I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

#this is what I like about fastcardotmp3 fics#like they often have some of the like dramatic aspects (thinking about metamorphoses and the Orpheus reference in particular)#but ultimately it’s all built on a foundation of ‘these people get on! they make each other laugh! they#just like each other!’#and it makes the big dramatic love story parts hit so much more intensely for it#SCREM#fic#steddie
