Re: What themes or tropes do you avoid reading in fic?

Unrequited love fics with a bad ending. Unrequited love in general. Used to like it before but now I’m bitter and lonely and prefer my ships getting together in the end.

This doesn’t include fics where all parties are involved and THINK they’re love is unrequited. Couple that with mutual pining and a warm bed and I’m set for the night.

Oh man, it drives me a little crazy that people use the "unrequited" tag for fics where the character mistakenly think their love is unrequited when it actually isn't, because HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH WAY YOU MEAN IT?!! Fortunately, you can usually tell which way they mean it by the other tags that are used, but there's always a degree of risk there that you're going to get knifed in the feels by an actual unrequited love scenario. Which is not something I handle well.

Well, on the rare occasion I'm reading fics that don't involve one of my OTPs, then sure, bring on the unrequited angst. But I mostly only read fics featuring my OTPs, in which case I am WAY too invested to handle unrequited love scenarios.

All of this. (I read an unrequited fic that bothered me so much I wrote a sequel where they got together. I didn't post it anywhere because it was building off their idea, but it made me feel better.)
