More from STARSdidathing
STARSdidathing · Enemies to Friends to Lovers
The long road taken in full: open hostility softens into reluctant truce, truce grows into real friendship, and friendship finally tips into romance. The middle stage is the point — these fics insist the characters actually like each other before they love each other.

STARSdidathing · Canon Divergence
The story follows canon faithfully up to a chosen moment, then branches: one different decision, one survived death, one secret told early, and everything downstream changes. One of AO3's largest tags, because almost every 'what if' is a divergence.

STARSdidathing · Betrayal
Someone trusted turns the knife — a defection, a lie unraveled, a secret sold — and the story measures the wound. Betrayal fic covers the act itself, the discovery, and the long question of whether the breach can ever be repaired.

STARSdidathing · Friends with Benefits
Two friends agree to a no-strings physical arrangement and draw up rules to keep feelings out of it — rules that begin failing almost immediately. The genre convention is ironclad: someone always catches feelings, and usually both already had them.

STARSdidathing · Bodyguard Romance
One character is paid — or sworn — to protect the other, and the professional distance that job requires erodes with every shared hotel room and intercepted threat. The forbidden element is built in: falling for your principal is the one thing a bodyguard must never do.
