TROPES: rivals to lovers
Rivalries turned romantic.
Overall, these relationships begin as competitive rivals or have clashing opposing goals. Rivals usually one-up, or in some circumstances, sabotage the other person.
(This trope is similar to “enemies to lovers”. So some of these relationships also start out as enemies in their rivalry, but all are rivals in some way.)
