Re: Trope talk - Royalty AU

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't liked a lot of them in this fandom. Not because of the writing, but because I don't think people have done a great job converting hockey into royalty. For example, coaches usually disappear and don't appear as characters, but for some reason parents do.

They can be a nice change of setting without mundanity, but what I really like about royalty AUs is that they usually include marriage tropes I love such as forced marriage, arranged marriage, marriage of convenience. Royalty AUs often have themes that include duty and sacrifice that I like in my fic, too.

Probably my favorite Royalty AU in this fandom is the orphaned "And the rest is rust and stardust" which is Kessel/Bozak.

Yes! All of that. Also occasional "We must have an heir!" pregnancy plots, which tend to motivate earlier-than-we're-comfortable-with-it sex, too. If there were some way to get that stuff without actual monarchy, I'd be all for it.

Me too, nonny! Me too.

AYRT - I see what you mean it's normally the attempts to convert teams into royal houses that throws me out.

I like duty and sacrifice and sometimes the marriage type tropes.

I enjoyed that, the fairytale aspects worked for me more than some of the closer to real world ones.
