DA: I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with big age differences. Whether it's a 16 year old and a 30 year old or a 17 year old and a 500 year old. Summer/Winter relationships are a thing in real life that work very well for some people too. Greater age can mean greater experience in some ways, so there will be some imbalance, but younger partners have plenty to contribute in the relationship.

I personally find these kinds of couples fascinating. Of course it will also depend on how they're written. If they love and respect each other and work hard to hash out the issues that come with the age difference, perfect. If the older one dominates the relationship because their partner is portrayed as too young and innocent to know this, that or the other thing, no.

sixteen and a thirty year old? That's extremely skeevy to me personally. Like an adult taking advantage of a child for sexual gratification.

AYRT: I was mostly using it for examples sake as 16 is a pretty common age of consent. Though I have seen a similar gap work for one pairing, I usually go with pairings where one character is 100's of years old: but as I mentioned, the couple would need to love and respect each other and be actively acknowledging and working through the age gap issues for me to read fic about it. If there was anything close to the older partner taking advantage of their partner or fetishizing the younger one's age I would back-button immediately. Also, there are some people/characters that are just more mature by 16 who do better with older partners.
