So... today, I'm bringing you my 🌟FANFICTION TOP TIER 🌟
To classify the different tropes on fanfics, we have five categories
Amazing, showstopping, never the same - the category where all my favourite tropes go
Regular favourites - the category where all the good tropes (but not my ultimate favourites) go
Not bad - tropes that I read if there's nothing else to read or if the concept of the fic sounds interesting
Why did I gave this a try? - the fics and concepts that I give a try but end up being boring or disappointing
NO. - the one that I absolutely despise
That being said, LET'S EXPLAIN THE TROPES! (WARNING: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION)
ANGST: Who doesn't like the angst? The ugly crying? The screaming? The pain? It's just... chef's kiss.
Sharing a bed: it can be applied to EVERY OTHER TROPE. Enemies to lovers? They share a bed. Friends to lovers? They share a bed. Unrequired feeling? Mutual pining? Sexual tension? This has you covered.
Bang or die: only as long as it is consensual, but look, listen, THEY HAVE TO. AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE THEY WILL FEEL SOMETHING AND IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING BETWEEN THEM AND GOD!
Crack fic: It's like humor, which I like, but better. Just surreal and absurd and so full of potential... I love it.
Dark fic: who doesn't like to see their fav character turn dark? The worst things ever are here, and I can't help but feel drawn to it. Like... omg. just. OMG.
Enemies to lovers: Look, this is THE most popular trope and it deserves the reputation. The sublime transition from "I want to kill you" to "I will kill whoever tries to kill you". It can explore SO MUCH, that I just can't deal, I can't.
Fluff: look, I'm a tiny, soft ball, and I need fluffy stuff, I need the cute moments, the smiles, the laugh, the sweet environment. We need some comfort and happiness every once in a while.
Friends to lovers: it's the context, you know? Their transition can be smooth and natural or it can be chaotic at first, but they have that already established intimacy, and I just can't help but love it. It's like it was meant to be, and I can't like it anymore than I already do.
Hurt/Comfort: The wonderful, WONDERFUL moments when A is hurt and B is taking care of them. No matter the type of pain, they have that conexion, that love, and it doesn't even have to be romantic. It's amazing.
Missing scenes: so underrated, oh my god. Yes, give me the missing conversations, the headcanons, everything you have that fills the void that canon has left, everything that expands the character or the universe. I'm a curious person, I want to know more and more about it.
PWP: I love the P0rn, I do, but you have to give me the plot too, the conversations, the stares, the context. And this trope always delivers.
Arranged marriage: if it's well executed, it slaps. The different possibilites, their first meeting... but it's always historical shit that get boring, so I am a bit picky about it.
Baby fic: whether it is the single parent, the pregnancy, or the adoption, I just love it. If the kid is cool and nice, it is even better. If not, I just use them as a pretext for my favourite couple to get together.
Slow Burn: it burns, like the name says, but it makes it all so much interesting. It's hard for this trope to get boring, and it keeps you hanging and waiting for the next update. Sublime.
Body Swap: if it is well executed, it's great. Knowing the other person's body, experiencing their lives... I just adore it, it has so much potential and it usually has a comical side that I just adore.
College AU: Again, I love it if it's well executed. The adult content (not sex, just adult stuff) always gets me, and the coming-of-age element is delicious.
Part two is coming, kids... stay tuned for more
