Rhetorical questions in fic summaries are a big pet peave of mine.

"[Insert clearly overdramatic scenario to tear the main pairing apart]. Is A and B's love strong enough to overcome all obstacles?"

Yes, yes it is. Because 99% of fandom lacks the guts to actually write a fic where the main couple separates and STAYS separate, and the few that do put a dozen tags in there to announce a sad ending so they won't get dog piled in the comments. I know your fic has a happy end. You know your fic has a happy end. What's the damn point of the rhetorical question here?

Exactly. None of the stories I've seen where the author is really planning to go for the tragic ending tease a good result this way, and I'm glad they don't, because overall I want to read those stories and not the fake-suspense-but-everything-goes-the-way-you-expect ones.
