I absolutely ADORE the 'unexpected' romance.
The one that you absolutely do not see coming. The ones with violence, hurdles, complications. Always having downsides as well as upsides, and obstacles they have to overcome to being together.
Building, rather than just instantly happening.
Could be weeks of witty banter.
Could be two characters that have been best friends their whole life and are forced into a situation where thy have to understand their feelings for one another.
Could be people that are enemies, where the same happens. They are forced together by the fates and things happen.
The romances I love, are the ones where you can all but HEAR your character in your head going 'nope. nope. this isn't going to fucking happen. nope.'
Though I do agree with Shofie. A stark contrast/clash in personalities/size/interests etc makes for interesting relationships and is seriously fun to play out!
