Let's say there's a love story where a man has had a crush on his coworker for a long time. One day, they are alone in the elevator. As the elevator doors close and they are in this small space together, he feels butterflies in his stomach. He can smell her perfume and he's so close to her. He's worried about saying the wrong thing but also excited about this unexpected moment alone with her.
Sure. There's the story of a man who thought he had found his soulmate. They were engaged, planning their future together. But on the day of their wedding, his fiancée left him a letter saying she was leaving with another man. It was completely unexpected and hit him like a stomach punch.
In a love story, 'butterflies in stomach' usually means the feeling of nervousness and excitement. When someone is in love, they might feel this way when they are around the person they like, like their heart beats faster and they feel a bit jittery.
Sure. In a fanfic set in an office environment, an employee is really hungry during an important meeting. Their stomach growls, and everyone in the meeting can hear it. This makes the boss stop the meeting and offer some snacks. Then, while sharing the snacks, the employees start to bond better and share some office secrets, which changes the whole dynamic of the office later on.
One example could be in a romantic movie where the male lead is a wealthy businessman. His wealth and power play a significant role in the love story. The female lead is initially attracted to his luxurious lifestyle and the security his wealth can offer. This shows how capitalist values like wealth and status can be incorporated into a love story.
Perhaps a story where a war veteran and a nurse fall in love. The veteran has seen the brutality of war and has become hardened. The nurse has also witnessed the ugliness of pain and suffering. Their love grows out of their shared experiences of dealing with difficult situations. It's not a love filled with roses and chocolates but a bond formed through understanding and mutual respect in a very tough situation.
There's also the story of King Kong. Kong is a giant beast, but he forms an attachment to the female lead. His love for her is shown through his protectiveness. Despite being a huge and fearsome beast, he has a tender side when it comes to her. This is a very different kind of love story, with a 'beastly' element at its core.
One example could be a story where a young girl helps a blind boy cross the street every day. Over time, they develop a deep connection and it turns into a 'White Love Story' as their love is based on kindness and selflessness.
One example could be in the movie 'The Proposal'. The female lead is facing deportation, so she convinces her assistant to enter into a fake engagement contract with her. They have to pretend to be in love in front of the immigration officers. But as they go through the motions of living together and meeting each other's families, they actually fall in love for real.
Here's another example. A man and a woman who first connected through an online book club. Their love's back story involves the books they discussed, the virtual meetings they had, and the moment when they decided to meet in person. All these events from their past are part of the story of their love.
Sure. In the movie 'La La Land', Sebastian and Mia have an 'almost love story'. They meet, fall in love, and support each other's dreams. But as they pursue their respective careers, they gradually drift apart. They still love each other in a way, but their relationship doesn't stay as a traditional love story. In the end, they have a bittersweet moment of reminiscing about what could have been.
