The relationship! I love reading about them, and write them is quite a joy too. But as I read it, I recently thought about relationships standard I want to see more-not because they are not already well represented, but simply because I have not come across them quite as much as I would like. So.

This is my mini-list of relationship I want to know more about:

• Healthy relationships. Easy (Tammara Webber) is a perfect perfect perfect example. I realized quite how much I love a love interest that respects consent and limits until I read this book, now I need more.
  
  In addition, there can never be too representation of healthy relationships, am I right? (I am).


• Bromances. I do love me my bromances, whether Sherlock & Watson, Captain Kirk and Spock, Professor X and Magneto and James Potter and Sirius-bromances are simply getting old. And unfortunately, most preferred examples I can think of immediately are movies and TV shows, because I really have not read enough of these.


• The relationships are not always (and okay). I read a book quite recently that did beautifully, but I will not say that because I do not want to spoil anything. Point is, I think it is important to represent the relationships that do not last forever, and the characters move on and survive and even happy, because every relationship is happily ever after. And this is quite normal.


• Relations with antagonists. I do not know about you guys, but I get tired of that, and I really do not see enough (recommendations are more than welcome). Antagonist relations not only make for uber-interesting read, but they also reveal a lot of depth in the antagonist, which complicates the whole plot and to me it is incredibly amazing. (For examples, by the way, see The Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo and Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge).
  
  NOTE: This not means abusive relationships. Relations with antagonists should not be unhealthy. unhealthy relationships are not preferable. Already.

Now you? What relationships more do you want to
