yes! my basic idea is that instead of getting together like kristen and rob did, they had more of a long-running will they or won't they kind of relationship in the media thanks to a mix of them actually being close friends who hung out often, their pr teams encouraging them to play up being coupley up here and there, and lots of fan speculation. i'm open to them having hooked up casually at some point too for added drama, but that's totally not necessary and either way, i was thinking they never actually became an official couple. i thought it might be interesting if they had a falling out or drifted apart post-twilight because the intense scrutiny on their friendship was too much and their fans were getting super invasive, and maybe if they were in relationships with other people during or immediately after filming, all of the madness was causing a strain on those too. and as for the present, i'm open to them either reconciling a while back or currently working toward it!
