About Roommates
Characters sharing an apartment, dorm, or impractically small flat, where proximity does the romantic heavy lifting. Shared kitchens, thin walls, and borrowed hoodies turn cohabitation into a slow ambush of domesticity.
The trope front-loads intimacy — they already live together — and lets the feelings catch up, which means readers get domestic fluff and pining simultaneously.
Common scenarios: Strangers matched by a housing lottery who start cooking for two without discussing it, or best friends splitting rent until one of them brings home a date and the other discovers jealousy.
