Challenge #9

Talk about your favorite tropes in media or transformative works.

My absolute favorite trope in fanfiction is Mutual Pining! The bit where they think their love is unrequited and angst about it for ages before they find out it's requited after all. That's the good shit in my opinion. 

And of course I love all those tropes that go so well with a side of pining: Only One Bed, Fake Relationship, Arranged Marriage, Friends With Benefits... The list goes on.

I answered a similar question in more or less the same way during last year's challenge. What can I say? I like what I like.

Mutual pining is so great! Especially if one or both of them is convinced it's hopeless. A+ trope.

I like what you liked too. Can't go wrong with any of that.

oh yes, Mutual Pining is great! And all the other connected ones. I agree with you.
