I swear if LF had actually invested in adapting Lukemara to the screen from the start and thus giving it mainstream visibility the entire Internet would be obsessed with it because it has every cliche thing fandoms foam at the mouth over:
-dramatic enemies-to-lovers plotline
-grumpy/sunshine dynamic
-jaded assassin who is hot falls in love with the golden boy hero with a dark streak who is also hot
-a ridiculous amount of flirtatious bickering
-refusing to verbally communicate their feelings so they spend far too long overcompensating for their emotional constipation by repeatedly saving each other's lives
-a lot of mutual whump (both mental and physical)
-they literally did the "PUT ME DOWN I CAN WALK" trope at one point
-everybody knows they're obsessed with each other except them
-family/friends attempt to play matchmaker with disastrous yet somehow successful results
-they have an intense emotional psychic bond which means that they are both drift compatible in a crisis and highly inappropriate with each other at the worst possible moments
-they have superpowers so their baby also has superpowers
-years of repressed feelings erupting during a life or death crisis
-spontaneous marriage proposal during said life or death crisis
-mutually protective morons
-"If you want to get to him you have to get through me first"
-acting like an old married couple long before actually getting married
-he gives her an item of great emotional significance at a crucial turning point in the storyline, signaling his feelings for her, which she does not pick up on right away thus leading to years of confusion and dating a bunch of random people who are obviously not the endgame
-misplaced jealousy that is resolved during an argument about their exes that is kind of objectively stupid and they both know it
-I AM HIS WIFE AND YOU WILL PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME RIGHT NOW OR I AM GOING TO BEAT YOU UP (FOR THE THIRD TIME)
Anyway I could go on but you get the picture
