fun tropes (10/10)
- (10/10) fake dating: need somebody to pretend to be my girlfriend so i can trick my family into thinking i'm a normal boy, thank you. requirements: laugh at my jokes please 

- (03/10) arranged marriage: look, i don't have an established plot for this, i just think arranged marriages are fun in all shapes and forms (except in reality because that's not cool)

- (05/10) petty rivals: heh. :anya_smirk: 

- (08/10) i'm sorry, but you've kidnapped the wrong person: look, i get it. there are a thousand other people who look just like me, but like, couldn't you have asked me to confirm or something? i swear to god kidnappers these days are so unprofessional. you can't find any good kidnappers these days, this new generation is so lazy. *rattles my loose handcuffs* you expect this to keep me at bay? *slips a hand out of the cuff easily* you can't even do this ri- DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK I COULD GET YOU FIRED RIGHT NOW

- (06/10) washed up on shore: soaking wet with the sticky residue of ocean water on your skin, a mouthful of sand which softened your landing onto shore from the crashing waves that continue to whip you from behind - how in the did you end up here? the last thing you could recall was... oh right... that's how...

- (07/10) freaky friday: burn out happens to the best and worst of us. whether you're standing on top of the world or if you've been trudging along at rock bottom, there comes a time when you just think to yourself that you're just tired of it all and you'd wish you were in a different body. except you didn't actually expect that wish to come true.


fluff (07/10)
- (04/10) butterflies: that ooey-gooey feeling of falling for somebody slowly and feeling your heart flutter when you think about them and when you're with them your senses get turned up to a thousand and just uwuwuwuwuwu all that fluffy goodness that's what i want but make it slowburn because we love conflicts that could be resolved by communicating hahahaha 

- (05/10) soulmate: enemies to lovers but we're soulmates. the world has a funny way of making us cross paths even despite our vastly different lives. the world is trying really ing hard to set us up actually but we're both stubborn and refuse to submit to our destiny to be lovers except once we declare to be sworn enemies that's when the cracks in our plan begin to show because we're acknowledging each other now and can't help but fall in love #getrekt 

- (05/10) savior: a saves b from a bad situation and b falls for a while a tries really hard to skirt around the affection because a doesn't think it's cool to take advantage of somebody who just got out of a bad situation like that just because b puts a on a pedestal for saving them but after b begins to rebuild their life with a's help, the two build a healthy relationship and a begins to change for the better with b's lead and realizes it's b who saved a from their aimless life or whatever and begins to fall for them too because we do mutual pining here we're all each others saviors no pedestals here we're equals ok >:( 

angst (4/10)
- (06/10) addiction: more than i hate you, i need you. i hate the person i am when i'm with you, but i hate living without you more. a toxic relationship with two people who would be better off apart but can't live their lives without the other. :) pure torture. 

- (08/10) almost: the two of them could have almost been something if they had just said something, but they didn't. time got the better of them and they mourned the heartbreak of what could have been all alone. years later they cross paths again, but can they open their hearts to each other after all this time? (the answer is probably yes but give me the suspense ok) 

- (09/10) a glimpse of the past: the one that got away comes back into your life. you thought you were happy where you were, but they give you a glimpse of the past and your heart can't help but yearn to return even though the two of you have moved on. 

- (09/10) in the mood for love (based off the movie* i haven't seen the movie): our spouses are seeing each other and i thought you should know. well, more than that, i just wanted to talk about it with somebody in the same boat. you've noticed, too, right? i thought i could just ignore it, but it's lonely pretending not to notice... i'm glad there's at least somebody in the world who could make me feel less alone.

pwp (03/10)
- (03/10) newlyweds: newlyweds doing cute fluffy newlywed things. 

- (08/10) long distance: separated by distance, but not time. the two make an effort to keep their relationship alive by any means possible even if they're apart. lots of mutual pining for each other physically lmao 

- (09/10) office taboo: a senior manager stays late to work on a project as the new hire stays behind to fix a mistake they made earlier in the day. The dark office is illuminated only by their two monitors. As the senior manager leaves for the night, the new hire asks for help on their problem and thanks them with a secret they'll have to keep from their coworkers and partners.
