About Power Dynamics
The story foregrounds an imbalance — rank, wealth, magic, immortality, captivity — between characters and watches how it shapes everything between them. Some fics dismantle the imbalance; others examine what intimacy looks like inside it.
Power is the invisible third party in many relationships, and fiction that names it directly produces some of fandom's most charged and thoughtful work.
Common scenarios: A king in love with a bodyguard who cannot safely refuse him, written with full awareness of the problem, or equals-by-the-end arcs where the powerful party deliberately levels the field.
