Challenge #11

In your own space, Talk about your favorite trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


My favourite trope is all kinds of misunderstanding, miscommunication and wrong assumptions.
I have the misunderstandings tag on ao3 permanently open in a tab.

The appeal is, it lets you milk all the drama of a conflict but comes with a built-in solution (only need to clear up the misunderstanding).
You can have the heartbreak of a character death; or the fury of catching your partner cheating… and still get a happy ending. I’m a sucker for those.

Also great potential for humorous stories, just crank up the stupidity of the misunderstanding, have the characters almost communicate, just barely missing each other…
