here are things i enjoy:

• mutual or one-sided pining is one of my fave tropes. throw in (not too aggressive) jealousy and i'm sold.
• sweet dashes of fluff.
• future fic/aged up.
• long distance (and reunions).
• secret dating or fake dating.
• getting together.
• friends-to-lovers.
• implied nsfw.
• cute aus (coffee shop, uni, role/age reversal, etc).
• slow build, coming of age, and character study fics.
• gen fic is always a weakness!!
• soft, subtle, gentle, fluid writing always grips my heart.

here are things i don't enjoy as much:

• gory, action-y stuff.
• character death.
• unhappy endings.
• terminal illness.
• infidelity/cheating.
• a/b/o, bdsm/bondage (basically anything that involves hurting your partner), mpreg.
• angst for the sake of angst.
• too many ships in one fic; because i click on a story for one specific ship most of the time, you know?
• i'm indifferent to smut; i don't really go looking for it myself, but i'm okay if it appears in a fic.

this list refers to both reading and writing fic. it's not complete by any means, and of course there are always exceptions to the rules! but generally i'm a sucker for canon fics, happy endings, and realistic angst. and i always welcome fic recs! ☀
