More from ObsidianPen

Characters who start as adversaries and gradually develop romantic feelings for each other.
Read enemies-to-lovers →
ObsidianPen · Time Travel
Characters travel through time, either to change events, escape danger, or by accident. Romance may span different time periods or involve changing the past.
Read time-travel →
ObsidianPen · Obsession
One character's fixation on another consumes the narrative — watching, collecting, orbiting — whether it resolves into requited intensity or curdles into something dangerous. Tagged clearly so readers can choose how dark they want the spiral to go.
Read obsession →
ObsidianPen · Dark Romance
Romance that deliberately keeps its sharp edges: morally compromised lovers, dangerous power imbalances, and affection entangled with threat. Distinct from toxic-relationship fic in that the darkness is the genre's draw rather than its diagnosis, and AO3's tagging system ensures informed reading.

ObsidianPen · Canon Compliant
Fic that fits inside canon without contradicting it — missing scenes, between-episode interludes, and untold perspectives slotted carefully into the gaps the source left open. The discipline of the form is making the new material feel like it was always there.
