a/n: Zuko has grown up! I cannot wait for the movie

Smut 18+

・Zuko is so warm, his body heat makes sleeping so much easier, so much cosier

・You come first, no questions about it. He has a lot of responsibilities but if you need him, then he's yours.

・Your relationship started off rocky.

・You did not like him, and he was wary of you

・Everyone was aware of it. Gossip in the halls of the Firelord's castle. Many thought you were out of line, but as one of his new advisors, you felt what you felt.

・And it was that Zuko was a little arrogant at times. Possibly handsome, although you would never say that to anyone...

・Well, you say it a lot now. Since you married.

・Uncle Iroh 'helped' (persuaded, led) both of you to the path of love

・Now you cannot live without each other

・You wake up in the mornings to see Zuko already awake and gazing at you

・He calls you 'my heart', while stroking your hair.

・Zuko is romantic when he wants to be. Especially when it's an anniversary, roses, candles, surprises.

・For your birthday he got you this, and many of your jewellery consists of rubies, diamonds, carnelians, you also have jewellery that represents the four elements.

・In the mornings you nearly always make him late for meetings

・Even the ones you're needed at, as well

・Because you're around each other a lot, you've started to mimic one another unconsciously

・You like to braid his hair, and of course he lets you

・Zuko lets you do anything in all honesty

・He's incredibly protective of you, not to the point of smothering, but you know he's always on your side.

・You're one of the only people he truly opens up to. No one else knows that he's scared of doing a bad job at his position, or that he has nightmares about it

・But he knows you always have his back as well.

・Zuko truly loves you.

・The heat radiating off of Zuko makes his cock feel so good inside of you.

・Thick, and veiny with a pink tip. You like to lick the pearly pre-cum from his cock. Down on your knees, pretty eyelashes batting up at him. It drives him crazy, he does his best not to fuck your throat, as to not make you gag.

・With his status, he can't really have risky sex, but that doesn't mean he can't be loud. It's the one thing he allows himself...well and yourself. He doesn't tell you to be quiet, neither does he cover your mouth.

・Zuko's favourite position is cowgirl. Seeing you bounce up and down on his dick makes him go feral. It's not long before he pushes you backward and climbs ontop of you

・And since you're married, he likes to cum inside you. Leaving every drop in you. Wasting nothing.

- “I like enemies to lovers”

-“Oh so you like (insert pair that genuinely hate each other and want the other dead)?”

-“…”

I like enemies to lovers when done in a very certain way, the idea that one so desperately wants or feels like they have to hate the other but can’t bring themselves to, despite trying to look all those flaws instead of hating them they find themselves falling more and more in love. Only to realize they don’t hate them but they’re scared of something, rejection, what others think, differences. They feel better to hate them yet they feel terrible to hate them. They want each other but something is keeping them from being willing to commit or even try. They want to hate them so they’ll stop loving each other.

[hannah-deactivated20220725]

Send me 🤔 and a trope and I'll tell you what my thoughts are and rate it on a scale of 10, 1 being terrible will never ever read or watch or write anything with it and 10 being AMAZING WONDERFUL I will write EVERYTHING with at least a hint of it.

Anyone that wishes to is free to reblog to play.

[isthismayberelatable]

favorite type of antagonist/villain: the kind that thinks theyre like the mortal enemy of the hero and the hero's like “who are you again” and the antagonist rambles about one event in the hero's past that was so insignificant to the hero that he doesn’t remember it but that is now the reason they are mortal enemies and the hero is like “wait we're enemies? oh okay then” (proceeds to vanquish the antagonist effortlessly)

Basic Plot Tropes

These basic plot tropes describe the overall goal/conflict of the story, which means that everything that happens in the story is for the sake of the trope. It is the protagonist's main goal/desire. These are helpful for when you have a setting and/or character but no plot. You can use a trope that seems fitting to structure your story.

Notes: Sorry if my examples are not well-known. I just used what I’ve seen, but I’ve provided links if you want to know more about the examples. Also, the list is incomplete. I plan on adding more as I figure out more tropes.

Powerful Object

Protection: Someone has a powerful object or skill which they must keep safe from enemies who want to abuse it and/or they must get rid of it. It's usually something that is bestowed upon them and they don't have much say in the matter.

Natsume's Book of Friends: Returns names to spirits because they can be used to control them and other spirits want this book.

Lord of the Rings: Goes on a quest to destroy the ring and prevents others from getting it.

Nabari no Ou: Has a powerful ninja technique that others want.

Searching: Someone is trying to find a powerful object or person before others who want to use it or destroy it (sometimes because it is the key to taking them down). They are searching out of their own free will but in a way are forced to because they need the object.

The Scholar Who Walked the Night: Searching for a book that says how to defeat the vampire who secretly rules the kingdom.

The Raven Cycle: Searching for the king Glendower who supposedly grants a wish when you wake him up.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Searching for the Philosopher's Stone.

