I feel like my final list is not actually true because I change my mind on what each trope means depending on context, which in this case was the trope it was matched up against!
Rank Name 1 Snowed-In Cabin/Isolated Together For Extended Period of Time 2 Enemies to Friends to Lovers 3 Magical Connection (Telepathy, etc) 4 Fake Dating/Fake Marriage Accidentally Turns Into Feelings 5 Fairy Tale/Mythology AU
6 Daemons 7 Royals/Political Marriage Turns Into Feelings 8 Seemingly Unrequited Pining 9 Soulmate Identifying Marks (Tattoo, Red Thread of Fate, etc) 10 Adopting/Raising a Baby 11 Friends to Lovers 12 Vampires/Werewolves AU 13 Supernatural Creature/Human Romance 14 Hogwarts AU 15 Accidentally Fell In Love With The Mission Target 16 A/B/O 17 Found Families 18 Loyalty Kink 19 Pride and Prejudice AU 20 'Everyone is Evil'/Mirrorverse AU 21 'Groundhog Day'/Karmic Time Loop 22 Characters Swap Roles AU (I don't mean in the bedroom) 23 'Falling For A Coworker/Teammate Is A Bad Idea' Except This Is Fiction So It Works Out 24 Amnesia Fic 25 Hurt/Comfort 26 And They Were Roommates! 27 Body Swapping 28 Hot Single Parent(s) 29 They Break Up (but then They Get Back Together) 30 Unusually Specific Occupation AU, Like, The Author Clearly Has The Same Job 31 Actually Unrequited Pining 32 Reincarnation/'25 Lives' AU 33 Polyamory 34 'They All Work In An Office' AU 35 High School/University AU 36 Coffee House AU/Food Service AU 37 Selfcest (possibly due to time travel)
but the real list is more like:
1) Competence (how! how can they not have included competence!) 2) Fealty (their linked definition of Loyalty Kink is REALLY not the same as mine) 3) Antagonist/counterpart romance 4) Bonding (really any imposed connection) develops into chosen connection 5) AUs that create interesting new stakes and worldbuilding
10) Isolated together 11) Huddling for warmth 12) Family/kid fic 13) Hurt/comfort
the others are in here in a vague cloud, happy to read them, wouldn't immediately jump
100) Artificial conflict/misunderstandings 1000) Unhappy endings 1,000,000) Mundane AUs
But the REAL real answer is that it totally depends on the fandom! What I want is different depending on the fandom and the pairing. But OKAY fine, that is much less interesting for quiz purposes, I GRANT YOU.
