In your own space, Talk about your favorite trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme.

I love all tropes that involve a lot of pining - mutual pining is just one of my favorite themes and I really am interested in tropes where it can play a big part, or other types that can explore what we didn't see/the possibilities.

Fake Dating: One of my favorites. I love it in all forms - whether one side has feelings, both sides do or neither. I like it when it is just to avoid being set up or needing to go undercover. The way they agonizing over how it is all fake, the forced first kiss, the potential 'oh' moment and misunderstandings galore ... it just speaks to me.

Friends with Benefits: Another favorite. The way they're convinced it is going to be casual and then they realize they want more/worried the other person doesn't. Another 'oh' moment potential.

Soulmates/Soul bonds: I'm just a sucker for the romance tropes. I am partial to tattoos/marks or unseen connections. I"m not a huge fan of the whole 'can't see color' but the rest is great, especially when one or both sides is skeptical to the whole concept.

Amnesia: I really like this one, again for the misunderstandings and the confusion, especially when the person who lost their memories assumes the (future) love interest is indeed already someone they are in a relationship with. Lots of pining and angst with a happy ending. What can I say? I know what I want. :D

Canon Divergences/Fork in the Roads: What ifs are great! It is nice to wonder what would've happened if one decision had been different and consider the possibilities.

There are way more, like domestic stuff (sharing a bed/only one bed, taking care of a sick partner, etc) and hurt/comfort themes too. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting but I feel like when asked what I like, my mind goes blank and wonders if I have ever liked anything ever lol :D
