You share the same interests approached from opposite angles — each of you polishes what the other produces.
What it feels like
Like working with a sharp editor. They care about what you care about, but keep correcting your emphasis — usefully, mostly.
Where it works
Collaboration on shared projects, study partners, giving each other rigorous feedback.
Where it strains
Neither of you supplies what the other is genuinely missing, and the constant mutual correcting can tire a close relationship.
