Saw this in a fic group I'm in and after the Pasta Is A Vampire joke the other day it felt fitting. 😅
This was the utmost fun!
I got to know a lot of tropes I haven’t hear before.
Thanks! @cielo-paradiso
I'm so tired of people being ashamed/embarrassed over the fanfiction tropes they like because of fear that others will disagree. So, I'm here and sharing all the tropes I like! Normalize sharing and talking about tropes that you like, its such a unifying thing across fandoms, and we should all celebrate our different preferences.
Make yours here!
Tagging a few mutuals! Feel free to participate or just ignore this if you aren't keen on sharing. @impishtubist @howtomakelovestay @immxrtalbi Have fun :)
better than drugs
I love cliché. Give me more, please.
the good thing about being told that writing about a certain cliché or concept should be avoided “because it’s overdone” is that you can simply. ignore that and write about it anyway if you so desire. like it is that easy
A new bagde appears during Harry's fourth year, one he is willing to wear ;)
When he entered the empty classroom, Cedric was already there.
His gaze stopped at the badge on his chest.
"Now I feel bad that I'm not wearing one with your name on it. I didn't know that… we would do those things. I think I could get one with your face on it."
Harry chuckled, a little embarrassed because it just read:
THE HUFFLEPUFF OF YOUR HEART.
Yes, that was Cedric.
At least the twins hadn't used his image.
Not that it wouldn't be nice… On the contrary…
"Please, no. Not one with my face on it,” Harry requested with an amused smile. "You've been defending my name these weeks, I've heard it. You shouldn't have. You could've turned people against you," he said and continued before Cedric could get a chance to reply. "This way everyone knows that I support you. It's like a statement. And well, I do too. It's something I would have done anyway. Support you and wear one of those silly badges."
Cedric muttered a thank you and Harry sat down next to him on the desk.
"I wouldn't want them on my side if they're against you."
With his knee against his leg, Harry looked up at Cedric and wished with all his heart he could kiss him while he managed to carry on a conversation as if he wasn't dying inside.

How much I wish I was any good at drawing to make this badge real. But well, art is art.

I love Cedric Diggory. Not only because he’s georgeous (insert Taylor Swift song) but he is also in some way a version of a popular boy, but make it good. He’s nice and a Hufflepuff. What is there not to love? Good boys didn’t use to catch most eyes in fiction. I remember the bad-boy era.
This may be a controversial opinion.
I love spoilers.
It might just be my anxiety but still. I get so excited when finding out things that will happen later in a book/series. Like what? Why? How? And then I see it and it clicks and makes sense.
"Sorry. This... I don't…"
Cedric hugged Harry immediately, wrapping his arms over his.
Harry shifted on his chest, adjusting his glasses with one hand while holding onto Cedric's robes with the other. Then he also placed it on his back, hugging Cedric back tightly enough. Considering that they had kissed once, Cedric thought that this was more out of friendship. The thing was, he liked Harry a lot and he didn't know what was right or proper to do anymore.
His judgment was dubious, confused and blurry when it came to Harry.
Still, none of that would stop him now.
"I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you," Cedric murmured into his hair, resting his cheek on top of his head. "I thought you might need a hug,” he explained when they pulled away several minutes later. "I think I should've asked before."
“Of course you can hug me."
Cedric barely resisted the urge of doing it again.
"I needed it. Thank you,” Harry continued and sighed. "This was not what I expected. You should be the champion… I'm sorry, Ced. That I…"
"You didn't put your name. You do not have to apologize…"
"No one will believe me."
The certainty in his voice as he said it.
Cedric wanted to deny it, but he didn't know.
“And they're not going to find a way to get me out of this. A magical contract that I can't break and things like that," Harry repeated the conversation he had with the Headmaster and the others. "Dumbledore has tried, but… I'll have to."
"You won't be alone," Cedric assured, barely holding him by the shoulder. "We will do this together. What do you say?"
"I say… I'm not familiar with the rules yet, but it doesn't sound like it's within them. Karkarov was quite upset that there were two of us instead of just one."
How could he tell him how much he didn't mind “cheating”?
"I guess I'd call it teamwork. We may be alone in the field, but not out of it. You're my friend and I'm not leaving you because of any kind of rule or anything like that, so we're in this together," he said and as he escorted Harry to his common room, Cedric had a couple of ideas that he shared with him: training sessions for the two of them, practice spells and accompany each other.
He wouldn't abandon Harry on his own.
"Yesterday you offered to help me if I was ever in trouble," he recalled, suddenly slowing his pace. "And here I am, way too soon... You were right. I didn't change my mind about that, but… This time I'll accept it."
"This time you can't refuse."
Harry chuckled softly.
One last hug and he passed through the portrait.

There is nothing I love more than rewriting the canon moments but make it hedric's version

I like The Vampire Diaries and Twilight so ofc I wanted to read the Crave series.
And I did.
Love it.
Except for the same thing I didn’t like in Twilight books. It’s not like most people read it for the plot. More like plot-what-plot. It’s romance. The characters matter so much. And I hate when the plot takes over everything, like it was a good idea for sure but why everything has to revolve around it and there it no space for anything else?
I wanted to read more about Edward and Bella and their child, along with every other character.
And on Court… Everything is so fast and we’re there wondering about the missing holes.
Can somebody forget the plot and give amazing, cute, romantic scenes with happiness and not always suffering? They deserve to live good times too. Lots of books or movies have like a few pages/minutes of a happy ending.
