Relationship Options

- Option 2: Adversaries to lovers 12
- Option 3: It's complicated 11
Okay, I am starting to poke some new ideas. I know my next scifi is going to feature humans dragged onto an alien ship. But I have so many relationship options that I'm not sure which one to use, because I want to write all of them. What do you like and if you want to drop a comment, I would definitely take that seriously. I have already clearly gotten the message that y'all want healthy relationships, so any feelings will develop naturally.
Option 1: Friends to enemies to lovers.
Van and Mahlon went to military academy together. Mahlon sided with the rebels, so they are then enemies. When they get pulled into the alien ship, they have a common enemy to come together.
Option 2: Adversaries to lovers
Van and Mahlon are competitors running mining ships. They are professional competitors, but they have no personal relationship other than pranks and mild forms of sabotage against one another as they try to get to the 'big score' before the other. When they get captured by the alien ship, they have to work together.
Option 3: It's complicated
Van and Mahlon are refugees from a fallen Earth. Van was chosen to evacuate. Mahlon stole a ship to get himself and his people off the planet. Mahlon hates Van and what he stands for before they are forced to work together.
