Another trope i love:

After jaskier confesses his love for geralt, geralt confirms he feels the same way.

But then he starts listing off all the ways that he doesn't deserve jaskier, and how jaskier deserves a better partner and a better life.

Then it becomes a change of roles where Jaskier is the one to tell geralt to shut up.

(And then they kiss)

I love that found family might not be related by blood but protect and trust each other unconditionally, because then they show that love is unconditional. And they teach each other that. They teach each other trust and love and family. 

No matter all the hurt they put each other through, they chose to work through it and to love each other because for the first time there is a family to fight for. A family who accepts them.

ive probably said this before BUT:

fave romance movie trope (and kinda the only straight romance trope i enjoy) is the female protagonist x the guys who is Pathetically In Love with her (but like, in a respectful way)

see: Mr. Darcy (specifically from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie) and Dawsey from the Guernsey and Literary Potato Peel Pie Society

#pride and prejudice #the guernsey and literary potato peel pie society #romance tropes #fav tropes #cute trope #the only one ill watch actually #i am possibly in love with mr darcy but whatever #if a man dont bring me home to his mansion and kiss me softly on the face while whispering my name #THEN I DONT WANT IT #mr darcy #dawsey

tomarrymort fandom, what are some of you guys’s favourite fic tropes? I’ve been in this fandom for some time, and I’ve just been curious about what the rest of you like to read, and I also think it’s a good chance to get to know you all better, if you’d like it…anyways, here are my own personal favourite ones!

-

Favourite Tropes

for harrymort, I like:

-

- post-apocalyptic voldemort and harry.

(more specifically, one where they are both forced to work together to figure out what’s happened/survive etc…the main thing is that they join forces and become partners. sort of like an enemies to hesitant partners to companions to lovers)

unfortunately though, there aren’t that many fics for that, and/or they’re not easy to find or some across.

________________________________

- master of death harry. i love those.

________________________________

- ghost voldemort haunts harry after the war, and harry’s the only one who can see him.

________________________________

- the one where they’re trapped in a place together and they can’t get out until they get along, and sort out their differences.

________________________________

- post war. where both sides somehow come to an agreement of peace, and voldemort and harry just can’t stay away from one another.

________________________________

- time travel.

________________________________

- ghost voldemort

________________________________

- married harrymort where both are equal and harry actually has a Job™️, and they share decisions together, and harry isn’t just some naive, spicy, feminised, twiggy little bottom who yields to all of voldemort’s commands and is absolutely useless and powerless.

________________________________

- immortal harry and voldemort where they keep having life cycles together. (OMG I REMEMBER THIS ONE FIC THAT I READ WHERE HARRY WAS REINCARNATED INTO A MUGGLE WORLD WITH NO MAGIC WHERE HE WAS A WANNABE DETECTIVE AND VOLDEMORT WAS THE LEADER OF A NOTORIOUS CRIME SYNDICATE IN 1930s/40s/50s? AMERICA WHO WENT BY THE NAME OF MARVOLO AND IT WAS AMAZING OMG I WONDER IF ITS UPDATED SHIT I DONT EVEN REMEMBER THE NAME ARGHHHHG)

________________________________

- hanahaki disease. this ones a bit sad, but it’s also one of my favourites. it’s so painful that there are only a few out there.

________________________________

- marriage of convenience. it depends though.

________________________________

- where harry and voldemort raise a child together. BUT. not mpreg. i can’t stand that one, ESPECIALLY, the ones in which Harry is referred to as “mum”, idk, it just gives me the ick, not for me.

________________________________

for tomarrymort

- harry is the master of death so he lives through many lives, until eventually, he cycles back to his own life and is reborn as himself, but mentally he is older, and he knows more and understands more about the world.

________________________________

- soulmate au. now this one, it has a few subtropes. like, there’s the timer soulmate au, the ink appearing on skin soulmate au, the complementing soul mark au, the name soul mark au, the world without colour au, the horcrux creating a bond au, the bruises and cuts sharing au, the belongings disappearing and appearing with the other person au, the complementary wings au, the usual love at first touch au, the prophecy soulmates au, etc etc.

