What tropes do you like and which one do you like the most for taejun?

first of all, i dont know if other authors have it like this too, but i have different tropes that i like to read and different tropes that i like to write.

when it comes to reading, i love fluff and everything lovey dovey, fake relationships, enemies to lovers (my number one trope of all time, both to read and to write), idiots in love... you know, just fics that are warm and end happily.

when it comes to writing though... i love misunderstandings, unrequited love, lovers to strangers, soulmates, hurt/no comfort, slice of life, secret relationship and yk all the tropes that leave a lingering feeling that you cant get rid of even days after reading them. i really wish to become that kind of writer who writes beautifully and it blows your mind and it makes you cry but after you calm down, you feel happy that you could let the tears flow, because in the end, you feel understood and seen.

when it comes to taejun, its definitely enemies/rivals to lovers. LIKE LETS BE REAL HERE FOR A SECOND: 1) they would have the hottest heated arguments ever, 2) they both are very competitive and theyre perfectionists, 3) the rivalry would swallow them whole and they would be so obsessed with each other <33, 4) its like they know theyre the best at what they do, but eventually there are these doubts crawling from the dark which fuel the hatred even more until they suddenly break, 5) OH I LOVE IT WHEN ENEMIES GET TIRED OF COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER like :(( wdym you no longer hate me? :(( when did you stop obsessing over me? :(( i guess you truly hate me huh :(( oh, okay :((, 6) they are even more passionate about loving each other than they ever were about hating each other, sorry i dont make the rules <3
