In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most.
I think some of my favorite tropes are a couple being competent together, bed sharing, fake relationships and hurt/comfort. There's something about unexpected intimacy from two people who feel an attraction but maybe are at a point of going, no, we won't/can't work. Hurt/comfort is wonderful for that jolt of wait, what if you're gone?
One reason that I love the RebelCaptain section of the Rogue One fandom is how there's this love of seeing Jyn and Cassian be competent and find their ways to be together. AUs are really popular which gives chances for them to be great at other things and with the spy element, pretend relationships that might not be that pretend. Not too long ago, I read this great fic that was from the point of view of an elevator operator and they were being a fake couple, Another Time, Another Elevator.
All of these tropes have ended up in my own writing for Jyn and Cassian and will keep appearing. I just started a figure skating/The Cutting Edge AU for them which will give great chances for admiring each other's competence and being physically close while working on trust. My Leverage AU actually started with me trying to figure out forced bed sharing and adds in other tropes as that's something Leverage does well of using those tropes to build real relationships.
