About Grumpy x Sunshine
One partner is a scowling thundercloud, the other an incorrigible ray of light, and the sunshine one is usually the only person the grump can't manage to scare off. The grump's gradual softening — visible to everyone but themselves — is the engine of the trope.
Readers live for the tell: the grump's first reluctant smile, the snapped 'I don't like anyone' followed immediately by an exception, the warmth they'd deny under oath.
Common scenarios: A surly mercenary trailed across a continent by a bard who writes songs about him, or a perpetually cheerful new hire slowly colonizing the office grouch's lunch breaks.
