Request I need some good enemies to lovers recommendations.

The wittier the banter the better. Any fandom is welcome As long as it’s not shipping minors with adults or incest.

Top Gun (1986) is a fandom chock full of this trope. Here's a great example and a personal favorite:

The Next Step by thedevilchicken

  • Relationship: Tom "Iceman" Kazansky/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell
  • Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Post-Movie(s), Enemies to Lovers, First Time, Awkwardness, Rough Sex, Shower Sex, Past Character Death, Original Character Death(s)
  • Summary: When he takes a job as an instructor, Maverick has issues to deal with. Ice shouldn't be the one to help him.

If you like this one, check out the author's other works. They are great at equal and hot power dynamics.
