college professors make the lectures so boring that sometimes their voices just fade into the back of person a’s thoughts. sometimes theyre tired and wanna do something else but cant because they dont wanna fail. however, this rainy morning, person a notices that a classmate: person b, who is seated right in front of them; is watching a movie. person a watches, too, though, not knowing what the characters are saying and after a few minutes, person b looks back and notices person a is staring at their screen: this amazing person – who is person b – puts the subtitles on and makes person a fall for them.
the older person a gets, the more boring the holidays become. on new years eve, they plan on curling up in their warm blanket, trying not to cry because they just fucking hated the year and it’ll be the same for the upcoming year as well. but little did they know, person b is already knocking on their door: constantly banging on the door, screaming ‘happy almost new year, neighbour!’
that’s when person a is stuck with person b to celebrate new years together. however, person a keeps being a pessimistic asshole and keeps complaining how they should just sleep, or even heck, they’ll rather do work than celebrate. even though, they’re complaining, person b keeps on trying to celebrate new years with their neighbour and eventually, roping person a into a slow dance just before the new year begins.
otagged by @elliewan:) tagging@alexandra-savoy as well as @quotes-of-r6and@aceupmysleeve13 I HAD SM TYPED OUT AND MY DRAFT DIDNT SAVE THIS IS DUMB anyways im gonna retype all this while trying to remember what i put a week ago
friends to lovers or enemies to lovers (like hero/villain) is a favorite trope of mine! songs like champagne problems by taylor swift reminds me of that kind of thing in a way? like an old friend, almost. lovely familiarity
cliches like jock/nerd or bad guy/smart preppy kid are also a fun one! if youve read one of us is lying, then youll know what i mean when i say bronwyn/nate n their relationship. ALSO CAN I MENTION COOPER AND KRIS- anyways no spoilers.
high school aus are also fun! ngl im totally into the cliche of confessing via talent show
common angst tropes (cheating, unrequited love, etc.) the sadder, the better for me. hurt/comfort is nice, but i like sad endings! sad endings are nice, especially if ive needed a good cry. now im not saying these are good things, but theyre good for sad fics if that makes sense
magical or fantasy au type stuff are fun things for me. or even kingdom aus! harry potter au? sure! something almost like the lion, the witch and the wardrobe? sure! magic is something i love! mermaids? fairies? sure!
crime aus are things im not so into. or prison aus. not my type of thing! however mafia aus are more my style, to an extent. im not so into reading gore much.
spy aus sort of go hand in hand with crime aus in a way, but really, these arent my style either. not my personal taste
horror aus are also not my thing. ive never been a big horror fan. i can hardly watch thriller movies tbh.i cant sit in the same room or hear it
there are probably more, but this is everything i thought of :’)
feel free to ask about my opinions on other tropes in my ask box :)
in his book, Ambrose wrote that after the Battle of the Bulge, Speirs and Lipton spent a night in an old German couple’s house due to Lipton’s pneumonia. The room had only a single bed and Speirs said Lipton should sleep on it. As an enlisted man, Lipton said it wasn’t right but Speirs simply answered, “You’re sick,” which then settled it.
“The First Daughter is for the throne. The Second Daughter is for the Wolf.” - Hannah Whitten
For the Wolf was such an entertaining read. I started reading it for the Read Better Book Club and I found myself finishing the book in a matter of days because I couldn’t put it down. It was just so engaging and had ALL THE TROPES I love. Marriage of convenience, ONLY ONE BED, grumpy/sunshine. Would 10/10 recommend!
