Trope-tastic

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Like misbegotten, I, too, found the Ultimate Fanfic Trope Showdown to be a lot of fun. Try not to pick 'I like both' or 'No opinion' so you get an actual ranking. Here are mine. No surprise that I like unrealistic AUs like soulmate & telepathy and vampires & werewolves and omegaverse.
