What are your favourite niche/micro tropes?
Some tropes that you feel aren't used enough or that only occur in a small portion of a story? I'll start:
When a love interest falsely believes that the other person is a player/much more experienced than they are. Off the top of my head it occurs in On and Off as well as My Guildmate Next Door. I find that this is a low stakes misunderstanding that isn't gonna make me rip my hair out with frustration, or my heart out in pain. A lot of the time it just gives us some cute flustered moments ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I also love when a character has a subconscious dream about someone before they had awakened to their feelings, but this always hits especially hard when the person dreaming had been an asshole prior. Love dreams aren't too uncommon, but humbling dreams are where it's at. It's no longer on the site but I think Banana Scandal season 2 had this, and maybe BJ Alex?
