I love sex pollen fics. But I love them for being a way to make two characters who are deeply in love but just as deeply in denial have hot, frantic sex. Sex pollen fics where the characters aren't already in love before they get dosed just aren't interesting to me.

Same with arranged marriage fics. I love when the characters agree that it's a legal marriage and nothing more, and agree to stay out of each other's way and make the best of things...and then end up falling deeply in love with each other involuntarily, while angsting about the fact that the other has made it very clear that they're not interested in any of that.

So basically, I like the opposite versions of the same tropes, lol.

Original Anon - I confess, when I wrote that description I kind of cobbled together a few arranged marriage fics I've read and liked, some summaries that were dynamite but the fic ended up being badly written, plus my own ideas about what would make for an awesome Arranged Marriage fic. So basically, I was kind of cheating by describing a fic that I...haven't precisely ever read, lol. But I very much would like to! Holy god would I read the hell out of that fic. And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. :)

I guess most people who write Arranged Marriage fics tend to have preferences more in line with OP's, because I feel like the majority of Arranged Marriage fics jump right to the sex without much build-up.

I know, I know, "write what you want to read."

Yes, exactly. In fact, I don't think I have ever read one of these fics that was actually simply about het PWP and none of that mushy love/romance stuff. I'd argue that it's hard to find a GOOD one of these without those elements, in fact. By definition, het PWP doesn't need plot, after all.
