About Strangers to Lovers
Two people with no history meet and build a relationship from zero on the page. Common in AUs where canon characters who know each other are reintroduced as strangers, giving writers the rare pleasure of a true first impression.
Every discovery is new — names, scars, histories — and readers get to fall for the characters in step with the characters falling for each other.
Common scenarios: Seatmates on a delayed international flight who talk for eleven straight hours, or a bookshop regular and the new clerk who keeps mis-shelving their favorite section.
