Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the enemies...turned lovers.
In this mini-series, we'll dive into what makes the Enemies to Lovers tag tick. From loathing to lust, literature to fic, this first episode explores the background of what makes feuds change to fondness.
Why do we love what we hate?

We read fanfic and we don't judge...
So this episode can be marked under RPF: Real Problematic Fanfic. Which is to say that inspiration has struck these authors straight from the headlines and we felt it was necessary to dive in. Just remember....it's fanfic until proven guilty.
