Forget Friends To Lovers – People Are Sharing Their Favourite Ever "Annoyance To Lovers" Ships
Putting the "bug" in "love bug".
Ah, romance. Whether you're a rom-com fanatic or a true crime lover, I reckon we all have our favourite falling-in-love tropes.
Mine is accomplice to lovers, if anyone's asking.
Twitter user @ROMAJULlETTES reckons we should be thinking about different routes to romance, too. She recently asked Twitter users to share their fave "annoyance to lovers" ships – whether canonical or otherwise.
