!!! Thank u for the tag @raekenyounot <3
Favorite Tropes (n thoughts) 🤔 Let’s see…
slowburn or love at first sight - hmmm. starting off confused bc i’m not the biggest fan of either? slow burn if it’s done well, love at first sight only if their stupid about it.
fake dating or secret dating - secret dating 👀 i love the sneaking around… the angst potential… the reveal…
enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers - if i HAVE to pick im going best friends to lovers BUT i love them almost the same.
there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence - Long distance!!!! the yearning… the phone calls.. the letters… (also it’s 100% possible to share a bed completely platonically? i know it’s for the trope.. but like.. i struggle to suspend my disbelief)
hurt/comfort or amnesia - hurt/comfort!! It’s delicious!! i get my angst AND my fluff? all in one place? how could i say no?
fantasy au or modern au - You’d think with how much i love magic systems i’d pick fantasy here. Nope. Modern Aus have my heart (for the group chats…and the collages au’s…)
mutual pining or domestic bliss - mutual pining is only funny for so long before i get irritated and want them to be happy. domestic bliss almost always hits the spot.
smut or fluff - look. look. i love my fluff as much as the next guy. HOWEVER- smut.
canon-compliant or fix-it - FIX IT FICS MY BELOVEDS!!!!! Its so so interesting to me. Lets look at exactly where this went horribly wrong and make it better. (or worse who knows)
reincarnation or character death - reincarnation!!! what if we knew each other in every life. what if i hurt you and you hurt me and it’s all in the past but we still remember it. what if only i remember. would you love me again? when you know how badly we end???
one-shot or multi-chapter - how could i possibly choose??? I’m going to pick a theoretical middle ground and go with long one-shots
kid fic or road trip fic - road! trip! fics! let’s put ALL of these characters in a small box or on the road and see how long it takes for something to go wrong.
arranged marriage or accidental marriage - accidental! but not by much, mostly for the comedic potential. (the potential angst factor of arranged makes this close..)
high-school romance or middle-age romance - middle-aged! but especially if they knew each other in high-school/uni etc. the 'what if we had both lived our lives and we kept coming back together.' or the ‘i wish i’d met/knew you before’ of it all
time travel or isolated together - time travel 🙂↕️ because what if i knew what could happen to you and i tried my best to fix it and you dont even remember me. You're right in front of me but the version of you i loved is gone. what if i tried so hard to fix it and nothing worked. what it i made it worse.
neighbors or roommates - neighbors because my roommates annoyed me deeply the first year i had any. also the idea of just showing up on a sofa in a flat they dont even live in, the 'can i borrow sugar' or 'turn the fucking music down' of it all. same building, different spaces.
sci-fi au or magic au - magic au all the way (mosly). i love my magic systems always have always will
body swap or genderbent - now this one is mostly because i like the idea of character a waking up in character b's body and going 'what in the everloving fuck how do you live like this
angst or crack - statistically, angst wins this by a long shot. and i like angst. i like the hurt. crack will always hold a place in my heart. but angst wins this
apocalyptic or mundane - mundane, i like to see how the characters function on a day-to-day life. most of the characters i like are competent enough that an apocolypse wouldnt phase them, but a grocery run? dinner with the in-laws? hah
happy ending or unhappy ending - im a sucker for a happy ending, an all's well that ends well.
