Day 7: In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliche, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us someexamples and recs.
Tropes:
There are... a lot of tropes I really like. I love AUs. I especially love high school/university AUs. Miscommunication and misunderstandings and idiots being oblivious are also beautiful. Specifically for kinks, I love D/s, or A/B/O. Power dynamics, protectiveness and caring and intimacy... Threesomes. Polyamory.
For AUs, I love the mutliple settings. The way the dynamics remain the same, the intricate plots replayed and remade to fit in a different setting.
Miscommunication - I love angst, I love to see characters brought low, and I like to see the stupidity, the sheer idiocythat my favorite characters can (canonically) get themselves into.
D/s, A/B/O, power dynamics, even Sentinel/Guide - I really, really love to see that play out. To see the intricacies, the love, the protection the dom/alpha gives... I just really like that. It's something personally amazing and lovely.
Polyamory/threesomes is fun for the same reason I like (mis)communication, because seeing people fit together is amazing.
(Also, through all this, angst and pain that characters get over or are comforted for - that goes through everything.)
Recs:
I... don't know. Like, I know what I read, but they're so far back in my history on Ao3...
I'll try and do at least one fic for each one I listed, though. So:
AUs: High fantasy story Descent, by Teyke and a utopia story (and the problems with utopias) New Metropolis by Amuly. (both Avengers)
Miscommunication/misunderstandings/obliviousness: Cornerstone by Vendelin (another AU, too, from Teen Wolf) and His Fate Will Be Unlearned by Scifigrl47 (just... assume almost all of these are AUs unless otherwise. Also, Avengers.)
D/S / A/B/O: Hello, Heartbreaker by Astoryaboutwar (Teen Wolf) and this absolutely beautiful story The Edge by Ladygravy99
Polyamory/threesomes: Put Away Childish Things by Arsenicarcher (suprisingly, not built like an Avengers AU, but the polyamory aspect is in fact downplayed; it's focused more on rebuilding a broken OTEveryone).
