Fuck, Marry, Kill – with tropes!

[extrapenguin]

Via china_shop and solo:

Fuck: this trope takes over your primary fandom(s), but the rest of the internet (and your subsequent fandoms) remain as is OR you have to (hypothetically) read your way through the whole AO3 tag for this trope.
Marry: you will read/see this trope every day for the rest of your life.
Kill: this trope is wiped off the face of the internet.

So – give me a set of 3 tropes! If you want, I can give you 3 tropes for you to play with in response to your comment, too.

Enemies to lovers.
Found family.
Time loop.

ETA: and give me some, too?

Hmm! I have neutral to positive feelings on all those tropes. Perhaps I'll fuck time loop, as that would be the most fun to have as a one-fandom wonder to look back on fondly, and then ... hmm. I think I'll kill found family, since that usually verges more on glurge/not really what I'm here for, and marry enemies to lovers.

For you: Getting together, Developing relationship, Established relationship.

For you: Getting together, Developing relationship, Established relationship.

My first reaction to that list: AAAARGH, that's just cruel.

My second reaction: Hmmm, I think of "developing relationship" as a subtrope of "established relationship" (though you may have meant something else?), so I'll cliff the subset and keep the larger one. And then ... AAARGH. But I think I'll shag the get-togethers (there are so many; reading through the entire AO3 tag will take a LONG time) and marry the rarer established relationship. *g*

I generally see the divide as "developing relationship" being when they've just gotten together and are figuring things out, whereas "established relationship" is when they've been together forever and know each other well. Cooperating on finding the footing vs seamless cooperation, I guess? Though it's slightly complicated with the get-together/established relationship dichotomy lumping developing relationship mostly with established relationship.

And isn't cruelty here half the point? *g*
