Hi, hello! 💜 Random ask, 'cause random asks are fun! 💜
What tropes do you like writing the most? What tropes do you always avoid in your stories? Do they differ from tropes you like or dislike reading?
Hiii!! 💜 Random asks are indeed fun!
Tropes I like writing the most are the angsty ones lol! A lot of whump, a lot of hurt/comfort, a lot of angst and drama. I enjoy my favourite characters Going Through Things, and then others acknowledging that they're going through things. Physical and/or emotional pain, trauma, I love to write it. Caretaker characters coming through with the first aid and comfort and hugs for my hurt blorbos, hell yeah.
I write a lot of gen fic, so I like exploring angsty tropes/themes with family and friendships too. I love family bonds, whether it's blood family or found family.
For the occasional ship idea/fic, I looove enemies to lovers lol!! Enemies to lovers, forbidden romances, secret relationships, mutual pining. Basically just more drama and/or angst but make in ship form lmao.
I generally don't write fluffy/really light hearted stuff. I do have a couple of fluff fics, but I usually avoid writing it simply because I'm not good at it lol, and I tend to get a little bored writing fics that are only fluff. And for my usual angsty stuff, I nearly always avoid writing character deaths.
As for reading, I feel like I'm open to reading pretty much anything as long as it involves my favourite characters/ships. I don't usually read coffee shop aus, college aus, or modern aus (for BBC Merlin), etc, but I have read a few that interested me, and I will again if I find more. I do love reading fluffy fics, even though I don't/can't write them. But I won't read character deaths of my favourite characters, unless it's temporary/a fix-it.
So I guess the only real difference is I won't write fluff, but I will read it lol. Thanks so much for the ask! 💜💜
