Mutual pining is great, but you know what's even better? Mutual pining where they're both fully aware the feelings are requited, they just can't do anything about it for other reasons. Or maybe they technically could but they've had to choose not to, because of The Circumstances.

getting characters into world-endingly intense codependent queerplatonic relationships is literally what life is all about. it is literally what we were put here on this earth to do

[lovelylogans]

is there such a thing as a beta but instead of reading for line edits or plot notes, they just read my work and recommend what tags to put on ao3 outside of like. warnings.

Lulu's Totally Unofficial Guide to the Top 10 Freeform Tags to Add to Your Fanfic

Genre - Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Slice of Life, Case Fic, etc.

AU - If it's an AU, what kind? What role do each of the characters play? How is it different to their canon role?

Parts of canon - If it's not an AU, what part of canon is it about? Is it set before, during or after a particular episode?

Themes - Are there any topics or ideas which you are trying to explore, or which come up repeatedly?

Minor Warnings - Is there anything you think you should warn for that isn't included in the archive warnings?

Format & Length - Is your work art, video, podfic, etc? Does it use a particular format like a Drabble or 5+1?

Characters - What is going on with each of your major characters? If you had to describe them with one or two adjectives, what would you pick? (Format as [Adjective] [Character Name].)

Relationships - What is going on with each of your major relationships? Are there any relationship tropes like Slow Burn or Enemies to Lovers in your story?

Tropes - Are there any tropes or common story elements in your story that haven't been tagged yet? If your work was on TV tropes, what are the first things you would add?

Sex - If your work includes sex, what kink(s) and specific act(s) does it involve?

Remember: you can always look at the drop-down menu for suggestions. But! If you want to tag something that doesn't appear on the drop-down menu, you can & should write in a new tag!

This is a good guide!

[businesstiramisu]

This is one of the things r/ao3 is actually pretty helpful for, in fact I think centrumlumina's guide is almost word-for-word match for advice that i see posted regularly on there. Its also great for "here's a thing that happens in my story/i want to warn readers about, is there a tag for that?" (Or even "this tag i already know about doesn't suit my purposes for xyz reasons. What can i do instead?")

MegaStar but like the sex is so bad. It's SO bad but they can't ever admit that because they're supposed to hate each other and if the sex isn’t even good what's the point? What is the point? 'Why do you keep sleeping with him then?' Skywarp would ask Starscream, 'just stop sleeping with him if it's bad' because Skywarp doesn't understand, he doesn't get it, and Starscream can't admit why he's still sleeping with Megatron because then he'd have to admit it to himself

[doomspoon888]

The whole problem turns out to be Megatron thinking Starscream's too cosmopolitan for good old fashioned missionary so he's pulling all these bizarre moves and changing things up constantly but Starscream's not giving him any guidance so he's not just stick to one thing long enough for Starscream's charge to build and he's so focused on his choreography he's not enjoying it either and neither of them say ANYTHING to each other because they're supposed to be hate-fucking so they're just glaring at each other through it until Starscream fakes an overload and Megatron collapses to the side like thank god i thought he'd never come

[doomspoon888]

"Missionary is too boring for him" thinks Megatron

No Starscream likes being pinned and squished beneath Megatron's big heavy frame, legs up over Megatron's hips and ankles crossed at the small of Megatron's back. He likes him leaning all his weight onto the hands he's splayed across Starscream's wings. He likes Megatron's own weight being what drives him deeper. He likes it when Megatron just rocks and their armour screeches and grinds as it rubs and he gets covered in paint transfers and condensation and grease and little dents and the glass of his cockpit gets all scratched up. He likes it when Megatron kisses him lazily and grunts and groans and breathes raggedly into his mouth,

But they can't KISS if they're doing the FRAGGING WHEELBARROW!!

The two wolves inside every writer: "this is genuinely the best thing i have ever written. i am gifted. i am changed. this paragraph alone justifies my entire existence on this planet." and then five minutes later, same paragraph: "who wrote this. who allowed this. this reads like a golden retriever trying to describe grief. i need to lie down and reconsider everything." both wolves are always wrong. the paragraph is fine. you need a snack.
