a very common trope in byler fic is the description of smelling laundry detergent (or soap or dryer sheets) in each others’ clothes. I need to put quarters in a jar for every time someone breathes in and goes, huh, smells like (description of laundry detergent). I noted this early and keep finding it. I just read a super popular old fic from 2018 and THERE IT IS. “vaguely herbal undertones of the Wheeler’s dryer sheets in his clothes” THE CLOTHES ALWAYS SMELL NICE IN BYLER FIC, IN SUMMARY.
