#fic trope meme

trope grade: when person a is really psychosexually obsessed with person b killing them

this is so delightfully specific and I'm going to have to give it an A because if there was a way I could specifically filter by this as a category I would but instead I just do that by defacto shipping things where people are psychosexually obsessed with somebody killing them. bonus points if it's sublimated eroticism at work

send me a fanfiction trope and I’ll rate it

Fic trope meme

I saw this list and knew exactly who would benefit from sharing this.

Slowburn or Love at First Sight (god, especially if they don't even have a hint of attraction for a long time)

Fake Dating or Secretly Dating (mmmh yes thanks)

Enemies to Lovers or Best Friends to Lovers (the best of all tropes? perhaps yes)

“Oh no, there’s Only One Bed” or Long Distance Correspondence (i'm actually not really into either of these)

Hurt/Comfort or Amnesia (i do like amnesia tho, the idea that they always fall for each other, regardless of circumstances)

Fantasy AU or Modern AU (god save me from modern AUs)

Mutual Pining or Domestic Bliss

Smut or Fluff (👀)

Canon-Compliant/Missing Scenes or Fix-It (well, depending on how awful the canon is, but i generally like stuff in the canon-verse)

Alternate Universe or Future Fic

One Shot or Multi-chapter (ironically, i don't like them too long)

Kid Fic or Road trip Fic (i do not like either of these, but kidfic would be the one if i HAD to)

Reincarnation or Character Death (i don't mind character death if they get better)

Arranged Marriage or Accidental Marriage (oh? forced to be together and work together even at odds??? rival countries/families????)

High School Romance or Middle-Aged Romance (there's a place for Highschool AUs, but goddamn the potential in older folks)

Time Travel or Isolated Together (listen -)

Neighbours or Roommates (roommates is too easy - le them fight over lawn care! pets! singing loudly!)

Sci Fi AU or Magic AU (magic AUs are a dime-a-dozen, but scifi would be incredible)

Body swap or Gender change (ok magical, yes, but also cross-dressing??)

Angst or Crack (i like what i like)

Apocalyptic or Mundane (ok yes but not too much or a downer. positive apocalypse)

For the best of my writing/reading buddies: @makesometime, @wordsandstrangeways, @eleanor-is-fine, @holoxam and @lieutenantdru

“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.

By @me-writes-prompts

“I want to wrap my hands around your throat, and choke you until the life in your eyes die down.” “Kinky.” ;)

“It’s funny, isn’t it? How we always end up, in the same place, at the same time.” “It’s not funny, I know you’ve been stalking me. That’s how we always end up together.” “Stalking? You? *scoffs* in your dreams.”

“Well, if it isn’t my favorite human being on the earth!” They say with fake excitement. “Oh thank you, but I regret to not say the same.”

“If you don’t care, then why are you holding my hand?” “So I can drag you down with me if we fall from this cliff/edge.”

Just deadass staring daggers at each other, and communicating with their eyes.

“Fuck you!” “Love you, too.” They say, blowing a kiss.

“I hate being in your presence, I hope you know that.” “You’re literally sitting half on my lap.” “Because there is nowhere else to sit!” (There was only one couch *snickers*)

“It just so happens that I put on my nicest outfit, just to find out that you’re my blind date.”

“Don’t look at me like that.” “Like what?” “Like you want to murder me but also like…you want me.” 😏

“It’s impossible not to hate you.” “It’s impossible not to hate you.” *mocking*

“Look, I win. So back off okay?” “Stepping on my toe and reaching the ceiling is not winning.”

“Shut up before I-” “Before you what, huh? No, say it. Let me see if you can finish that sent-” *shoves the nearest thing into their mouth*

“Come here, let me see the cut.” “No.” *sighs and walks up to them* “Let. me. see.”

“You’re not that good looking, alright?” “So you admit I’m good looking?” “What? N-no. Never.”

“I love you.” “Huh?” “Is the last thing I would be saying, so get that delulu thought out of your mind, and leave me alone.”

