[088] Fic Tropes
Like snickfic, who I got this from, I'm disappointed in the lack of mpreg as an option. I'm also surprised at how high some things ranked despite only being asked about them once, or not at all (Hot Single Parents, Adopting/Raising a Baby, one of which I'm fine with the placement, the latter of which I would rank much higher). Overall, pretty representative of my tastes, with an emphatic interest in canon or canon-divergent fics vs modern or other such AUs. There are a couple things on here that I flat refuse to read at all, like Actually Unrequited or Break-Ups (even if they get back together), and some I'll only read once in a great while (any variety of school AU).
(go here to sort for yourself, btw)
Top Ten:
1 Body Swapping
1 A/B/O
3 Found Families
3 Friends to Lovers
3 Selfcest (possibly due to time travel)
(around here is where I'd probably put mpreg)
6 Fake Dating/Fake Marriage Accidentally Turns Into Feelings
6 Soulmate Identifying Marks (Tattoo, Red Thread of Fate, etc) ^^^I would actually swap this one and Body Swapping
6 Seemingly Unrequited Pining
6 Hurt/Comfort
10 Magical Connection (Telepathy, etc)
10 Hot Single Parent(s)
12 Royals/Political Marriage Turns Into Feelings
12 Adopting/Raising a Baby ^^^should be in my top 10
14 Enemies to Friends to Lovers
15 Daemons
15 Accidentally Fell In Love With The Mission Target
15 Polyamory
18 Snowed-In Cabin/Isolated Together For Extended Period of Time
19 Fairy Tale/Mythology AU
19 'Falling For A Coworker/Teammate Is A Bad Idea' Except This Is Fiction So It Works Out
19 And They Were Roommates!
22 'Groundhog Day'/Karmic Time Loop
22 Loyalty Kink
22 Supernatural Creature/Human Romance
25 Coffee House AU/Food Service AU
25 'Everyone is Evil'/Mirrorverse AU
25 'They All Work In An Office' AU
25 Unusually Specific Occupation AU, Like, The Author Clearly Has The Same Job
25 Hogwarts AU
25 Reincarnation/'25 Lives' AU
31 High School/University AU
31They Break Up (but then They Get Back Together)
31Actually Unrequited Pining
31 Characters Swap Roles AU (I don't mean in the bedroom)
31 Amnesia Fic
31 Pride and Prejudice AU
31 Vampires/Werewolves AU
