“I will always want a life with you where every day is an adventure at your side where every dawn is incredible, so unique, every night your company will be the joy of every moment romantic and fun when it all started with a stolen kiss . ” (“Sempre vou querer uma vida com você onde todos os dias é uma aventura ao seu lado, onde todo amanhecer é incrível, tão único, todas as noites sua companhia será a alegria de cada momento romântico e divertido, quando tudo começou com um beijo roubado. ”)

Mark your love, to see how much you want a life with her. (Marque seu amor, pra ela ver o quanto você quer uma vida com ela.)

Imagine your OTP leaving little love notes for each other around the house.

(Bonus: Person A leaves really sweet, fluffy notes,

but B’s are suggestive and sometimes dirty.)

While Antonio plays ‘Flatter my Girlfriend’, Mary plays the dangerous ‘How Much Sexual Tension Is Too Much for my Boyfriend’ Both are good

How to create romantic couples with chemistry

Writing couples is both enchanting and exhausting. How do you make people ship your couple? How do you make them an OTP? How do you make your couple matter to the story? Or matter at all? To answer all these questions, I’ll explain three major must-have characteristics for couples:

1. Realism

Falling in love is a slow process. It’s different from person to person. People are flawed. Relationships are flawed. People make mistakes. People fear rejection. Not everyone will find their soulmate exactly when they need most. People show love in different ways. People are not flirty all the time. Realism is important. Development is essential. When writing a couple, visualize yourself as one of the characters (or both). Imagine their love story as if it was happening to you in real life. See how different it goes? Maybe not as fast and a thousand times clumsier, but also charming and interesting.

Example of strong realism: Carl and Ellie (UP), they take a lifetime to mature their love and mutual respect. Neither are perfect. The relationship goes through bad times, but their love only grows.

Example of weak realism: Caine and Jupiter (Jupiter Ascending), they fall in love in two or three days, not enough scenes are dedicated to developing the relationship. In the end, it feels strange. 

2. Balance

Give your couple opposite but complementary features. This is basically the Yin-yang symbolism that a lot of stories shows. If one character is all love-and-peaceful, maybe the other is a furnace of anger. If one traveled the whole world, maybe the other never left their village. If one is a millionaire, maybe the other is homeless. If one is short with dark hair, maybe the other is tall with light hair. However, no matter how opposite they are, always keep the balance. One shouldn’t overshadow the other. They must shine together, but also as individuals.

Example of strong balance: Fix-it Felix Jr. and Sargent Calhoun (Wreck-It Ralph), they belong to different worlds, they would probably never meet. He is a sweet pie that always tries his best, a peacemaker. She is, on the other hand, an explosion, a warrior. They are both relevant in achieving victory. Also, both are the heroes of their own games.

Example of weak balance: Sasuke and Sakura (Naruto), he is way more powerful than her, he doesn’t respect her as a ninja, he doesn’t like working with her. He tried killing her more than once and was never sorry about that. She accepts being overshadowed. She lacks character development compared to Sasuke. There is no opposite-complementary features tying them. It’s unbalanced.

3. Synergy

Make them work together. Make them accomplish common goals. Make them a power duo. Make them laugh of the same jokes. Make it easy and natural for them to be together, talking, sharing and having a good time. Make their conversations flow. Make it easy to touch, and stare, and embrace, and kiss. Make their mind and body work together.

Example of strong synergy: Cat Noir and Ladybug/Adrien and Marinette (Miraculous Ladybug), they are the heroes of Paris. No, they are partners in saving the world. It doesn’t feel uncomfortable when they interact, fight and save each other. It feels right. It feels natural. You crave for interactions.

Example of weak synergy: Kim Tan and Eun-Sang (The Heirs), they are the type of couple that are always fighting, but sometimes indulge in a passionate kiss. However, there’s no synergy between these characters. They are never on the same page. They are never partners. The magic of their relationship never sparkles. Even their kisses are uncomfortable to watch.

Now, think of your favorite couples (even non-canon ones) and try spotting the realism, the balance and the synergy in them. If you ship it,I’m pretty sure it’s there. 

Try applying these characteristics to your next writing.

You know what I wish was in more smut fics? Kissing.

I don’t just mean on the lips, or erogenous zones, or anywhere particularly interesting. Like, the person doing the kissing isn’t even really focused on The Endgame of Sex, “get in, get off, get out.”

They aren’t even done undressing, even, and Person A is just smothering Person B’s shoulders, cheeks, neck with kisses. Like, little innocent pecks, big and wet open-mouthed kisses. Temples, eyebrows, the palms of their hands, what ever. Person A just loves B so much that they just can’t stop themselves from kissing B all over the place.

Just. Very, very affectionate, loving sex with endless kissing before, during, and after the actual act. And Person B just soaking it all up, laughing, batting at A playfully, because, come on, A, stop teasing, but like, secretly they like it, and yeah, it’s adorable and come on people let’s put more kissing in these fics.

hc: Junkrat’s idea of love is messed up but he wants it even if he has to pay for it. Roadhog is just very confused but won’t complain.
