I mean I SAY I love the ‘Enemies to Lovers’ trope but what I really MEAN is that I love the

‘Enemies to Resentful Allies In A Time Of Crisis to Grudging Mutual Respect to Growing Fondness Concealed By Snark to Hurtful Betrayal to Slow Reconciliation With A Greater Understanding Of Each Other to Strange But Solid Friendship to Unexpected Feelings In A Time Of Crisis to Denying Their Feelings While Growing Closer As Friends to Epiphanies Of Love In The Worst Possible Circumstances to Mutual Pining to Unbearable Sexual Tension to Lovers’

trope

YES wonderful delicious trope omg

@setepenre-set‘s Temptress (Roxanne) fulfills the full version of this quite awesomely–without any actual betrayal between the two but instead rather deftly maintaining the weird-awkward-wonderful trust that gets built up between two people on opposing sides. The world may hurt them but they don’t really ever hurt each other. 

I deeply appreciate that.
