![]() Author has written 12 stories for Twilight. Friends to Lovers Twific Contest “I realized I’m in love. It's always been right in front of me.” - Richelle Mead Love comes sweetest when it's slow, but there's something to be said for falling so fast you can't control it. Whether it's Edward finding the courage to finally go after Bella, or Emmett having an epiphany about his attraction to Rosalie, we want to see friends that realize they don't want just friendship. We want to see the change from 'I love you' to 'I'm in love with you'. We want to see the beginning, the middle, and the type of love that won't end. Any pairing, any setting, anything that involves the moment of realizing they want more.
