to know each others. Proper communication.
Their relationship grows gradually along w trust and emotional intimacy. Their dynamic is so HEART-FLUTTERING AND MATURE UGHH I GOT BUTTERFLIES.
Love how tall FL is, and I absolutely fancy ML's with scars so this won me over.
Mutual pining, satisfying
SWEEEET my heart melted. It's a great historical rom-com.
