Non-sexual fanfic tropes/specific premises that you eat up with a spoon

[(Anonymous)]

Do you guys have any examples of fanfic tropes - from broad ones that can apply to any character or fandom, to ones that are specific to a certain character/relationship in one particular fandom - that are almost like a favorite kink of yours, but in a non-sexual way? Like, you devour them greedily and look for more and get an incredible id-ish thrill out of them, but all for non-sexual reasons?

De-aging fics. I love them so, so, so much.

Hurt/Comfort as well but that is a super broad one. I do have specific H/C tropes I like more than others.

Still obsessed with school-era Marauders fic in Harry Potter fandom.

I pretty much inhale everything that is well-written about Aragorn/Estel's childhood in Rivendell. Mind you, it's a premise that's easy for a lot of shitty authors in LOTR fandom, so it gets a lot of shitty fic, but I love it so much I'm willing to spend time sifting through the crap. It makes me feel happy in a way that only a few other fandom tropes can reliably accomplish.

idk what if it has an official name, I call it the Lotus Eater trope - a character gets trapped in some kind of artificial world where everything is gone right and they have everything they ever wanted, but they reject it because even if its perfect, its not real.

I lose it for that kinda shit.

[sparrow_lately]

I'm the biggest slut for h/c. I live for that shit. All the tropes. All of them.

I really love childhood fics, and it's a huge bonus if somehow the two halves of my ship met during their childhood, more or less forgot about it, until they're reunited and they start to remember their happy memories.

Re: Non-sexual fanfic tropes/specific premises that you eat up with a spoon

[(Anonymous)]

I hate to say it, because it's about the corniest fucking adolescent-ass shit possible, but I really do have a soft spot for fics where one character has major self-confidence or self-esteem issues and another character comforts them. Fucking disgusting, I know.

Re: Non-sexual fanfic tropes/specific premises that you eat up with a spoon

[philstar22]

Extreme hurt/comfort where characters are tortured or severely traumatized in some way and then have to heal (with realistic healing that takes a long time). Especially if the healing involves multiple other characters surrounding the hurt person and helping them and caring for them.

Sacrifice. As in characters giving up their life or safety for something. Like Harry in Deathly Hallows or the Nova Core in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Anything involving characters that had a strong friendship in the past meeting again after a long time and bonding again.

Anything involving telepathic bonds.

Fandom specificly, in Tolkien fics, I like fics where the Melkor and Sauron relationship is closer to equals. Where Sauron is arrogant and just stakes a claim on power. Where while he works for Melkor and Melkor is ultimately the boss, Sauron says what he things and does what he wants and they are both fine with this.

What is the worst way you've woken up?

[kaijinscendre]

I woke up at 7am this morning (after going to bed at 3am) to my mother screaming in panic, our dog barking, and items on my shelves crashing to the floor around me. I jumped up only to find out we were having a pretty violent and long earthquake. Apparently there was a 5.6 magnitude earthquake and the epicenter was an hour away from us.

As you can imagine, that was not a fun way to wake up. So what are some awful ways you've been woken up?

Inspired by the drag queen secret

Which actors/actresses who have played opposite-gender roles, crossdressed, or disguised themselves as the opposite gender, do you think looked best as the character they played?

Judgmental things you regret now

[(Anonymous)]

This isn't an "I'm a judgmental jerk" bragbook thread; rather, it's things you're sorry you were judgmental about.

Seemingly progressive things that actually sound skeevy

[(Anonymous)]

Because I saw something recently and it really skeeved me out.

Words you commonly misspell?

Weird wake-ups

[(Anonymous)]

A counterpart to the "worst way to wake up" thread... what are some ways you've woken up that weren't awful per se, but creepy or weird or even funny?

You don't know weird until you've worked in customer service

[(Anonymous)]

I'm willing to bet there's plenty of people here who've worked/are currently working in customer service. And that you've encountered some pretty weird situations while working. Come on, share your craziest stories.

I'll start with a tale from my last night shift.
It's midnight when suddenly an absolutely wasted young man enters the store and announces that he's been 18 for nineteen whole seconds. Strangely, he doesn't attempt to get more alcohol after that, but instead orders a hot dog. While I'm making his hot dog, he fills me in on the details of his Santa Claus obsession. Then he leaves with his food.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the store, a pack of truck drivers and watching a large wasp slowly burning itself to death in the bug zapper with rapt attention usually reserved for major sports events.