________________________________

- time loop

________________________________

- switch tomarrymort (there are not many of those out there, but I do rlly like them)

________________________________

- only one bed

_______________________________

- soul dreams. especially when it’s harrymort.

________________________________

- dimension hopping. i love that one. i once read one where young harry and tom who were raised together and from another dimension, were kidnapped by a dimension hopping death eater and brought to a dimension with an older harry and voldemort who are against each other and in war like the books. it was such an interesting story with an interesting plot, and very well written…but it only had ONE OR TWO CHAPTERS AND IT HASNT UPDATED FOR A VERY LONG TIMEEE 😫😭. i tried searching for similar stories with the same concept but I could find none. I’m acc still devastated 🥲

________________________________

- where either tom/voldemort or harry is reincarnated into a muggle world only to discover there is no magical community in that dimension/universe, and that the other doesn’t seem to remember them (loss of magical power or not doesnt make a difference)

________________________________

- defence prof. tom/voldemort and student harry

________________________________

- one where either of tom/voldemort or harry get stuck as an animal, and the other knowingly or unknowingly takes care of them (like i remember reading this fic where harry accidentally time travels to tom riddle’s hogwarts days, and gets himself stuck as a cat - i don’t even remember how tbh...and there’s also this other one, where voldemort is stuck as a snake/serpent, and is forced to go to the only parselmouth around for help i.e. harry…it’s an interesting concept tbh )

________________________________

for tomarry

- tom and harry grow up together. this one has two subtropes though. one, where young harry from the future somehow teleports himself to tom in the past. and another, where harry is just from tom’s time.

________________________________

- muggle au except tom’s a ghost.

________________________________

- tom and harry are colleagues at hogwarts.

________________________________

- tom and harry are colleagues at a high school or university muggle au.

________________________________

- tom teaches harry, or harry teaches tom muggle au

________________________________

- harry is a police officer, and tom is a criminal. (muggle au of course)

________________________________

- minister of magic tom

________________________________

- tom and harry are both muggle orphan street urchins who grow up thieving together, relying on each other, and having each other’s backs

________________________________

- tom and harry hannibal au

________________________________

- workplace au (can be muggle and magical, like they could be working in a law firm or something, or at a shop in knockturn)

________________________________

- muggle au students. uni or high school, but I prefer uni really.

________________________________

- amortenia. by which I mean in the context of being hogwarts students, and they’re sitting in potions class as partners to brew it, only they feel it’s not working, but actually it is, and tom just thinks it’s because he actually can’t love, and harry thinks it’s bc they somehow messed up the potion. they don’t notice the scent bc they’re partners and sitting right next to each other.

________________________________

- time travel. this one has a lot of subtropes that I like, such as, harry, being a dunce, and accidentally time travelling back to the past (permanently is good, but also I like the one where he has to go back to his own time, and ends up taking tom w him, and the one where tom finds a way to travel to him into the future), going back to the past as a last resort during the war to prevent future events only to end up falling in love, time travelling harry and tom, in love, travelling together to confront voldemort from the future, harry travels and meets adult tom/fresh out of school tom, harry time travels and becomes defence professor in tom’s time, etc

________________________________

- reincarnated harry being raised in wool’s with tom with all memories of his past life.

The found family trope is the one trope I’ll never get tired of

Call me crazy but my favourite ship dynamic is

Dilf that is madly in love with his wife but she dies and after her death, he grows miserable, cold and depressed or a piece of shit and he also have a past that explains why he is so rutheless and how he acts but I swear he has a good heart X a younger man that is a ray of sushine and brings out the best in him

[nerdygeekypastrychef]

There is a fanfic trope I feel is underutilized and under discussed and I simply won’t have it any longer.

Shy, nerdy, goofy character is secret sex god/goddess.

bring 👏 back 👏 hand kisses- in shows, in fics, among baes & besties alike- everywhere.

