call for fic-kinks

[fahye]

I put this request out via email but I figure I'll throw it open to the world, too:

What plot devices are your pet loves? I'm not really interested in fandom-specific stuff, just devices that you really love seeing. As major or minor or profound or ridiculous as you like.

(This is in the interests of helping me develop structure for a WIP that I have just unearthed, so bonus points for things creating tension/deepening the dynamic between people in an established relationship, but absolutely anything will be helpful. I'd like to be able to pull this post up for inspiration at a later date!)



- Anger and/or violence on behalf of (or in revenge of) the other party.
- Convoluted and very character-specific declarations of love.
- Conspiracies! (Like in, say, Twelfth Night.)

Affairs of any kind get me every time: bulletproof kink, yo. I think pretty much every pairing I've ever obsessed over has one or both parties involved with someone else. Anything really good that keeps them apart but desperate for each other is fine by me. I also love buddycop vibes of all kinds. That level of friendship or close workmates that shifts into desire over a long period of time. I also really like partnerships where there's a great deal of equality as opposed to clear gender delineations, particularly if the woman is the one going out and sexxing more than the guy.

OMG, this is completely not what you were asking about, hee. Oh well, I'll post it anyway and if I think of actual specific plottish things I'll return later and re-comment :)
