Give me a fanfiction trope(s) and I’ll grade it:
A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.
B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.
C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.
D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.
F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.

Have started the chocolate hazelnut cherry rum truffles - they're probably ready to assemble by now. It doesn't seem to make much anymore - maybe 20? I remember making trays and trays of them with mum...
Then again, she would gift them to all and sundry - friends, relatives, music teachers...everyone. So it's maybe no wonder we were roped into making so many of them.
It's been a few years since I made them, though, and in that time all the ingredients have gotten more expensive and they're in far smaller packets than they used to be. A 290g pack of choc melts is now more expensive than the 375g pack it was 20 years ago.

I also boiled the potatoes for the potato salad.
Later - as in, full on evening - I'm going to make the pavlova meringue.
I really should charge the twins for groceries and effort...
--
Still nothing from anyone who wants to meet up on Christmas Day. But truly, if someone messages me on Christmas morning and says 'hey, can we meet?' I'm not actually going to say no, although I might be a little disconcerted. Ah well.

For tropes, how about wingfic?

Weirdly, I haven't seen much wingfic in MCU fandom, but then I didn't go looking for it, and nobody was going to write Maria with wings, after all - that at least would have been of interest to me.
I've committed wingfic at least once, I think - but that was more in the line of a 'Winged AU'. It was the starter chapter of what would have been a far longer fic, but I never completed it. Bad habit, I guess, of plotting something out and then not managing to finish it. *makes a face*
