A fair point about identifying, but I'd also throw in, there are a lot of people who want the uwu payoff without the interesting yet difficult work of ICly getting them there. which is...okay, I guess, fic thinking and creativity can be very hard and draining. but at the very least make that clear with summaries, setting, tags, idk whatever. even just an author's note "I know they hate each other but I want to pretend" would be great. the ones you and I and most everyone in this thread object to are the ones that are transparently NOT that, the writing makes it clear that the writer just self-inserted or fucked off into goofy-ville with no thought put into it. those are the absolutely most frustrating.
