Excited to share my submission for the Gallavich Tropes Challenge!
Thank you @its-a-queer-thing for the opportunity to think this story up - this was so much fun 馃挆 My tropes are: * Lawyer/Client * Jock/Nerd * Party AU (Happy 馃巸 !)
And a big thank you to my betas @sweetbee78 & @ian-galagher for eyes and comments and help!
"Running Into You" on AO3
Tumblr media
Summary: After spending ten years in a fake, but comfortable, marriage, the time has come for Mickey Milkovich to seek out a divorce lawyer, to gain back the freedom he鈥檚 been craving since he was a teenager. After the last bit of paperwork is filed, he can finally admit to himself that he wouldn鈥檛 mind getting to know the attractive lawyer who鈥檚 been helping him, dorky ties and all.
What he doesn鈥檛 know yet, is that his lawyer鈥檚 had his sights set on him since his high school junior varsity baseball days.

Saw a BookTok about how 'there are millions of people in the world but I happened to fall in love with one that doesn't exist' and then it showed a bunch of books including Fourth Wing and people are in love with Xaden? The broody guy with as much personality as wet cardboard?? (This post isn't out here to yuck anyone's yum鈥攊f you think he's dreamy I love that for you /gen. This is sheer asexual/demiromantic bafflement about why people go crazy for characters whose sole personality is 'hot, brooding, and in love with me'.)

For the trope ratings: bodyswap!
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don鈥檛 even know |
I'm not sure I've ever read a bodyswap fic. I think the idea is probably interesting to me, but I also think I'd be squicked if the characters are using the bodies for things that the other would not want? But if they were both good with it? Then yes!
Thank you for asking!

For the fanfic trope ask meme: enemies to lovers OR soulmarks
Ooh, not both?
Okay- talking about soulmarks. I think it's a C for me - Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.
I have read a couple of soulmark stories as written by some fav authors and those have really worked for me. But often I think that's because those stories have often had some subversion of that trope built in so... hmm, maybe it's more like borderline C/D for me on that.
(And just quickly on enemies to lovers - prob a C for me too. I think it's challenging for even professional authors to pull it off well too.)

And there was only one bed
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don鈥檛 even know |
I like this trope! Especially if it's cold out. And the bed is cozy! And there's longing. And cuddling. And then urgent 'oh my god I can't believe I can have this' sex. Yes. Very nice. (Thank you for asking!)

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

My favourite trope has to be:
I sacrificed myself to save you. I didn't plan to survive. I burnt all the bridges. I intended to break your heart with my death, but that would be all right, because I wouldn't be around to see you. I pretended that you'll mourn me for a while and move on. I convinced myself I was going down in the blaze of glory. That my deed was appreciated. That everything was going to be all right afterwards, and I didn't need to be there to see it.
But I survived. And now I have to look you in the eye. I have to pick up the pieces of the life I shattered and figure out how to put it back together. If it can be done at all.

I think people misunderstand "x fell first, y fell harder " trope because it's not about like the one who fell harder loves the other person harder. It's just that the one who fell first falls in a graceful way, one step at the time, maybe gradually over a span of time. The one who fell harder smashes trough the air, there's blood everywhere, everything is fine-
