Snowflake Challenge 2015 - Day 7

snowflake_challenge  - Day 7

In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us some examples and recs.

This is quite difficult because I'm reading a broad variety of stories. I don't actively look for certain tropes. When my favourite authors release something new, I'm going to read it. But, yes, there are some tropes/clichés or themes I enjoy very much. My rec-list-bookmarking-system is non-existent, therefore I included recs that I was able to find.



Threesomes

I *might have mentioned this some time before. I'm not so sure why I like reading about it, but I'm curious about the dynamics, in and out of bed. It doesn't always have to be a three-way-lovestory, I also like reading about couples with a best friend.

"Everybody Get Up (We're Here To Get Down)" by sunsetmog is porn with feelings (which is probably also a trope/theme I like. I wrote some stories I called PWI - porn with issues-  which I also like a lot).



Pining, misunderstandings

The first fics I read were those friends-to-lovers-pining-going-on-forever stories, and I still love them. I love having my heart torn apart until the happy ending.



AUs

I prefer to read about the bandom guys and girls being in their bands. But because there are AUs out there, I read them. And a lot of those stories are wonderful.

The Killjoys-verse is an AU itself, created by My Chemical Romance in their album and videos, but the writers in fandom have developed the canon for me. And it's not even a consistent canon. Sometimes the musicians are the Killjoys, sometimes they exist in addition to them. And I don't mind because every story I read is great, builds its own world, but adds to the universe as a whole.

I can't speak of Killjoys AU and not rec "The Sharpest Lives" series by akamine_chan . It shaped my knowledge and love for this universe.
Recently I read "Set Fire to the Bones" by Chibifukurou who created a different but very intriguing world for the Killjoys.

But apart from that, I also really enjoy the odd Coffeeshop-AU or College-AU with everybody in bandom turning up as some character. They are usually quirky and fun.



Spencer Smith POV

I'm making it a trope if it isn't already one.
Spencer Smith is the drummer in Panic! At The Disco. I love reading stories where he's the only reasonable one in the band. I love him when he's sarcastic and grumpy. It's the best when he's pining (preferably after Brendon). There are many best-friend stories about that band that are brilliant. I usually like when people switch roles, but when Spencer's a caring top - nngh!

"Put Your Finger On My Trigger" by greedy_dancer is the best example of the latter.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who thinks of the Killjoys and MCR as being separate. Here's someone explaining to me that I'm confused about the whole issue. *snort*

I remember that comment. Some people are so literal! (And I seem to remember reading a Gerard/Party Poison BBB story that was not by you. *looks on Pinboard* Yes, I didn't imagine it! It's croissantkatie's Claw Your Way Back.)

[turlough]

Threesomes rock!

And so does Killjoys fic! I have that story by Chibifukurou bookmarked. Must remember to read it some day.

(This icon showed up as the first choice of the Random button! Coincidences are wonderful things :-)

[winterlover]

Yay, great icon!
I can recommend this fic. It's so different than other Killjoys verses but very capturing. And I really like the artwork that is included on AO3 as well.

[winterlover]

I really like both interpretations and in my Killjoys-ficlets they're two seperate persons, too. Which doesn't mean I wouldn't write it differently if I'd be otherwise inspired.

That's the great thing about imagination.

Also thanks for the link, Turlough!

I like your Spencer POV trope. It's such a shame Panic fic seems to be way down. Though I say that as a person still stuck on a love for v2.

Threesomes are awesome. As are AUs. You have great taste.

[winterlover]

I came late to bandom so there's still a lot of fic for me to discover. But yes, I'm also a bit sad when writers who wrote my favourite fics have moved to other non-bandom fandoms now. Their writing's still brilliant, but it's not the same.
