Okay, what are the actual spellings of all of them?

I see both Philia and Phileo in particular.

Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.

What do you do if you have an example which covers all four types of love? I'm talking about the Yu Gi Oh fanfic There Is No Word, which has Yugi pondering the four types of love, how the people in his life fit into those types, and Atem, the one person who doesn't fit into any of the four categories.

In the book that gave this trope its name, C.S. Lewis describes Friendship/Affection as "two friends walking side by side" but differentiates Eros as "two people who are face to face", which fits with the Held Gaze description.

Would it be okay to link that here under Eros as a component of it or is it unnecessary? Any help for this would appreciated. :)

Danke!

Agape would probably be my choice. Phileo, the other major candidate, implies a Nakama style bond of friendship between people.

Is this really still a fanfic trope?
