Pink = My first choices

Purple = My second choices

And the rest are my third choices

with my commentary, duh

Thanks for tagging me, @clownifornian 🖤!!

slowburn or love at first sight // I need to see the whole progression of their feelings, confession, and get-together for sure

fake dating or secret dating // something about them fake dating and accidentally falling in love, especially if they disliked each other before or only one of them had secret feelings, is so 👩‍🍳💋

enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // don’t get me wrong, I do love both tropes but damn if enemies-to-lovers doesn’t have a chokehold on me

there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // it’s just too good

hurt/comfort or amnesia // give me all of the hurt/comfort

fantasy au or modern au // they’re both equally great for me, I think

mutual pining or domestic bliss // love when they get all domestic and fluffy but the angst of mutual pining until they realize the other also has feelings is so much better

smut or fluff // BOTH

canon-compliant or fix-it // it always falls on y’all’s talented asses to fix what the original writers broke

reincarnation or character death // ANGST

one-shot or multi-chapter // give me all of them

kid fic or roadtrip fic // both, but I like a roadtrip fic a little more

arranged marriage or accidental marriage // this one’s just funnier to me

high-school romance or middle-age romance // it’s also great when the foundation starts building from high school but they don’t get together until they’re adults

time travel or isolated together // forced proximity and all that

neighbors or roommates // both tbh but yeah

sci-fi au or magic au // it’s much more fun, I think

body swap or genderbent // yes

angst or crack // also yes

apocalyptic or mundane // it’s just so interesting

happy ending or unhappy ending // you mean to tell me you want me to be devastated in both canon and fanon?

• fake dating or secret dating (i genuinely could not choose i love them both so much)

• enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers (i love both but enemies to lovers takes the cake here <3)

• there's only one bed or long-distance correspondence (can't go wrong with the classics lmao)

• hurt/comfort or amnesia (hurt/comfort is simply a human need.)

• fantasy au or modern au (you can take away coffee shop aus and college aus from my COLD. DEAD. HANDS. )

• mutual pining or domestic bliss (honestly they're both so cute <3)

• canon-compliant or fix-it (definitely canon-compliant but it depends on the fandom and the ship)

• reincarnation or character death (character death is so sad i can only deal with it if its temporary)

• one-shot or multi-chapter (trick question what if the one-shot is like 49k words long. anyway i love both i am NOT choosing)

• kid fic or road trip fic (KIDS FICS ARE SO CUTE I GENUINELY LOVE THEM. i will eat up accidental baby acquisition fics ANY day)

• arranged marriage or accidental marriage (accidental marriage is so silly and lighthearted. esp if it's between two rivals/enemies.)

• time travel or isolated together (forced proximity ml <3)

• neighbors or roommates (again, forced proximity 🔛🔝)

• sci-fi au or magic au (i dont often read either of these but i suppose we'll go with magic!)

• angst or crack (both? both is good)

• apocalyptic or mundane (i love apocalyptic fics but for the characters and ships i read, they honestly just deserve to take a break)

• happy ending or unhappy ending (yeah this is a no brainer)

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.

Liam has spent his whole life thinking he has to change and be different to be accepted and joining Scott's pack hasn't changed that: Liam still feels like he has to appear okay because that's what everyone expects of him.

And what happens is Theo comes along and is like "it's okay, you can stay here with me, just for a little while, you can stay here at rock bottom and catch your breath and then you can start climbing again, you can rest in my absence of expectation" and Liam BELIEVES him.

And what happens next is that Liam catches his breath and then stands up and takes Theo's hand and says "let's go back up" and when Theo tries to object because he is obviously convinced that he has no right to go back up Liam is like "it's okay, you can come with me, just for a little while, you can come back up and feel the real air and then you can go back down, you can breathe in my trust" and this time it's Theo who believes him.

Obviously Theo grew up with the dread doctors and basically had to do everything they told him to or there’d be consequences but I still think he went to school and stuff as he shows no signs of being isolated and how would the dread doctors have got there victims if Theo wasn’t practically picking them out for them which raises my point. That Theo could have been friends with the dread doctors past victims or chimeras that where deemed failures that the dread doctor just disposed of and that’s where the "Your friends are dead, and they're going to stay dead no matter what you do” comes from because maybe when Theo was younger he tried to save some of the victims or chimeras but didn’t know how and then had to watch them die. So from that point on Theo stopped getting to know the other chimeras down in the tunnels and making friends unless he really had to.

Liam doesn't want to trust Theo (he explicitly tells Scott right after he brought him out from hell), he doesn't want him near his pack, and he doesn't want to get involved with him.

The plan is simple: use Theo for what he knows and then let him run away.

And then Theo completely fucks up with his plan. Theo watches him for two minutes and understands everything, and Liam is NOT READY for this, especially in 6B.

Theo literally takes the tangle that is Liam's brain and rearranges everything into neat little colored boxes because that's how he is, and for the first time Liam manages to find a thread to follow, and he hates, HATES feeling in control only if Theo leads him.

In the locker room with Gabe, he distracts him, explains that it's revenge he doesn't really want, helps him understand that it's not anger but rather fear over what happened to Mason, reminds him of his pack's goal, and tells him he's doing GOOD even if he's not perfect yet. And at the zoo, he encourages his plan AND at the same time pulls him out of his impulsiveness by giving him an easy-to-follow plan. And when the plan fails, because Liam is not perfect, he protects him in another way, reassures him that he's done GOOD again, and explains that anger-fear thing to him.

Liam has lived in chaos his whole life, convinced that everything about him was simply unpredictable and that he could only accept it, and then Theo (who he's supposed to hate) comes along and shows him that there's NOTHING unpredictable about him, that he can control himself and do it well, and above all, that he can count on him for it.

Bruce: We need to contact Queen Hippolyta about Diana. But all of the Amazons are-

Jason, dialing a flip phone: Hey, Your Majesty. Bruce has something to ask. Yeah, sure, yes, totally, I can arrange that too. I'll hand you over and get that done.

Bruce, covering the phone: how do you have the Queen of Themyscira's phone number.

Jason: All residents of Themyscira do? I lived there for six months last year? I worked as Hippolyta's assistant? I told you this?

Bruce: But... There's no men allowed-
