#trope asks

Sex Pollen: A++++++++++ top of the Tier A/U. I will read sex pollen of ships I don't even like. FUCK, I will read Sex pollen of Eddie Diaz fucking people I do like! I don't care. Give it to me. All day, every day. Bonus if it's got a stench of non-con on it. Mmm. Yes. But also bonus if it's "we love each other and this is just us being forced to admit it. "ALL FLAVORS. IT'S ICE CREAM. THERE ARE NO BAD FLAVORS.

Fuck or Die: A+! Solid A! Also yes. Separately and in addition to Sex Pollen. If it's more Pon Farr like? Or "Fuck or we will kill you?" Allllllll the better. Bullet proof kink. I will also read this about people I otherwise don't give a shit about. I do prefer this one to lean into its natural Dub Con nature, though.

Coffee shop AU--I'll give this one a C. I get the appeal, especially if the source material is something like sci-fi or high fantasy that's completely the opposite of a coffee shop AU, but it's not something I actively seek out to read for myself.

Fix-it

Hurt/comfort

Soulmate au

Whump

YAY thank you!

Fix-It: A , solid A . A++ even. The bigger the canon disaster the better the fixing. I love a tragedy and I love ninety billion fics explaining how That Never Happened, They're FIIIIIIIINE XD

Hurt/Comfort: ah, one of Schroedinger's Tropes-- the fic will either be exactly what i want, or make me back button immediately, for ephemeral and mysterious reasons even I cannot entirely explain. A and F, somehow , both at once.

Soulmate AU: solid C? generally the ones I like are the ones interrogating the premise, and that's a lot of them! So it depends on the author pulling that off, or doing something else fun and weird with it, but a lot do!

You both miss the bus and try to catch it together and then you start talking while you wait for the next bus

Person A finds person Bs wallet with their phone number on it in the subway, and after calling to return it sparks fly at the station

haha, that's actually one of my least favorite tropes, and I've only written it a couple times bc one of my best friends asked me to bc she loves it and I love her. 😅 So I can't say 0% chance of me writing it, but very low odds it'll happen again unless Rhi asks again xD I don't outright hate it, it just doesn't do anything for me so there's lots of other things I'd rather write.

Ooof.

Okay, that's a real tough one. I don't think I've come across that one yet, so I don't really know... It should be my jam, considering that I do enjoy some Angst etc. And I mean, I know for a fact that I am going to write a variation of it so on that account alone I should rate it highly but...

C.

(Really trying to give you the range here 😂)

Mistaken Identity: C

…I don't know that I have ever read a mistaken identity fic on purpose, and I am totally drawing a blank on whether I've read it at all? In fanfic, I mean, obviously I have read it in fiction generally. I'm sure I'm forgetting something and you will remind me what it is lol.

Unrequited Love: A

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. Obviously as an Aldflaed shipper this is something I am into, but I truly live for when the love remains unrequited indefinitely/permanently, or when the affections the characters have for each other are mismatched in some way. It's prime angst, especially if there is a foundation of trust and/or other types of love. FLAMING ELMO DOT GIF!!

Pregnancy Fic: D

I don't read fluff so I think that eliminates a lot of pregnancy fic, and I will very quickly nope out of a fic if pregnancy is handled in a way that's unrealistic or annoying. I hate when authors apply a modern medical understanding of pregnancy to historical settings, that makes me insane lol. And I don't enjoy the way gender is often treated when it comes to fics that feature pregnancy, so very often it's just not my cup of tea.

Not sure if this makes sense tho, also not sure if it's an actual trope.

Also, what do you think about tropes where a non-human whumper is taking the human whumpee as a pet?.

Im writing both currently in the same fic and i wanted to hear the opinion of somebody as good as you at writing whump

Huge fan of any forced to hurt scenario. good stuff there.
