About Neighbors
The romance next door: characters who share a wall, a hallway, or a fence and get tangled in each other's lives through borrowed sugar, loud music complaints, and packages delivered to the wrong unit. Proximity does the plotting.
Neighbor fic builds love out of recurring accidental contact, and readers adore the slow accumulation of excuses to knock on that particular door.
Common scenarios: Noise complaints about a cellist that turn into private concerts, or balcony gardens that grow toward each other along with their owners.
