I just want them to fight over something real and not just over a miscommunication. The book that I first think about when reading this post was the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning, which has an incredible slow building romance were the main character fight a lot and eventually fall in love. It's so well doen and you really feel the tension.

Elizabeth and Darcy are the quintessential couple for it because, despite their inherent differences and disagreements, they respected each other enough to be civil. Just like Bellarke respect each other enough to (privately) apologize, admit uncertainty, etc without the other holding it against them. It's this basic desire to support each other, even just socially, underneath all the bickering, that makes it sexycakes in my opinion.*<br /><br /><br />* That being said, my man and I have never had a fight, in 2.5 years.

There's just something fun about watching two characters with two different perspectives fight it out, escalating the tension between them until they can do nothing but act on their attraction to one another. I think, in fact, part of the attraction lies in the challenge, the way that the other person is able to make them rethink something or think differently. Just thinking about it is making me smile!<br /><br />I basically nodded at most of your book couples. They have the best bantery relationships ever, ever, ever.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-18220259326190839932014-12-12T09:05:17.821-05:002014-12-12T09:05:17.821-05:00This post gives me life, but you know this is basi...This post gives me life, but you know this is basically my #1 fave kind of ship anyway.

There's Percy and Annabeth, Zach and Cammie (Gallagher Girls), Lilac and Tarver (These Broken Stars), Leah and Grayson (Such a Rush), Cecile and Tristan (Stolen Songbird). I could go on forever! I also really love Aurora and Niklaas from Princess of Thorns, which I finished during the weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-10313574042438956902014-12-08T15:56:35.466-05:002014-12-08T15:56:35.466-05:00"I will stop your mouth." <- forever ..."I will stop your mouth." <- forever swoon<br /><br />Unless you're BIngley and Jane, you're going to fight sometimes, and unless they have some fights and get through them, how do you know that you can? Plus, I generally think talking things out will be more effective than the Bing and Jane method of making assumptions and almost missing out for stupid reasons. <br /><br />Funny how I like all of these things.

I might like Knightley and Emma just a teeeensy bit more than Darcy and Elizabeth, at least the movie version, because he's so delightfully snarky with her. And they just really bounce off of each other. <br /><br />"You didn't ask me to contribute a riddle, Emma." <br />"Your whole personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified."<br /><br />Ron and Hermione, Micah and Lainey, Blue and Gansey, Belle and the Beast! Yessss! I'd also add Tiana and Naveen from Princess and the Frog. Love. Them.

I'm a sucker for happy endings. <br />I dislike arguments when the two are supposedly in love but say really awful, hurtful things to each other. Some words cannot be unsaid.<br />Darcy & Lizzy are the best, right?

I personally ship passionate couples too, a lot more than cutesy relationships where everything's all sunshine and rainbows and heart eyes. Because they honestly make for some of the best banter and chemistry, and my ship feels go BERSERK. <br /><br />ALSO BELLARKE! <3 Awesome post!!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293357219620772934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-35742305918932666592014-12-07T22:55:58.099-05:002014-12-07T22:55:58.099-05:00OMG.
