It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.
Spread the Word :)
⇢ Emotional Timing ( When One Opens Up and the Other Isn’t Ready, Yet)
There’s something so devastatingly real about when characters miss each other, not physically, but emotionally. One’s finally ready to be honest, to be seen… and the other? Still hiding. Still pretending. That emotional dissonance creates a whole different kind of electricity: one rooted in vulnerability, silence, and the ache of almost.
“I trust you,” she said, voice low, eyes steady. He looked at her, and for a second, he almost said it back. But then his smile cracked, soft and sad, and he looked away like the words were burning holes in his throat.
This isn’t the moment they fall into each other’s arms. This is the moment they could have. And those moments still haunt.
Use this when:
You want slow burn that hurts a little
Your characters are stubborn, scared, or emotionally constipated (bless them)
The closeness builds from not-quite-connecting, until one of them finally breaks
⇢ Silent Support ( When They Don’t Say It, But They Show It)
Sometimes the most romantic thing a character can do is just… be there. No speeches. No dramatic gestures. Just showing up, quiet, consistent, unwavering. The kind of person who notices when your laugh sounds tired.
He didn’t say anything when he found her curled up on the kitchen floor. He just sat next to her, their shoulders barely touching, and slid his hoodie off without a word. A minute later, she was wearing it. Five minutes later, she was breathing again.
This isn’t about grand declarations. It’s about the kind of love that doesn’t demand to be acknowledged. The kind that waits. That steadies. That speaks fluent silence.
Use this when:
You want to show love without “I love you”
You’re building intimacy through actions, not words
Your characters aren’t the touchy-feely, talk-it-out types
⇢ Emotional Whiplash (When Conflict Turns Intimate Too Fast)
This is the classic “We were fighting five seconds ago and now I want to kiss you” moment. Because nothing stirs up feelings like frustration mixed with closeness. When characters clash, especially if there’s emotional history or denial involved, it creates heat. They’re already fired up. Already in each other’s space. Now throw in a little vulnerability and BAM, you’ve got magnetic chaos.
“Why do you care what I do?” she snapped, stepping closer. “Because I...” He bit the word back, jaw tight. His fists clenched at his sides. She stared, breath caught in her throat. “Because I do,” he said finally, quieter this time. “More than I should.”
Enemies to lovers. Friends to what even are we. That line-blurring, heart-pounding tension where the air is thick and the truth almost slips out, that’s where this trope lives (I Love It).
Use this when:
You want chaos, angst, and chemistry all at once
Your characters are in denial and one good argument away from kissing
You want something to break open and then immediately regret it
As a fanfic writer, I can say without any shame that I've managed to finish writing my fics thanks to AI.
Anxiety and Insomnia :DDD
Algún día voy a escribir algo tan bueno que se me cumplira mi sueño de que me regalen un fanart
I don't read that much multichaptered fics. But I'll let these ones here
MULTICHAPTERED FICS:
I've read more, but they are in hiatus (goddamn) or in another language. Feel fre to recommend more and add to the list ;DDD
Sometimes I fall down Pinterest rabbit holes. This time it was narusaku fanart. I think that's one of my top pairs for Sakura after Kakashi. There's no way she would have let him be such a shit dad like he was in Boruto. They're cute. Idk. Does anyone have some top tier fic recs?
If anyone knows who's art this is, let me know so I can credit them. Pinterest is the worst for fan art 😭
(anyways anyone got any interesting outsiders fic recs that maybe by some miracle i havent read yet)
song fic: boyfriend by dove cameron
lyrics: "I can't believe we're finally alone I can't believe I almost went home What are the chances everyone's dancing And he's not with you?
The universe must have divined this What am I gonna do
Not grab your wrist?
I could be a better boyfriend than him I could do the shit that he never did Up all night, I won't quit
Thinkin' I'm gonna steal you from him I could be such a gentleman Plus all my clothes would fit
I could be a better boyfriend I don't need to tell you twice All the ways he can't suffice If I could give you some advice I would leave with me tonight"
story: canon time jump. but no more A. no cece. alison is dating someone guy (elliot, lorenzo, original character). the relationship is fine and alison thinks he's who she wants but emily disagrees.
and take it from there....
one shot or multi-chapter
smut is not a necessity unless you feel like writing it
*i would love it if multiple writers took a shot on their version of this but fingers crossed at lease one does*
*i prefer ao3 & fanfiction.net but if anyone writers this than idc where you upload it just let me know*
i am here and i still love emison and i want more fanfiction.
if x files fans can still consistanly provide new fan fiction near 20 years after the series original run ended, i know you guys can still give us emison fics 5 years after pll.
canon or AU
pining is a must
ao3 or fanfiction.net
you ever read smut for your fav character, look at the tags, and think, “man, they would have a praise kink”
finding a fanfic you really like somewhere in the most hidden corner in your native language with your favorite way of writing and your silly little characters and seeing like "oh its only 8 chapters !!! whatever can be made out of this !!" and then seeing they're all so short and you're by 3 and the story hasnt started and going "well they'll introduce the characters soon right? very quickly at it too! i like me a speedy fic" and then noticing its done and you still havent seen your blorbos and going "owh. well they'll update soon right????" and seeing it was made in 2016 by magicalunicorngirl123 and last updated christmas 2017 by just a few words and they have only posted that fic in that fandom and nothing more... it all falls down on you to find another thing to seek your dead fandom's comfort in
This is my first Wicked Fan Fiction.

I read a fanfic about Gabe and Luci where it was the scene from Game of Thrones where Dany sees Khal Drogo and her son in the tent. I cannot find it anywhere and it was a really good story! Also, if I remember correctly, it was either on Ao3 or Fanfiction.net. Those are the two I usually find things on anyway. If I find it, I'll link it to this post so you guys can read it but I cannot currently find it. Help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance! ~Lia
Btw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaB4-kZgNoc this is the GOT scene I was talking about.
