Day 7

In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us some examples and recs. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Here's what I've got off the top of my head. I don't have any recs at the moment, although if you wanna rec a few things (esp. for the fandoms in my interest tags,) please feel free.

Trope: Curtainfic, at least lately, partially because the characters and relationships that I like most have had to deal with so much angst and battle and pain. I like to give them a bit of peace sometimes, although I could use a bit of practice writing peace in a way that isn't necessarily domestic. Different characters would want different things. Still, a lot of the ones I like would wish for a quiet life at home, at least for a while.

Kink: Xenokink is my bulletproof kink in fiction, because it's one of those things that's hard to experience outside of it. It almost doesn't matter what the difference is between the characters, as long as there are some interesting physical differences that the two of them are able to explore and have a lot of fun with - things that one partner can do that the other can't because of what they are or what they have, that sort of thing.
The other main one? Anything involving magic or psychic powers and their use in sex. (Physically, anyway - using mind powers during sex gets really close to rendering consent meaningless, and I can't handle that.)

Archetype: Loving mothers, especially the ones who are allowed to not die for their children.* If there's one thing that makes me tear up, it's scenes between mothers and their adult children, who might not be perfect to each other but who love each other even when they screw things up.
(*A lot of my fandoms suffer from Dead/Absent Mom Syndrome, and I'm thoroughly sick of it.)

Huh. I've never really thought about xenokink before. I've only ever read Star Trek things and all of those characters are human-like enough that no one looks into how ~relations would work. I think I'll look into that now...
