I do write fluff! I think this is one of the cases where it would make more sense with the specifics but the specifics are too specific, if that makes sense? It's... there is trope X; it's a common enough trope, but it runs very, very counter to who the characters are and what they stand for. I could write it as a bit of fluff--there would be readers because there are always readers for that trope--or I could stay true to the characters and the source, and *attempt* (not necessarily succeed, but put in a damn good effort) to make it emotionally plausible and tackle some of the issues that make the source so wonderful.

And if I'm going to write Trope X, I *want* it to be good; I'm convincing myself it could work as much as I'm convincing the readers, really. But when I'm 30K into a fic and still layering the subplots and nowhere near where I expected to be and I have well-meant comments reminding me that people have Expectations now and I find myself wishing that a better writer was taking this story on to do it justice? I find myself going "But, but... I could just write a few thousand words of fluff and never deal with Expectations again!" I won't--the story deserves better, the fandom deserves better (it is, seriously, amazing), and I won't be happy unless I do my best and I *am* excited to write something with these themes. I just wish I'd written this fic BEFORE I discovered the weight of other people's expectations.