“You’re such an idiot. Who steps on a knife unknowingly?” “It was in the middle of a dumpster, I didn’t see it!” “Someone needs glasses.” “Shut up!” (This is so random lmaooo)

You don’t have to, but I’d highly appreciate it if you could help reblog this for bigger sample size

Timeloops

A+ and here's some extra credit on this one again, maybe even more than time travel on its own. for one thing it increases the opportunities for brutal suffering considerably! if you can always reboot at the beginning you can inflict so much pain on a character and they'll come back up for more. :)

and then also getting to explore multiple paths of causality in one fic, and again that question of inevitability and what is immutable vs. what can be changed, and how a character changes (or doesn't) over multiple iterations, and the "going a little bit/a lot bit insane" of it all...

the only thing about time loops I do sometimes wish I saw more of was the exploration of the aftermath, because damn you have to feel like that leaves you fucked up for a while on several levels. not just with all the new trauma but also with the, like. lurking fear that this is just another loop and it's about to start over again. I wrote a fic like that once and I'd love if other people wrote more of it.

:-"I sense some tension...and not the friends type." Friends to lovers prompts-:

(Y'alllll I could not help myself. I had to do more!!! Hehehe. Tag me if you guys write any of these :)

The 'just friends' kiss that they have to do as a dare but they both like it and can't stop thinking about it 👀

^^ "I mean, I kinda liked it, I guess..." but then they see their friend's smug face and cough, "I didn't mean it that way!" "Uh huh."

"You know...for someone who says they like me just as a friend, you sure do blush a lot in my presence. What's up with that?"

Going on DATES without realizing that they're doing couple-y things and someone casually commenting they're a cute couple (hehehe)

^^ "We are not a couple. I swear-" "Yeah, never. They're not even my type." "Yeah, same here." (sureeeee mhmm)

Hugs lasting a little longer than usual, and it gets all awkward because they are waiting for the other one to pull away, but neither of them wants to.

Always being extra affectionate with them(i.e. complimenting, playfully teasing, etc)

Communicating using only their eyes(AHHHH)

Pillow fights turning into tackling fights into blushing messes

^^ "It's not fair though! You never let me tickle you! :(" "You have to get close to me to do that." They say with a teasing lick of their lips and a grin. "I- shut up!"

Borrowing their clothes and never returning it just so you can be warm and cozy in them and feel like it's their arms wrapped around you>>>>>

Calling them the first thing when they have a bad day, because they know seeing the other will make it so much better

^^"Hard day?" They ask with a gentle smile when they come in. "Yeah." And that's all they need before they have a cuddle session with both of their favorite movie playing and them just snuggled up :'((((

"You look at them like they hung the stars." A silence. "They did so much then that, and I can't ever be grateful enough, even if I wished to." (angsttttyyy)

*Confessing* "I...I love you. I don't know if it's okay to fall in love with your best friend, but I love you. And it's fine, if you don't love me back, because loving you has been the easiest thing I've ever done, and I'd never stop loving you even if you didn't love me back." "You know what? It is okay to love your best friend, because that's what I've done as well. And I would've never know that you also love me, if you never said it. So let me say this, I love you too." (I am deceased, did i just wrote that?)

Cue the long, slow kiss and the tears that run down their cheeks while doing so. And they lived happily ever after!

Title: In another universe, do you think we could be happy?

Oh, I would definitely focus on the original tragic bromance between the many iterations of Prima and Megatronus Prime.

Then again, it would be interesting to explore a resurrected Prima who gets front row seats of the entire aftermath of the war between Autobots and Decepticons. Unlike legends that return at the hour of need, Prima is from a bygone era. His legacy had been warped and tarnished somewhere (he knows. he knows exactly when, and he has no one to blame but himself). Once again, Prima stands alone.

And then he fucks off to Earth where Megatronus is still alive. It's a bittersweet venture between two gods: Megatronus, who had forgotten himself, divinity chained to ensure Unicron couldn't rise to full power, and Prima, who's trying and failing to find his footing when there's no burden upon his shoulders. As well as the series of cold realizations of how he fucked up, given by a depressed Alpha Trion.
