things i rlly like in fic

• hurt/comfort HURT/COMFORT give me all the emotional pain and healing i absolutely ignore the latter in real life and cope by reading/writing lots of it i will eat up every single "X hugs Y and lets them have a good cry" fic in existence
• D O M E S T I C I T Y please give me more curtain fic than is reasonable, i fucking love seeing my OTP's moving in and living together and cooking together and sleeping together, bonus points if they're doing it during university, bonus points if their friends live reasonably close by too and they can all get together, which leads me to
• FRIENDSHIP!!! oh my god i fucking love it when groups of friends get together and go out for dinner or whatever, i love interactions between friends and best friends, the more the merrier, but also
• intense intense intense friendship like give me a best friend who is overprotective and is always growling around his princely best friend like "don't touch him i need to protect him" give me a friendship so amazing that the best friend's new partner has to take tips from the other best friend and practically needs to ask the best friend for their partner's hand
• pretty much every cute AU ever but okay here are some AU's i love:
  • UNIVERSITY OR OTHER EDUCATION-LEVEL AU'S but not like "let me conveniently send these people to university in the united states of white ppl because i, a white ppl, don't know how to write anything apart from the united states of white ppl"
  • SERVICE INDUSTRY AU'S coffeeshop/bakery AU's!! restaurant AU's!! chefs and clumsy serving staff!! baristas and smooth-as-fuck customers!! BARTENDERS AND THAT ONE DUDE WHO COMES IN EVERY SATURDAY AND ORDERS A COKE AND READS ABT MARXISM
  • badass AU's like jeeesus christ hnnng give me street racing, gambling, gangs, mobsters, assassins, government conspiracies, science fiction, kidnapping, CRIME!!! SEX AND VIOLENCE!!! I LIVE FOR IT!!! if written well.
• i don't read a lot of longfic my stamina ends at arnd 50k but yes within 50k give me slow build and angst and conflicts and "can this really happen" and then IT HAPPENS GIVE ME THE THINGS I CAN'T HAVE IN THIS LIFE
• ONE OF MY FUCKING FAVOURITE TROPES: GIVE X A SCARE BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO Y AND X THINKS THEY'RE GOING TO LOSE Y. i don't care if that leads to X and Y getting together, or X and Y making up after a fight, or even just them being happy before the incident and X just kind of realises HOW MUCH they love Y i will eat that stuff up with a spoon
• FUNNY FIC. OH MY GOD I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE FUNNY FIC. GIVE ME ANY KIND OF HUMOUR, SLAPSTICK HUMOUR OR SATIRE OR JUST A FEW WITTY QUIPS NOW AND THEN I'M HERE FOR FUNNY FIC I LAUGH EASILY AND FOR VERY LONG, I LOVE FUNNY FIC
• KID. FIC!!! KKID FIC. i have 30 pages of daddy issues so generally i don't like to see father/daughter interactions so i tend to avoid fics where my faves are raising lil girls BUT APART FROM THAT HONESTLY, I FUCKING LOVE KID FIC OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KID FIC!!! FAVES W KIDS!! KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS OR BABYSITTERS OR JUST PARENTS!!1
• two words: wedding. wait that's one word. BONUS IF IT'S IN CANONVERSE WHAT'S THE FUN OF A WEDDING IN AN AU ANYONE CAN GET MARRIED IN AU'S
• that being said a general thing: i love my AU's, but honestly i love all the general non-AU tropes i mentioned so far, i love those 20x more if they're in canon. like domesticity in CANON, give me 5k of DISGUSTINGLY cute misawa moving in together in eijun's first and miyuki's second year at university. hurt/comfort in CANON let's have akiteru and tsukki just Talking after a difficult match. FRIENDSHIP IN CANON EVERYONE JUST GETTING TOGETHER TO SHITTALK NAGISA AND REI AND HOW THEY'RE SO OBLIVIOUS AND DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAN'T DO WITHOUT EACH OTHER TBH so yes that sort of thing
• as for styles i'll read any style!!!!!!!! i don't like purple prose ofc, i also don't like ppl being fake deep but that's not a style that's just ppl lol like sometimes Just Chill it's ok our lives are angsty enough without u trying to put angst into like a high school professors AU let the children live go have some juice
• OH I LOVE SMUT WHETHER IT'S PWP OR A NICE STUDY OF SOMEONE DISCOVERING A KINK OR IF IT'S A SCENE IN A BIGGER STORY SEND ALL NC17 STUFF MY WAY AS LONG AS IT'S NOT TOO KINKY (i'll mention kinks i Do Not Like below ya) and BONUS POINTS FOR F/F NO LIE NO LIE

things i ehhhhhh

• STOP MIGRATING CHARAS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AVOCADO FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN THAT YOU WANT TO IMPOSE YOUR WHITE PPL SAN FRANCISCO LIFESTYLE ON EVERYONE EVEN THROUGH FANFICTION. DO YOU SEE ME WRITING KARASUNO GOING TO MUMBAI??????? WTF??? YES I GET WANTING TO WRITE ONLY WHAT YOU KNOW WELL BUT YOU CAN GET ENOUGH REFERENCES FROM CANON TO WRITE NICE FIC WITHOUT HAVING BEEN TO THE COUNTRY WHERE CANON IS SET, AND IF U CAN'T THEN JUST DON'T MENTION DETAILS LIKE THAT? BE VAGUE. WRITERS KNOW HOW TO BE VAGUE.
• SERIOUSLY UNLESS IT'S A WELL-RATIONALISED AU (LIKE I READ THIS SMASHING REINCARNATION ERERI THAT WAS SET IN NYC AND IT FUCKING MADE SENSE) LIKE KAGAMI GOING BACK TO AMERICA, OR SOMEONE GOING TO A EUROPEAN COUNTRY AND /DISCOVERING/ AS A NON-EUROPEAN HOW EUROPE WORKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, DON'T GIVE ME UR DUMB CITIES JUST LIKE THAT
• character death. oh mygod ogoer. gehrogh h h. n nno oo . .. if they're not part of the main characters featured i might be able to take it... but usually jst N o......no...pls no
• SAD FIC BASICALLY. LIKE UNLESS IT'S SO BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN THAT IT WILL REALLY DO ME GOOD ACADEMICALLY AND FOR INSPIRATION TO READ IT, JUST. NO SADFIC. NO BREAK UPS NO DEATHS NO "this was a huge dream of mine and it broke and now i'm going to live my life the way i can". like no. you don't know how much i respect people who can write something like that and good god the people who actually live that life, i can't even begin to imagine how patient and accepting they are, but i am just not the kind of person who can take a story like that. i can't do it. i am so thirsty for my dreams and ambitions that something like that scares the living shit out of me so NO SAD FIC PLEASE
• that being said if someone ever ends up writing a fic that is about how they fucking love a person and will never get them and are still determined to live their life etc then i will read that fic 40 times
• FOR SMUT I AM MOSTLY VANILLA SO basically almost no fancy stuff except like. bondage. i love bondage i love all the emotional implications so :3c
• ALSO JUST DO NOT WITH INFIDELITY. LIKE NO BASELESS INFIDELITY. IF UR CHARA IS UNFAITHFUL TO THEIR PARTNER THERE BETTER BE A SMASHING REASON
• hmm this might be rlly strange but more re: sadfic, i might just be able to take a break up if there is some incredible reason but fics abt break ups that are just on account of the relationship not working out...i don't like those unless the charas remain great friends and treat it as a "rmb that time we tried to date and realised it's not for us" thing yes
• brother/sister interactions let's just not
• I THINK THAT'S ABT IT
• i don't like blogger AU's tho
