PICK YOUR TROPES

Thank you @moistvonlipwig! I agree with you that the tropes really depend on the who's involved, but, generally, these are my preferences

coffee shop or flower girl | au or fix-it | enemies to lovers or childhood friends [neither in this case] | angst or fluff | love at first sight or pining | modern au or historical au | break up & make up or proposal & wedding | get together or established relationship | soulmates or unrequited | fake dating or secret dating | obvious pining or domestic fluff | hurt/comfort or crack | meet the parents or meet cute

hmmm well, historical AUs could bt eh one thing I could ever be fandom-famous for. I've invested a lot of time in those, from the Trojan War to World War One. And sci-fi. I'm not too bothered about coffee shop or pining options, but I guess I had to pick one. Same goes with proposal and wedding. Dunno. Stuff, I guess?

Anyroad: @thiamsxbitch @wolfboy88 @raywriteshere @azurecanary @domesticated-feral and @centaur-dreaming and @anxiouslyandmessily. Fancy a tag game?

Identity porn or stripper!AU?

I’ve never been the biggest fan of identity porn. I get the appeal, and I’ve certainly enjoyed ID-porn stories in the past, but if you show me an ID-porn story and a stripper story, both from the same author (or at least, both from authors I really like), I’m probably going to read the stripper one first. :D

Fake Dating trope vs. Everyone thinks we're dating but we're not (or are we? Maybe we should?) trope

Ooohhhhh, um... “Everyone thinks we’re dating but we’re not” but only by the THINNEST whisker of a margin, and only because it suits my favorite ships so well. :D

How about: telepathy or amnesia?

Telepathy, hands-down. Especially if it’s sort of humorous. I have two telepathy fics (x) (x) in my AO3 bookmarks, and I can’t even count the number of times I’ve re-read both of them. They’re like the fic equivalent of comfy, fluffy warm blankets.
