Trope Meme

moth2fic made a trope meme post, and, since I was looking for a subject to blog about I asked her for some trope suggestions. Here they are:
arranged marriage/marriage of convenience
I don't think I've ever written this, and it certainly doesn't appeal. I can see it could have a role in historical fiction - but I like my characters not to be pawns.
hurt/comfort
My favourite trope! See who I can batter, in whichever way possible, and then provide the comfort. All the hugs, (cake for Lucas), and also the opportunity for the strong silent type to deny how badly hurt they are, and the equally strong silent type to provide discrete comfort without making a fuss about it.
aliens made them do it
Enter Rudybago, who is a positive presence. I'd never written mpreg (don't care for it), but when Rudybago's cousin doesn't realise that his willing partner doesn't know he can get pregnant, mpreg ensues: The Happy Couple. Generally I'm against lack of consent, although if there's a cracky theme, and it's upbeat, I'm happy.
mistaken identity

holmes_minor I'd say it's something I enjoy. It has its place in casefics, which I do enjoy writing. Although my favourite recent work has to be: That's Not Our Consulting Detective.
And if anyone's interested in more tropesushobwri on Dreamwidth has just started the Annual Shoobie Trope Fest
