Slow burn
Every glance counts. Every delay makes it sweeter.
Tropes
Start from a trope you love.
The romances you come back to again and again. Pick one, choose a ready-made set-up, and make it yours.
Friends to lovers
They know each other by heart. Now they learn each other again.
Enemies to lovers
All that friction had to go somewhere.
Forced proximity
Nowhere to go. Nowhere else they would rather be.
Workplace romance
Strictly professional. Until it isn't.
Fated mates
As if they were always meant to meet. And both of them say yes.
Second chance
They let each other go once. Not this time.
Fake dating
It was only supposed to be pretend.
Only one bed
One room. One bed. A very long night.

Questions
- Which tropes can I choose?
- Any trope you can describe: name it in your idea. Or start from one of the tropes on this page, each with ready-made ideas.
- Will every trope story feel the same?
- No. The trope gives the shape; your characters, setting, point of view and heat level make it yours.
- Can I combine tropes?
- Yes. Describe both in your idea, for example rivals who end up snowed in together.
