this is a little specific but I’m looking for something where Character A is loudly in love with B, they were going to be together, no doubt about it. Maybe everyone knew that too. But circumstances force A to marry/be with C. C comes into the relationship hopefully, maybe looking forward to falling in love with A. They do too. But there is a lot of angst because of A’s derisiveness towards this sham of a marriage, their heart only belonging to B. He’s never going to love C (and for a good half of it he is devotedly in love with B). I would like A to be hostile to C (for trying to take B’s place but any reason would do). A ofc slowly falls in love with C but it nearly is too late. I’d like C to be kind of a gentle lovable character and for it to be heavy angst too if that’s there. C is in a lot of emotional pain. If there is any fic with this premise pls lmk i would be eternally grateful. Any fandom is fine.

I have this thing where i feel like i have to make them see the exact cinema in my head so the descriptions get too persnickety, too many adverbs. I know you should trust the reader but you need to see this micro-expression this character made it’s so good 😔 ahhh what do i do. somebody make the darlings more killable. Is this an OCD-haver thing? If you were someone who used to do this, but don’t anymore, how did you let go?

I would like to read something where it’s a character study of him as a person, especially where he’s not written as whiny or untouchable, but a human. It would be great if it explored themes of toxic masculinity. Just something where he’s complex and can get ugly but it comes from a place of being stuck in the cycle of you, your father who’s this way because of his father, kind of situation. Not particularly looking for it to be a ship fic, but don’t mind that as long as it’s largely a character study.
