Not my favorite trope, but maybe I like it more than I think. A list of ships consisting of characters who started as friends and became lovers/romantically involved (or I WISH).
- Mulder/Scully (X-Files)
- Clark/Chloe (Smallville)
- Lee-Leng/Kajika (Hanasakeru Seishounen)
- Logan/Veronica (sort of; friends to enemies to lovers)
- Mugen/Fuu, Jin/Fuu, Mugen/Fuu/Jin (Samurai Champloo)
- Draco/Theo (HP)
- Holder/Linden (The Killing)
- Caleb/Spencer (PLL)
- Carrie/Quinn (Homeland)
- Arata/Chihaya/Taichi (Chihayafuru)
