Bwahaha! I'm going to run home and write that in my copy of Ivanhoe.
Which is my way of saying I agree. It's the difference between watching a relationship build between two people in the way it can build, and using what is sort of a version of the fanfic "magical bond" idea--they just were "in love" at first sight so we know they're meant to be together. "In love" isn't really defined except by being this true concept that's as real as being diabetic or dyslexic or from New Jersey. It's a given that's supposed to inform everything about the relationship rather than the love describing the specific relationship you're reading about.
