Whether that be in fanfiction, tv shows, movies, etc. What are some of those tropes that you just yearn for?

My top is definitely sickfics. No matter how many times I read them with the same ship, I just can't get enough. It's the thirst that will never be quenched.
 
A lot of people hate this trope, but I love timeskips. I love seeing how well established characters have changed between time periods and if it’s a sci-fi or fantasy story I like seeing how the world changed too.

I love the tough looking characters that are secretly softies. It’s overdone, but I never get tired of it.
 
looks at all my opposites attract, "a is the literal sunshine in b's life" wlw ships... oblivious mutual pining slow-burns my beloved. love me some insane yearning. fake-dating is one of my favorite tropes to write, too. (and my most popular fics lol.) another one i love, at least with my current ship, is wound care and b fussing over/examining an injured a. manage to get that into a lot of my fics lmao.

Reminds me of Kuwabara from YYH. He's pretty funny and overall one of the better characters from the series.