I got a proper, old-fashioned, zero-rush back of the hand smooch yesterday & I’m telling you: we’ve done ourselves a collective disservice by forgetting about them. and, as we all know, hands are gay AF. we gotta fix this, loves.

Porsche gets it, though.

I think one of my favorite things in kaer morhen fics is that in every story Lambert is a little shit

he always says something that causes one of the other wolves to smack him upside the head or elbow him in the side or kick him under the table

My Feral little bastard never learns to not be a brat and will always speak his mind 😆💕🥰

I just love it when a gruff parental character does the whole “They aren’t my kid. At least not by blood or on paperwork they aren’t, but in every other possible way, they’re mine. In every damn way that counts, they’re my kid and I will forever love and protect them as such.” rant with tears in their eyes and devotion in their voice and my heart just breaks and heals again every single fucking time.

Hey! Hope you’re taking care of yourself <3

I’m interested in your favourite tropes vs your least favourite tropes? As well as favourite vs least favourite character dynamics? Thanks! :)

Favorite Tropes:

Fake Dating

Arranged Marriage (bonus if they’re royalty or at least one of them is)

Found Family

Enemies to Lovers/Rivals to lovers

Love-hate relationships

Slow Burn romance

Second Loves (if it’s done right)

Physically weak/average male characters with arcs that having nothing to do with getting strong

Rags to Riches

Pirates (is that a trope?)

Space westerns (that’s probably more a genre)

Least Favorite Tropes:

Love triangles (I despise almost nothing more)

That things romances do where the protagonist’s long time crush ends up being a horrible, terrible person because apparently that’s the only way to justify them choosing the main love interest. Like why does there have to be something wrong with them? Why can’t they just decide they don’t like the person anymore?

Strong female characters who aren’t actually strong female characters (either because they don’t actually do anything, or because they’re emotionless robots that think they’re better than everyone)

Affairs/cheating (especially when the person they’re having an affair with is endgame). I don’t feel like I can support the relationship when they’re hurting other people in the process.

Isekai. Well, more specifically, reincarnation isekai. I know it’s popular but I just hate it. Do you know how many times I start reading a fantasy story that could genuinely stand on its own as it is, and the main character suddenly goes “you know I’m not actually the princess, I’m actually a 28 year old woman from 2022 who was hit by a bus and reincarnated into the body of my favorite fantasy character” and then the fact they’re actually from 2022 has almost nothing to do with the plot? Aggggh! Sorry, I could go on forever.

Rich, hot man falls in love with girl whose only personality traits are being messy and clumsy.

Childhood sweethearts. I don’t know why, but as soon as I find out halfway through the story that they knew each other as children, I get mad. There are very few exceptions.

Favorite Character Dynamics:

Sorry I’m advance these are mostly romantic dynamics

Sunshine and grumpy (romantic or platonic)

Alien x human (like imagine a Star Trek setting where they are coworkers on a star ship and need to learn each others cultures or like awkward first contact, also acceptable )

Monster x human (this can range from vampires to werewolves to sirens to whatever)

Villain x villain

Bromances (just ultra platonically devoted to each other)

Strong female x weak(er) male

Popular girl x unpopular/nerdy boy (I don’t see this one a ton, its usually the reverse)

Tol x smol

Flirty x stoic

Least Favorite Character Dynamics:

Adult x minor (unless they’re two years apart, it’s very uncomfortable for me)

Teacher x student (unless that student is in college and their professor is close to them in age)

I feel like there has to be more, but for some reason I’m totally blanking.

#no writing #tropes #fav tropes #character dynamics

[fratricideknight]

i LOVE taking relationships for what they are in canon (e.g. friends, siblings, teacher and student) and making them as unhinged as possible. they would kill and die for each other, sell their souls and burn the world to the ground, and still there is no romance! not an inkling of sexual desire. only insanity.

bonus points if people constantly mistake them for being in a romantic relationship.
