Challenge #9: Discuss Your Favorite Tropes

There's a lot of tropes I love to read/watch/write. One of my favorites is Slice of Life.

I adore watching my favorite characters live an ordinary life. I like seeing them have a meal, go shopping, hang out. Their simple joy brings me immense joy. 😍 I love it when I get to see these moments in canon and in fanfiction, between friends and between my ships.

It's a really fun, easy, and relaxing trope for me to write about. It also helps that it can encompass various other cutesy plots and tropes like Curtain Fic, Fluff, School AUs...

And it's especially satisfying to see/read/write when the canon is normally full of action, because dipping into slice of life feels like a reward for all the hard work everyone had to go through. Job well done, team, now go get some ice cream!

Slice of life really can be such a joy. I'm an angst hound and I love to put my faves through an emotional meat grinder, but you're so right that writing fic about them doing something ordinary feels like a reward for all the action (or angst). The struggle makes the quiet moments even sweeter.
