One way is by having them face family opposition. Maybe their families have different political views or old feuds. Standing up for their relationship against all odds can strengthen their bond. They could also communicate through letters at first. This old - fashioned way of communication can be very romantic. As they exchange their thoughts and feelings in writing, they start to develop feelings for each other before they even meet in person.
Communication also plays a big role. They might have deep conversations during their honeymoon. Maybe they talk about their future together, like having a family. This makes their bond stronger as they start to plan their lives as a couple.
The relationship can start with a chance encounter. For example, Bella could accidentally bump into Edward at a high - society event that he is attending for business reasons. Their initial attraction can be based on physical appearance and a sense of mystery. Then, as they start to talk more, they discover shared interests like a love for classic literature or a certain type of music.
You can develop their relationship further by adding more challenges. For instance, introduce a character who is jealous of their relationship and tries to drive them apart. This could test their love and loyalty to each other. They would then have to fight for their relationship, which would strengthen their bond in the end.
One way is through the use of humor. For example, they could constantly try to one - up each other in ridiculous ways, like Edward changing all the books in the library to face the wrong way just to annoy Bella who loves order in the library. Another interesting development could be through the introduction of a common enemy. They might be forced to put aside their hatred when a bigger threat, like a new vampire or a bully in school, emerges. They gradually realize that they are not so different after all while fighting this common foe.
Well, it becomes more platonic. There's no romantic tension between them like in the original. Instead, there could be a sense of loyalty and family - based love.
In this fanfiction, the relationship between Bella and Edward is turned on its head. Bella's role is now to shape Edward's character from a young age. Their interactions will be less about the intense passion of the original story and more about the tender, sometimes difficult, bond between a mother and son. She might worry about his future, his choices, and his safety in a way that is very different from the love - based concerns in the original narrative.
Their relationship develops as Edward imparts his knowledge to Bella. Since he's her master, he has a certain authority. But as time passes, Bella might start to question some of his decisions, which adds tension and also deepens their relationship as they work through these issues.
At first, it might be a bit rocky. Since the marriage is by treaty, they may be a bit wary of each other. But as they start spending time together, they could begin to discover common interests. For instance, they might both be interested in a particular type of literature or music, which helps to break the ice.
They could start by sharing more of their cultures. Ariel could teach Eric about the different species in the ocean, and Eric could introduce Ariel to the ways of his land. This would deepen their understanding and love for each other.
They could start by sharing their dreams and fears. For example, Bella could tell Hunter about her insecurities in the cheerleading world, and Hunter could open up about his pressure in football. This would create a deeper emotional connection. Another way is through joint adventures like going on a road trip for a football game in another town and facing various challenges together on the way.
