Day 7

In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us some examples and recs. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.



I'm actually going to do all 'cause it's so hard to pick one!

1. Tropes

Accidental Marriage/Bonding:
I love accidental marriage or bonding fics!! It mostly leads to hilarious situations and it's fun to see how the two characters work out their differences and learn to live together. And the gradual falling in love (sometimes preceeded by lusting over each other, which is just an added bonus!) makes me swoon and go "awe!" at my laptop.
Recs - (without any commentary from me because they'll all be - omg! this is so awesome! I love this story so much!! ♥♥♥♥) [ <- That's also why I generally stay away from reccing things because all I can do is flail at my fav. fics.]

Alpha/Beta/Omega
Oh God, this trope. ♥ Not only is it awesome initself but it had to go and include mpreg too which is just. ♥ ♥ Not that I won't read A/B/O fics without mpreg, I will, I just like mpreg a lot too so it's brialliant that these mostly go hand in hand. I think what I like most about A/B/O fics is the fact that at that moment, all feelings are laid bare because biology demands it. And hot sexy times too! :D

2. Cliche

Pretend Relationship
The best part about fics with this cliche is the sense of satisfaction I get at the end when they finally get together and I say, "I knew pretend dating would never work out for you two!" [Yes, I talk to my laptop a lot.]
Leaving aside the fact that obv. they will be getting together in the end, but that slow build up and then that gradual realisation, "that wait, I don't want to be just in a fake relationship!" ♥

Boys in lingerie. Really, do I need to say more? :D

4. Themes:

Hurt/Comfort
While I adore fluffy fics and enjoy reading them a lot, there's nothing I love more than a good H/C fic. The kind that wrings my heart dry and leaves me feeling shaken up, that makes me cry and then smile like a loon at the ending. ♥
It never stops amazing me that some people are so talented that they can affect me so much with their words. :)

One of my all time favorites, that I always go back to, is Like The Tide byarsenicjadeanduntappedbeauty.
This fic . . . I wish I was better at explaing why I like a certain fic because I have so many things I want to say about this fic. How touching it is, how every single line with leave you breathless, how you will want to hug Ryan and never let go, how you fill fall in love with everyone in the fic, how you will shake your head and sigh, "Oh, boys" while aww-ing at the screen. It's just, even if you don't read Bandom and know nothing about the characters - it's okay! Because this fic is not related to RL or canon at all. It's an AU and if you love reading H/C fics you should definitely give this a try! ♥ ♥ ♥
