Hero/Villain! Loves me some Hero/Villain. Oh yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

This may seem like an odd place to ask, but I've never personally got into hero/villain -pairings, so I was wondering what you specifically like about them?

DA

Depends on the specific pair. Sometimes I want something twisted and unhealthy and intense from the pair, to live through those darker but still compelling emotions vicariously (most of my MCU Loki pairs). Sometimes I want a redemption story where the hero side gradually draws the villain out of the hole they're in (most of my OUAT Rumplestiltskin pairs). Sometimes I want an exploration of two people who love each other on a personal level but are ideologically opposed to the point of being mutually exclusive (Charles/Erik, Harry/Marcone, several of my enemy/enemy pairs from crime or war fandoms). Sometimes I want something that's a hell of a ride but ends in tears, sometimes I want something I think might actually go somewhere healthy eventually, sometimes I want something tragic and star-crossed, and sometimes I just want something gloriously fucked up like no tomorrow.

Depends on the pair, depends on the mood. There's a lot of variation in hero/villain pairs, depending on the characters and the canon circumstances.

Yeah, I like all of those things, too. I just couldn't think of them, ha! Probably says a lot about my preferences that I went straight to "POWER GAMES" in my answer. :)

Thanks for replying, and with such details! :) Most of those reasons you listed don't really appeal to me, but I think I could maybe get behind the ideological differences one? And I kinda could get behind if the fics would explore other being really angry for falling for the other (I don't know if that's a thing that happens??).

Hmm. I've never thought about it in too much depth before, so bear with me!

I think it has something to do with the fact that, in fiction, I'm into relationships that feature power games and a lot of aggression. Hero/Villain pairings lend themselves really well to that sort of dynamic. I also really, really like the idea that two people who should hate each other, who have every reason to hate each other, are also so deeply attracted to one another that they reach a point where they can no longer fight it.

Yay, thanks for replying! :) I'm personally more into balanced relationships, so that might be it.

I also really, really like the idea that two people who should hate each other, who have every reason to hate each other, are also so deeply attracted to one another that they reach a point where they can no longer fight it.
Though, I have to admit, holy smokes that sounds hot, if properly explored.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. All of everything posted on this subject actually. Hero/Villain is so good.

[(Anonymous)]

For me, I like the dual lives kind. Where they like each other/fall in love in their "normal" life and then find out that they are enemies in the other, and how/if they get passed that!

Past* Oh my God.
