My favourite tropes vary between fandoms, tbh, but one constant is that trope of singular, obsessive love. Whether it takes the form of a Dwarf's One in the Tolkien fandoms or a soulmate AU or a regular person just developing an obsession, I don't care. It's like catnip.

It doesn't have to have be mutual. It doesn't even have to have a happy ending, but I do prefer it not to get physically or sexually abusive. When I was younger, I was very much into twu wuv but now that I'm older, I embrace more of the fucked up side of things. Even in my happy-place-fluff fandoms, I like a disquieting edge to my twu wuv 4eva fics. I want the characters in question to know that they're fucked up over each other, and I want them to not care. Embrace the codependency!

I also like outsider perspectives on that sort of relationship. A long time ago, I wrote an outsider-perspective Wincest fic that remains one of my favourite fics that I've ever written because it's basically this trope to a ridiculous degree.
