Tell me about your characters best friends and found family! Their dynamic, how they met, how well they work together, whether they're sweet and loving or constantly bickering. I want em all!! I'll start so you can have an example:

My favorite dynamic for any of my stories has to be my power trio, Jordan, Rome, and David. They don't have any particularly touching or sweet moments, but they all clearly love each other. All of them have powers and all of them are skilled with a certain weapon (David with a knife, Rome with a bo staff, and Jordan with a bat). They work really well off each other and I have so many incredible scenes where they're just out there kicking ass and taking names.

My absolute top dynamic is Bane and Jules. They are complete opposites but work together so well. Bane is more of the brute, and Jules is a softie. They met in the rain after Bane fled from hell (Cerberus was a bad father). Bane was weary of Jules but trusted him after a while. They may have different solutions, but when they find one that sticks, they work in harmony. They are in the middle while they can be sweet and loving, sometimes they have small arguments. My favorite moments when Bane says something sarcastic or jokingly in serious meetings and Jules scolds him. Jules rarely fights, so Bane protects him in dire situations.

Both have a common understanding of powers. Bane has a mix of canine and demon abilities while Jules can use basic magic and white magic. Both also use their weapons, even though Jules doesn't fight often. Bane uses an umbra sword, a sword whose blade is forged of shadow. Jules uses a staff made of his white magic.

They have many badass and heartfelt scenes and have a bond that holds them together. At the end of the story, they are in a relationship.

My absolute top dynamic is Bane and Slate. They are complete opposites but work together so well. Bane is more of the brute, and Slate is a softie. They met in the rain after Bane fled from hell (Cerberus was a bad father). Bane was weary of Slate but trusted him after a while. They may have different solutions, but when they find one that sticks, they work in harmony. They are in the middle while they can be sweet and loving, sometimes they have small arguments. My favorite moments when Bane says something sarcastic or jokingly in serious meetings and Slate scolds him. Slate rarely fights, so Bane protects him in dire situations.

God bless friends to lovers, honestly. They sound like such a great relationship to write!
