Hear me out:
Lovers to enemies >>> enemies to lovers
I absolutely adore two characters who won’t relinquish their values/ambitions to their affection for the other. Who despite their love can never be together because neither will forfeit their stance
The lover to enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers again arch

Yeah, it’s not super common. I honestly see it more in serial TV shows than books. Let me see if I can scavenge up some examples

It gets so dark, violent, and graphic. Check the trigger warning. Very good read but be warned
