I Like My Pining With A Side Of Sex

musesfool and melusina were talking about the stories they repeatedly write, here and here.

Years ago, there was a meme that went around LJ where writers wrote about their one true story - the plot or theme that they keep coming back to over and over again across multiple fandoms and characters.

Reading back over my fics, it's clear that that One True Story - or at least, the story that has kept reoccuring in the fics I've written over the last year, is the 'I want more of you than I currently possess' story. Basically, where Character A has a relationship with Character B (often sexual) but Character A wants to level that relationship up to 'sex PLUS emotions' but thinks that that is not even a possibility, for various reasons.

What's your one true story?

Wow what a typo lol. At teh time, I meant worse version, because of how sometimes, especially in darker characters but lighter ones too, you can become controlling, scared, etc...but it can be a good thing too. It just depends.

It does. And honestly, I wish more writers had good characters having unflattering reactions to being in love - either ignoring friends or getting possessive, and having to check their own actions a bit.