Finding Oneself

A character is on a journey (whether intentional or not) to figure out their identity and their place in the world. They usually are the loner type who doesn't fit in (sometimes a delinquent) and someone reaches out to them, which causes them to open up and make friends. Sometimes it's a troubled character who heals from their traumatic past via interactions with other characters who accept them for who they are. They may have a secret they are keeping from the others.

All for the Game trilogy: Neil keeps his identity a secret while healing from his traumatic past by getting close to his teammates.

Girls of the Wild's: Jaegu gets over his fear of women by going to a previously all-girls school and interacting with many girls.

Kids on the Slope: Kaoru figures out that he likes playing jazz and makes friends in the process.

Revenge

A wronged character will do anything to get revenge. The wronged is usually an underdog and the wrongdoer is usually a powerful person. Sometimes the wronged doesn't know who the wrongdoer is so a lot of the plot is the search for the wrongdoer. Often the wronged is torn between punishing or sparing the wrongdoer because they end up having a connection to the wronged (sometimes they are family).

City Hunter: Revenge on the politicians for abandoning the soldiers they sent on a secret mission in North Korea, which caused them to get killed.

The Time Between Dog and Wolf: Revenge on the leader of a gang for killing his parents.

Iljimae: Revenge on the noble who killed his father and disgraced his family by framing them as traitors.

Mystery

The character is solving a mystery, which is usually a death/murder. Solving this mystery often brings corruption to light. This can be a police-type mystery (like Law & Order), but this trope becomes deeper and more interesting when paired with unveiling the corruption of people in power by underdogs.

Signal: Solving cold cases which reveals how they were covered up by the police.

Arang and the Magistrate: Arang solves why/how she died, which brings to light nobles' corruption and evil deeds.

City Hunter and Iljimae also fit. The mystery is who the wrongdoer is and solving this brings corruption to light and allows them to finally get revenge.

Deadly Game

A game is deadly or dangerous (or it starts out innocent and becomes dangerous). Only certain people know about and/or participate in this game. Sometimes they can choose to participate (in the beginning when it was harmless) but they always have no choice once it becomes dangerous (i.e. they can't pull out unless they die). They usually have randomly chosen special abilities or weapons. The last person standing sometimes has the ability to control the game (they become the new game master).

Battle Royale: Students are stranded on an island and have to kill each other. The last person is allowed to leave the island.

Future Diary: Select people playing a game where they must kill each other.

Dice: People do anything to get dice, which can change a person's stats.

・Being married to Aragorn would include...being loved until death and then beyond.

・The love you share for each other is eternal. Unending. Unyielding.

・There is no such thing as disloyalty with Aragorn, not even the slightest worry of it. In his mind, he belongs utterly and completely to you.

・You have his heart.

・And when you first met, your heart was beating so fast you were worried he could hear it.

・But his heart was mirroring yours.

・Aragorn is a man who does not do things lightly. He always lives up to his promises.

・And when he says, "I love you," you know the truth of it in your bones.

・Being married to Aragorn also means you hold a lot of responsibility in your own hands.

・People look to both of you for guidance, advice and most of all, hope.

・You've also become close with those from the Fellowship as Aragorn invites them to Minas Tirith and Annúminas.

・Merry and Pippin have taken a particular like to you...with Pippin forming a slight crush...

・Legolas does like to visit more often. And Gimli is never far behind.

・With your husband as the first High King of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor, he is often doing very important Kingly duties.

・What you didn't expect, was that Aragorn wanted your opinion in these matters. And not just behind closed doors, but in the moment.

・You are present during the meetings, your ideas and solutions are listened to and revered. (Not just by Aragorn, but the people as well.) You are loved throughout the kingdoms.

・When it is night and you are alone with your husband, you've noticed that he hums. And sometimes, without realising it, he'll sing.

・It always puts a smile on your face.

・When it's time for bed, you've both started this tradition when you tell each other the highlight of the day.

・And even though he doesn't snore, Aragorn does have very vivid dreams & nightmares.

・Some nights you've found him staring out over the land. His arms leaning against the railing. His hair moving with the wind.

・It's those times that you get out of bed and wrap your arms around him. Helping the nightmares to shed from his mind.

・When it comes to your pleasure, Aragorn does so with complete and utter devotion.

・His hands touch you as if you're going to disappear. As if you are the only thing that matters.

・He is in constant awe of you. A creature such as yourself...he cannot fathom that you are his...all his.

・The first night you lay together as a married couple will always be burnt into your memory.

・Aragorn had gently laid you on the bed. Undressing you slowly, adoringly.

・When you were laid bare, his heart nearly stopped. With a nod of approval from you, Aragorn had brought you pleasure unlike anything you knew

・Because it was all about you, and your joining.

・His large hands cupped and soothed, holding you close as his cock pumped in and out of you.

・Forehead pressed against your own.

・Moans echoing from his now shared chamber.

・It took you a while to get used to the size and length of his cock. Though he isn't obscenely large, you can feel him inside you. Your always stuffed full. Cum leaking from your hole when he's finished.

・He never wants to leave you unsatisfied. So, Aragorn makes sure you've came once from his fingers, then from his mouth and finally from his cock.
