About Love at First Sight
One look and the world reorders itself. These fics commit fully to instant, inexplicable certainty — then spend the rest of the story testing whether the lightning strike can become a life.
In a fandom culture devoted to slow burn, instant love is almost transgressive, and writers have fun proving the feeling was right all along — or interrogating whether it was.
Common scenarios: A character forgetting their own coffee order because of the person behind them in line, or a soldier locking eyes with a stranger across a battlefield and refusing to shoot.
