“rpf is fine” – tom hanks

praise kink - A, i love this shit i eat it upppppp. Irl words of affirmation make me want to shrivel and die but in fic?? Deploying a "good boy" strategically in sex?? Absolutely, more more more

dubcon - my first D... it does depend on the situation and the level it's happening on. Like if it's light/vague i'm more likely to enjoy the fic in general. But nawt my fave tbh

oooooooh ok

strangers to lovers - B i reckon!! Solid, can be very fun in a good au, lacks the nuance of established friendship/relationship beforehand but has a lot of potential for varying dynamics

colleagues to lovers - B too i think? What if we were both in corporate hell 👉👈 together 👉👈 idk if i read this one a lot, unless f1 rpf counts as colleagues lmaoo? In which case i read it way too much maybe

friends to lovers - A+++++++++ x10000000000!!!!!! THAT'S THE STUFF THAT'S THE STUFF RIGHT THEREEEEE. it's about the established trust, shared memories and experience, a foundation of love long before it becomes romantic. Fuuuuuck oh my god. My favourite trope in the entire world

i went to bed in the middle of answering these sorry!!!

C ;_; this makes me so SAD i'm sorry this makes me so sad. ok maybe it's a B. bc sometimes i like to be sad. and it can be done (and has been done!!) so deliciously, and of course the dynamic it creates in the relationship is so nuanced and interesting. and yeah, okay, who doesn't love a second chance romance. and yeah, okay, it can be amazing when the breaking up-getting back together is a speed run bc the breakup was a bad decision. and it can be amazing when there are years between the breaking up and making up. and also! do we classify a long-ago hookup as this trope? what counts as being together to then break up............. much to think about. FUNDAMENTALLY HOWEVER it makes me SAD! sorry ;_;

He’ll look at George the way he’s doing now; eyes heavy, half-lidded, who the fuck cares if he’s giving a guy the once over, he’s Max Verstappen, he’ll survive the nuclear apocalypse along with the cockroaches in George’s flat in Brackley and Helmet fucking Marko.
