Actual tropes: Birds of a Feather, Love at First Sight, Outlaw Couple, idk what else. They're very similar but also incredibly different in ways that make them work to be more complete people in their own right. It's pretty nuanced. Hard to pin down like that.

Passionate, devoted, besotted. They'd raze the world to the ground for each other.*

*Actually, they *say* that, but they both know the other would die for their world, so they'd *save* the world for each other.

Viago, on the other hand, *would* raze the world to the ground for his little Amelia.

Tagging is always my least favorite part of posting fics so uhhh- older man/younger woman, do-over, reunited and it feels so good, emotional hurt/comfort, explicit sexual content, light dom/sub, protectiveness, honesty, & they love each other very much your honor. Or something.

For Wren and Bull honestly all i can come up with is: mutual dangerboner / HEIGHT DIFFERENCE 🤷‍♂️

For Morgan and Emmrich: age gap, angst, love at first sight , also height difference

(Tbh both wren and Morgan both went "oh fuck me" first time they saw their partners)

Neve & Gareth fall somewhere on the friends to lovers-why do we keep meeting?! spectrum.

They meet several times over the years prior to VG, never learning each others names but flirting HARD before disappearing again.

Then in VG they fall in love 🥰
