[quote="AmethystFae"][quote="VampireNaomi"]I have nothing against villain romances, but I have a problem with that many of these fics redeem them through true love. There's this fanfic called "Love's a Bug" by Mica West in which Mechanikles falls in love with Jasmine's cousin Myranah. I think it's a really cute story (the interaction between Mechy and Myranah is funny) but in the end they get married (after knowing each other for one day :? ) and Mechanikles turns good, just like that.

On the other hand, there's this Mozenrath fic in which he gets married, but the woman is evil too. I really liked the lack of the redemption factor.[/quote]

Now see, I have a problem with both scenarios.

Like I said, falling in love doesn't turn you into a girl scout. I think Mozenrath, Mechanicles, or whomever would be reluctant to change their evil ways. Those things don't happen just because the person's fallen in love.

On the other hand, I loathe the football player/cheerleader romances. That is to say, I hate how people think that everybody is going to end up with someone just like them. It doesn't work like that. Did Aladdin marry a fellow street rat? No. He married a princess, and that's part of what made their relationship so strong. They came from two separate worlds, yet they were able to triumph over adversity. If the first and second party of a couple are so damned alike that everybody expects them to get together, who cares? I prefer the "beat all odds" types of relationships. The "Dispite their differences, and the world in which they live, they made it through." Or, if failing that, the couples who are in the process of fighting those battles.
